"I'll Never Stop Loving You" is forgettable, cheesy, one of the many underwhelming tracks from early Britney.

As for "Lucky"...gurl, is you crazy? "Lucky" this low? :o It's no masterpiece but it's such a sweet track with a lovely music video. I'll never forget this track as it was one of the very first Britney songs I had ever heard. I found the lyrics to be scarily similar to the dark place Britney found herself in 2007. Way, way too low. :-?

"Heart", much like "I'll Never Stop Loving You" is the only other song in this batch deserving of a sub-100 ranking.

"Blur" is incredible. It was actually one of the standout tracks when I first bought Circus. That line, "Who are you? What'd we do last night?" is just perfect for those drunken one-night stands. Britney's voice on this song is also perfection. She really plays the part well and I just...can't with this ranking.

"My Only Wish (This Year)", cheesy as it may be, is one of my all-time fave Christmas songs. It's Britney's own "All I Want For Christmas Is You", in my opinion.

"I'll Never Stop Loving You" = yeah...this one's totally forgettable. your write-up was pretty nice, considering this is only No. 112! it definitely belongs this low.

"Lucky" = *sigh* and still, there's one in every group that cuts me deep! this is MUCH too low! granted, I'm glad that you at least admit to loving the melody of the chorus. and hey, at least the subject matter is different from the usual "boys-and-dancing" stuff.

"Heart" = I actually don't mind this as much as most of the other Oops! ballads ("One Kiss From You", "Where Are You Now", "When Your Eyes Say It", "Girl In The Mirror"). it's a bit low here, but nothing too tragic.

"Blur" = almost unlistenable, this definitely deserved to be this low. easily the worst track on the standard edition of Circus (in terms of bonus tracks, "Rock Boy" is almost as bad). and it's the only Circus track to fall for a while, eh? I didn't realize you liked that album so much!

"My Only Wish" = holiday tracks can be a bit tough to rank, but I think this is a bit harsh. it's no "All I Want For Christmas Is You", but it's definitely cute and catchy.

'Lucky' is definitely one the weakest singles from her imo, although video is really good. I have huge love for all those Oops I Did Again ballads, they are so sweet that I can't understand the hate for them :lol:

Blur is real madness and really low as is My Only Wish, the best Xmas track imo.

I was thinking now to do a countdown too, will probably work on that this summer or so :D

Oops I missed a round already! :o :oops:

I'll still give my opinion though! :)

Girl In The Mirror: I don't mind seeing this song go. It's just another cheesy pop song and far from her best!

Sometimes: I used to LOVE this song when I was a kid, but if I'm honest... I barely listen to this anymore. I would've placed the song a bit higher maybe but I can live with the #116 spot! :)

I'm So Curious: I have soft spot for this song. It's cheesy as hell indeed but I kinda got into this song again recently. I can see why you put this song at #115 though.

Trip To Your Heart: was my least favorite song on Femme Fatale for a long time. I didn't like it the first couple of listens and never gave it a chance after that. But then somewhere in the end of 2011, I decided to give it another shot and for some reason it really clicked with me. Since then this has grown so much on me. It's actually one of my favorite Britney songs at the moment. Therefore, this is waaaayyy to low!! :P

Where Are You Now: is pretty dull and forgettable indeed. This should've charted lower in my opinion. There are songs lower than this that are so much better...

I'll Never Stop Loving You: is okay, nothing special. Chorus is the only highlight. This deserves to chart low!

Lucky: just like "Sometimes" I loved this song as a kid but barely listen to this anymore. The song and video are sooo damn cheesy lol. I actually prefer Sometimes to this now! :P

Heart: is okay. Definitely not the worst song on Oops! but far from the best...

Blur: should've charted higher. It sounded like filler to me at first but I really got to appreciate the song. I like the dark/haunting vibe of the song and I love the "raw" vocals from Britney! :)

My Only Wish (This Year): already out?! Awww, I love this song. It's obviously far from her best but such a guilty pleasure to listen to during the christmas days and even when it's not christmas lol. This is always one of my most played songs during the christmas days.

My Only Wish (This Year) >>>>>>>> All I Want For Christmas Is You 8-)

Overall I like the results so far. I agree on where most songs charted. Some song I would've loved to see charting higher, especially Trip To Your Heart!

