Glory Is, In Fact, Glorious :: *Britney Spears Reaction* 

Glory deserved at least a nomination for best pop album at the Grammy's... but got none!!! Sooooo unfair... This is a masterpiece for sure!!!

So underrated, this album was a love letter to her fans. The natural voice all over this album and nobody acknowledged it. Such a sin.

The reason Britney is my favorite artist is because she literally reinvents herself with each album. Every album sounds different from the last and I am so here for it.

Fun fact: Britney met her now-husband Sam Asghari in the Slumber Party music video set

Britney actually wrote coupure electriqe by herself in french. Her talent is underestimated.

One thing I love about Beth is, she knows how to appreciate great pop music. Glory is definitely one of the finest pop albums of the past decade and not to mention Britney's most underrated record ever.

It's ridiculous because in hindsight this deserved to be praised by fans way more than it was, but we let her down. Of course, her management didn't let her perform more songs on this album during her Vegas residency like she said she wanted to, but we should've fought harder. We really didn't appreciate 2016-2018 Britney enough when she was serving energy, looks, vocals. She had her spark back but as always people expected too much from her and compared her to her younger self. I truly hope she decides to make another album, because with her creative direction it would be incredible lyrically, vocally, and production-wise.

This Glory era was the brightest moment in her conservatoriship. She came back to life, she was sparkling and more alive than ever, she really worked this album with all of her heart. Before that she was really off, she was literally a zombi, a puppet her father cotrolled. Always quiet and expresionless. From 2008 till the Glory era. Actually she was getting more and more hands on, so the onservatorship put her in the mental clinic becuase she was raising her voice and saying NO, she had lithium injected, this is when the Free Britney started. So they drugged her and made her prissoner in her home untill last year. The albums Femme Fatale and Britney Jean were completely conservatorship. The Femme Fatale tour is painful to watch, she was dead on stage. And she barely recorded Britney Jean. Circus was transitional, the conservstorship was just getting stated. And now Hold Me Closer will be her first freed Britney song.

Glory is easily her best album is over a decade. Such an incredible album. 10/10.

ANOTHER fun fact: the "(By Demand)" part of the title of Mood Ring is there, not because it's in the lyrics, but because fans used the hashtag #JusticeForGlory which let Glory re-enter the iTunes charts and peak at #1, so Britney added it (becuz she re-released Glory in 2020 in which Mood Ring, previously only released in Japan Deluxe, was the lead single [of the re-release]) to acknowledge her fans work.

This album/era had SOOOOO much potential but it was also during the peak of her Vegas residency and I feel like her team was focusing more on that 🥺

That's why the fandon fights so hard for free Britney, because this is the glimpse of the real Britney. She always sang jazz, R&B, had a powerful voice... But the industry forced her to sing using baby voice, she wanted to create versions of her songs, sing live but couldn't. We're looking forward to her first post-guardian album with her face, the way she wants it after 13 years.🇧🇷❤️ See you from Br

"The existence of Britney Spears baffles me" line sent me. Britney freaking Spears. She's truly one of a kind. I also felt like a new person after listening to this album. It's otherworldly. Thank you for reacting to this underrated album, it was a true return to form after the mess that Britney Jean was.

You could tell she was into this album. The soul, the riffs and using her deep natural tone!!!!!

The BEST review of Glory on RU-vid. You really captured how amazing and out-of-this-world the album is. Production is top-tier and EVERY song is good. No skips. You got a new subscriber, hope to see you continue with more Britney albums. Femme Fatale has lots of bops too, I think you'll enjoy. ♥

britney said her fav song on the album is 'just like me' and it is a fan favorite!! and she even called glory her baby

The standard version has 12 tracks (ends with "What You Need") the deluxe has 17 tracks (ends with "Coupure Électrique) the japan deluxe has "Mood Ring" as the 18 track and the 2020 Deluxe includes the latter and "Swimming in the Stars" and "Matches" as "new" tracks, I think they were demos from that era. I forget there was a "new version" at that time, included "Slumber Party feat. Tinashe" in replace of the original (the label delete that version i think) and the original album cover was a front shoot of her face from the video of "Make Me". I really love this reaction. My fave is "If I'm Dancing".

