Oops

It's just that radio likes p!nk and she has a very HAC image so her songs sell well. This is confirmed by her abysmal streaming.

Britney was untouchable during this time, she couldn't be bothered 

I do love this song though

In addition to what everyone else has said, it's just a song requiring really strong vocal abilities (sans Mya's verse) and barely requires dancing abilities; therefore, it just really doesn't highlight Britney's particular strengths. First I also agreed Britney could've easily done Mya's part; however, after watching the video again it's clear the entirety of Mya's role was the least significant within the song, and since Britney was the #1 pop star there's no way she would've been delegated to the most insignificant amongst four other artists. Also, I remember watching a documentary where they said Christina was specifically chosen because her voice was the only one around that could hit the climax of the song; hence, she would intrinsically be the most featured role on the song, which also wouldn't have made sense if Britney were a part of it. 

Even though the MV is quite trashy, I think it's a fantastic rendition of the song and definitely deserved the Grammy. With that said, however, everything Britney was doing at the same time was far more talked about, and I wouldn't really wish for her early eras to have been any different

Britney was better than that song tbh.

You do realize it won a Grammy and is a huge classic right?

PINK'S SONGS ARE CHARTING BETTER THAN BRITNEY'S THOUGH

if you are a basic hoe with one basic song, of course you would chart better than the rest

I know that, i meant that Britney was better than that song in that she didn't need that song to have a hit.

None of the other girls didn't either... They all were very successful during the early 00s

So did Toxic and it was an original that only required one artist

True, but Xtina's career has flopped in recent years and the song is technically Lil Kim and Mya's biggest hit... Britney did better imo

Lil Kim is a Rapper who never crossed over she stayed in her lane unlike the female rappers of today!

Also Mya is R&B and never really made it to mainstream so of course it's her and Kim biggest hit .... however they had success before Pink and Xtina!

Very few R&B artists and rappers have crossover appeal.... Beyoncé and Mariah may be the only R&B artists of today besides The Weeknd that has crossover appeal!

And back then if you wasn't Whitney, MC, Toni Braxton, TLC or Janet your music wasn't crossing over!

[troubleguy]

its classic, i love the way it is

Yeah that is true! I'd also add Michael Jackson to this list. Maybe Rihanna as well.

Because Britney was, is and always will be above every artist out there, she's just way more talented than everyone else and her music is also better than any other song ever created. 

Plus she's classy

She could have gotten a Grammy for it and having her and Xtina on the same song would have made it even more ICONIC!

However Xtina has a huge ego and I don't think she would have been able to handle Britney getting all the attention.... As we seen how she shaded Britney and Beyoncé after the 03 VMAs

What did she say about Bey?

i also think Brit was just ending Oops era and beginning Britney era. She had no time for that foolery
