  2. Today Billboard released a Ranking: „The 100 Greatest Songs of 2004“ and placed „Toxic“ at #1! 1. Britney Spears, "Toxic" The addictive love that Britney Spears describes in “Toxic” could easily translate to the habit-forming song itself. “There’s no escape, I can’t wait/ I need a hit, baby, give me it”: To hear “Toxic” once is to need to hear it again — immediately. Is it the high-pitched strings from Bloodshy & Avant? Or the venomous lyrics from the Swedish production duo alongside Cathy Dennis and Henrik Jonback? Or maybe the cheeky superspy-spoofing music video? (It’s impossible to hear this song without immediately picturing Spears in a futuristic blue flight-attendant uniform.) Whatever it is, the In the Zone earworm infected everyone within its reach, as it topped Billboard’s Pop Airplay and Dance Club Songs charts (as well as our staff’s own Best Britney Spears Songs list). It earned Spears her first, and so far only, Grammy (for best dance recording). And even Jay-Z chose it as his favorite Britney song in a random 2013 Twitter Q&A (“jamming my G”). The song’s most enduring legacy, though, might be its whiplash-inducing range of covers, from Local H’s rocker, to The Chapin Sisters’ folk version, to Mark Ronson’s ODB-featuring hip-hop spin, to, naturally, a cappella takes from both the Pitch Perfect franchise and Glee (twice). What all the above endorsements add up to is that “Toxic” has seemingly become Spears’ most universally beloved song, using her already-established superpowers (the unmistakable breathy vocals, her magnetic onscreen presence and flawless choreography) and adding an electronic pop sound that put a legend who could have been forever linked to the ’90s instead at the forefront of top 40’s new frontier. The results were anything but toxic, but they were still definitely lethal. – K.A.

  3. We do. I brought the song up in a thread a few days ago and the discourse was positive. Gorgeous vocals and a beautiful visual

  4. @Crayboythank you for this thread!It makes me sad to know it won't get as many pages of comments as the other one, but think these type of posts need to be more frequent here. Britney, take as much time as you need away from this poisonous, entertainment business. Spring is here and while there may be hurdles on the horizon for you to face, I know you'll do so with the utmost strength so many of your fans admire you for 🌹

  5. That's kinds it. I feel like she's been getting quite s bit of hate and stuff for her dancing lately, with people like musty Elon commenting as well. We know she lurks here, so let's say something positive, and encourage her to maybe come back. I do hope she eventually gets singing lessons and stops smoking.. she has so much potential, as an artist. **** her family. She doesn't need them. She needs good friends. But I'd also like to see her comeback because she wanted to advocate for those in conservatorships with really bad illnesses. I'd like to see her follow up on that This is actually one of my favourite looks from her.

  6. It doesn’t seem acceptable in the Britney community to question anything she does. But the content she chooses to put out just seems meaningless cheap and raunchy. I used to think being a fan meant admiring someone but here it just seems like blind allegiance. Isn’t it ok to be a fan AND have expectations?

  7. I always disliked that second photo. The boys had just refused to allow Britney to post their photo and then this one showed up. The guy in the middle posted it together with another photo of the Federlines' living room with the guys (not the boys) sitting around the coffee table with a COOKIES plate and w.e.e.d. COOKIES was Kevin's distribution company. Jayden was wearing a COOKIES shirt in an older photo with Britney and Preston. Teenager Jayden is smiling in that shirt. Total disrespect towards his mother to advertise w.e.e.d while his grandfather accused her of dr*g use. Let's hope, one day, the boys will be more mature and finally come to their senses.

  9. I've seen multiple posts now about other women "ending" Britney's career. Britney's career never ended. She was the trailblazer after Madonna and Janet for all of these other women in music. Britney is still here.

  12. Britney, girlie...Keep shining and keep being the light that you are! This world is utterly broken and the world loves to destroy what they don't understand. They don't understand how you are still standing, they don't understand your resiliency...But your true fans do and we love you for the person that you are and the person that you have become. We support you in everything you do and decide to do. We value you for who you. Your true fans will never expect of you that what you don't want to do. Continue being you <3 we love you so much and we are super proud of you!!!!

  13. There is so much other stuff she could be posting. She says she’s a “chef in the works” - it would be cute to see her cooking or baking. Her old workout videos used to be cute. When she used to paint, it was adorable. Now, all her content is the same. She keeps dancing while wearing low bottoms that she keeps lowering. It’s giving off trashy and D-list vibes (sorry but it’s true). It’s sad that she might think this is the best she can offer right now.

  15. agreed. if they never appeared on TV I would have said leave them alone, but they decided to go public and be 'famous' so be it. also, one is 18 other is 17. Britney was 16 when she started and no one cared if she was a kid or not.

  16. Britney, Your art has helped me my whole life get through high school and my disaster of a life. Even in my darkest times your music gave me the vigor, strength and hope that things could get better. I recently completed a 8 month substance and mental health treatment stay and it was difficult but reading your book and listening to your music I found the will to push forward. That’s a gift I could never repay. Nothing but love and respect ❤️

  17. The tone of this thread is exactly what I expected 💀 That CyberTruck is symbolic of Katy Perry, thinks it's doing something whilst simultaneously doing absolutely not one single thing.

  18. That’s wrong. Cowboy Carter by Beyince is the best song of 2004!

  19. Im not surprised. Katy is an awful human being. Remember the story that was on here about her taking an old man's house and not caring if he's homeless? She also made fun of Britney so many times and even called Mariah Carey a throwback but she's more relevant than Katy even if its only for Christmas cause Mariah is a LEGEND!

  22. Defending what? I don’t know why you all say things like “I can’t defend her anymore” defend what though? Shes not some problematic artist who keeps getting into trouble for saying offensive stuff. She struggles with her mental health, obviously. So do I. If someone’s speaking about that in bad faith I have nothing to say to them anyway.

  25. I would take any new Britney I can get. I think she should make that bluesy album she wanted to make. Maybe some short EPs like how Robin and Christina have done previously.

  26. I get what you mean but at the same time, how is criticizing going to help? Its not gonna change anything. Britney will still act the way she does on IG. I just wish she'd switch up instead of always posting the same type of content.

  28. The beavis and butt head gonna leech off of their mom just like their dead beat dad. Thats all they know how to do. I really hope she will cut them off though. But she is a softy. Btw they look really high on the second picture. Federf.uck needs to get arrested for this and more.

  29. If you had a family member with mental illness would you just applaud their behavior? It’s ok to speak honestly about a situation without being cruel. I don’t think pretending something is ok makes it ok.

  30. Unfortunately, it is what it is. Who would have thought it would come down to this where lowering her pants is what she has to offer to the world? She’s so much more than that, but maybe she doesn’t see it.

  31. I agree with you. My intention isn’t to criticize, I just feel as people in the Britney community we aren’t doing her any favors by pretending her posts are anything to be applauded.
