Re-releases are really starting to piss me off! The last successful one was Shakira's. Yonka's bombed, Justin's bombed, Riri's will bomb, Fergie's will bomb and Chris's will probably bomb too... come on people! This is just getting stupid.
OH and Kelly Rowland's bombed so hard I forgot she even re-released! LOL!

LOL! i agree.
Chris brown and rihanna DONT need re-releases. Chris brown is on his, what, THIRD single? It's ridiculous. You should only have a re-release when it is absolutely necessary or there is a good reason, like in Britney's case. Rihanna and Chris Brown are just doing it for more sales.

Lol, sorry I don't think Britney should get an out to do a re-release. I hope she doesn't re-release Blackout, I'd rather have a new cd. I HATE re-releases...but I think its a little more okay in the cases of Pink and Justin when they also added dvd's with performances and music videos. If it was like that, I would buy it.

Exactly. I guess I could take Justin's out of the list though, cause I don't consider P!nk's a "real" re-release. lol Like it was a special edition, yes, but they have been releasing special editions for years and years. I only consider something a re-release if its promoted as one and has a full blown new single.

Don't see why Blackout couldn't have a re-release. If it was a re-release, we don't even know what else would be included. And why have a new album? That's what I don't get when people say she should just do a new album. Why waste a perfectly great pop album? It shouldn't go unnoticed and it deserves any success it has. The album shouldn't be ignored. and I would love the re-release especially to see if there would be a cool new cover

She should do a new album, because Blackout is associated with all of the problems that have been going on in her life. If she starts fresh, its a clean slate. Regardless of if its a great album or not, its always going to be put with Brit's troubles, and that's always going to keep it from being a big success.

I disagree. A rerelease when Britney is doing great - cleaned up act, sitcom performances, etc... will really help kickstart her career. She is the only person I could forgive for doing a rerelease.

Nope. As long as they come with good singles. And IMO Rihanna, Chris, and Fergie all have good singles to go with their re-releases. And I love it when an artist I love comes out with a re-release. Why not do it?? It makes up for some of the sales lost do to illegal downloading. Plus its a plus for fans unless its just remixes or something.. now thats cheap! lol If P!nk had released 5 singles and re-released her album with Heartbreaker or another single I doubt youd be annoyed. Oh and when have re-releases been that successful? Im sure theres been some but I doubt theres many that have done really well.. I dont think thats the point.. I think its to make up for lost sales, something extra for the fans, etc.

Yes, they do annoy me lately. If I have the original version of an album, I'll never buy a re-release. The only ones I do recall having are "J-Lo" and "The Emancipation of Mimi", which I didn't buy until long after they were re-released.

I agree there.. it is annoying that you spend your money on an album and then another version comes out with a single you like. One example for me was when Mary J re-released No More Drama. I was annoyed that I bought it and then she re-released it so quickly after and the new single (Rainy Dayz) was something I loved.. I refused to buy it and then I gave it away to my best friend. lol

Okay.. I don't hate EVERY re-release. Its just most. Like if your era gets off to a bad start or shit happened, I can understand it. Like I could understand Britney re-releasing or if Pink had re-released. Not cause I'm a fan, but it just makes sense. People like Rihanna who have several potential singles left or people like Fergie who have NO NEED to re-release, don't need to be re-releasing. its just pointless, stupid and annoying. So for the most part, I don't like re-releases. I think its a good thing is some cases, but not most.

I see your point. I still think if P!nk was successful from the beginning and we would have gotten the International singles (4-5) I dont think you OR I would have minded her re-releasing and say put out Heartbreaker!

But thats the thing..Heartbreaker is actually GOOD! lol I don't think she would have needed a re-release though had she done the singles right. Like Rihanna had atleat 4 better choices on her album.

I also don't really count Justin's as a re-release. I think it was definitely for the fans, lol most people didn't even know it was coming out.

Exactly. Thats how I feel Pink's was. I don't consider it a re-release really cause it really was just for the fans.

They're annoying when they aren't necessary.
Rihanna's was unnecessary, Chris's is unnecessary his album was doing fine and he only put out two or three singles from the original.
I don't think Mariah's was ridiculous because it came with a DVD of all the videos, and it had a #1 lead single from it.
