I don’t understand music these days. Is it thoroughly IMPOSSIBLE for an artist to come up with *original* and *new* material? Britney Spears has got to be the most artificial singer around, and I’m not just talking about her “assets”. Britney as an “artist” is a manufactured Barbie-like rip-off. Anyone who’s old enough to have lived through periods where *real* music existed (until approximately 1993) will agree that Britney is an almost carbon-copy imitation of Debbie Gibson. But I suppose it doesn’t matter anyway. Most Britney fans are probably too young to remember her.As for the songs on this album, they all sound familiar and overly-produced. like amazon.com’s review stated, the chorus in “Oops I Did It Again” sounds like a complete Streisand/Barry Gibb rip-off. Any one of the ballads on the album could be mistaken for those of the likes of, well, anyone. Originality? Where? And Britney’s remake of “Can’t Get No Satisfaction” will literally make you cover your ears and frantically reach for the “skip” button on the stereo. Mick, I’d sue.Britney may have a talent for mutilating classics to their pulp, but the talent of singing is still one she has NOT mastered. The irritating combo of a raspy voice, “baby”s and “uh uh” sounds are enough to give you a splitting headache..and I speak from experience. Someone get this girl some lessons..QUICK. Nowadays lots of critics keep saying music is dead. Well, they’re right. Britney has killed it.

I think the old saying, “If we do not learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it” applies very well to this type of music. History has shown us that these “artists” dry up as quickly as they came. Menudo, New Kids on the Block, Wham!, etc. These bands have a life expectancy of about 4 years, absolute max. And when they do collapse under their own weight, they look like jokes to even their fans – the same fans that, in the height of their reign, would have told you they were musical geniuses sent from the heavens above. Here’s a theory Einstein never came up with: Britney Spears = Tiffany + updated glossy production. The reason that similar artists like Madonna manages to keep their career going longer is because she was actually DARING. Madonna isn’t the holy grail of recorded music either but she DID raise the bar; she was one of the first popular icons to tell women and girls it was fine to be open about their sexuality, while contemporaries like Spears and Aguilera merely exploit their own.I believe strongly that anyone who does not write his or her own lyrics is not an “artist” or anything closely resembling it. I believe even more strongly that someone like this that covers a Stones song should be publicly hanged. Why do people like this? Honestly, why? Song after song after song is exactly the same – politically correct verse/chorus/verse/chorus ditties, generally about shallow relationships that only uninteresting, Noxzema-reeking teenagers could appreciate. What happened to the value of *surprise*? Doesn’t anyone like to be *challenged* every now and again? I will be forever amazed at the fact that someone could find some merit in something that was so obviously put out because they knew you would buy it. There are plenty bands out there that I don’t care for but I understand that people like them due to personal taste. I respect those bands as musicians because they’re writing their own music and put just a little bit of spirit behind it. But what is THIS? Did Banality become a genre of music suddenly? I don’t care how Spears tries to romanticize her career, she is a product existing only to move millions of units for greedy record execs and to sell “kewl” memorabilia. I apologize if this review was bitter; I was fine with her pushing her generic, easily disposable dung on America until she did an awful remake of a song that actually didn’t suck. If N’Sync covers “Tomorrow Never Knows”, I’m going on a shooting spree in a Gap.

I am a teenage girl, and I would like to say that britney spears insults me to the core.why is it insulting you ask? britney has said nothing in her limited lyrical content that hasn’t already been said multiple times before. she doesn’t curse. she doesn’t come off like a suicidal cutter. she’s parentally-friendly. what’s insulting about this album is all of the things that people have admitted to liking about it. they admit that it is “bubble gum” pop. they admit that britney lip syncs. they admit that 99% of her sucess is attributed to her image and a good studio producer, and yet none of this seems to bother them, because the music is “catchy.”this is not music.music is playing to a crowd outside when it’s raining. music can be performed with as much power acoustically as it can in a studio. music is someone living through something and writing it down and singing it with the pain of memory. music is not a bunch of guys in expensive suits sitting down to write a song that’s catchy enough for britney to dance to and make lots of money.and that’s the bottom line folks. your money.when you buy her CDs, you are saying that everything britney stands for is O.K. congratulations for becoming another mindless member of society. you have just sold out.

Yes, she did it again. She duplicated the sound of her first album almost to a tee. For that, she gets an A. But this album just further proves that she will not be around for long. She shows no growth and has the same teeny bop voice that she has always had. Her rendition of “Satisfaction” is a complete disgrace to the song and the Rolling Stones. Another flash in the pan, another teenage media-made pinup. Her best performance does not even come close to Christina Aguilera’s worst.

Brittany Spears is a bad role model for children all around the world. She sings through her nose and her songs are nauseating. Her clothes are inappropriate and are degrading to women around the world. She is a sex object. Oops!…I Did It Again is a song about her toying with a man. Children look up to pop stars and try to be like them. You see 4 year olds trying to “look like Brittany.” She should respect herself enough to dress nicely and be a good role model for children. Boys need to realize all women don’t look like Brittany and she doesn’t help stress this fact. I think Brittany should either start acting as a better role model because although children shouldn’t, they look up to Britanny because they don’t know any better.
