    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.

    I think that she has changed too much but I like the change in her music but not her looks

    The new album from Britney Spears, "Britney", is a widely varying and ultimately pleasing experience from start to finish. She is displaying a new maturation and talent that is more evident now than ever. And I think people like Anna H. here should be ashamed of themselves for making such ridiculous and hurtful comments that really should not have been posted in the first place.

    I just simply love this magnificent album. The tracks are both feminine and energetic. It seems that Britney has grown into a woman!

    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?

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

    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.