Can't wait to see some more results! :D

Woo this is gonna be a good countdown :D

My opinions:

Autumn Goodbye: Yeah, I agree. This song is really cheesey and annoying.

Boys: This is ok. I've never really loved or hated it, it's just there. What did you think of the version with Pharrell? LOL.

Email My Heart: BLEH. Always my least favourite from BOMT. So dreary and not even cute.

Dear Diary: Aww I'm like the only person who actually loves this song :oops: :lol: I think it's so cute!

Big Fat Bass: And I love this one! I don't find will.i.am annoying and I think this is really catchy and cool. It's definitely not my least fave from FF.

Girl In The Mirror: Boring. Never liked this one.

Sometimes: Agreed that there were way better follow up singles to BOMT, if she wanted a slower song she should have gone for Born To Make You Happy!

I'm So Curious: Aww I love this one! It would have fit perfectly on the BOTM album, replacing Email My Heart or something :lol:

Trip To Your Heart: I think Big Fat Bass is better then this, but I don't hate it, it's cool.

Where Are You Now: I just don't like Brit's monotonous album tracks like this one. Boring!

I'll Never Stop Loving You: Gosh, her early albums have so much filler :lol: This is cheesey.

Lucky: I love the video to this track, but overall it's quite cheesey. Still a nice song though, but would never rank high on my faves list.

Heart: Yet another dull track from her early career. Never liked this.

Blur: Wow :o I am shocked! IMO this is one of my faves from Circus! It reminds me of a slower Early Mornin and is way better!

My Only Wish: I've only heard this a couple of times, so no opinion.

LOL wow sorry to overload you :lol: But I mostly agree with you so far except a couple of songs (Blur, Big Fat Bass, Dear Diary :oops: :lol:)
One for the money, two for the show, I love you honey, I'm ready ready to go...

Aw.. sorry haha! I hope no more major disappointments or at least not yet! haha 8-)

Very much agree, though the chorus is good.

I'll never forget this track as it was one of the very first Britney songs I had ever heard. I found the lyrics to be scarily similar to the dark place Britney found herself in 2007.

I just do not like this song a lot.. tooooooo cheeeeeessssyyy!!!!!

"Heart", much like "I'll Never Stop Loving You" is the only other song in this batch deserving of a sub-100 ranking.

Gurl you do not tell me that in MY countdown :roll: LOL jk!

"Blur" is incredible. It was actually one of the standout tracks when I first bought Circus. That line, "Who are you? What'd we do last night?" is just perfect for those drunken one-night stands. Britney's voice on this song is also perfection. She really plays the part well and I just...can't with this ranking.

Of course you'd think it's incredible.. XD

"My Only Wish (This Year)", cheesy as it may be, is one of my all-time fave Christmas songs. It's Britney's own "All I Want For Christmas Is You", in my opinion.

Yeah, I agree but it's only a Chirstmas song, heck if I did an MC, AIWFCIY would probably miss the top 100 too! They are just not my thang!:wink:
phoenix98 wrote:"I'll Never Stop Loving You" = yeah...this one's totally forgettable. your write-up was pretty nice, considering this is only No. 112! it definitely belongs this low.

Well I did tell you after 113 I at least liked each song after that :D

"Lucky" = *sigh* and still, there's one in every group that cuts me deep! this is MUCH too low! granted, I'm glad that you at least admit to loving the melody of the chorus. and hey, at least the subject matter is different from the usual "boys-and-dancing" stuff.

Yes, maybe it is different, but why the hell so cheesy? haha I have heard better.. try Lana's Carmen... There's a way to talk about it maturely..

"Heart" = I actually don't mind this as much as most of the other Oops! ballads ("One Kiss From You", "Where Are You Now", "When Your Eyes Say It", "Girl In The Mirror"). it's a bit low here, but nothing too tragic.

Ok.. we will definitely have major disagreements ;)

"Blur" = almost unlistenable, this definitely deserved to be this low. easily the worst track on the standard edition of Circus (in terms of bonus tracks, "Rock Boy" is almost as bad). and it's the only Circus track to fall for a while, eh? I didn't realize you liked that album so much!

