I haven't gotten to hear much of her new stuff, but from the ones I have heard, I guess I'm in the "few to none" category. I don't love it, don't hate it; it's alright, but it's unlikely any of the songs would make a list of my favourites. She has a good voice and some of the songs seem like they could be catchy (I've only heard a few once or twice), but it just doesn't do a lot for me. I can enjoy her music, but I wouldn't call myself much of a huge fan or anything.

I think one of the newer songs from her I've liked was called "Radar?" That one is probably the one of heard the most. Other than that...there's some raunchy kind of sounding one my sister loves to sing the chorus to in the car. I have no idea what it's called though, but it's, um, interesting.

As for her personal life? I detest cleb gossip and avoid it like the plague. I'm mostly ignorant of the whole fiasco and I like it that way. =)

Aegis December 6th, 2008 11:38 PM

I was a fan of her back when she was first popular, when I was in kindergarten XD; I sorta forgot about her until not too long ago, and now I'm a total fanatic (b'')b I love her most recent work, especially Kill the Lights |D

But yeah, to be honest, there were a few years where I totally forgot about her. But she's awesome <3

Pachireecko December 7th, 2008 1:16 AM

She's got some really good songs! I loved her on the X factor!

Rogue planet December 7th, 2008 2:07 AM

She represents everything that is wrong with the female celebrity image. She has talent as a singer but that's about as far as it goes.

Gummy December 7th, 2008 8:50 AM

Britney was ever prepubescent boys dream, but there was a time when she fell off her pedestal and didn't get back up. But I have to admit that is making a comeback, as I am loving her Piece of Me song.

Angela December 7th, 2008 8:53 AM

I really like her:D, I like her newer music more then her early work:D, and I'm a big fan of hers:D, go Britney!!!

SethCullen December 7th, 2008 8:58 AM

As a little obbsesser when i was like five i still love her. Yes Radar is amazing, Womanizer is also good but lately i fell in love with Break the ice. That Britney For the record was a amazing documentery she wanted. She knew her old fans were gonna be won back. :) But in the documentery i was still wanting more. There was no Chris Crocker. :(

Thomas December 7th, 2008 9:39 AM

I think Britney is great, and her music is great. She went through a tough personal battle with her husband and the rest of her family, and the media didn't help (I think we know her views on the media now considering her songs "Piece of Me", "Kill The Lights", and her documentary on MTV "For The Record").

I think Circus has brought her back in the limelight, in a good way.

Belinda December 7th, 2008 9:44 AM

Well,Britney is one of of the greatest singers of our time,I've been a fan since I was like 7 or 8 years old,I love all her music it's great in every way,I don't know why people see her as a bad person,but she's not she is an average person like everyone of us. I'll support with everything she goes through,hope things become better for her as it wasn't great in the past,but look forward to the future Britney. Hope her music becomes more and more cooler through out the future. I am currently obsessed with her new song "Kill The Lights".

Unforgettable December 7th, 2008 10:27 AM

Circus is one of the best albums I have ever heard.
She is truly the queen of pop. She could do anything, and put out anything, and it would still be loved. I hope to get to see her when she's on tour.

Confuse December 7th, 2008 10:53 AM

For me, she's a big tree drivers keep crashing into on the road of music, but don't do anything about it.

I'm one of the people who'll stop and stare at the tree, before resuming walking past it on the sidewalk off to its side.

Wrong, Britney is one of the WORST singers...she is one the best PERFORMERS....if we are just talking about vocal ability, then she would definitely be at the bottom of the list. But she can DANCE! lol

So my question is simple: What are your views on the Pop Princess, who many (including myself) believe has become the new Queen of Pop, taking the crown and thrown from Madonna?
hahahahahhhahhahahhahahahahahhhhahhh

Britney's OK, but there's no way she's taken the crown of Madonna.

That's like saying Justin Timberlake took the crown from Michael Jackson.

b7astoise December 7th, 2008 6:58 PM

aint she crazy???? ok ok i dont have a problem with her except one of her music videos it looked liked she was about to seduce this guy then out of nowhere she was on a plane..i was like %&*[email protected]*^&%!!! other than that she entertains me lmao

There are people who believe Justin took the crown away from Michael just how there are people who believe Britney took it from Madonna. Nothing to laugh about, really as there is nothing really funny about believes regarding who someone believes to be "crowned". If I'm missing something, do inform me.

