    Keeping in spirit with Milli Vanilli, Britney's voice is manufactured by computer and studio technology. Evidence of this statement is given by her inability to sing without a pre-recorded soundtrack (anyone see the HBO special?). Instead, listen to techno if you want to listen to computer generated music.

    Not only does she destroy her career, but flushes her reputation down the toilet. Would it kill her to be just a little more original?

    Innovative, avante-garde and adventurous, Britney's latest is a captivating pop epic. Her lyrics are insightful and poignant, and her voice has a sublime quality that comes across as both lush and assertive. The instrumentation took my breath away with its inspired melodies and clever hooks. In the vapid genre that is pop, it is good to know that people like Britney have the ability Innovative, avante-garde and adventurous, Britney's latest is a captivating pop epic.

In the vapid genre that is pop, it is good to know that people like Britney have the ability to produce timeless classics that go beyond the latest fads in the music industry. She is also very beautiful, but her sultry, delicious vocals coupled with thought-provoking lyrics mean that she never needs to depend on her image to sell. In conclusion, Britney is one of the most talented and original artists on the scene today and I can't wait for her next big one. … Expand

    She looks like a bigger slut then ever, she needs to write her own music and learn to be original.

    This was Britney's first attempt to show a more mature and personal side of herself, and it worked partly because it didn't really sound personal and honest. The production is perfect with some mix of pop, contemporary r&b, and pop-rock. Overall a good album.

    It's enough of a reinvention to suggest that Britney will know what to do when the teen-pop phenomenon of 1999-2001 passes for good.

    While she's been guilty of gluing sure-fire singles together with rotten fillers on her previous two albums, Britney uses this opportunity to take the odd risk and adds a welcome edge to her sound.