SO glad SOMEONE agrees with me! :D and you'll see where RB lands ;)

"My Only Wish" = holiday tracks can be a bit tough to rank, but I think this is a bit harsh. it's no "All I Want For Christmas Is You", but it's definitely cute and catchy.

Christmas songs are just that, Christmas songs, no impact anytime else for me.

The video is good haha but the song is only ok.. and haha I can see you do! Don't worry, not all ballads from Oops will be this low ;) I guess they are beyond cheesy that's why we dislike them haha

Blur is real madness and really low as is My Only Wish, the best Xmas track imo.

Well they are pretty forgettable for me ;)

I was thinking now to do a countdown too, will probably work on that this summer or so :D
Cool I'd love to see your Britney taste! I'd follow it :D

Noahh wrote:Oops I missed a round already! :o :oops:

No worries, not holding you at gunpoint or anything to follow i haha.. yet

I'll still give my opinion though! :)

Girl In The Mirror: I don't mind seeing this song go. It's just another cheesy pop song and far from her best!

Great :D

Sometimes: I used to LOVE this song when I was a kid, but if I'm honest... I barely listen to this anymore. I would've placed the song a bit higher maybe but I can live with the #116 spot! :)

There is something cringe worthy about this song haha.. for me.

I'm So Curious: I have soft spot for this song. It's cheesy as hell indeed but I kinda got into this song again recently. I can see why you put this song at #115 though.

LOL, this song is horrible IMO XD. But to each their own I guess haha ;)

Trip To Your Heart: was my least favorite song on Femme Fatale for a long time. I didn't like it the first couple of listens and never gave it a chance after that. But then somewhere in the end of 2011, I decided to give it another shot and for some reason it really clicked with me. Since then this has grown so much on me. It's actually one of my favorite Britney songs at the moment. Therefore, this is waaaayyy to low!! :P

Well I wanted it to grow on me, gave it enough chances though...

Where Are You Now: is pretty dull and forgettable indeed. This should've charted lower in my opinion. There are songs lower than this that are so much better...

I think not haha, at least some parts are listenable!!

I'll Never Stop Loving You: is okay, nothing special. Chorus is the only highlight. This deserves to chart low!

Yay for agreeing about the chorus thingy..

Lucky: just like "Sometimes" I loved this song as a kid but barely listen to this anymore. The song and video are sooo damn cheesy lol. I actually prefer Sometimes to this now! :P

Lucky is so cringe worthy as well, I cannot imagine how she felt recording this crap! XD

Heart: is okay. Definitely not the worst song on Oops! but far from the best...

Blur: should've charted higher. It sounded like filler to me at first but I really got to appreciate the song. I like the dark/haunting vibe of the song and I love the "raw" vocals from Britney! :)

I think this is not on par with most of Circus, plus Circus wasn't as autouned as FF.. so I get raw vocals in enough songs.

My Only Wish (This Year): already out?! Awww, I love this song. It's obviously far from her best but such a guilty pleasure to listen to during the christmas days and even when it's not christmas lol. This is always one of my most played songs during the christmas days.

My Only Wish (This Year) >>>>>>>> All I Want For Christmas Is You 8-)

I cannot listen to Christmas music (even on Christmas), really depressing IMO LOL... they are just Christmas songs IMO, I rarely listen.

Overall I like the results so far. I agree on where most songs charted. Some song I would've loved to see charting higher, especially Trip To Your Heart!

Can't wait to see some more results! :D
Glad you agree with (most) of the countdown! :D

REALLY annoying! haha, glad you agree :D

Boys: This is ok. I've never really loved or hated it, it's just there. What did you think of the version with Pharrell? LOL.

Well the Co-Ed remix is way more listenable haha but it's just a remix and I rarely listen to any version of his song haha.

Email My Heart: BLEH. Always my least favourite from BOMT. So dreary and not even cute.

99.999% agree haha

Dear Diary: Aww I'm like the only person who actually loves this song :oops: :lol: I think it's so cute!

*DEAD*. you might be XD

Big Fat Bass: And I love this one! I don't find will.i.am annoying and I think this is really catchy and cool. It's definitely not my least fave from FF.

Well at least some people do haha, I really do think they should've released it even though I hate it though.

Girl In The Mirror: Boring. Never liked this one.