Glory is incredible. It should have done much better when it was initially released back in 2016. With that said, time has only been kinder with this album. I would rank my favorites, but it honestly always changes. However, here are my top 3 favorite Britney albums: 1 Blackout (2007) 2 Glory (2016) 3 Britney (2001) I also love Oops!…I Did it Again and In the Zone, but those 3 I can play forever and never grow tired of.

As a life long hardcore Britney fan, I have to admit that Invitation is one of her best album openers ever. I loved it and glad you did too.

This album is too good! She doesn’t even make it fair for other pop stars. It’s like she can’t flop.

She had no control over circus, britney jean, or femme fatale (even though I love them) ITS SO NICE TO SEE HER IN HER ELEMENT WITH GLORY AFTER IT ALL!!!!

I think Glory ,In the zone and Blackout are the albums that Britney are most involved , and Femme Fatale,Circus and Britney Jean are the albums that Britney was forced to do ,She doesnt seem present like She is so bored

Change Your Mind is my favorite on the album. I get my dance on whenever I hear it. 😂

The reason the album is 20 songs song (without remixes) is because the standard is 1-12, and the deluxe is 13-17, and the Japanese bonus track, “Mood Ring”, is 18, and the two new songs on the deluxe reissue in 2020 are 19 and 20. The album (17 songs / Japan 18) was originally released in 2016!

This album gave her the fire back to life she said it lately .. 10000% PURE

interesting fact: sucker for pain was written for britney and it was supposed to be on her album glory(it leaked on btw u can listen to it) but it ended up being unreleased cuz it was almost telling about her situation (c-ship)

6:52 yes, but the weird thing, is that she seems to be more in "control" career wise in Glory. Like, I choose to believe this was the first (and maybe only) album during the C-ship that she was really involved, like a back to music.

Glory can label as one of the great pop albums in the century. It's the best Britney’s album ever. I couldn't skip any song. Another album I need to recommend you is E•MO•TION by Carly Rae Jepson.

Okay, I just love your reactions!! I'm obsessed with the fact that you react to the album years after it was released with the same enthusiasm and adoration as Britney's fans. I'm from Brazil and the native language of my country is Portuguese, but I love watching your videos reacting to Britney and I can understand every sentence and feeling you pass with just my basic English, I just love your channel, keep reacting to her albums ❤️

She’s delivering VOCALS. That Britney sound! Icon. Always pushing the envelope of sound design and production. I just feel like the song makers always BRING IT for Britney, and then her creative twist and delivery just takes the concept there, constantly delivering pop perfection.

Man On the Moon is just a masterpiece! By far my favorite from the album and at least my top 5 Britney ❤️

Honestly Liar is one of my favorites too, this whole album is great. Princess of pop for a reason

Im glad you liked it, because this is one of her best albums and my second favorite, and yeah, the only album Britney has not been very involved in is Britney Jean, that album was a disaster because of the discography. But this, with Blackout, Britney and In The Zone are the ones she was more invested in. I always have thought that this album really showcases what Glory means, and even in that conservatorship context, she loved and felt happy while recording this. The voice, the production, this is GLORY, this is the ultimate Britney, and as a B-Army, if she decides to never come back to the industry, I think this is the best way to go. Britney is THE girl, the absolute princess of pop and this shows why This album definitely deserved better, we are sorry Brit!

