Britney Spears and Mary J. Blige are on
board for a Sept. 4 free concert at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to
kick off the 2003 National Football League season, Billboard.com has learned.
Organizers are eyeing additional acts for the event, including Kid Rock and
Aerosmith. The show will precede the first NFL game of the year later that

Britney Gives Her New Music A Test Run
Who needs focus groups when you've got
New York City's bump-and-grind crowd? On a recent night Britney Spears slipped
into Manhattan nightspot Show with her bodyguard and a friend to conduct her
own marketing research. Spears gave the deejay and advance CD of her new
album, due this fall, asking him to play the second and ninth tracks. She
retreated to a raised VIP area to gauge the crowd's reaction and drink a Red
Bull (the pop princess told a club insider that she swears off alcohol when
she's recording). The same source tells me the two untitled songs were 'very
cutting-edge with a lot of bass that made you want to move.' Satisfied with
the response, Spears left after 25 minutes, holding the CD aloft in a victory
pose as she exited.
