If there’s one consistent in Britney Spears’ consistently inconsistent life – it’s well, the inconsistencies.

Spears’ 5th studio album since 1998, Blackout, is no exception. It’s a hectic and very public affair, with Spears exposing pretty much every aspect of her personality and body in a way that, believe it or not, she’s never really done before. With confidence.

Sure, she’s still on the never ending quest for male validation, but this time, it’s more of a “you snooze, you lose” situation and Spears will simply burst into the next attitude driven pop masterpiece if you’re too slow on the uptake to notice that she’s suddenly single.

“Coming back, lookin’ delicious/Yes I know you wanna kiss it,” she snarls, on Toy Soldier, a step by step instructional manual on How Not To End Up Like Kevin Federline, Spears’ kicked to the curb ex husband of two years.
