Britney's Comeback Not Going As Planned

Filed under: Britney Spears

breal21.jpg

Britney Spears and her record label have effed up plans to work with hitmaker Ne-Yo, who wrote Beyonce's smash single Irreplaceable.

The singer/songwriter/producer was on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning and he explained what went wrong!

Says Ne-Yo:

"I have no idea what's going on with Britney Spears right now. The last thing I heard was that Britney was mad at me over some songs that were supposed to go to her that wound up going to Nicole Scherzinger. She got the first look. I wrote the songs for Britney Spears, but this was before she shaved her head and went into rehab again. Nicole took the songs and recorded them. Here's how it happened, I was working with Britney Spear's people. I wrote 6 to 8 songs for Britney Spears, working really closely with her A&R people at her label. Then Britney Spears goes ahead and shaves her head and goes into rehab. When that happened, I lost all contact with her A&R people, with her label. I was calling them, they weren't returning phone calls, wouldn't answer my calls. I'm like, 'Alright. I guess they're not interested anymore.' In the process of all that going on, that's when I met [Pussycat Doll] Nicole Scherzinger. She's like, 'Hey, I'm putting an album together, I'd love you to be a part of it.' I played her two songs, she loved them. They cut a check, she recorded the songs. Those are her songs. After that happened, that's when Britney Spears' people called me like, 'Hey, why are you giving away Britney's music?' I'm like, hold on. Y'all ain't cutting me no check!"

      I'm sure that deep down, Britney doesn't want that comeback. She obviously doesn't give a fuck about her career, and why should she? A career is not what she needs right now, she needs to get herself together so she can become a better person and most of all, a better mom.

      Good for him. Everybody's gotta make a living. If Britney wanted the songs, she should have payed for them. Although, why would she, because judging from what I've heard of it, Nicole Whatsherfaces' music sucks pretty bad.

      Britney is a mess and she and her "people" will blame anyone they can for her problems. She doesn't have her shit together and that is HER problem. I can only feel sorry for someone to a certain point….after that, when the person is pretty much self-destructing, it's like "wait a minute here…."…..Ne-Yo did all he could!

      Good for Ne-Yo. Who the hell does Britney and her people think they are? Ne-Yo and everyone else down the line need a pay check too. They can't wait around for a f##k up like Britney. That's exaclty what Brit and her people deserve for not respecting and getting back to people who want to help. Learn from this Brit! AND GROW UP AND FACE REALITY!!!! Good for you Ne-Yo

      Once again this trailer trash proves how stupid she is. All the opportunities in the world that others would kill for, and she just pisses them away. She blew the chance to do a duet with Justin that would have been produced by Timbaland, and now not following through on working with Ne-Yo. Dumb ass. She's more interested in partying, blowing the money she's made, and ignoring her children. Please let her quickly finish her self-destruction. I think everyone is over her except her few deluded 'fans'.

      71

      Try listening to the whole interview and not the segment that Perez posted. Ne-yo goes on talking about Britney and two songs in particular that are still on hold for her even after the fact that he gave some others away. You people take everything Perez says at face value which is probably why some of you believe Castro is dead.

      the problem is she keeps trying to go back to the career she HAD as a, like, seventeen year old. what she should do is write mature her music in time with herself. she's not seventeen years old anymore. USA Today said she is "commercially irrellevant".

      We totally believe Ne-Yo (an insider confirmed this to us). The A&R people should have cut him a cheque and not leave him hanging like that. As for Brit (in this pic, get the girl some help, she's fallin' again!)

      #1 Britney was garbage in her prime…just another pretty face, all slutted out by the music industry to sell records….#2 not that i care..Ne-Yo (if that is his real name lol) is 100% right….now that Britney lost her looks and became a washed up trailer trash momma she would have to rely on her talent to get her paid and she never had any to begin with…I mean Christina Aguilera is just a britney knock off with a mariah carey voice, but at least she did it right….she didn't go off and get have 2 babies who will grow up all fucked up..she concentrated on her career…used her to sex appeal to the max and made as much money as she could before her time is up…i hate her but smary business woman

      81

      Britney sucks.. Her music sucks.. Her personality sucks.. And she's obviously shown the world she's psycho.. But what sucks worse than that, is that the general public is so stupid and gullible that if a few months down the line she decides to take a bath and buy a song with a good beat, all will be forgiven and everyone will be trying to pattern their lives after this crack whore again. So who's the biggest idiot?? At least she gets paid.

      There is no comeback. Her comeback is a myth-like the diet you'll start Monday, or the money you're going to save for a rainy day-its like the skinny jeans you haven't worn in 10 years just hanging there in your closet. Its everything you say you'll do…but you don't.

      The reality is, this bitch sucks. Her album would have been out LONG ago but the record label knows that once that album hits stores it will be the final nail in her coffin. The last few morons that believe in their Britney will have to face the fact that she is gone now. Mark my words, when (if) ever this mystical comeback album drops, it will be an embarrassment to her and anyone who helped her make it. And, more than likely, it will be her last.

      95

      it kills me how all these people who obviously know nothing about how the record industry works talk out of their asses (artists included). if ne-yo offered songs to britney, there was surely a contract involved (trust babies, jive does NOTHING without a contract and their legal department is close to flawless). if he turned around and gave it to another artist, he is indeed breaching that contract and depending how aggressively the label wants to pursue the matter, he can possibly be sued over this.

      that being said, THE LABEL (with some artist input, depending on the artist and how successful at picking tracks they are/have been) ultimately decides which tracks go on an album and which tracks get a pass. chances are britney probably didn't even get to read and/or pass on the songs. as for the a&r department not returning calls? please, they only do that on an as needed basis. in other words, we need you, we call you; otherwise don't call us. he needs to grow up and get a good lawyer to school him.