I should inform you that Michael has an untouchable crown that Justin can not take.

Thomas December 7th, 2008 7:30 PM

No one ever said that either of them took the crown from whoever or whatever...Justin...has no title, he has only had two albums as a solo artist...as for Britney...she is the "Princess of Pop" its always been that way...

(Exactly what Thomas-san said)

I was just simply sharing my views on who I believe is the queen of pop, which might as well be a side-topic to this thread since it does play a role the whole Britney Spears topic anyway. I respect views on who is what in the pop culture and all I ask is the same in return. I mean, there are a lot of people who believe, like I said, that both Britney and Justin became the queen and king of pop with their last albums they created. I just agree with Kill the Lights when the announcer said the "...Pop Princess, now queen of pop, has a special announcement she would like to make" even though that's pretty much a self-given title.

Well, you may call Britney whatever you want, but if by "taking the crown from Madonna" you imply Britney's had more importance, success, or contribution in pop music than Madonna, well, with all due respect, that's laughable to me.


LIKE A VIRGIN
TOUCHED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME

doesn't matter December 7th, 2008 11:21 PM

Ladies and gentlemen, your Queen of Pop, Britney Spears.



If it isn't obvious, I think she's nothing like she was back in the day, and since back in the day I was a child, she wasn't anything much back then either.

This talk of Britney Spears being the queen of pop is foolish.

Rogue planet December 8th, 2008 11:49 AM

Britneys got a lot more work to do if she wants to become queen of pop, more than 100 million records worth of work actually. She has more chance of becoming queen than Justin has of becoming King though...

It seems a lot of people (on this forum in particular) seem to idolize Britney like a saint; I fail too see what is so amazing about her. Yes she has had a number of hits in the charts, yes she has sold many albums but she hasn't done an amazing thing for society, she hasn't made a breakthrough in medicine saving hundreds of lives? what makes her different from all these other bands and solo artists that have sold many records?

Ruphire December 8th, 2008 12:00 PM

I like her new series For the record. It just shows stuff about her life. It's actually pretty good.

Chikara December 8th, 2008 1:33 PM

Brittney's a really nice person. I hate tabloids; mainly cause they focus on her screw ups more than what's GOOD about her.

I hate her music, but as a person AND a performer, I really like her. My dad thinks she's a umm... "clown"... That's because he hears all the bad choices she makes, and I'll admit, she's made quite a few of them. That's not enough to make her a horrible person, plenty of people are like that and, we only hear about her because she's famous and crap :/

doesn't matter December 8th, 2008 2:44 PM

When she's constantly screwing up for a year, how can they not focus on that?

Metatron December 9th, 2008 9:26 AM

Well before anything, just let me start by saying that I've always hated pop music in general. with the exception of the backstreet boys...whatever happened to them?

I never liked her music, and I always hated the image of herself she was trying to portray. So, as a performer, I guess you could say I despise her. But as a person...I don't really know. I mean, you read all these tabloids about how she went all insane, ended up in drug rehab, etc. (I think I even read one where she claimed she was the anti-christ. Not sure how accurate that one was, though), but how many of the things we read are actually true, and not just made up for a good story? I can't help but to feel bad for her for all the media has put her through, even if she did most of it to herself =/

Lucy Lu December 9th, 2008 11:30 AM

I loved her music back in the day. I do admit though, she isn't the best singer in the world. She is one of the BEST dancers in the world though. XD So to me she is a wonderful performer. And she had her problems. I do blame most of the media for that. I wish they would have leave her alone. She had a tough time, and they just wanted the latest scoop of her going insane. That is so wrong. :/

But I am glad she is back on track and doing what she loves. I might get her latest CD. I went ahead and got her Greatest Hits. Awesome stuff there. Brings me back. :3

Artemis December 12th, 2008 10:36 AM

I'm just glad Britney Spears has decided to go and turn her life around, and she really deserves the support...turning her life around for the better...what can be more blessing for her...I'm glad she has finally opened her eyes...

HeidiMoose December 13th, 2008 1:34 AM

I haven't really paid much attention to Britney. Basically just started to ignore her during the whole head-shaving and rehab line of things.
Although I've never particularly liked her as a person and ESPECIALLY as a role model for today's youth, I am guilty of owning her first two albums, and have found something to like about most of her music... : /

But, as a role model, like most celebrities, I've completely hated her the past few years. And it doesn't help that her little sister star-wannabe Jamie, went and got pregnant at the age of 16, as a star on a Nickelodeon series.
But, as this isn't about Jamie..

