Britney Spears’ ‘Work Bitch’ single cover art: Photoshop fail or classic Brit-Brit?

I’ve mentioned this before, but I seriously can’t get it out of my head – whenever I see Britney Spears these days, I can’t stop imagining her talking exactly like Tyler Perry’s Madea. So when I saw Britney’s new single cover art for “Work Bitch,” I said it to myself in the Madea voice. It sounded like “WERK, Berch!”

Anyway, the cover art is a work (bitch) of fiction. They might as well just put a Barbie doll in front of a mirror and photograph the doll, because that’s all this is. I do wonder if Britney realizes that’s what’s happening though. Like, they get all dolled up and they know she still looks like a hot mess, but every one of her handlers is thinking, “Eh, we’ll fix it in post-production.” And then they show the post-production image to Britney to just reinforce something positive with her? Or does Britney not even care at this point? Maybe she’s the one Dorito-farting through feathers, knowing that they’ll fix it in post.

Earlier this week, Britney “revealed” the “cowriters” of “Work Bitch”. Her new single has no fewer than FIVE cowriters. It takes a village, people. “Work Bitch” is written by Swedish producer Sebastian Ingrosso (of Swedish House Mafia), Will.i.am, Otto Jettman (a.k.a. Swedish house DJ Otto Knows), Ruth-Anne Cunningham and Anthony Preston. All of those people, all of that talent… and it’s probably still going to sound like a budget version of Demi/Katy/Ke$ha. “Work Bitch” will be released on Monday. Unless someone “leaks” it over the weekend.

Brit-Brit also tweeted this photo a few days ago from her video shoot for “Work Bitch”. Oh, Britney. Bless your heart.

      +1 Judge me all you want but I can’t wait to hear the new song 🙂

      • bns says:

        Who’s judging? Britney is amazing! I can’t wait either.

      • Minty says:

        I’m always cheering for Britney. She gave until she had no more to give.

        Worked or not, I feel this cover shot is amazing.

      • Just Me says:

        “I’m always cheering for Britney. She gave until she had no more to give.”

        …and still keeps giving! I’m with you. Rooting for B!

    • ParisPucker says:

      I think she looks hot! Good for her for coming back from the brinks of *god knows what* – – it seems like she’s just now finding herself amid mental illness and being around people who always wanted a piece of her. Go Brit!

      • Melissa says:

        I agree Britney is so likable, seems like shes genuinely good-hearted and it’s hard not to feel sympathetic regarding what she’s been through – always happy to see her doing well.

      • lisa says:

        i always hoped she would get the last laugh, whatever that means to her. whether it be a hit song or retiring to an avocado farm.

        everyone else is photoshopped to death too.

  1. bondbabe says:

    What in the photoshop hell? What did they do to her chest? Where is her collarbone?

    • BW says:

      Where’s her collarbone? Where are her boobs? It’s like nothing on her torso is real and the person doing the “art” has never seen a woman before.

      • AnnE says:

        I think maybe the chest isn’t photo shopped so much as it is a nude mesh type of insert to the costume she is wearing. You see it in dancer and figure skater costumes also, to make sure no nip slips but in this case I think it is just more transparent.

      • Joh says:

        You can see the line of the mesh .
        It looks to be a scoop neckline

    • MistyNinja says:

      Thank the universe-someone else notice this. I am a huge Brit fan. And the first thing I said was they photoshopped the s–t out of her tits. WTF. Her body is great.

      • Snugbug says:

        Her chest was NOT photoshopped. It’s a nude mesh insert like the ones you see on figureskating costumes. If you look closely, you can see the scoop neckline of the insert.

    • Joy says:

      It’s like from the neck down they clicked “make this photo into a cartoon”

    • TherapyCranes says:

      I think her outfit is like an ice skating gown and there is some type of nude colored fabric from the neck down. You can kind of see the line. That would make more sense than some terrible photoshop job.

  2. Greata says:

    My heart breaks for this girl.

    • Amory says:

      This is my thought as well. She is mentally ill, so much so that she has not legally controlled her life for many years. I don’t know what people are thinking. I find the photo and frankly the whole situation to be exploitative and wrong.

    • LadyMTL says:

      Me too, I find she looks very sad in the top pic, there’s something in her eyes that makes me want to wrap her in a blanket and feed her cookies.

    • bammer says:

      Absolutely appalling that her “family” is doing this to her. Just let the poor girl be normal and healthy away from the spotlight. Haven’t they exploited and made enough money off of her by now? I just don’t understand how anyone can find joy in her career.

    • tessy says:

      Me too. She just seems like such a lost soul. I don’t know what they do to those disney kids to screw them up so much but thats why I can’t hate on Miley as annoying as she is.

    • Amanda G says:

      I agree, I wish her handlers would let her retire. She clearly has had no interest in her career for many years now. She burned out young.

  3. QQ says:

    Im Gonna be Saying WERQ BITCH! to myself all day… the hair extensions look brushed and fab in both pics, So that is a win!

    Annddd I still dont understand why cant they let homegirl go live in Hawaii or Louisiana doing nothing and fanning her ass with her Millions? So She has to be “productive” is Churning out vocoder songs and Unimspired damce routines the Only way?

  4. Quinn says:

    Shuffle her out, prop her up…whatever it takes to make a buck off of her.

    A cautionary tale that children should never be the income for their parents.

  5. bns says:

    Maybe it’s because I grew up with her, but I love her so much. I can’t wait for the single and her body is amazing.

