Unpopular Opinions - 2020 Edition

[none]

This type of post comes around once a year or so, so why not? I'll start with the first one which I don't think I've said it before

 

I'm Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman's music video sucks. The scenery is amazing but for me, there seems to be a disconnection between her delivery and the song's meaning. It looked more like "look at my awesome abs while I'm standing on a cliff", I think it could have been done such much better.

[Roxxy]

Aww. That makes me sad. I loved the video. 

Okay, here's mine. The album version of Boys is better than the Co-Ed Remix featuring Pharrell Williams. I think the remix betrays the sultry and **** aspects of the original which was meant to be Janet-esque vibes. The original also goes very well with the sound of I'm a Slave 4 U (both produced by the Neptunes) and is a good continuation with the sound she started the album with. The remix sounds sooo limp and it just became a try hard hip-hop sounding pop song when she could've just stayed with the original as it was so easy breezy for Britney to pull off sultry than hip-hop at the time. I'll admit I still bopped to it in 2002 but I remember being sooo disappointed with the sound of the remix cause I'm a **** and I live for the sound of Slave and Boys (original). I mean, I don't hate the remix. It's okay. But I just like the original version better. I'm still okay that it happened though, because at the time it kinda showed Britney as "cool" having one half of the Neptunes as a featured artist in her song. And as she once said "it's about just being cool" and I agree.

Maybe not too unpopular but quite a bit:
 

1. I don't consider anyone who ranks BJ over Britney's other albums a real Britney fan. (And I've seen it happen here, why anyone would prefer Myah over Britney is beyond me.)

2. As much as I love BOM I don't think it would've done well in 2004 as a single

3. In The Zone (apart from 4 standout tracks) isn't that great. I prefer albums that are not as highly rated on here like OIDIA, Britney & BOMT. It's still miles better than BJ though

I love anyone who respects and adores the first and original trinity. ❤

Most of Glory is not good except for the two singles and change your mind, the rest is just repetitive and boring.

Some fans have taken the free britney movement too far they look insane and unhelpful.

[HardToForgetYa]

I don't know if these are unpopular or not but

1) Me against the music solo >>>>> feat. Madonna!

2) Scary should have replaced Big Fat Bass on the FF album

3) I find Slumber Party pretty boring, the video made me appreciate the song a bit more but the song is just not the same with Tinashe, pointless duet tbh

4) Boys album version >>>>> Remix

5) Overprotected Remix >>>>> album version etc...

My unpopular opinion is that while Blackout is a good strong album - it’s overrated by her fans. There are tracks I like but ITZ is a much better album overall. 
 

Mood Ring is overrated

I like Blackout, however, I NEVER listen to it. I have a few songs that will come up in a playlist, but for the most part, that is the album I skip. I DO appreciate it and think it helped change music at the time. I just don't get into it as much.

Britney was partially involved for her breakdown. She always invited Paparazzi before 2007. Why wouldn't they not follow her during her worst times?

[thelegendney]

Probably unpopular but:

Circus the album is super underrated imo

Man on The Moon is the best song off Glory

Femme Fatale is one of her best albums despite the era

Toxic is overrated/overplayed & is not her best song like people make it out to be  

 

[ILikeChillinWithYou]

Womanizer video > Toxic video 

Idc whatever y'all say but Britney fullu naked in a steamy sauna > Britney almost naked with diamonds

[SpaceFunk]

She used to be the most beautiful woman that ever existed. She still has a banging body but her face looks like hell. I'm not trying to be mean. It's actually really sad and we'll never know how she fell the eff off like that. 

[Marcanthony]

I think this moment was planned by Team B where a paparazzi had a breakdown and everyone knew it except Britney. You can see the bald manager smiling and the one shot before Brit gets of the car includes the green t shirt guy and it's the same dude who has the breakdown. And also everyone else from paparazzi is wearing B&W but he's wearing a very distinctive color.

 

Also does anyone have paparazzi photos from this incident?

 

And surprisingly there were absolutely no paparazzis in the next scene when she gets out of the building(but there were people, who im assuming knew)

 

[jor to tha deezy]

"Pretty Girls" is Britney's best music video from the 2010's and xenophobia toward Iggy is to blame for why most of you dislike it.

[rawbrit]

What You Need would have been an amazing single

[Nickey]

I don't hate FF but it's been a long time since  last listen 

I like the In The Zone era and stuff but I skip some songs on the album, I prefer the original first trinity 

I think Glory could have less songs, I mean the chipmunk ones were not really neccessary

I always thought this, it sounds so conspiracy like but it just makes sense with that logic. Hollywood is all fake and staged so why would this be any different? Like Britney said in chaotic, it’s all about how you play the game.

u know what

u should listen to the onyx hotel version of boys

in my opinion its the best remix bc its a mixture of boys album version and still has the cool beats from boys co ed remix

i love when it goes from the boys co ed remix right into the part of the album version "Tonight, let's fly, boy have no fear (have no fear)
There's no time to lose (What are you waiting for?)
And next week, you may not see me here
So, boy, just make your move (let me see what you can do"

ugh SO GOOD 

i love onyx hotel
