    Incredibly, the album is really personal. The opening track "Alien" finds her crying at times she felt alone. "Perfume", "Till It's Gone" are deep as well. "Passenger" would be the PERFECT lead single, she hits notes no one would imagine and it is how pop-rock songs should be made.

    I really like Britney Jean, i think Britney is better now than she made Femme Fatale or BlackOut,
    I really like Passenger, Work or Til Its Gone. Amòò

    É um bom álbum, tem muito amor envolvido nele, mas não é tudo que Britney pode dar.
    A canção "Alien" é linda, tem uma boa história e refrão envolvente e chiclete. "Work B**ch" tão criticada e julgada como ruim, é boa, eu particularmente amo essa música. Apesar de Britney não esforçar vocais, tal música que pode ser cantada facilmente por qualquer um, mas é ótima para as baladas. "Perfume"    É um bom álbum, tem muito amor envolvido nele, mas não é tudo que Britney pode dar.

"Perfume" a baladinha romântica, fácil de cantar, tem um bom toque, mereceria ser sucesso. "It Should Be Easy (feat. Will.I.am)" Definitivamente a melhor coisa dessa música é o instrumental. "Tik Tik Boom (feat. T.I)" ótima, merece Twerk, merece ser single. "Body Ache", "Chillin' With You (feat. Jamie)" e "Til It's Gone" Meia Boca, a melhor chega a ser Til It's Gone. "Passenger" pra mim é uma das melhores músicas que deve ser single, e que deveria ter sido o segundo, substituindo Perfume. A introdução de "Don't Cry", a melhor faixa do álbum é perfeita, apesar de que deveria ter sido acrescentados mais alguns vocais da Princesa do Pop. Hold on Tight, Brightest Morning Star e Now That I Found You são boas, porém mereciam estar no Britney Jean, e não no Deluxe. Britney sempre foi a princesa do pop, apenas tem que se comportar como uma, porque só o nome dela é o suficiente para muita coisa.    … Expand

    Very personal and close to her with 2 or 3 club songs. Perfect mix of personal yet fun!! Great job Brit! Love it! Can't wait to see what you do next! Fav tracks include: Work B****, Alien, Passenger, and Hold on Tight! Actually, to be honest I love every song!

    An amazing Album by Britney Spears, trying different styles. It doesn't have as many hits as her other albums, but it sure contains great songs, like "Alien", "Tik Tik Boom", "Perfume" and "Work B*tch". If you like Electronic Pop and Ballads, this album is for you.

    Britney teve que lançar o álbum com muita pressa devido a sua Residência em Las Vegas, o álbum não é o melhor de sua carreira, isso é evidente. O álbum é pessoal e foi feito com carinho para os fãs, todas as faixas são ótimas especialmente Work B**ch. O que estragou o álbum foi o Will.i.am. Os vocais de Britney na baladinha Perfume é impecável e mostra a bela voz que ela possui.

    Com um encarte Maravilhoso e uma sonoridade bem leve o album trás uma Britney bem mais pessoal e menos robótica, Destaque para musicas como Brigtest Morning Star, Aline, perfume, Tik Tik Boom e Till it's gone

    "Britney Jean" was one of the most highly anticipated albums in 2013. Britney called it her most personal album ever, and that's exactly what it was: it was personal.

    I love "Alien," a midtempo track about feeling like an outcast, like an alien, and about finding her place in her world, where she belongs. "Work B**ch" is a banger, yes, but it is personal, too; Britney worked hard to get    "Britney Jean" was one of the most highly anticipated albums in 2013.

