Super Mods Popular Post Slayer Posted April 8, 2021 Super Mods Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 JUSTICE FOR ANTICIPATING 5. Britney Spears - Anticipating While the bump and grind raunch of "I'm a Slave 4 U" and "Boys" were the pillars of Spears' 2001 LP Britney, betwixt the heavy breathing club hits she leaned into lighter disco-pop with the effervescent (and Rick Astley-reminiscent) "Anticipating." Britney explored themes of ***ual maturity, and was more overt about coming of age on the album's "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" ballad -- but with lascivious lyrics ("my body's taking over and I want some more") couched in strings as light as cherry-flavored lip gloss, "Anticipating" actually embodied the sense of being old and young, inexperienced and a slave 4 u, all at the same time. -- K.B.

Frankie8 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Idk if I would have picked Anticipating when other jams are on the album like Cinderella. I Run Away and Before the Goodbye are superior but they aren't on the tracklist. But I'm all for the Britney album getting some love lately. 9 Quote Link to comment
Peter Pan Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I love Anticipating so I’m not mad (even when I prefer Cinderella, I Run Away and Lonely) 5 Quote Link to comment

PickleSpears Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Awesome, love the random love for her deep cuts like when Rolling Stone praised How I Roll. IMO there are better deep cuts from the Britney album though - Lonely, Cinderella, That's Where You Take Me. But Anticipating is very cute and fun! 2 2 Quote Link to comment
I'mNotTheAverageLady Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I agree with y'all - there are other great or even greater deep cuts on the album, but they can't include every non-single off Britney. Although that would be preferable lol But it's true, justice for I Run Away too!! Quote Link to comment
Isla Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'm still so pissed it came last in the megarate, it's always been one of my faves from this album!! It's so feelgood and I love the disco influences. It would have made a good single (okay I know it got released in France but I mean worldwide with a proper music video etc.). 8 1 Quote Link to comment

Omg I had no idea it came last I'm disappointed, exhale I agree it could have been a big hit, the last one for the children. I would have loved a mv with a cute choreo 1 Quote Link to comment

Look But Don't Touch Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I mean from all of 2001 Britney songs they chose this? Umm Quote Link to comment
Unusualyoufrench Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Anticipating is a masterpiece i remember recording the song on cassettes when french radios were broadcasting it, the single was good with the métro remix of Not a girl (that was also braodcasted on my local radio station) 2 Quote Link to comment
Avatar Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Anticipating would have charted higher than every other single on that album (in the United States) You guys are always reaching with Cinderella, thats one the fan faves that was going to flop no matter what..like Slumber Party 2 3 Quote Link to comment

It had the potential to be an iconic videoclip like everything she did back then. Maybe it wouldn't have impacted the US because of the radio ban anyways, but internationally it would've done great. However, I still prefer Bombastic Love and Lonely 2 1 Quote Únete a Exhale Latino /// Vote at Exhale's Top 20 Week 37 here Link to comment