I only today realised that Glory is actually... a STORY! Let me explain: We have the first song on the album "Invitiation", Britney invites us in it to join the party and have a listen to the album. After that, she actually asks us: "Do You Wanna Come Over?" as in Will you be there at my party? We of course said yes. After we come to the place, she thanks us with "Make me..." where she sings how happy we made her that we came. After that, she rewards us for coming with a "Private Show", after performing for us, she remembered her ex because she did the same thing for him. She then awaits for hers "Man on the Moon" as she wants to get closer to her crush. She then talks to us how she wants the guy to "Just Luv Me". After that we come back to the main area, where actually Britney spills some coffee on her crush (Yes, I got "Toxic" vibes). She apologizes to him, and she deciddes to reward him later. The singer then decided to make the party a "Slumber Party", unluckily she sees in the party her ex with a new girl that looks "Just Like Me"... Spears decided to apologize for the clumsy mistake. She asks her crush what she can do. The man answered: "Love Me Down". When they were kissing, Britney still was thinking how it's "Hard to Forget Ya" meaning her ex. She then discards the thoughts and sings to the crush as she has everything "What You Need". After that, Spears feels much "Better". Then another guy comes up to her saying that he's gonna "Change Your Mind". She just simply replies to him that he's a "Liar". She then takes us to dance on the dancefloor and sings bout how "If I'm Dancing" I'm feeling so much better. When we are dancing a "Coupere Electrique" songs come up (songs from "Blackout"). After all of that she after tells us that her life is a "Mood Ring" and that she actually changed mind, and doesn't like her crush anymore. She tells us that we need to relax and makes go "Swimming in the Stars". Then we come back to the building and start playing with "Matches" and because of them, we unfortunately burn down the house and take it as a symbol of forgetting the bad memories, but it's not stopping us from partying! But after all... we get back to home from Britney, she walks us back to house and gives us an autumn goodbye. But the next day when we wake up we get... another "Invitation"! And that's the whole album! Britney had a huge head here!

I'm obsessed with Glory... This is my fav Britney album, since the trilogy for me is Blackout, Glory and the next album you should listen to Femme Fatale... Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen this reaction. I love your reactions.

I can’t believe I watched a 51 min video and didn’t feel it to be that long. Glory. My fave Britney album, and I’m a die hard Britney fan. I loved your reactions!! When you were saying you didn’t know she could do such variations with her voice during Private Show all I could think of was “wait for What You Need”, later on you said you wouldn’t be so sure if the second half of the album was as good as the first, and ooh baby, you were just getting started. This was lovely, I just have a huge smile on my face after watching you enjoy such a masterpiece of an (underrated) album.

I can’t wait for the next album with less autotune, cause it’s time for her to show the world she is in fact a vocalist not just a dancer who sings.

I LOVED YOUR REACTION SO MUCH. I'm going to watch the others you made of her NOW! 😍😍😍😍😍😍🙈💓🎉

This album should have won a grammy

Just Like Me, is my favourite, it really showcases Britney’s naturally low registrar. She has such a unique tone whether she is using her baby voice or natural voice. But, when she uses her naturally low voice it’s just perfection. She really can sing and doesn’t get that credit…

lemonade and glory both came out when I was 18... it shaped me

It’s one of my favourite britney’s album ever. There are several MASTERPIECEs in! Love u from Italy

There was never anything officially said but I am convinced Liar is her response to Justin's Cry Me a River.

One of my all time favorite albums by her, she killed this one. It's very sad it was released during her conservatership because it was very slept on and Britney was rebelling against promoting it. Also, she got her way when it came to making choices on her albums with songs and they let her actually sing like she wanted with this album to trick her into doing the Vegas Residency even longer. OH and you should look up- Liar's hidden vocals they drown out her vocals on the ending and through the song, but be prepared to be blown away when you look it up.

I love Glory! I hate the fact that it’s so underrated, it’s one of the best albums by her

