BOMT is probably the bigger song, but Oops! for the rest.

BOMT simply because the bridge is better... The OOPS talking part always annoyed me a little and I feel it takes away from the song. Oops has the better choreo tho

I totally agree 

BOMT  wow what can i say ? Britney's  first song ,iconic and a classic but oops hits different , at least for me.

[GirlOnTheMoon]

BOMT is the bigger song and the better music video but OIDIA is the better song hands down in my opinion.

Man this is SO hard especially considering I discovered Britney through them.

But if I look at it objectively without emotions or attachment, I'd say:

Better song - Oops

Better video - BOMT

Better single cover - Oops

Im NOT saying BOMT isnt a good song but the production on Oops is more polished and clear however

Oops'  flaw is that its DATED as hell while BOMT is still fresh to listen to.

But yeah they are both so good

Bomt is my favorite song ever. Just fills me with happiness and nostalgia. 

 

I love both videos but I do think the oops video and choreo are more iconic. I also personally love the bridge of oops with the titanic nod and "awe you shouldn't have" 😅

The bridge for bomt is better to me though. Love how it builds up and then just explodes into a chorus of people singing. I'm also obsessed with that weird faint whistle sound right before the "I must confess!" At the end of the bridge. It all just sounds so good!

This. Love BOMT but Oops just has a slight edge for the rest of the categories.

Baby is the better song. Oops is better visually

I understand BOMT is globally a bigger song, it sold more, #1 in every country, more views on YT 

BUT 

I voted for Oops because I think in my country it was even bigger than BOMT.

When I was discovering Britney's discography (and slowly becoming a stan) a few years ago, I recognized Oops at the first listen while I didn't BOMT. That means I must've heard Oops many times on the radio as a kid or somewhere and BOMT never I guess? Like it just didn't sound familiar while I knew how's Oops chorus was gonna sound even before the chorus. At my "first" listen.

And also, Oops has more streams on Spotify

 

So I chose Oops in every category

 

[Avenger]

Well, hands down BOMT is the bigger song probably one of the biggest debut singles of all times but oops is much better and hasn't aged a single day. 

[Style. In Moscow]

The way my taste voted for Baby on all the categories, I just love that for me! 

[Matou]

Oops is a copy of BOMT and both are iconic

[Mr. Cavill]

Both songs are THE Britney classics and you can't go wrong with either but I personally enjoy Oops a bit more:

1) the C# at the end

2) the vocal layering in the last chorus - > *******ic

3) Space theme

4) VMA performance

5) the pop rock remix from DWAD

6) the pop choir-like vocals reminiscent of the early 00s (Britney/Backstreet Boys/NSYNC) 

7) It's a bit more uptempo than Baby

As a debut, BOMT is amazing, but on all other fronts, Oops was better. I still get chills when I hear it.
