Yes I like her old voice best as well so that why I really like the first two best. The difference in voice from oops to Britney was dramatic. Then I also like the Urban/dark/club vibes of ITZ and Blackout. 

Yeah I would say her voice started sounding really nasal and girly with the Oops album but it was taken to an extreme level with the Britney album.

I mean theres even memes about how she pronounces "me" as "may".

There are some really good songs that werent released that she sounded amazing in like

"Luv The Hurt Away". That song was so beautiful, it deserved to be on BOMT.

 

However I also do like the Urban sound of ITZ and Blackout.

I especially love the instrumentals from Blackout, they are so dark yet interesting.

I think the instrumentals really elevated the songs to a whole other level on that album.

HELL NO BABE :flop_britney_candies:

In commercial performance and chart terms yes, is definitely her weakest, mainly because she was banned from radios, at the time.

If we're talking about personal taste well, i'm just going to say that i respect your opinion. :selenerz_selena_crying_tears_sad:

Not me in 2022 realizing I’ve been singing the wrong words to one of favorite Britney songs from 2003 :haha_britney_laugh_lol_lmao_hehe_haha_bw_black_white: I thought “shout it” was “shorty” as in yo shorty let me holla at you for a second :haha_britney_laugh_lol_lmao_hehe_haha_bw_black_white: I’ve been sing “shordddy” since 2003:haha_britney_laugh_lol_lmao_hehe_haha_bw_black_white: I kinda like it better my way hahaha

Oh i see you, lol.

As an european that doesn't talk native english i'm not goin to tell you how many time it took me to understand half of Britney's songs through the years...:gloria_falling_stairs_trip:

BNG is one of those songs that I did not like back in the day when I was a teenager because it sounded too cutesy or something...however it aged super well and now it's a top Britney track for me because of it's cheesy upbeat vibe. 

 

Exactly. :letitburn_elmo_fire_flames_burn:

Girl no. Shocked but not surprised that this is coming from your tasteless *** though. Maybe it’s time YOU and some of the other flops in this thread wake up and stop living in denial by pretending it’s good. :lessons_preaching_telling_hand_smack:

Always skipped this song. I like out there type songs, but the chorus was a different vibe than the verses. The verses had some attitude, the chorus is like a cheesy kids song.

Plus, as a guy I guess I can't relate to being a brave new girl and I definitely  wouldn't be blasting it 😂

Just skip the whole album straight to BNG (just once, lol) and your mood will remain intact! :letitburn_elmo_fire_flames_burn:

Lol don't get me wrong, I love songs like "BNG" "Anticipating" etc... And I'm dead serious, I grew up with those songs :yasqueen_yes_wow_crying_praise_tears_wipe_sad: It's just that Idk growing up my taste has changed I guess :yaknow_britney_xfactor_X_factor_talk_tell_chat_you_know: I don't hate them, but if I can avoid them, I do cause they're kinda "cheesy" for me :gimmemoar_britney_hat_more_gimme_giggle_haha_hehe_lol_2007_vmas_lmao: But of course I respect everyone's opinions :imcute_britney_ftr_for_the_record_hat_paris_french_smile_grin_happy: Except if you like "Chilling With Lou (feat. Jurassic Liar)" in that case, we can't be friends :queenflopga_walk_sass_pink:

It's just that most of the times, when I listen to the whole album I pretend it doesn't exists and skip the hell out of it

And go straight to Everytime? It's tough to go from Shadow to Everytime, there needs to be a palate cleanser in between. Brave New Girl doesn't totally gel in the sense of the entire album, but it does work as a transition between those two. Switching to vinyl and taking away the ability to skip songs I don't particularly care for has given me more of an appreciation for moments like that.

If you want to say it doesn't fit, I'd agree. But I can't bring myself to call it bad. Not when Soda Pop exists.

Well, exactly and that's why I said that it's not bad... Also I'm not a fan of Soda Pop but her vocals and AdLibs are great on that track imo :imcute_britney_ftr_for_the_record_hat_paris_french_smile_grin_happy:

I created a Spotify list of the whole album minus BNG so I don’t have keep skipping it, I put “Boys” in its place. Slave too, because those are the only songs on “Britney” that I like. So the list is like the songs from ITZ and Britney that I like without the ones I don’t. 

Ugh I love the album version of Boys :yasqueen_yes_wow_crying_praise_tears_wipe_sad: Production-wise I find it richer and much more interesting than the remix! :saycheese_make_me_mm_hat_smile_peace_sign_grin_glory_britney:
