Editorial Reviews (supplied by Amazon.com):

Debbie Gibson never recorded anything as sexy as Britney Spears's white-funk smoker "...Baby One More Time." Unfortunately, neither does the 17-year-old Spears's debut album contain anything else that remotely approaches that instant hit single. A few of the disc's cuts are pleasantly catchy, but too much of its space is given over to icky ballads ("E-Mail My Heart"?) and other unconvincing moves such as the dancehall-lite "Soda Pop." --Rickey Wright

1) Pop that hurts   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Okay, I get it. In an age when everybody was rich and everything was shallow Britney gave prepubescent upper middle class white girls yet another reason to think that they were better than everybody else. She hammered out a bunch of three-minute radio quickies with a bunch smarmy sexual innuendos and zombified dance moves thrown into the mix for maximum commercial viability. If you were of the right age, you felt so freaking cool when you listened to her, because she made the simple act of passing a note to the cute boy three desks over seem like an act of rebellion, and because she made you feel like such a tragic heroine when the boy invariably ignored you, because you listened to crap like Britney Spears. Maybe if you'd bought that new Creed CD instead...Britney Spears became an icon because she represented an entire generation of cheap sentiment and musical insincerity. And it's not that I don't like pop music- It's just that I prefer it when pop music actually conveys some sense of excitement or emotion, when its sexuality is raw and cathartic rather than annoying and exploitative. I'd also enjoy it if the singer wasn't awful. Britney Spears sings like she has a wad of Saran wrap jammed down her throat (oh, if only...). At times, it seems like she doesn't even know a word of English, and simply managed to learn the lyrics to these songs phonetically. Now, it's not that you need to have a technically "good" voice in order to be a great vocalist. The important thing is passion, excitement, and honesty, right? Well, Britney doesn't have any of those things. She sounds as fake and plastic and utterly empty as the glorified mannequin that she is. Here's a little clue for you all: Remember the "Baby One More Time" video? Yeah, if you have actual musical talent, then there's really no need to turn yourself into something more ridiculous than the average fifteen-year-old boy's masturbation fantasies. Which leaves us with this really unpleasant collection of songs. Britney's debut is stunningly, stunningly annoying. The music is dull, watered down, and cheap. It somehow manages to strip R&B, soul, and pop of their good aspects, leaving us with a dull mishmash of worthless nothing. And then Britney makes it worse by singing. The biggest three songs (the title track, "(You Drive Me) Crazy," and "Sometimes") are the most offensive simply because they make the strongest effort to be noticed. The other two singles ("From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart" and "Born To Make You Happy") are more gratingly melodramatic than anything else. And then you've got the dull funk rip-off of "Soda Pop" and a song called "E Mail My Heart," which is every bit as cheesy and dated as its title implies. So, maybe we should all listen to that blonde fellow and just leave Britney alone.

2) Good Sales Matter   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
For all the bad reviews, i'm amazed that Britney sold enough CD's to mass-produce "...Baby One More Time." I'm sure those aren't ALL just the hollow voices of the unloved haters in the world. A few of them simply have no musical taste buds. This was one of the best bubble gum albums i've ever heard. Not as good as Jackson Five but right up there above any Osmonds, Partridge Family or N'Sync album. Britney's the hottest thing since Marilyn (Manson, not Monroe!) so leave her alone and get a life already.

3) Pop Confetti. 3.6 stars.   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
When Britney came out, she was a white Chick, w/ some Attitude, definitely could carry a decent tune, had the Body and Voice of a Black Girl in Training, and was so Adorable and Had a very Love-able, All-American personality...Where that All Went??! Not sure. Her lead single of of her (5th?) Studio album, is Gimme More, CD aptly titled, Blackout. I wouldn't pick that CD Up, if My Mom or Aunts tried to buy it for Me. The single is Bouncy, Un-cleverly written and demanding some attention, but I could care Less about it!! I'd think of Someone, Who wanted it, and Within an hour, the CD would be out of My grubby paws! That hour, would be aptly used, to write A Review up on said CD: Blackout. But We're Not Here to talk about Her current shortcomings of 2006-2007, We are Here to Discuss ...Baby One More Time (1999).There are Definitely a Few Keepers Here. Maybe 4: ...Baby One More Time, arguably the best sound on the disc, with an Enticing Video, feat. a Hot, 15/16 year old, Naughty yet Lonely School Girl, Just out for some Fun. From the Bottom of My Broken Heart, a sugary-sweet, confectioner's sweet-like sugar, syrupy ballad, with My favorite Britney lyrics: "Loneliness up Ahead, Emptiness Behind; where do I Go??", I Will Still Love You and The Beat Goes On, a Sub Par, but passable Dance-Pop track. It would Have Been a Moderately Successful single, that's for Sure!3.6 stars.

4) Let Britney BE!!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Ok, I for one support Britney, I think she's someone that was thrust into the spotlight at a young age and was never given the chance to really enjoy her adolescence. I think this girl is fully capable of turning her life around and the media needs to LEAVE HER ALONE and allow her to do it. ROCK ON BRITNEY!! I'm can't wait to hear the new album!!!

5) baby one more time is the only good thing on here   [Rating: 2 out of 5]
i love britney and i love her music, songs, e.t.c. but as the Amazon review ponited out the song titles are even cheesy and the only song of quality is "Baby one more time." seems like brit and producers wanted to create one hit and put a bunch of garbage. 2 other songs are ok. but thats it, just ok.
