Those Britney clips "in full"

So, from Adele, who has the voice of an angel, to Britney Spears, who has the voice of a Speak And Spell.

Following the epic (ie irritating) two-week teaser campaign for her new video, she's now releasing daily snippets of tracks from her forthcoming album, Femme Fatale. The first three go like this...


How I Roll


Inside Out


I Wanna Go



There's plenty to get excited about here: The whistling, the dubstep collywobbles, the galvanizing cry of "COME ON", the general aceness of Bloodshy & Avant's production on How I Roll.

But let's not be too hasty. If the album lasts 45 minutes then these 30 seconds represent just 1% of the total. Femme Fatale could be a work of genius, but there's still plenty of time for an I Love Rock'n'Roll, or a duet with Justin Bieber.

Even the tracks we've heard could go disastrously wrong. Would I Wanna Go sound as epic if it suddenly gained an extended spoken word section pulled from the pages Britney's diary? Anyone who remembers the "personal messages" she used to post on her website would know that the answer is "not really".
