Yes, she did. Even if the title track's chorus is a blatant rip-off of the Barbra Streisand/Barry Gibb duet, "Woman in Love," it's still darn catchy--much more than anything from 1999's ...Baby One More Time (save the album's fab title tune, of course). With the rest of the 12 songs here, the teen queen pretty much delivers a remake of her last album. Songs like "What U See (Is What U Get)" and "Stronger" show Swedish songwriter-producer Max Martin in his element, churning out another and yet another slick smash with staccato synth beats and heavily overproduced melodies. But even at his strongest points, he can't bury Britney's voice far enough below the virtual guitars--and it's obvious this girl ain't no Celine. Except for the horrendous ballads, however, that doesn't make a stitch of a difference. The pop songs have all the qualities of memorable tunes--the choruses are clear and catchy, the beats are bouncy enough to make you shake your bonbon, and the singer is about as randy for love as Austin Powers is for a shag. Edit out the low-water mark--when Britney mutilates the Rolling Stones' misogynist anthem, "Satisfaction," by oversexualizing it with inserted "uh"s ("I can't get no, uh, satisfaction")--and you've got a hit-packed album that's as guilty a pleasure as reruns of Beverly Hills 90210. --Heidi Sherman

1) PROPHETIC ALBUM TITLE [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Okay, if we're just going to sit back and watch Britney implode on the six o'clock news, let's at least make it interesting. The media. Her manager Luft. The authorities, judges, and shrinks. All the ones like you and I, that are just watching from the sidelines. We should at least get some bang for our buck.If I were King of Britney, I would feed her a fistful of Xanax and let her wash them down with a case of Red Bull. I would also put some crank and downers in her purse. I would give her the keys to a Humvee fully stocked with hammers, skill saws, a large sack of marbles, decorator chains, fireworks, a bowling ball, a bucket of white paint, and a Louisville Slugger. Then I would unleash her upon a seemingly unsuspecting public and film the action for Hard Copy, Inside Edition, and CNN. Before you get mad at me for making this suggestion, consider that the entire population is watching her self-destruct. And we're enjoying every minute of it. The underlying reason people go to auto races is to watch the car crashes.It's like a train wreck. You know you shouldn't look, but you can't take your eyes off of it.They took her children away. So, we won't get to see her eat them on some dark and stormy night. If only her music was as dark as her real life persona. (By the way, her dark side is very sexy.) If she survives, maybe she'll make the jump to Black Metal. It might kickstart her career in a new direction.How ironic is this recording?2) Great Sophomore Album! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Britney Spears second release, "Oops!...I Did It Again" struck accord with the year 2000 generation and will go down in history to be a classic album. 'Oops!' is full of catchy pop tunes about love, loss, fun, and for really the first time Spear's take on modern life (as witnessed in the tracks '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' and 'Lucky.)1. Oops!...I Did It Again - This was the leading single and by far one of the best songs on this album. The song has one of the most successful 'stuck in your head' choruses of all time as well as a modern beat and hip lyrics that all teens (even adults) can relate to.2. Stronger - Another hit single about a cheating partner and the singer's ability to move on because she is 'stronger than yesterday'.3. Don't Go Knockin' On My Door - A catchy tune warning an ex to not come around anymore.4. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - A remake of the classic Rolling Stones tune, with a few tweaks to make it a female version. Spears sings about the pressure from the world to try and create people into what they aren't for the sake of being popular.5. Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know - The final single from 'Oops!' tells a lover to be open and communicate their love for the singer instead of telling others how they feel.6. What U See (Is What U Get) - A great tune about not letting your boyfriend/girlfriend control you and the way you live. Very catchy and fun to move along to!7. Lucky - Very successful single. 