Jan 31, 2019Amazing dance-pop record. Love the experimental How I Roll and the trance influenced Trip To Your Heart both produced by Bloodshy.
-
Dec 16, 2014Britney excuse me but this album is not good, you have the potential to make (at least compose) best songs, there are few that can be enjoyed this album.
Highlights: Drop Dead and Till The World Ends
Lows: Gasoline and Do not Keep Me Waiting -

Mar 27, 2020It's an okay album. All single choices are good (especially "Criminal" - love it!). However besides singles and some songs (like "(Drop Dead) Beautiful") whole album gives me "weird" feel and it's not so memorable like it's predecessors.

Nov 6, 2011Where is the voice of Britney? This is the first question that comes to mind when listening to this album. In a full summary of the work, it seems that Britney forgot her good old pop and electronica trend adhered to today.
-
Mar 26, 2012Not as good as "Circus", "Blackout" and "In The Zone" ( in my opinion ) but however this is a good album, with an interesting dub-step that now the biggest part of pop artists uses! The best songs for me are Criminal, Seal It With A Kiss, Gasoline, Inside Out and Hold It Against Me.
-
May 26, 2011The album is nice but nothing more than that. Although meaningless, "Hold It Against Me", "Inside Out", "I Wanna Go", "Gasoline" and "Criminal" are catchy and fun. However, the other tracks are forgettable.
-
Mar 9, 2013This album it's a perfect ballad, but I miss that old Britney's style, she was cute and innovative, and now she just make repetitive dance musics, I'm gaping and disappointed.
-
Mar 24, 2013Britney's Best Album! Till The World Ends, I Wanna Go, Drop Dead (Beautiful), And How I Roll Are My Favorite Songs!
-
Mar 25, 2016Femme Fatale is Really a Great album she should worked harder on her vocals on this album she is really an amazing artist but she nailed it with this album the album highlights were Till The World Ends and Hold it against me.

Apr 7, 2011"Femme Fatale" is perfect! It's the new testament of POP music (The old testament is Blackout). Its melodys are amazing. This CD is full of vocal processing. And it is genious because Britney has the best processed voice in the world. Her voice mingles whit the perfect beat and it makes us want to hear more and more.
-
Apr 15, 2011THE LEGENDARY MS. BRITNEY SPEARS PROVES SHE'S STRONGER THAN EVER AND SHE'S THE NEW QUEEN OF POP!!!!!!! FAVORITE TRACKS ARE: HIAM, INSIDE OUT, HOW I ROLL, I WANNA GO, DROP DEAD BEAUTIFUL, CRIMINAL AND GASOLINE, i love them all but these are my favs
-
Mar 29, 2011Britney returns to the pop spectrum right where she left off with Blackout, continuing to be an advocate for Electro Pop's continual explosion. With hard hitting dubstep beats and an exploration of European dance music, we are treated with one excellent Dance album in Femme Fatale that is sure to leave listeners begging for more. Dare we say, the bar has been elevated? Bravo Ms. Spears, BRAVO!!!

Mar 22, 2012Hear all the tracks and still look the Femme Fatale of the album. Tracks repetitive, empty lyrics and a voice that seems more like a computer. Anyway, where was that Britney's Blackout?

Apr 6, 2011This album is very dancy and catchy at the same time. Britney Spears may have not contributed (writing at least) to this album and is very autotuned, but the music is very catchy and i enjoy every song! keep it up! (and please dance instead of standing like a robot during live performances!)
-
Apr 7, 2011This album is amazing. The beats are brilliant and Britney is so mature right now, she's playing around with her owns songs and showing us she can do this we never expected. How I Roll is amazing, so as the incredible Inside Out and also the catchy songs like I Wanna Go and Till The World Ends. Congrats, miss Spears, you did a wonderfull job!

Apr 30, 2011Femme Fatale is far from being Spears's best album. In fact, it is so overly produced and heavily auto tuned that it could've been the latest Ke$ha album, and no one would care at all. However, it is a ballad free-club ready album that'll make plenty of fans scream, "Britney's back, **** The two latest singles, "Hold It Against Me" and "Till The World Ends", are its highlighted tracks.

