Punctuation clarification

  • March 31, 2011
  • Popjustice

This is a poster for the Britney album, round the corner from Popjustice HQ and maybe similar to one round the corner from You HQ too. 

We would like to make it clear that we did not call this album 'BRILLIANT!', merely 'brilliant'.

With most artists we wouldn't make this dis­tinc­tion but where Queen Of The Pop Ellipsis Britney Spears is concerned we think total trans­par­ency is extremely important. 

Someone whose opinion on popular song we usually trust tried, last week, to tell us that 'Femme Fatale' was awful. They were quite con­vin­cing for a moment. Then we listened to the album again a day or so later and it turned out that the album was, in fact, still brilliant.