I dunno..
Maybe I'll look some stuff up and see what Brit is up to.
Maybe my opinion will alter.


EDIT: Okay, change of wording.
It's not so much she who is the bad role model as much as what the media wants to portray of her

Just to get that out there.



Oh! And I almost forgot.
I am guilty of having once owned her "Curious" perfume product.
It smelled so smexy. :3

Twinx December 13th, 2008 2:39 AM

Her debut “…Baby One More Time” debuted at number 1 on Canadian and U.S. charts. In The U.S., it stayed there for six weeks. The single with the same name went number 1 world-wide, including the U.S. and U.K. Spears broke the record for the youngest artist, at age 17, to have his or her first single reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with “…Baby One More Time”. Spears also broke the record for the youngest artist, at age 17, to have his or her first single and first album simultaneously reach #1 on the Billboard charts.

Her follow-up album, Oops!… I Did It Again, released on May 16, 2000, also debuted at #1 in the US and Canada, and was a similarly huge hit. It sold over 1.3 million units its first week in the US, making it the fastest-selling album by a female artist. The album has sold over 10 million copies in the US alone and over 18 million worldwide.

Her next album, Britney, was released in November 2001, and again debuted at #1 on both the US and Canadian charts, selling over 740,000 units its first week in the US. This made her the only female artist in SoundScan history to have her first three albums debut at #1.

Her fourth album, In the Zone, was released in November, 2003. It rose straight to the top of the US album charts in its debut week, making Spears the only female in music history to have her first four albums debut at #1.

She then released her first fragrance, “Curious”, in September. “Curious” is currently ranked the #1 fragrance in department stores. The fragrance had the biggest debut in sales in history from Elizabeth Arden.

Her 50+ awards she has one including the best, A Grammy, for “Toxic” as Best Dance Recording. She was also nominated for 6 other Grammy’s.

She is the best-selling female artist of the still-running decade and century and has sold a RIAA-certified 32 million albums in the US and 75 millions worldwide.

Blackout debuted at #2 on the US charts last year, with no promotion from Spears herself.

Circus debuted at #1 last week.

You just pointed out to her breakdown one year ago, which has nothing to do with her pop career. Everyone goes through rough times in their lives, she's moved on, the world has moved on, and so should you.

Look at what Britney has accomplished in the past 10 years, before looking at tabloids filled with crap.


As much as I love Britney, she's still doesn't deserve the title of Queen just yet. Maybe in another 10 years. Right now, Madge is the Queen and Brit's the princess.

Thanks soooo much for this thread. Britney is the sweetest girl in the world... <3

Volkner's Apprentice December 13th, 2008 1:26 PM

I'm glad she's back in action; all the tabloids were really getting harsh on her, and I hope she's on track to pulling her life back together. I've never been on for her music (Toxic is really her only fun song IMO, idk), but I'm happy when the artists are happy.

She should have a talk with that little sister of hers. X_x Pregnant twice? What? And you're on Nickelodeon? Haha.

No....I mean the only song I DONT LIKE is My Baby, and yeah Lace and Leather is awesome, but not my complete favorite on the album.

Lately, I have been listening to Shattered Glass, Mannequin, Phonography, and Amnesia. Also Quicksand and Trouble are probably next on my obsesson list. I got them after the CD was actually released cause one was like a iTunes Pre-Order Bonus Track and the other...I think was another iTunes bonus.

Haza December 16th, 2008 7:19 PM

Really? You don't like "Out from Under" (lol not Underneath) I really like it and I think it is the best ballad on the CD.

I was slow to warm up to Unusual You. I love the song now, but I was kinda turned off to it at first because of the weird fluctuations in her voice when she sang the lyric Unusual You in the chorus.

I've never been a big fan but, I'm guilty of completely obssesing over Womanizer(she also looks darn smexy in the video) so much I actually know all the lyrics.I also like Toxic and Break The Ice. However, I disagree about the Queen Of Pop thing, Madonna is, and will be da queen 4 evah! She's the only 50 year old woman who looks sexy, and can dance while jumping rope, heck, my mom's 10 years younger and she'd die if she were ever to do that.
Anyways, you've all inspired me and I'm gonna make a Britney theme later.KTHNXBYE!

