Listen: 'I Wanna Go' set as Britney Spears next single and music video
Is she mentally incompetent, as her parents allege?
“I Wanna Go” will be the third single from Britney Spears’ current album “Femme Fatale.” The tune, which features Spears’ singing (autotuned as it may be), is produced by Shellback, Savan Kotecha and Max Martin. Chris Marrs Piliero will direct the video.
The song, which is also distinguished by Spears’ playful stuttering and its peppy whistling along the lines of Peter, Bjorn & John’s “Young Folks,” is about gratification, both self (wink, wink) and at the hands of others.
It follows “Hold It Against Me,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, and “Till the World Ends,” which got a rebirth through a remix featuring Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha, ultimately peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The tune is also No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs.
In other Spears news, her parents are claiming that she is still mentally unstable. The singer’s ex-manager, Sam Lufti, is suing Spears’ mom, Lynne Spears, for defamation. As part of the suit, he wants Spears to dive a deposition. However, her parents filed a motion in Los Angeles Superior Court on May 9, claiming that she is mentally incapable of testifying, according to Hollywood Reporter. Spears’ father, Jamie, still serves as her conservator, as he has since her very public breakdown four years ago.

We have no idea what Spears’ mental state is, but it was very clear that he promotion for Spears’ “Femme Fatale” was tremendously controlled in terms of virtually no live appearances. Most performances were taped beforehand to allow for editing. Additionally, her print interviews were conducted largely by email, including one for Rolling Stone. However, Lufti points to an interview with Ryan Seacrest that aired on his radio show on KIIS to her competence.

May 14, 2011 at 12:34PM EST Reply to CommentI'd have prefered Criminal as 3rd single. I Wanna Go is too similar to Hold It Against Me/Til the world Ends. Pretty sick of her parents to claim she's still nuts when they're happy enough for her to make them more and more money with tour after tour. It's clear to any Britney fan that she's a million times more interested in being a mum than having a career. Her parents are disgusting human beings IMO. The crazy manager guy probably let her do her own thing. Granted, it went badly wrong, but she's been in a mind "prison" ever since. It's no life at all.
RObert I agree. I feel so bad for Brit. Hope she truly is okay. I sooo love her music and will always buy it, but maybe it's time for her to step out of the industry. In the interviews that I have seen, she seems uninterested with her career. Now, it's all about the company and her parents needing her to make more money.
