The hook up is catchy, but I hate the male voice on it, so I had to go with Showdown. Honestly I hate all male voices on her songs. 

Even Gimme More?

Showdown. It's a great track and one of my favourites from ITZ. I also loved the OHT performance. Armography at it's best.

I like The Hook Up and the OHT performance was also great but her voice at the bridge of the song.

Showdown is legit underrated. It's in gems category along with Blur, Unusual You, I Run Away, Early Mornin', Heaven on Earth, Scary, Mood Ring... I think people who only know Britney for her popular singles would be surprised with most of these. 

Flawless taste.

Two of my favortie ITZ tracks, but the way The Hook Up takes over my body and makes my hips move, it gets my vote. I love the S/E/X of Showdown, but the party-vibeon THU gets me everytime.

Impopular opinion but I think Unusual You terribly aged. The song has one of her weakest and most processed vocal performances ever

I love the vulnerability in the lyrics, and the bridge is such a moment for me. I understand the processed vocals point but then again her voice has been very processed since Blackout, in my opinion.

The hook up?? One of the weakest on the album, no!

Showdown.

Yes but her voice in unusual you is literally drowned in vocoder/backing vocal

This is what kills the song for me, though its beautiful

If she recorded it in Glory era the vocals would be better

Not crazy about any of these. I used to LOOOVE The Hook Up back in 2003 though. I guess i'm gonna vote THU but i accidently voted Showdown lol

[femmepop]

Had to go with Showdown !! Even though The Hook Up Bridge is 🔥🔥🔥

Aww thank you, and likewise if you appreciate these songs too! I love when Britney music gets a bit edgy. Some of her songs can be a bit shallow and just fun, but these have some sort of storytelling and a special vibe. I imagine music videos in my head when I hear them  Showdown had 6 years old me shocked. Her sound changed so drastically it was crazy.

Are we still getting a 20th anniversary edition of Britney? Can you do a new reading?