Jan 3, 2012This was absolutely the best album of 2011. I didnt listened and liked Britney too much before this one, but this, totally changed my mind. Maybe her voice is not that good, but her music is totally worth listening a thousand times. She proved that She is one Queen of Pop Music!
-
May 19, 2012To me, Femme Fatale is Britney's best album. Of course it could be that now that I listen to her older albums, they sound a bit stale and out of date, whereas Femme Fatale has a more current vibe (obviously, being her latest). The single choice of Criminal threw me a little, though, as I think there are far better songs on this album than that one.
-
May 29, 2012In My Opinion Britney's Best Album!
I Listen To Every Song Almost Every Day! Best Songs:
Til The World Ends I Wanna Go How I Roll
Worst Songs:
Big Fat Bass -

Nov 27, 2013Disgusting!! Crude awful and gross. Britney and One More, were flirty and fun, this is just dead and off-putting
Not even any really nice melodies. Like some idiots playing with a computer program with a bunch cheap effects.
The best song is hold it against me, were a fine chorus barely survives an onslaught of special effects.
Dead, gross, dumb. -
Jan 28, 2017Hinario, um dos melhores da britney, nunca entendi porque tem fã que odeiam esse album é um dos melhores lançados em 2011, tem varias musicas boas como criminal, hiam, up n down...

Jun 29, 2011Ewwwww one of the crappiest thing I have ever listened to. What is she doing? This is an auto-tune MESS! No Britney this is not the album you are supposed to make, sorry.
-
Oct 8, 2011So this is what people call as pop music this days. I don't think Madonna would approve this new phase of Britney, and she even could lost her "Princess of Pop" rank. It's just pour electropop, with crappy lyrics, and strange beats, she just made pop for pop.

Nov 21, 2012This is a really bad album, full of autotune, and bad songs, all the album sounds old, the same sound as always, i just find this so boring. Thank god i dont have to hear this anymore.
-
Apr 11, 2011This album gave my cat cancer. Why would this exist? Who thought it would be a good idea to make this? Seriously why? It's sooooo bad!! I don't have enough caharacters to submit this so yeah, extra sentence.
-
Aug 19, 2011Pure pop trash. Auto-tuned lazy songs with no substance. No wonder it flopped. No effort by Britney Spears. She has lost touch with her fan base and will continue to decline.

May 24, 2011This album is the perfect reflection on modern pop music. Britney provides dance music that is not only traditionally catchy, but at some points taking some risks. Her voice is playfully constructed throughout the album to fit each song, and she does it well. Her voice ranges from playful, to light, to serious, to seductive. Great balance of songs that are cohesive. Good job, Britney.

Mar 23, 2012An 'okay' album for someone like Britney Spears. Her earlier work like '...Baby One More Time' and 'Oops!...I Did It Again' were amazing but Femme Fatale is a huge let down.
-
Nov 14, 2012I guess they don't even bother showcasing her voice anymore, do they? I wonder when will we get to hear the real Britney Spears telling us how she really feels, you can tell she's no longer living the dancer's life so why is asking me to keep on dancing till the world ends?
It's a pity cuz she looked like she had potential 10 years ago. -

Jun 30, 2011Femme Fatale represents no growth as an artist. But it is Britney Spears after all so what so we shouldn't expect much. From the auto-tune to the mediocre songs, Femme Fatale is a mess from start to finish.
-
May 24, 2011Whoever said this album is good must be deaf. I've been a Spears fan for a while, but this is gross. Born This Way > Femme Fatale for sure, but what else can you expect from a hasbeen. It's very sad, I actually expected a lot more from Femme Fatale.
-
Jun 28, 2011This album is horrible just like her, and her fans. She is too grown to be singing about little teenage girl things and she needs to grow up and make a brilliant album like Beyonces '4' if she wants my time and money.

Aug 3, 2012With "Femme Fatale" Britney gives us her worst album filled with generic and repetitive songs. The only songs that are not that generic are Inside Out and the bonus track He About to Lose Me.
-
Aug 30, 2016One of the worst albums of the year thus far. It shows absolutely no artistic growth, the lyrics are elementary, and the vocals are non-existent. All in all, a terrible album. Collapse
-
Apr 1, 2012She do not deserve to be the princess of pop. This album is full of uter crap. Most of the songs are fillers, if they are not, they were released as singles. The best song is clearly Don't Keep Me Waiting, but buying the deluxe edition is not worth it. I disapointed
-
Nov 10, 2012Terrible album, wonder when is she going to start singing or making music with actual lyrics not everything in life is about partying. The only solid track is Criminal. I wish she could stop trying to be Kesha.

Apr 6, 2011Britney Spears is definitely making a combat. This album is a lot better than her last album and has great collaborators from Will i Am and others. It's a great pop album and it's fun to listen to.

Apr 21, 2011Probably the best album Britney has released to date. The album has a much more mature and darker sound than one is used to with Britney. The songs featured are well produced, with heavy electropop beats, often on the verge of dubstep.

May 29, 2011The first two singles, "Hold It Against Me" and "Till the World Ends", are the highlights of the album; the lead single is the strongest song on the record. Her third single, "I Wanna Go", is catchy but irritating. "Big Fat Bass", featuring Will.i.am, is the weakest and most annoying song on the album. Other than these exceptions, the album is great.
-
May 25, 2011Femme Fatale is destined to become a legendary album, for its techno vibe and timeless music, britney has wasted no time in the studio as she has made a masterpiece for the young generation. This left me speechless, and I congratulate her on this album!!
-
May 24, 2011This is the best album of the year. It spawned two smash hits, Hold It Against me and Till the World Ends Britney Spears is back in the pop game where she belongs. None of these current pop tarts (especially Lady Gaga) have anything on the future Queen of Pop.
-
May 31, 2011This is the best Britney Spears' album that's for sure! I didn't even expect such outstanding result after her previous album! Almost every song has an easy, catchy melody and they're really fun to listen. Max Martin did an excellent job! This is the best pop release so far!
-
Oct 20, 2011Femme Fatale's heavy production and Spears' overly processed vocals will turn off true music lovers. But in the end, Spears' fans and even the youngsters will adore this ballad-free, club ready album that's simply made for the dancefloor.
-
Jul 4, 2011Great pop album, Best album of 2011? maybe not. I like most of the tracks but wish there were 2 or 3 ballads. Britney should experiment with her voice to prove her critics wrong.
-
Jul 5, 2011Superb recording, Britney! Great production techniques, excellent phrasing. Great all around hit record from Britney Spears. I highly regard this artist and the works and catalog of fine music. Value, quality and fun! It's in my blackberrry and cloud 9 music library cloud. Yay.

Aug 31, 2011Not her best album but not her worst. All of the songs are good enough and most could serve as singles. Some tracks are refreshing while others seemed recycled. Overall a strong album. Her voice is the only real "problem". All the effects could and should go away. Criminal, Inside Out, and He's About To Lose Me are the best racks and most refreshing on the album.
-
Sep 10, 2011Britney's back with a new masterpiece. The only thing missing? Ballads. "Femme Fatale" neerds a real ballad, and we can't consider "Criminal" one. Max Martin, who is one of the best songwriters ever, wrote fantastic songs though, and Britney sang them amazingly. It's only sold 1.4 millions copies worldwide right now, but it's going to sell more throught the weeks.
-
Sep 12, 2011Blackout is the best album but we're talking about Femme Fatale now! This album introduces dubstep in songs like Hold It Against Me (this genre became famous thanks to this song) and I Wanna Go. The ballad Inside Out is really sexy. Criminal (in my opinion) is the best song in the album. Catchy beat and sweet melody.
-
Oct 25, 2011It is truly wonderful. "Circus" was very good, but "Femme Fatale" is exceptional. It's uptempo, seductive and the purest form of pop music you can find. I recommend it without hesitation.

Dec 13, 2011a great, catchy, fun pop album. Ms. Spears still has it. a few of the b-sides and latter portion of the album I could do without, but mostly from start to finish, this album will make you want to dance.
-
Feb 5, 2012A good album with catchy beats. No innovation at all. Gottwald has the ability to turn all the artists her works with into mainstream pop stars. Extremely auto-tuned and Ke$ha-like. It sure makes us all miss the days when Britney used to sing. Definitely, not her best album at all.
Awards & Rankings

May 24, 2011Despite a slew of hit singles and eye-popping sales figures, Britney Spears has never released an album as coherent from start to finish as her latest, Femme Fatale.

Apr 15, 2011The poppers keep on coming right through the bonus tracks of porn-lite funk-lite that's quirky and clever front to back.
-
Apr 5, 2011Femme Fatale equips Britney with material which is strong enough to enable the original all-American Pop Princess to hold her own in such an overcrowded context.
