Kanye West isn’t the only one dropping a new album today. Pop sensation-turned-tabloid punching bag Britney Spears has also released her new album Circus exclusively on imeem, where you can stream the album in its entirety for free.

There’s nothing groundbreaking in Circus that would necessarily suggest that Britney is “back,” but at least she’s in the game again and not looking like trash.

I just don’t know what to say to this. I’m speechless. Has Britney Spears gone nuts!!? I’ll let you decide.

It has really gone down hill for her these days. I really used to like Britney. She’s a total mess now!

And what is this about people touching her? Who is touching her? And since when doesn’t she want to be touched!?

Representatives for the writers of the Britney Spears song “Do Something” have written to the producers of K-pop star Lee Hyo-lee saying “parts” of the title song in Lee’s latest album “Get ya” are plagiarized. While this is not the first time the Korean pop industry has been accused of pilfering, it is the first time the copyright holder has formally complained.

Universal Music Publishing Korea, which handles copyright of “Do Something” here, said Thursday it sent a recording of “Get Ya” to the composers of the Spears song and the company that manages the copyright 15 days ago. In response, three out of the four composers agreed that the Lee song was “significantly influenced” by their own work “and there are some parts that constitute plagiarism,” Universal said.
There are no hard-and-fast criteria to decide what constitutes plagiarism in Korea, and any such allegations must be decided in court following a complaint by the author of the “original” work.

Universal said it will meet with the songwriters behind “Get Ya” to seek a settlement, but it did not rule out legal action. Murmurs about the startling similarity between the two songs arose as soon as Lee’s album hit the stores on Feb. 9. The artist herself denies anything other than temporary precedence of one work over the other, saying, “It’s just that Britney Spears did this funky style of music before me,” but insisted “Get Ya” was different in vocals, rhythm and tune.