'Lucky' is about a Hollywood starlet who has everything but love. A song that deals with the false belief that money and fame bring happiness.8. One Kiss From You - A tween love song about a special someone giving strength and hope with one kiss.9. Where Are You Know - A song about longing, wanting, and moving on after a relationship ends.10. Can't Make You Love Me - A rocky tune about how you can never make another person love you no matter how hard you try.11. When Your Eyes Say It - A ballad about how a lover's eyes express their love and devotion more than words.12. Dear Diary - A very simple tune about a girl's crush and hope to be forever with that 'boy'."Oops!...I Did It Again" is a great CD for adults and teens to enjoy together or apart. Britney Spears really showed her musical ability on this release.3) Pop star parasite [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Im so sick of this pop princess parasite and her lavish life issues with her dumbas* husband k fed and her baby on the news all the time. she's not only a hypocrite for just an image to the media but a bad neglectful mother with the incident behind the wheel with her baby. I just heard one song and I don't really need to explain it you all get the picture. Britney is nowhere talented all her songs are utterly useless garbage and she lip syncs through a machine that makes her rich and her image that makes her richer than ever.4) Britney at her best... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
...for those too scared to attempt to like or praise Britney for her career. This review is for you.If you allow yourself for one second to transcend the stereotype of manufactured music, this album will tantilize your ears. On this album, Britney does what she does best--give you booty shaking tracks, proclamations of looking for love, and gilr power anthems. but, isn't that what pop is all about.She never claims to be the next Diana Ross. hell, she doesn't even pretend to belt it out like Christina Aguilera. On this album, like the title suggests, she does it again. However, there's no mistake about it. And, again, allowing yourself to take pop with a grain of salt and realize it fgor wehat it is, you can actually enjoy the tracks.Some of my fave include: "Can't Make You Love Me," "Don't Go Knock My Door," and "Stronger." All songs which perpetuate that pop music at that time was all about asserting what it meant to be a teenaged girl--fun, fearless, and cool. So, alas, those of you who use her cuyrrent state of affaris to bash her entire career. It wasn't always so marred and shameful. She was, at one time, on topo of her game. And this album proves it!5) 3'5 Stars - She Did It Again [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Why change something that ain't broken?. "Oops!" takes off where "Baby One More Time ended, and that isn't strange since it was a huge success. It's basically the same concept all over again without being bad. Catchy pop for a younger audience, mostly penned by the Cherion guys with Max Martin and co then one Diane Warren ballad and the obligatory cover that is even worse then the last time. Either way, Britney was still good back then making music that suited her well and her private life wasn't a whole mess with marriages, head shaving, endless partying and other things I shouldn't mention here. Spears didn't have much impact on this album here either for good and bad, but co-wrote the closer called "Dear Diary".The opener "Oops!... I Did It Again" which is a standard Max Martin song was pretty good when I first heard it but got overplayed so bad that I couldn't stand it later on, either way it's not a bad pop song and it demonstrates that the same concept works all over again when an artist is popular. The song itself was a huge selling hit and reached top 10 in most countries. "Stronger" another successful single is simular, a catchy uptempo with irressistable hook. More of the same with ""Don't Go Knockin' On My Door" which was only a album song. Darkchild who also produced a song on her third album produced the embarrasing remake of Stones "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" and it should be skipped at any cost. "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" is her best ballad, but was only a hit in Europe, nonetheless it's a grower. More standards on ""What U See Is What U Get" followed by the best song of this album in my oppinion called "Lucky" which ironically reminds me alot about what happened to Britney Spears later on with it's hook "She's so lucky/ she's a star/ But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinkingIf there's nothing missing in my life/ Then why do these tears come at night". Next up is a song slow paced song called "One Kiss from You" which isn't that good really. A Max Martin ballad called "Where Are You Now?" is weak and doesn't have either the trademark sound or a good hook. More of the same with "Can't Make You Love Me" which is an uptempo Martin song. Diane Warren wrote the ballad "When Your Eyes Say It" which was no single but decent song in any case. Closer "Dear Diary" a teen-anthem was co-written by Spears but isn't among the better songs. On the European version 3 more songs appeared "Girl in the Mirror", "You Got It All" and "Heart".Overall, What more can I say that this is quite simular to her her debut album with more Martin compositions that are catchy pop songs. But it isn't a sophmore slump, it's just as good as her debut. No matter what you think of her or her music atlest it's damn catchy and the songs are better then alot of pop music these days with it's meliodic compositions and irressistable hooks. 3'5 stars to this album too. Props to Max Martin.Ps. I decided to review these old albums cause she's up with a new album this year and I wanted to go back in time and recall how she used to sound.