I don't know why people keep saying that Britney is being called the Queen of Pop. No one has ever really called her that, she has always been known as the "Princess of Pop" ever since she came on the scene like 10 years ago.

Star★Seeker December 16th, 2008 7:55 PM

She is very talented, but right now, with the many pop newcomers and Madonna still around, it's probable she'd still be the Princess of Pop for some more years. On the bright side, I doubt Katy Perry would ever reach their calliber, even though I love her!

Speaking of that video, it's been really controversial over whether she lip syncs the whole time during the song or sings along with it. I believe that she sings along with the actual recorded track. I don't have a problem with lip syncing at all to be honest. I mean, there's so much dancing and moving around on the stage it would be impossible to be singing the whole time without showing any signs of restraint of voice and all that.. horrible stuff that singers and performers get while performing their routine.

With that said, what does everyone think about that or about lip syncing in general with stars?

Katy Perry is a good singer, and her sound is great, but she needs to get over herself. She was complaining that she was only nominated for one Grammy! She should be happy for the one nomination she got, cause IMO she shouldn't have gotten any...now B.S. on the other hand should have gotten all of them. xD

For the last time. She is not B! Beyonce has reserved that name long ago.

du1387 December 17th, 2008 10:32 AM

I'm a huge Britney fan, and I really like her last two cds. Her earlier stuff was sometimes good, but her later stuff was excellent.

I'm not sure if she took the crown from Madonna, simply because Madonna has been around much longer than Britney, but she's certainly on her way.

Case closed.

luke December 18th, 2008 8:07 AM

I hate Britney Spears so much.

Just a head's up - I don't want this thread to be a discussion about who's nickname is "B." When two celebrities name's start with the same letter, they're bound to have similar nicknames.

Seriously though. Why haven't I posted here yet? I only recently become a fan of Britney four years ago when I first heard Toxic. I had always secretly liked her when she first came out, but as a young boy, that wasn't cool so I avoided her CDs and such. Then, when Toxic came out, I was enamored and began to listen to her more. Then, the Greatest Hits CD came out and I asked for it for Christmas. From that point on, my fascination grew more and eventually, she became my favorite artist.

I'll admit my interest waned and artists like Beyonce, Rihanna, and Gwen Stefani creeped into my hearts, but with the release of Blackout, I fell in love with Britney once again. My love has increased more as I have discovered remixes of her music and she is by far the most played artist on my iTunes.

I am not what you would call a stan (superfan for those who don't know the lingo). I am not obsessed with every move she makes and will not fight to the death to protect her name. I acknowledge she has a weaker voice than many and that she has made many mistakes in her career. Her music just fascinates me and every time I hear one of her songs, it's like they're toxic and it's my prerogative to listen to them over and over again.

Also, if you dislike Britney, don't just post "i haet brittany so much." Post a reason. And if someone does post an opinion stating they dislike Britney, don't flame them. Counter their points, but don't attack them.

Thomas December 18th, 2008 12:51 PM

Well said. I have never been a superfan, but I have conistently been a fan of hers since ...Baby One More Time. To me In The Zone was the highest point of her career. Womanizer is really popular and is getting a lot of radio play bug I don't think it is near reaching the level of popularity that Toxic reached.

Virtual Chatot December 18th, 2008 1:14 PM

The day she shaved her head is the day I enter a sort of "Lol Nirvana"

Honestly, I've always thought of her music as a joke, leftovers from a time when boy bands ruled the earth.

I'm not going to lie here. I freakin' loved Britney Spears back in the day. I don't really like her as much now, but even still, it hurt to see all the tabloids everytime I was in a grocrey store or something. She's a normal person, it's just the fact that she's famous that gets all the media swamped on her. Lets take the Sean Preston in her lap situation. You know what? When I was a baby, I've sat on my dad's lap while he was driving. Were we in the news for that? No, we were not. Why was Britney? Because she's Britney. Every little mistake she makes is publicised because she's famous.

And don't even get me started on shaving her head. You know what? I have a friend who shaved her head. So what? It's just because it's Britney that it was looked into and cared about so much.

PS: Love Womanizer. <333

Honestly, I've always thought of her music as a joke, leftovers from a time when boy bands ruled the earth.