Good to see we agree...

Sometimes: Agreed that there were way better follow up singles to BOMT, if she wanted a slower song she should have gone for Born To Make You Happy!

YASS!!!

Trip To Your Heart: I think Big Fat Bass is better then this, but I don't hate it, it's cool.

Both bring FF down IMO

Where Are You Now: I just don't like Brit's monotonous album tracks like this one. Boring!

Yeah, it's like just so dulllllll....

I'll Never Stop Loving You: Gosh, her early albums have so much filler :lol: This is cheesey.

Yeah, love the chorus though! :oops: haha

Lucky: I love the video to this track, but overall it's quite cheesey. Still a nice song though, but would never rank high on my faves list.

Good.. 8-)

Heart: Yet another dull track from her early career. Never liked this.

I am so glad she changed early in her career, no more cheesy pop sings after 2 albums

Blur: Wow :o I am shocked! IMO this is one of my faves from Cir...cus! It reminds me of a slower Early Mornin and is way better!

I knew there would be one that would be a big disagreement haha

My Only Wish: I've only heard this a couple of times, so no opinion.

Pretty forgettable IMO, like many Christmas songs.

LOL wow sorry to overload you :lol: But I mostly agree with you so far except a couple of songs (Blur, Big Fat Bass, Dear Diary :oops: :lol:)
No worries! I appreciate you commenting! :D

THANK you all!!! It really means a lot to me!

107. Chaotic
Code: Select all
I rarely listen to this EP, for similar reasons Akini has, but I at leas acknowledge it and he music is actually great, pre-Blackout sound, lovely. This is my least favourite from it though, very forgettable in my opinion. I won't post the official cover cause a certain someone is in it.


Image
106. From the Bottom of MY Broken Heart
Code: Select all
I really enjoy he chorus but the title itself is just, no... sorry.. I can see why it was chosen as a single though, but still there are way better single ready tracks on ..Baby One More Time. The video is also cheesy as hell. This is the point were I actually like the songs a lot by the way.


Image
105. Deep In My Heart
Code: Select all
Sweet bonus track, but that's it. It got forgotten quickly, not a standout but I appreciate the chorus a bit. Very teenish though.


Image
104. Walk On My
Code: Select all
B-Side to Stronger and bonus track from "Oops!.." it falls here. It's good but not the best on the parent album. I like the title phrase haha, sweet, and nowhere as cheesy as others in my opinion. Listenable :D


Image
103. Radar
Code: Select all
I was about to bee funny and put both this and Circus' cover haha! That's why I said "Sorta" when I said Blur would be the only  Circus track in a while. This is the first to go from her fist(and second LOL) album since her breakdown. I think the way she says Radar is very cringe worthy but nice track. I do listen to i and like it. Not on par with the rest of Blackout though. Something else could've been a single.. I always die at the jokes though haha.. not worth being on two albums...

"Chaotic" = I don't really listen to the Chaotic EP much either...mainly because I don't care much for anything on it. "Someday" is pretty, and "Over To You Now" is catchy, but I've never gotten into this one or "Mona Lisa". I'm glad her next proper album didn't have this sound. I didn't realize you hated K-Fed so passionately, though! :lol:

"From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart" = yeah, definitely one of her weakest singles. it didn't do too poorly in the US, but seeing how well "Born To Make You Happy" did where it was released, it might've been a better choice for here too.

"Deep In My Heart" = cute, catchy, maybe deserves to be a bit higher. since you don't like "Autumn Goodbye" or "Sometimes", it's not to surprising you don't like this either...it's verrrry sugary-bubblegum-pop.

"Walk On By" = what I said about "Deep In My Heart" actually applies to this too. :lol:

"Radar" = we talked about this, so I won't go on too much, but I actually think it could've been a sizable hit if it had really been pushed as the 4th Blackout single. now it's mainly known for the "bonus track"/Circus single fiasco, but it's still a pretty great track. definitely NOT the worst song on Blackout!

Whoa! :o :o :o

"Autumn Goodbye" might possibly make my own top 10 :o Certainly it would be top 20 at least.

"Sometimes" would be top 5 easily for me.

I might rank the Christmas one high as well, in a rather cheesy way.