  6. Eleonor says:

    I think her body looks great: this woman has two children, probably is on godknows what medications and she looks good. I didn’t see the reason to photoshop her.
    And I thought that Miley songs were like low budget Britney…

  7. alidorival says:

    Imo I think she is trying. We no longer see a hot mess pink wig Brit Brit(thank God!)… But a woman who wanna show the world she still got it. Photoshop fail but I aint seeing dead eyes anymore

    I do love her catchy tunes and nasal voice! *ducks*

  8. Jackson says:

    Is that her in the blue bikini??? No, right?? That does not look like her face at all – to me, anyway.
    I hate the feeling I have that “Work Bitch” is missing a coma, as in “Work, Bitch.” I hope she is the one who wants to be out there again and it’s not someone else pushing her to start up again.

  9. searching4grace says:

    She looks amazing. It feels like the title is more a statement about her life. Work, b!tch! No rest for the weary.

  10. teehee says:

    SO
    MUCH
    PHOTOSHOP

    As in, the cartoonie blurred colors and glossy edges crap….the turning 3d into 2d because its so shopped look… jesus what will this be doing to childrens’ minds who see this and actually take it seriously? (not just this cover but the concept in general)

  11. Alexandra says:

    Wellll…..that first pic makes her body look manly – what’s up with her torso (and legs?!); she has a much better body than me so no stones – but the photo-shopping looks like crap and the natural pose of her in the bikini is from an incredibly bad angle….

  12. Ellecommelejour says:

    I just don’t understand how people around her get paid so much and keep on making so much crap! This is sooooo effing ugly!

  13. bigorexia says:

    Looooove her! F–k the haters!

  14. gg says:

    So tired of everybody saying “bitch” all the time. It’s negative, tacky and cheap. Nobody cares about class anymore. Even as they get older, they still act and talk like they’re 17 and don’t know any better.

  15. Delfin says:

    If you look closely at the pic you will see the front is a mesh cover… Its a Blonds 2014 outfit look it up you will see it on the model the chest looks like that due to the mesh is almost see through but them is not….

    • mrspatrickbateman says:

      I can see the mesh, that isn’t what bothers me though. It’s looking at her shoulder to hip ratio, she looks like a linebacker. Her torso is giant compared to the rest of her and he boobs look non existent.

  16. Adrien says:

    I thought Wonk B**ch is Paris Hilton’s latest album title.

  17. mrspatrickbateman says:

    What happened to her torso?! It looks horrible, how can you put that out?

    • Ben says:

      What people need to realise is that it’s a ‘revue like’ outfit, where her actually chest isn’t on show (there is skin coloured material flattening her chest out). You can even see the difference in colour just where her hair stops. I can’t believe people would think this is her actual chest…

  18. tealily says:

    Why did they photoshop out her boobs? She DOES have a great body… surely they can clean it up without doing THIS.

    Is it supposed to be “Work Bitch” or is it supposed to be “Work, Bitch?” What is a Work Bitch?

  19. Bread and Circuses says:

    Her face looks great, but they made everything below her collarbone look like the airbrushed image on an erotic pillow.

  21. MyLeNe - Montreal says:

    I Love Her .. She have the right to do what she want ! 🙂 It’s brit brit thing 🙂

  22. bella mama says:

    I don;t understand anyone who can not see that its obviously nude material like an ice skating costume and not photoshop

    • Just Me says:

      Because some people always have to say something ugly and comment sections on blogs are the perfect outlet.

  23. Lucybelle says:

    She looks so dead in the eyes to me. Poor girl.

  24. Jules says:

    I really don’t get it. Isn’t it 2013? Isn’t this chick one crazy hot mess who can’t really SING?!?! Why does everyone love her so much? Just don’t see it.

    • kim says:

      There are so many ppl out there who can’t sing or have any talent; yet are famous. Britney is just likeable. Youtube her entire career or all the documentaries…there’s just something about her that you root for.

  25. MAC says:

    She reminds me of Judy Garland. The mental , suffering, sadness stuff. I hope somewhere at some point she is happy.

  26. d says:

    Ah, Britney. I really hope everything works out for her because there’s something very heartbreaking about her and her life. I really really really hope that she has true friends that don’t take advantage of her. And no matter what, she’s always going to be a better person than Justin Timberlake. Always.
    The rear view of that photo (e.g., the mirrored image) is what looks weird to me. Her expression, otherwise, just says it all. I thought Work B**** said it too, like it’s a comment on her job and the way she works and is worked, she’s a work b****.
    Man, I wish her well.

  27. Pandy says:

    This Bitch wants that outfit to wear to Work.

  28. E-v-E says:

    well, the cover pic was going for something sensual, but turned out more like ‘whatevs, I’m wasted and I fooking luuuv feathers’. But I actually like the tweeted one cause you can see she’s dead-eyes no more, looks like actually enjoying herself, and even though I can’t listen to her crap music anymore (I liked teen-pop better), I’m rooting for her.

  29. Jennifer12 says:

    I like the shorter hair in the first photo, but the second photo is not a flattering angle.

  30. robert says:

    I agree in part about the cover art. It seems more like a young girl playing dress up. Her face and chin appear huge. Bad image to showcase. Even worse for cover art.

  31. mytbean says:

    “Dorito-farting through feathers” lol!!

  32. Shoe_Lover says:

    I will always love Britney. Girl is an Icon

  33. Lauraq says:

    I don’t like her and I don’t feel sorry for her, but she looks great.