It's pop music. It's not like rock where the majority of the bands out there write and compose all the songs on their albums. Pop music is meant for you to just feel good, and have fun while listening to and and that is what Britney's music is.

For the record, That album cover just shows a B, its not a nickname. Thats the end of that discussion, I think I might just pop in B Day cause I love it when Jay calls her B on that one track.
Anyway, Phonography is a really great song. It is now my favorite off the album and it was the last I heard.

Thomas December 18th, 2008 6:31 PM

If we are debating who's nickname is B, well then it is Blair Waldorf. xD
But as far as pop stars go, Britney will always be B to me. (xD Rhymes)

You're the only one who's really continuing that discussion. When I made this thread, I had no view of a nickname of "B" being brought up. If someone wants to call Britney B, so be it. I don't really understand why you're arguing about it. It's not like you're going to change their minds of who should be called that. I mean, seriously. B's just a letter and hardly anything to fight about.

I don't know what thread you're viewing, but there isn't exactly a fight here. xD
Anyway, I've been listening to Blackout again. I was listening to Freakshow in my car today and I didn't realize how Robyn reminiscent it was. Very good song for those who skipped over it on Blackout or haven't given it a listen yet at all.

Regardless of if it's a fight or not, it's still rather pointless to debate with people over who "reserved" the nickname of B first and I'm not saying you're in that (for some reason, when I read your post, I assumed you misread who I was quoting because I was quoting Haza Divo. But, regardless... I'm kind of being hypocritical in continuing the discussion of that myself, so I'll be quiet about it now.)

With that aside, strangely enough, I have been to Blackout as well. It wasn't until Circus and the documentary that she made with MTV that I really began to understand the meaning behind each of the songs in Blackout. Even though she didn't write the majority of the songs included on the album, they still relate to her in some way or another which is another factor that I enjoy about listening to her because it's not 'just Pop music' being played. They have meaning to them just like the majority of the good songs out there.

Meanings of the blackout songs? Aren't most of them about sex?
Could you be more specific please? I think the only "personal" songs on that album are "Piece of Me" and "Why should I be sad" <- worst song on the album.

Maybe I don't get it 'cause I haven't seen the documentary yet...

I mean, there's so much dancing and moving around on the stage it would be impossible to be singing the whole time without showing any signs of restraint of voice and all that.. horrible stuff that singers and performers get while performing their routine.

With that said, what does everyone think about that or about lip syncing in general with stars?

I don't think she was lip syncing in that video, but there is another when she is on the X-Factor now that was lip syncing, but she had to perform so much that I can understand her lip syncing there,

But no she was not lip syncing in the video in my profile, you can clearly see so when they show her face when she's in the front of the stage.

I think you may be looking at it in a sense that's direct. Some of the songs, even though people may not see it, to me, have metaphoric sense. In my opinion Gimme More, Piece of Me, Radar, Break the Ice, Get Naked (I Got A Plan), Freakshow, and Hot as Ice all have a meaning of how people view her in both professional and personal living styles. Each one kind of connects with the other and once you see the documentary, you can really tell that that's the case since that was just after her.. blackout of her life to be frank. And just as Blackout reflects her blackout periods, Circus reflects her comeback (but I think everyone knows that).

I don't listen to Britney Spears all that much. That's not to say that I don't think many of her songs are catchy, because some of them are. I just think of pop music as more about the fame and fandom instead of the actual music. It's not that I don't like pop music or Britney Spears, I just like other genres much better.

Oh, now I get what you mean. Yes, Blackout is a dark album.. It was something different and fresh at the time, but now looking back, it just sounds like Robo-Brit.
Though, I have to admit, my favorite songs are mostly from blackout :D

I wish more people were like you. People usually have a love/hate relationship with Brit.. And I think you may be right about Pop music... it's more about entertainment.

I was surprised you didn't know what I meant by that. You out of the majority of the people who read this thread seeing as how your name and theme are dedicated towards Britney. It's good to know you understand what I'm talking about when I say metaphoric sense instead of literal as well since that's usually the way I read lyrics of hers and many others. And yes, I do agree with the fact of the majority of the songs having that robotic sound to it. That's something I didn't like at first because it just sounded really croaky, but I've grown to like it since it's a completely different sound from that majority of her albums she puts out due to that.