Glory is genuinely one of my favorite albums of all time. Britney first started to record it in 2014 and she said she was taking her time and was going in a more rock direction and wanted a lot of “I hate men songs” 😂 which is incredibly ironic because most of the songs are so flighty and about love. The soft, chill, rock sound is definitely heard throughout though! When it came out in 2016 with the original tracks (plus Mood Ring if you had the Japanese version), the album sounded so sonically cohesive with other Top 40 songs/albums at the time (Purpose by Justin Bieber, Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez’s Revival, and anything by The Weeknd). Britney took a lot of creative control with this album and it really showed. To be honest, as her fan during this time, it really seemed like Britney was a much more reserved person than she used to be. Looking back at it, that seems to be how the conservatorship wanted her to come off during Femme Fatale and Britney Jean because when Glory dropped, Britney’s bubbly unique personality SHINED through. She’s just always been this odd, funny, daring individual and this album perfectly showcases that she’s been the same girl all along. She truly sounded more alive during this album than she did with any of the albums created under the conservatorship. Her father was allegedly less involved during the creation of this album. There were constant rumors that Britney was “off her meds” because even her performing took a completely different turn (in the best way possible). Post Free Britney movement we found out she was really rebelling against her handlers and this album really showcases it. When the album first dropped in 2016 the music video/original photoshoot of the album was completely scrapped. Gone were the images of Britney locked in a cage, her house being surveilled, and her laying in the Vegas desert chained to her house. The video/photos were a complete opposite to the Work B**ch video which showcases Britney full of power in the Vegas desert. It made her look more like a prisoner and it was hella bad ass. The album dropped and the music video was reshot and a blurry screenshot was used for the album cover. Fans still loved the music but the image became so much clearer when she rereleased the album in 2020 with edited photos from the original shoot. That’s where we first saw the chains photo and it started to make sense why the original shoot was scrapped. Most fans find themselves divided on the rerelease. I think this is because we never got confirmation that it was actually “Britney” who wanted it. While Swimming In The Stars was from the original Glory sessions (and is one of my personal favorites and I think fits BEAUTIFULLY on the album), Matches was actually an outtake from her scrapped sessions for the follow up album that was meant to debut in 2018/2019. I feel like most fans found the song/overall rerelease to be a last minute cash grab/distraction from her team as the Backstreet Boys revealed the song was actually *never* meant to be a collaboration and they were surprised the song was released with Britney. We never got a comment from her on her thoughts about the track/rerelease. This era in her career really fascinates me with what happened behind the scenes, what could have been, what actually happened, and how it was reintroduced. Regardless, the music is absolutely phenomenal. Lastly, while remixes aren’t necessarily my jam either, the remixes of Mood Ring are stunning and definitely deserve a listen (at least one of them). The vocal outtake they include is absolutely jaw dropping and was a killer way to reintroduce the album (this was the first single they released for the rerelease). “There’s only one bitch….Britney!”

Will probably never be a pop album better then Blackout in my lifetime but after that and Femme Fatal this would be my third favorite Britney album it’s such masterpiece!! Mood Ring and Change your mind should be singles too can’t wait what her next album will like

Glory is def the mosst involved she has been in all of her albums, she had the vision and made it come true, which was rare for her, and she worked around it how she liked, and got the producers she wanted etc... we got a masterpiece

The fact I've seen this reaction more than once 😂😭

"DO YOU WANNA COME OVER" LITERALLY GIVES ME LIFE

One of the best albums ever recorded! there is no skips and several really unique songs!

This album is incredible. I still listen to it. It feels somehow the most like who she is outside of her brand. I always liken her baby voice to the paris hilton voice. It's a product. This feels far removed from that and it's nice.

That album is sooo good and deserved more marketing, more iconic videos and live performances. Highly under-exploited.

oh i loooove your reaction to if im dancing. I was so blown away when i heard it the first time because i've never heard anything like this in my life. Is it repetitive? yes. But That doesnt care because its so unique.

I love the reactions because basically here are all my favourite projects, but it’s so funny there is literally just *stops the music* + obsessed/insane/favorite in every video around 15 times 😂

I love Glory ❤️ React to Femme Fatale. For me it’s one of her best

Glory was truly a love letter to all her fans. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

This album is immaculate.

Love your reactions! Can’t wait for u to listen to ‘Circus’, ‘Britney self-titled’, ‘Oops’ and ‘Femme Fatale’ ❤️

25:25 hahahaha so relatable😂 I remember hearing this album in 2016 when it first came out and was obsessed, but haven't heard it in a while so thank you for reminding me how good it is! 🙈🙈

« If I’m dancing » love this song so much ❤️

no no nooooo, you were totally right about "(by demand)" hahaha we literally demanded lol

I feel that Britney is often overlooked in favour of the dramas that have happened in her life over the past 15 years. Due to the way the media have handled Britney as a subject, they've stripped away the 'artist' and made her life a complete circus, stripping away her value as an artist but focusing more on her as a damaged entity. Its sad. This is why her album sales have slowly fizzled away with Glory not seeing the success it deserved. I hope and pray her next foray in to the music industry will be super fruitful and put her back on the map as a major and current artist, because she's not 'damaged goods' anymore, but an empowered woman that has found true power through her freedom.

Glory was released in summer of 2016 with a different album cover and ended at Coupure Electrique. Mood Ring was a Japanese bonus track, then later on the label released it “by demand” and then they released a new album cover and a new version of the album that included Moodring, Swimming In The Stars and Matches in 2020

Britney is underrated! She's a great, great artist.

