    I adore Britney to death, but this sounds like a total rip off of what Madonna's doing with "Celebration". So, first we get a rehash of "Take a Bow" for the "Radar" video and now we get a copycat of a greatest hits package....wasn't one enough? Make another few albums and then do another greatest hits-not 5 years after an already premature "My Prerogative". *le sigh*

    on Best Britney album cover of all time? (View covers on our Music page.)

    My favourite cover was always "Britney". The concept of the album was well conveyed in the image-The different colors and facets of her personality coming together to be the girl we know, yet still not completely defined and "in-progress". It also doesn't rely solely on the merits of the photograph. There are volumes of tremendous shots of Britney, they've just never been used for her album covers.

    A close second for me would be the "Oops!" cover. It's got the mixture of innocence and experience all communicated in her eyes that's just alluring. The more I look at the Circus cover the less I like her eyes in it. There's too much that's off-putting about it for me to really like it.

    Although it's 10 times better than the garish eyesore that was the Blackout cover, it feels underwhelming. I understand it from a circus poster perspective, and although it could have been better it's still nice to look at. Apparently no one remembers that In the Zone's cover was remarkably bland as well...

    p.s. Personally, "Mmm Papi" sounds like an awful title. She's not latin at all so why try to be? IDK...