Shame to see so many of her best songs crashing out so low :(

"Chaotic" is one of the Britney songs I listen to the least for reasons you already know, but it's not that bad of a song actually, it's just too repetitive. I'm still not overly fussed by the sub-100 ranking.

"From The Bottom of My Broken Heart" is fantastic. While, like most other Britney fans, I agree that "Born To Make You Happy" is a stronger song and would've made for a superior single choice for the US, "From The Bottom of My Broken Heart" is a great ballad that showcases Britney's vocals which many of her haters claim to be non-existent.

"Deep In My Heart" is forgettable and dull. *Yawns*

"Walk On By" is okay, not as forgettable as "Deep In My Heart" but then again, not as strong as "Lucky" or "Blur". :wink:

"Radar" is the Britney song we make the most fun of but when it comes down to actual quality, it's no jokey track. It features some pretty great lyrics especially in the first verse where she sings, "Confidence is a must, cockiness is a plus, edginess is a rush, edges (I like 'em rough)..." When I sing this (about you-know-who), I like to change the lyric "He's on my radar" to "He's on my gaydar." :lol:

Chaotic: I think most people barely listen to the Chaotic EP because of you know who. But the EP, like you said, is actually really good. This is also my least favorite one from the EP so I'm not that sad to see it go! :wink:

From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart: is a song I barely listen to anymore. It's forgettable and far from her best. I still can't believe she released this in the US and not the epic "Born To Make You Happy"! :(

Deep In My Heart: is cute and the chorus is indeed the best part of the song but yeah the song is quite forgettable...

Walk On By: I still quite like this song, but it's nothing really special so I'm fine with it leaving and placing at #104

Radar: WHAT?! Uhm... Are you sure? I can't believe Radar didn't even make the top 100. It's such a great/fun pop song and could've been a total smash if they had released it properly. I've always liked the song but the Circus Tour performance made me absolutely love it. One of my favorite tour performances by her!:D

So sad to see it go! :(

Overall I'm very happy with the new results. The only song that I really hate to see leave is Radar!

Bring on some new results! 8-)

"Deep In My Heart" = cute, catchy, maybe deserves to be a bit higher. since you don't like "Autumn Goodbye" or "Sometimes", it's not to surprising you don't like this either...it's verrrry sugary-bubblegum-pop.

"Walk On By" = what I said about "Deep In My Heart" actually applies to this too. :lol:

[yeah very forgettable mostly]

"Radar" = we talked about this, so I won't go on too much, but I actually think it could've been a sizable hit if it had really been pushed as the 4th Blackout single. now it's mainly known for the "bonus track"/Circus single fiasco, but it's still a pretty great track. definitely NOT the worst song on Blackout!

[I disagree] :D

"Autumn Goodbye" might possibly make my own top 10 :o Certainly it would be top 20 at least.

"Sometimes" would be top 5 easily for me.

I might rank the Christmas one high as well, in a rather cheesy way.

Shame to see so many of her best songs crashing out so low :(
Sad to see a lot of your faves ALREADY gone! :o :oops: ...

"From The Bottom of My Broken Heart" is fantastic. While, like most other Britney fans, I agree that "Born To Make You Happy" is a stronger song and would've made for a superior single choice for the US, "From The Bottom of My Broken Heart" is a great ballad that showcases Britney's vocals which many of her haters claim to be non-existent.

"Deep In My Heart" is forgettable and dull. *Yawns*

"Walk On By" is okay, not as forgettable as "Deep In My Heart" but then again, not as strong as "Lucky" or "Blur". :wink:

"Radar" is the Britney song we make the most fun of but when it comes down to actual quality, it's no jokey track. It features some pretty great lyrics especially in the first verse where she sings, "Confidence is a must, cockiness is a plus, edginess is a rush, edges (I like 'em rough)..." When I sing this (about you-know-who), I like to change the lyric "He's on my radar" to "He's on my gaydar." :lol:
LOL I would totally use a Voldemort joke but you took it :roll: anyway.. haha funny! Glad you agree with most...

Noahh wrote:Chaotic: I think most people barely listen to the Chaotic EP because of you know who. But the EP, like you said, is actually really good. This is also my least favorite one from the EP so I'm not that sad to see it go! :wink:

From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart: is a song I barely listen to anymore. It's forgettable and far from her best. I still can't believe she released this in the US and not the epic "Born To Make You Happy"! :(

Deep In My Heart: is cute and the chorus is indeed the best part of the song but yeah the song is quite forgettable...