Literally just finished listening to Glory and stumbled upon your video! Such an amazing album. Amazing production. Britney's vocals soar. Will never get tired of it!

Your reactions are the highlight of my week! I bet the instrumental choruses are great for her live performances/dancing!

I subscribed for that epic “Man On The Moon” reaction. This queen is ALL OF US!

The best reaction eveeeeeer 🙌🙌🙌🙌 thank you ❤️

Blackout, In the Zone and Glory are the holy trinity! ❤

Loving your genuine reaction sis. I love her!

Your reaction make me in love with the album again ♥️

I couldn’t stop watching! You really captured how I felt listening to this album for the first time. Definitely at the top of Britney’s work tomorrow . Thanks for making this video

This album is everything 😭❤️🥰 Make Me, Man On The Moon, Slumber Party, Better, Liar, Mood Ring, Swimming In The Stars and Matches are my favorites 💛

I love everything about this album too

I die for your Britney reactions, you are so cool

Britney has spoken a lot about wanting to take a more experimental, melodic, & vocal approach with ‘Glory’ as opposed to her usual pure pop direction. She’s always seemed to favor this album over the others & it was one of the only eras where she seemed happy to be promoting it. In past eras (specifically femme fatale & britney jean) she seemed empty and uninterested when speaking about the process of making those records.

Love your final ranks!!! This album review made me revisit it and I appreciate Glory much more than my first few listens. Thanks!

Glory comeback 2022 - get it to number 1 like it deserves

I loved your reaction!!! En Latinoamérica Britney es muy amada. Es increíble este álbum 🤩😊

she loved this album and was super passionate about it, i feel like it was the first time we saw her so alive since blackout, arguably circus! her sons named the record and she worked on it for 2-2.5 years and as u know, was very involved

Great reaction! Personally, i always perceive britney not just a singer but also a very effective voice actress. She can always change her approach to her songs from seductive, to sweet to aggressive and to soothing ❤️

Welcome to the Britney Army 🤍 Your reaction is EVERYTHING 😂👌 " What you need , Coupure électrique" 👌

The album came out August 26th 2016 - which elton and her song hold me closer came out August 26th too lol so funny. Love this album so much! ❤❤

Britney ❤ gracias por este video.. "Man On The Moon" es todo 😍

I was gonna go to sleep but Glory is such a good album so I have to watch!

This is one of her best albums periodt

Loved your reaction!!!

It's a masterpiece thank you 😊

This is the best reaction video I've ever seen in my life, I enjoyed every second of it with every fiber of my body 😉 These are some facts : Unfortunately Glory had only 2 singles : Make Me & Slumber Party, it was really slept on cause it had zero promotion. Just Like Me is not a fan favorite but it's Britney's favorite song on the album, and those guitar riffs were inspired by Tracy Chapman. 4 years later, Britney released Mood Ring as a surprise single to thank her fans for getting justice to Glory and make it #1. The funny thing is that Mood Ring was #1 on iTunes and outsold Lady Gaga's Rain On Me' and the two versions of Sour Candy. It was supposed to be Gaga's day but Britney decided otherwise. That's the power of Queen Britney, a 4 Years old track outshining hot new tracks.

I REALLY LOVE YOUR EXPRESSIONS ❤

You were right about Mood Ring btw! Haha. It was originally a Japan exclusive in 2016 and fans demanded it for years and they finally added it to streaming services/ the 2020 release of the deluxe album.

If I’m dancing is SO good! I loved that you loved it as much.

GOD how entertaining was this! LOVED IT! Earned yourself a new subscriber! Please do more Britney, she's just pop royalty.

Let Clumsy grow on you. It is a JAM. :) My favorite personally.

I really enjoy your reaction on this album. Your delevery and the camera movements are sooo fun!! I agree with you that Britney's voice has so many colors and you can never expect how she'll sound like before listen to her to sing it.

YASSSS QUEEN SO EXCITED TO WATCH!! DO FEMME FATALE NEXT!!

I love your reactions and Energy. ❤️

I LOVE THIS album and re release with matches so 🔥
