Britney Spears - Femme Fatale

[Woaah]

Love the title. Album cover is really tacky though. :-?

[Oo567oO]

I really like the title! (even though I don't know how to say it) and the album cover is pretty decent

[GetBack]

I don't like that she's covering her face in promo pics! :x

Anyway, I'm glad that the photo is not photoshopped! The HQ photo really shows the lines and pores on her skin!

Femme Fatale is a tribute to bold, empowered, confident, elusive, fun, flirty women and men .

how on earth is Femme Fatale a tribute to men?

A man (a homosexual most likely) can also be one in certain regards if he has feminine tendencies.

He'd still be homme fatale

[Colin]

^ I think I prefer that one too.

Plus, the hand is positioned in a way that hides her face (i.e. she is mysterious as the title says she is).

of course there are ways to interpret this but i just it sounds odd in an official press release

and to certain extend they probably added it so as to not let anyone out of it

I like the album title. The cover is a bit of a disappointment though...,
I get the "femme fatale" vibe from her look and everything but she needs to be dressed in red or something. Rather than the deceptive angel look which doesn't translate too well in a still picture.

This cover would work better imo

I am so impressed with the title, I love it.
However, they could have done so much more with that cover.

[NoAngels]

Thanks "Col" and "GetBack", I'll add it to my vocabulary!

[leoapp]

The cover isnt that good, urrgghhh the brows!

The title should've been in English!

What does "Femme Fatale" mean anyway?

"A femme fatale (pronounced /?f?m f??tæl/ or /?f?m f??t??l/; French: [fam fa?tal], with all [a]'s) is a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. She is an archetype or stock character of literature and art. Her ability to entrance and hypnotize her victim was in the earliest stories seen as being literally supernatural, hence the most prosaic femme fatale today is still described as having a power akin to an enchantress, vampire, female monster or demon.

The phrase is French for "deadly woman". A femme fatale tries to achieve her hidden purpose by using feminine wiles such as beauty, charm, and sexual allure. Typically, she is exceptionally well-endowed in addition to possessing these qualities. In some situations, she uses lying or coercion rather than charm. She may also be (or imply to be) a victim, caught in a situation from which she cannot escape; The Lady from Shanghai (a 1947 film noir) is one such example.

Although typically villainous, femmes fatales have also appeared as antiheroines in some stories, and some even repent and become heroines by the end of the tale. In social life, the femme fatale tortures her lover in an asymmetrical relationship, denying confirmation of her affection. She usually drives him to the point of obsession and exhaustion so that he is incapable of making rational decisions."

Nice title.

Cover is B.O.R.I.N.G. to me. Its like something someone could've made on photoshop.

I was hoping it'd be a bit of a dramatic cover, a bit Smoky, Sultry, Jessica Rabbit style.

Amazing title - I love it! I like the cover as well but not the font.

[HBIC]

Thinking about it Hold It Against Me have Femme Fatale vibe. Do you think FF will be also a song/single?

I hope so! That would be hot. & maybe with this title, the I Am In Love (With A Criminal) song actually might be on the album! Suits the title