    I love "Alien," a midtempo track about feeling like an outcast, like an alien, and about finding her place in her world, where she belongs. "Work B**ch" is a banger, yes, but it is personal, too; Britney worked hard to get where she is now. "Perfume," though the whole "mark my territory" part is questionable, is about jealousy, about her feeling paranoid that her boyfriend is cheating on her, and obviously, Britney has been in this situation before. I would've loved "It Should Be Easy" much, much better if Britney had taken another approach with it; the production could've been handled better - like less robotic effects on her voice, maybe a more stripped-back production overall, and more revising of the lyrical content. Don't get me wrong: I like "Tik Tik Boom"; the production is well-done, and it showcases Britney's vocal ability, but it doesn't feel like it belongs here, like it would be more fitting for, I don't know, a separate E.P. entitled "Blackout 2.0." "Body Ache" doesn't belong here, either, and I feel like it could've been made available through a different means, unrelated to this album. "Til It's Gone" is an upbeat, emotional track, which displays a personal side to Britney, while allowing anyone to dance to it, as well. "Passenger," one of my personal favourites, has an amazing production, the most unique out of the rest of the album, and those vocals . . . whoa! Britney blew me away! "Chillin' With You," though a soothing, relaxing song, wasn't a favourite, but it still fits with the personal vibe. And "Don't Cry" reminds me of Britney Spears' earlier content, and her vocals are the most natural, the most raw here. "Brightest Morning Star" is a beautiful, uplifting track, which is either about her two sons or God. "Hold On Tight" is another personal favourite, and it is one of the songs I most relate to; her vocals are amazing, filled with emotion, which is pretty powerful. "Now That I Found You" is just as relatable and just as amazing. And I loved the stripped-down version of "Perfume," which ends the deluxe edition. Overall, I loved Britney Jean!    … Expand

    Nesse CD, Britney tentou fazer algo pessoal só que com pegada comercial. Isso resultou em letras pessoais e melodia/instrumental mainstream. Sem nenhuma promoção, o álbum foi apenas algo pessoal como Blackout.

    Britney Jean é o álbum mais pessoal da carreira de Britney Spears segundo a mesma: Com todas as faixas co-escritas pela cantora, o álbum apesar de boa melodia e composições peca em certas partes.

    Spears deveria ter explorado mais sua voz desta vez (o que faz sentido, o que seria mais pessoal do seus que vocais crus?) porém Perfume & Don't Cry são algumas das poucas faixas onde não vemos    Britney Jean é o álbum mais pessoal da carreira de Britney Spears segundo a mesma: Com todas as faixas co-escritas pela cantora, o álbum apesar de boa melodia e composições peca em certas partes.

    I can consider this one of Britney's best albums, it really has bangers that weren't used like they deserved. Vocal showcase in songs like Passenger, Perfume or Don't Cry show that Britney still have it. It also has dope beats in tracks like Work B**ch!, Tik Tik Boom, Til It's Gone and It Should Be Easy. This is actually a valuable jewel.

    Another absolutely brilliant Britney album. This album is half dance music with Work **** Til It's Gone, Tik Tik Boom and Body Ache, and half getting more personal music with Don't Cry, Alien, Perfume and Brightest Morning Star. I wish Alien had of been released as a single and Britney had of had the time to promote it and the album more, because it was a massively underrated album.

I really enjoyed the whole album from start to finish.

    In her next project, it would be awesome to see something like Blackout 2. I'm really hoping to see her team up with Danja in the near future.    … Expand

    Raw emotion at its finest. Coming in strong with her 8th studio album, Britney Spears delivers some of her most uncut and personal songs to date. With heart throbbing ballads like "Perfume" and EDM anthems like "Work B**ch", this album is truly a showcase of the versatility of Ms. Spears. Britney Jean is arguably the best album of 2013.

    One of the best Pop albuns of world. Don't follow the Britney Spears's genre, however, it's yet a great one. Work **** shows the best of the album. It's for sure, if you buy Britney Jean, you'll have no regret.

    Unnecessary hate.
    At least not so much.
    The controversy of this album isn't solely on Britney, she was rebelling for her freedom and people should've supported her basic human rights.
    Still has good songs on it and..

    This is by far Britney Spears’ best album. It’s personal, introspective and beautiful tracks like “Don’t Cry”, “Alien”, and “Passenger”, are where the album truly shines and radiates a mature, vulnerable Britney we aren’t used to seeing. But the album also perfectly keeps the quintessential Britney image that we all love with songs like the bold “Work **** and the sexy “Tik Tik Boom”.This is by far Britney Spears’ best album.
