Oops!...I Did It Again
If you haven't heard this song, you've
been living in a cave. Can I come join you? Just kidding. It's catchy,
yet irritating. Funky, yet annoying with the Titanic skit in the middle.
When this was on the radio all the time in May, I used to turn the volume
down and count to twenty so that I'd miss the Titanic skit.
Stronger
This song is really nothing without
the video. The vocals are weak and Britney looks a lot more powerful when
she's kicking around that chair than when she's just talking about power.
"I don't need nobody, not anybody" almost sounds like a cry for help.
Don't Go Knockin' On My Door
The first ten seconds of this song grate
on my nerves; Britney says "don't. go. knock my door" twice. It sounds
like she's talking through one of those voice effects things that they
used in Scream but they've turned the setting from "serial killer voice"
to "Lolita voice." The rest of the song is uneven and the synthesizers
are distracting. Someone actually wrote these lyrics? (I'm not digging
the interludes, either. Britney and her southern accent on the phone with
a girl and her even MORE prominent southern accent are totally unconvincing.
Someone actually gave her a movie deal?)
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
Who approved this? I mean... really.
If you're going to remake a song, make it at least as good as the original.
What's the point in this?
Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know
This is my favorite song from her album.
It'd be a little more believable if there were actual LIVE INSTRUMENTS
on this track, but apparently that's a foreign concept to Britney, so we'll
have to do with the Churko brothers and their "programming." *sigh*
What U See (Is What U Get)
This song is wonderfully catchy and
I wonder why she didn't choose this (instead of "Stronger") as her third
single. This works doubly well as a kiss-off to the reporters who critique
her (lack of) style and an anthem for girls with boyfriends telling them
how to dress. Been there!
Lucky
I could do without the spoken intro.
This song points out Britney's inability to enunciate. Apparently in Brit's
world, people go "knock knock knock on the doe". The "world is spinning,
and she keeps on winning, but tell me what happens when it stops" is the
only thing that keeps me from completely hating this song. (I hated the
video, too. All 65 TRL days of it.)
One Kiss From You
Britney should not try to do vocal improvisations.
Ever.
Where Are You Now
Britney should not sing slow songs.
Ever.
Nah... just kidding. This song is
very boring, not catchy in the least, and I wanted to press skip forward
very badly before the ending.
Can't Make You Love Me
I like this song a lot. It's traditional
Britney fare, but that's what she does best. This is the story of a girl
who's got money and fame and everything, but she's got a crush on a guy
and guess what... she can't make him love her. Been there too! (Without
the money and fame though.)
When Your Eyes Say It
There is more whispering in this song
than singing. I don't even know if it's really a song.
Dear Diary
The only "song" that Britney co-wrote.
I put song in quotation marks because, like the last track, I'm not really
sure that it IS a song. There's no chorus, no bridge, and no hook. I don't
like it at all. |
