baddditude's Full Review: Oops!... I Did It Again by Britney Spears
Take this opinion with a grain of salt (as you should all opinions) because this reviewer is way too old for the teen crazes du jour. I review this as the mother of daughters who listen to Britney, and who are of "impressionable" ages.
There is one mystery I would like to get to the bottom regarding this CD -- what's the deal with that noise she makes with her throat? She does it a lot in the title track. Did she have a cold? Was she turning into a frog? Listen and hear what I mean.
When my daughters play Radio Commando in my van and hijack the dial from "my" music, Britney invariably torments me through my own speakers in my own van that my husband and I paid for. The girls can only keep it tuned there if I get to croak along, making hairball-clearing sounds through the whole annoying "song." I do this in tribute to Britney and her vocal stylings.
They also may only keep it tuned in if I "talk to Britney." "Less makeup; more clothes, Brit" I rant in tribute to Church Lady. Really, though, how are we moms supposed to do our jobs in raising self-respecting non-sluts with the half-naked image of Britney to thwart our efforts. She's like the devil sitting on their other shoulder saying, "Be like me. The boys will LOVE you . . ." And my angel on the other shoulder has to rebut with, ". . . Yeah -- for about 15 minutes."
So I give in to my 10-year-old's birthday plea for the new Britney CD. YOU look into her big green eyes and tell her, "No way -- the girl is a talentless ho!" So the whole awful disc gets played in my home.
The CD is a wreck. It is purely a money-generating scheme for Britney, Inc. The low-light is a cover of (ROCK 'N ROLLERS, DON'T READ THIS NEXT LINE!) the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction." To those who had the guts to keep reading, it is as truly horrendous as it threatens to be.
Kids -- buy this if you must. Britney will thank you as she luxuriates in her mass purchases of stuff you'll never afford. Hey -- we, too, once tossed our little green rectangles carelessly about in pagan homage to such pre-Britneys as the Cassidy brothers, Bobby Sherman, Bay City Rollers. I know, I know, kids. You say, "Who?" That is just what your own kids will someday say about Britney. And, please God, let it be soon.
Where I have to respond "Compare it to artist's discography," my response indicates "Least favorite of all albums" EVERYWHERE, OF ALL TIME, BY ALL ARTISTS.
