Slaggis Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) I was listening to this earlier: and it hit me just how many genuinely great pop songs this woman has had. However little talent people seem to credit here with, she's undeniably been a musical force to reckon with over the past decade. I can't help but feel she has 'Girls Aloud' syndrome, in the sense that she comes out with some genuinely great pop music, but no one ever admits to actually appreciating some of it purely because it's at its core, Pop. Anyway. I rest my case. Oh, and Blackout is massively overlooked. "Heaven On Earth" is orgasmic on a decent pair of headphones. And "In The Zone" and an album is probably my favourite of the bunch.

Retro_Link Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Nick Grimshaw played a bit of original Britney the other night as part of the Top 1000 albums you should own or something... When you hear a montage of all her original songs they are pop classics. Definately takes you right back!
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I've never denied loving her music. I like pop, and she has had some amazing hits. The only thing I dislike about her is her choices in life.
Happenstance Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I've never denied loving her music. I like pop, and she has had some amazing hits. The only thing I dislike about her is her choices in life. I feel as ReZ has gone someone needs to take his place for the childish comments and mention that I misread that the first time.
Paj! Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I only know the big famous songs from the first albums (I have Oops I Did It Again from when it first came out, but least said about the album tracks on that, the better), but In The Zone and Blackout are great pop albums. In The Zone is my favourite. It felt less "producty". Like she might have had a hand in/enjoyed making it. I didn't think her last one was very good. Of course I find her credibility next to nil, but her name has been put to some entertaining pop songs.
Daft Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I also love Toxic. The bit in the video where she screams and the glass breaks makes me laugh so much. and it hit me just how many genuinely great pop songs this woman has had. However little talent people seem to credit here with, she's undeniably been a musical force to reckon with over the past decade. I can't help but feel she has 'Girls Aloud' syndrome, in the sense that she comes out with some genuinely great pop music, but no one ever admits to actually appreciating some of it purely because it's at its core, Pop. But she writes very little of her own songs, and of those she does she is usually the co-writer. She isn't especially good at singing, either. Britney Spears is a product, a brand. Although she is good pop you should probably more appreciate everyone around her.
mcj metroid Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Ya I don't think the quality of her music has ever been in question. I think gimme more is one of the catchiest songs
Pancake Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Break the Ice by her is an amazing track. So underrated, it's not even on her greatest hits! Crazy. But yeah she's an iconic pop star.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I feel as ReZ has gone someone needs to take his place for the childish comments and mention that I misread that the first time. I feel embarrassed that I can't figure out what you misread it as ...
chairdriver Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I've always loved, tbf. Overprotected is my fave.
Retro_Link Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 "and she has had some amazing tits"... enter Dante with relevant gif.
Beast Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I've always loved Britney Spears. I have all of her albums and love them all. Same with her songs but I love Overprotected, Stronger, Break the Ice and Out From Under. I also love Gimme More PURELY because of the first three seconds, haha.
Fierce_LiNk Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I was with my Dad in his car, listening to the radio, when I'm A Slave 4 U came on for the first time. Very uncomfortable moments for both of us, I imagine. Especially during the panting and "oooooaaaarrrrghhh" parts. Sounded hot as hell.
Ashley Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I was with my Dad in his car, listening to the radio, when I'm A Slave 4 U came on for the first time. I anticipated the next sentence saying "then I started singing along".
Frank Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) I'll admit to liking Britney Spears a little but I'd say most of this comes from pure nostalgia as I was fairly young when she was doing "Oops, I did it again" etc. She does have some quality songs but I just don't think she has that "Legend" status It's close...but just not quite there yet. Once she starts singing live and having a stronger input into herself and her music then she'll earn my respect. Like it was mentioned before, Britney Spears is a brand. It's a little strange though. I actually fairly like her 'real' personality and that break-down that she had was just so brilliant as it just went completely against every stereotype and image of her and of the fame lifestyle. She so plays up to the press though which was/is a little annoying. Edited October 1, 2010 by Frank
Diageo Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I used to love Britney Spears. I still like her now, even though my friends would find it embarrassing. I don't really care what anyone thinks. She is amazing. Loved Stronger and all her early songs. The one with Madonna. Everytime and Toxic were my favourites for years. Break the ice is really good too.
Beast Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 It's Britney, bitch! I love this song. It's been on replay all day long on my MP3. I would like to see the music video to this too, that'd be awesome. What do you guys think?
Paj! Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I thought it was shit, then it grew on me, but still not very good. (relative) Current trendy club beat + bad lyrics + Britney's magical selling power = hit.
Beast Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 When I first heard it, I thought "Really? Come on!" and then I heard it again and I liked it and I like it more and more as I hear the song. It does grow on you.
chairdriver Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 When I first heard it, I thought "Really? Come on!" and then I heard it again and I liked it and I like it more and more as I hear the song. It does grow on you. That's the same with any song (that isn't fundamentally bad). It's just people are willing to give Britney the time of day (for some strange reason). If you invested the same time in Bjork/Tori Amos/PJ Harvey/credible-artists-who-people-write-off-as-weird, you'd like them more and more.
Retro_Link Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Going with the current trend... It's Dubstep Bitch! I've heard this song quite a bit on my drives in to work, and as Paj said, didn't like it at first, but it does grow on you abit, it's ok. It does seem like a song for Esctasy market! :p
EEVILMURRAY Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 She was alright to begin with. Then got shit, as it seems the trend for emerging pop star girls to start stripping off as soon as it becomes legal. Sadly I must hate Toxic, main reason is because during college in the editing suite these girls would play it non-stop for two hours. Solid. Plus it reminded me of Catwoman from Batman Returns.
