Name One Britney Song That Could’ve Been “Good” With A Different Chorus

[DoYouDare?]

My song choice for this topic: 

“Private Show”

I think the song carries a soulful, sort of vintage essence in the production, which I find favorable for Britney’s overall sound. That said, I don’t believe the chorus was formulated well-enough, considering her voice is clearly not made for the higher notes. I would’ve much preferred a lower register, since she sounds more appealing in a deeper tone. Regardless, what’s done is done, & even though this song was promising in solid ways, the chorus ended up destroying it completely. 

 

Here’s the song, judge for yourself:

What is a Britney song you think could’ve been “good” with a different chorus?

Chillin' With You. The verses are okay actually, if the chorus was in a similar vain and had that acoustic/folk vibe the song could have been a lot better. The random trap beat drops in the chorus made the song a mess.

Private Show is horrendous no matter what.

BJ and Glory both lacked strong choruses. In the case of BJ, not even that could save the songs. Just such sloppy songwriting and half-assed productions all around.

With Glory, I think “Make Me”, “Clumsy”, “Love Me Down”, “Just Like Me”, “Just Luv Me”, and “Better” could have all benefitted a lot from stronger choruses.

With Femme Fatale, “TTWE” immediately comes to mind. Such a lazy, repetitive chorus.

That’s all I got off the top off my head. I do think the main problem with pop songs today in general is a lack of strong choruses.

Ugh, the chorus on that song was almost parody-like, very childish —& the beat drop didn’t help either. Although, the cherry on top were those deceptive vocals. I agree, simply atrocious.

Ugh, the ch. Completely ruined the vibe, but 

Oh not me relistening to the song, and it also being ruined by the "yeww" at the beginning too!

I guess I’ve chosen to see the bigger picture. For example, Britney’s voice could be powerful within her music, if she sang in her range —& a few more sessions could’ve helped ameliorate the production choices.

I agree, a lot of the Glory songs contained excessively repetitive phrases on the chorus —but you’re right, many pop songs do tend to incline more on repetitiveness over strong choruses, & that’s the reality.
 

You’ve made some great points.

That’s interesting, I find the chorus to be sort of unique. Was it the male voice that annoyed you, or the phrases?

The male voices, yeah
