Alien Is The Only Song In Her Entire Career That...

[ALEX -II- 11O39]

... that is the first song in an album's tracklist and is NOT a single.

 

WHYYYYYYY

 

[Guest]

I don't know why it wasn't released as single It's such a good song it deserved single status

[JocastaIsYoMama]

I love Alien but lbr, there's no way they could have released it after Perfume flopped and that horrible vocal cut went viral. The song had no chance, and the production ruined it anyway. Still not over them letting a glitch get through on a final record 

[JennyFromTheBlock]

My phone lists it as 0, for some reason it cannot list it as 1  

 

Flop Benni J and ha programming 

[Britnoy]

They probably had plans to release it as 3rd/4th single but the album flopped so...

^^^^ I was just talking to my boyfriend the other day about the glitch, along with the awful vocal production on T.I.'s verse on Tik Tik Boom (why is his voice so drowned out?). I cannot believe that they let an album for a superstar like Britney go out like that. Shabby, shabby, shabby. And so disappointing.

[Ouch]

I still don't understand what and where is that glitch you are all talkin about

Are you talking about the vocal production here??

 

Because the instrumental production ... like... LMAO... does not meet that sentence at any point of its 3 minutes and 56 seconds...

[JonHardy!]

I love Alien and I think it's a great first track!.....i really wish that it had been a single!

[JoshLee]

It's at 2:15 if I'm right and he vocals cut off before the next verse: it goes: byt the starssss in the skyyyy look like home, take me home and the liggghhhh- in your eyes

[JoshLee]

It should of been a single along with TIG

[JocastaIsYoMama]

Both songs would have flopped 

BJ should have been like a 6 - 7 song Vegas EP with one or two singles and nothing more

This, besides Alien was pretty basic imo, i liked it but it was very flat, no angst, no bridge, etc didnt really come off as single material....if we wanna discuss midtempos that has potential to be a single HATLM on the other hand,

but thats true i never noticed   another thing BJ ruined

we all should close the chapter BJ. there is femme fatale and then b9. lets just pretend there wasnt b8

 

 

 

jk. idk why it wasnt the first single, but i think work bitch was a great choice

[edurance]

I am the only one who thinks Passenger would have been a great second single. It still sounds so fresh to me, and the instrumental and lyrics are probably the best work on Britney Jean 

[Cookie Time]

It wouldn't work on charts. Well, did Perfume work on charts too? No, but it was the only song which is don't contain Myah vox in it (with Don't Cry but Perfume's electro beat is more listenable than Don't Cry because people dont care ballad songs when it comes to Brit, they want to listen slay-ass dance songs.)

You hate TIG so much

But we should keep in mind it was suppose to be better, but then will.i.am scrapped everything

[Ooh-Ooh Britney]

AP in 2013 but still.. Alien deserved to be a single

It doesn't matter. The album is what it is - and it's not very good. I know y'all love TIG and that's fine, we all have different taste... but it would have flopped and brought even more negative press to the album / Britney. Truthfully I'm glad they let it die. There's no way that mess would have hit on radio. It sounds straight out of 2003. And Britney is just as much to blame for letting the album go out the way it did.

The mistake is that ... for Britney... ballads never work for her... (Chart wise)