Being someone who's in a love-relationship with Britney Spears, I agree with this. Aurafire, I'm actually glad you said what you said because in the majority of the case, people just dislike her because of various other reasons and actually do listen to her songs without saying that to anybody due to being embarrassed by liking her music. Though you stated you only like a hand few of them, at least you admit to that. One of my friends caught me listening to it and was surprised that I would like songs from her and gave me this weird look that I probably took wrongly. I asked what was wrong with liking her and they didn't respond. So clearly someone I know very well... or supposedly, has some hate towards her.

While I'm not exactly pleased with the whole attention-grabbing debacle she had with her kids, I'll admit that her music is catchy. I've been known to listen to dance/pop/R&B occasionally. It's not my favorite music, but it's not bad. I think the reason people feel like they can't like Britney Spears is that they're afraid that they'll be selling out their own style of music by liking her. If you like something, why should you be ashamed of it? People tend to be very hypocritical about their music choices. =/

Oh at first, I thought you meant there was a "deep" meaning in the blackout songs, which was a bit confusing for me =]

Btw, people, especially guys, don't like Britney because the majority of her male fans are gays..

Thats me! Wait, does that make me typical in this aspect? Actually the first song I liked of hers was Toxic and never again until Gimme More! lol.

Amnesia has been on repeat in my head, on my iPod, and in my car for the past like 3 days. I can't get enough of it. If I can find an import version of the Japanese Deluxe Edition I might buy it.

Snivi December 21st, 2008 10:24 PM

I've been a fan since Baby One More Time and I still love her and always will!

I even saw the Oops tour. She was the last concert I have been too. XD *drove out of state with sister and cousin to see her* But our seats sucked.

Just be glad that it is even available on an album in America, stupid only the British and the Japanese get to enjoy Amnesia on the actual album.

Also, if anyone hasn't listened to Trouble (the iTunes pre-order bonus track) then you really need to. It is really really good.

Edit: And I heard an awesome Christmas song by her today on the radio called My Only Wish.

My Only Wish (This Year). I really wish she'd perform this song this Christmas.. though I don't really think she'd be up for it.

Rockéttes December 23rd, 2008 3:27 AM

So in reply to the actual topic and not the more recent posts ('cause I'm slow): I don't like her music so much, but she's not a horrible artist.

I definitely wouldn't say she's "the most discussed artist in this point in time", but she's definitely not far from it. Forming an opinion about her on a personal level wouldn't be right, as more than half of the rumors I've heard about her are presumably untrue. However, I must admit that it takes some guts and willpower to be able to do what she's done, and since I can only judge a person by their actions, "Bravo, Brittany Spears".

While I don't like her genre of music, I do believe she is one of, if not the best at it. Some songs are rather catchy, while others I wouldn't be caught dead listening to. As for her being the "Pop Queen", I really don't have an opinion on that right now. I don't listen to very much pop, so I couldn't compare. She is a very talented individual, though, and I think the media needs to stop focusing on all the bad and start focusing on all the good.

.inLOVE December 23rd, 2008 8:25 AM

As most people know, I love Britney. She is talented, and though she has had her moments, she isn't that bad.

xoBoxxy December 24th, 2008 1:34 PM

I like Britney. Shes a regular person with mistakes, she just gets publicized her for it. Now I know someone is going to say "Oh yeah, a regular person shaves their head all the time, of course". I admit, she shouldn't have done that, but that was like what? A year ago and your still complaining about it? She really improved herself this year, and shes getting, and looking healthier.

kissing. raindrops December 24th, 2008 2:33 PM

I love Britney Spears! Her songs are awesome<3
Especially her new songs now; like Circus, Mannequin and Get Back, I've been listening to them a lot.
I also like Piece of Me, Break the Ice, etc.

Get Back was one of the BEST songs on Blackout. IMO I was pissed that it was only an iTunes Deluxe track though.

Also finally someone who likes Mannequin. I can't seem to find anyone else who likes that song. It's probably my favorite right now on Circus, I've gotten over Amnesia just a bit, and have been listening to Mannequin more and more. Really good.

OMG. I love that song too. It is my fave from blackout.

Thomas December 25th, 2008 10:50 AM

I just went back and listened to Get Naked (I Got A Plan) again. Yeah that song was really good, but definitely not even in my top 5 for the album.

For blackout:

5) Everybody
4) Piece of Me
4) Gimme More
3) Freakshow
2) Get Back
1) Ooh Ooh Baby

love it. lol