Walk On By: I still quite like this song, but it's nothing really special so I'm fine with it leaving and placing at #104

Radar: WHAT?! Uhm... Are you sure? I can't believe Radar didn't even make the top 100. It's such a great/fun pop song and could've been a total smash if they had released it properly. I've always liked the song but the Circus Tour performance made me absolutely love it. One of my favorite tour performances by her!:D

So sad to see it go! :(

Overall I'm very happy with the new results. The only song that I really hate to see leave is Radar!

Bring on some new results! 8-)
Glad we agree on a lot of things like the EP, mos songs, and the single worthiness of FTBOMBH.. sorry for Radar haha

GoodBoyGoneBad wrote:Maybe Radar is so low because the "Circus version" in higher in top 100... kidding! :P :lol:
:lol: :lol: I can assure this is the last you'll see of Radar! :lol:

thanks for the comments yall! Next batch will be 10 songs not just 5 due to the long waiting in between, I just like to do them when I feel great so this can be perfect, then the official tribute begins after top 100 8-)

102. What U See Is What U Get
Code: Select all
I really love this song! Very catchy and just overall love the message. Nothing bad to say about it, it;s just not one of the best from Oops!... in my opinion.


Image
101. Thinkin' About You
Code: Select all
Lovely track, hits the right spots, it';s also very catchy and just cute haha. I love he chorus and how the title is sung really fast, but sill not the best from her debut.


Image
100. Oops!... I Did It Again
Code: Select all
Just barely making the top 100 is one of her biggest hits ever. I see frowns everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE this song! I even memorized the bridge and everything. I was shocked myself when it ranked this low (but I do like the songs above it more). The video is perfect and the song's attitude is just right! The chorus is so iconic, I remember this song so clearly. Like the others, nothing bad to say as now we get into her amazing tracks (she's got a STRONG discography).


Image
99. Outrageous
Code: Select all
I think In The Zone is the last album to have a track out, meaning all made the top 100, congrats haha! At 99 is Outrageous. I think it is the worst from In The Zone and barely listen to it. I still cannot deny how epic it is. The Arabian influence is amazing abut can get too repetitive. Other than that brilliant track, the instrumental is epic!


Image
98.The Beat Goes On
Code: Select all
Catchy chorus and I love the vibe. I really like the beat to this song, very unique. Great closing track to the standard edition of her debut. Very dancable. 


Image
97. You Got It All
Code: Select all
I love this song as well. Her vocals are great on it and doesn't carry that dated sound or cheesy sound. A great ballad from "Oops!.." If I read right, it's a cover? Wel nice cover.


Image
96. Soda Pop
Code: Select all
 Irresistible track from her debut! Very teenish but lovely haha! I personally love it, and think it's a solid effort from her debut. I can dance to this track any day. Love the Jamaican influence. 


Image
95. Gasoline
Code: Select all
Only the third track from her latest effort, Gasoline lands here. Even though not her best, I do love it. The "Settin' me on fiyah" line is epic haha! Catchy and not really anything bad but not such a standout.


Image
94. Trouble For Me
Code: Select all
Second Femme Fatale song to go in a row so far (total is now 4 for FF). I love the synths in this and the pre-chorus is nice! Nice album track but that's it.


Image
93. What It's Like To Be Me
Code: Select all
Although this low, it's a very strong song. I love the lyrics and message behind it. Even though it's strong, it's not the strongest "Britney" has to offer. Not a bad song at all.

whew, massive update! this might take a little while:

"What U See Is What You Get" = aw, I wish more of those painfully dull Oops! ballads had fallen before this tune! the uptempo's on Oops! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the ballads (but I guess that's true for most...well...all of Brit's albums. she has some great ballads too, of course, but uptempo's are where she really shines).

"Thinkin' Of You" = not the worst on ...BOMT, but far from the best. it belongs this low, if not even lower.

"Oops!...I Did It Again" = yeah...this one's just...crazy. definitely the most unexpected ranking so far! I agree that she's done better...but she hasn't done 99 better songs! :lol:

"Outrageous" = not too crazy about this one, so I'm okay seeing it low. it's certainly not bad, but I've never been WOW'ed by it. there are definitely better single choices on ITZ.

"The Beat Goes On" = eh...she did an...interesting...job of "updating" this classic...but my response to "Thinkin' About You" fits this one too. also, Brit's covers tend to be pretty underwhelming ("My Prerogative" aside).

"You Got It All" = this one's nice (less of a snooze-fest than "One Kiss From You", "Where Are You Now", "When Your Eyes Say It", and "Girl In The Mirror"), but still pretty forgettable. not the worst track on Oops!, but far from the best.

"Soda Pop" = it's very...quirky...and definitely stands out on ...BOMT, but I've never really cared for it. it belongs this low, if not lower.

"Gasoline" = one of my least faves on FF. belongs this low too.

"Trouble For Me" = ah, I remember when rumours were floating around UKMix about this being the 4th FF single. I'm definitely glad her label gave "Criminal" a chance instead, even though it didn't work out...at all. :oops:

"What It's Like To Be Me" = one of...if not THE...least favorite on Britney. never really cared for it, so I'm glad to see it low.

apart from "What U See Is What U Get" and especially "Oops!", I'm perfectly fine with the rankings for this group. nicely done! ;)

"What U See (Is What U Get)" is a gem from Britney's discography that I ranked at #10 on my own Britney tribute. It's a tad...disappointing to see it so low on yours.

"Thinkin' of You" is one of the better ...Baby One More Time tracks but it's ranking is appropriate.

"Oops!...I Did It Again" is one of Britney's classics, one of her defining moments. The video is one of her more iconic videos with the tight, red catsuit and the Titanic reference as well as that saucy, attention-grabbing "I'm not that innocent!" declaration. This was #11 on my Britney countdown, but no worries. You've only ranked it eighty-nine slots lower. :P

"Outrageous" is great. I remember ranking it about fifty slots or so higher, but no biggie. :wink:

"The Beat Goes On" is terrible. Even #98 is too generous a ranking for this atrocity.

"You Got It All" is boring, an absolute borefest.

"Soda Pop" verges on being annoying.

"Gasoline" is one of only two underwhelming Femme Fatale tracks so it's ranked appropriately.

"Trouble For Me", on the other hand, was actual one of my instant favourites from Femme Fatale. It's disappointing that it's out so early.

"What It's Like To Be Me" is actually one of my fave Britney tracks. I think I ranked it about #23 on my own. But it's only seventy-plus slots lower here. Again, no love lost. :P

What U See (Is What U Get): One of my favorite songs from the Oops! album. Would've liked some other tracks of that album to see leave earlier than this one!


Thinkin' of You: Mediocre. Not the best from her debut but certainly not the worst either. I'm quite content with its position. :)


Oops!...I Did It Again: Dear Horacio... how did this epic track end up at #100?! I would've ranked it much higher, but I see where you are coming from... here discography is amazing so the ranking is pretty hard. I'm glad you like the song! :D


Outrageous: A real shame to see this quite low. One of my favorites from In The Zone. I'll never get tired of this one! <3


The Beat Goes On: is, like Akini said, terrible. It should've left a few round ago already. Can't believe this made it further than epic tracks like Radar, Oops! and Outrageous! :(


You Got It All: Not bothered to see this go. It's quite boring and far from her best.


Soda Pop: Deserves to leave. Again, far from her best.


Gasoline: I like this song, but it's one of the worst on Femme Fatale. It's super generic and nothing special. I'm not sad to see this go. Good position for this song! :wink:


Trouble For Me: Was actually one of my instant favorites on Femme Fatale. The verses are lush! Quite sad to see this one go, although not as sad as some others that have already left! :(

What It's Like To Be Me Is such a great song. One of my favorites on the Britney album. Just like TFM, sad to see this go but not as sad as some other that have already left... :wink:

Some of my faves are starting to fall now, which is quite saddening. But I realize that it's only going to get harder, 'cause there are so many great Britney songs left. Props to you for being able to rank them. I think I wouldn't be able to rank her discography. It would take me like 10 years, if not longer lol! :lol:

Can't wait for the next results! :D
