I don’t say that as a fan hell, to me, her past five hits or so have been rewrites of “Gimme More”. I dislike using the dreaded C-word, but I honestly think Britney managed to pull off a comeback. Tomorrow, the network will be announcing the winners of its #SmartBritneySpears contest, so stay tuned.Hello, and welcome back to Radio Rants. Schoolgirl Britney became one of the singer’s most celebrated looks.īritney Spears will be performing in Manila for the first time on June 15, 2017, at the Mall of Asia Arena. Britney: Live in Concert is presented by #SmartMusicLive. No one could figure out what the young singer meant when she sang “Hit me, baby, one more time,” but who cared? The song was light, fun, and danceable. Of course, the number one on this list is “…Baby One More Time,” the single that catapulted the singer’s career. “…Baby One More Time,” …Baby One More Time It’s a departure from her previous bubblegum pop image, but it’s a change that everyone welcomed. It has all the things that make a song distinctly Brit: sexy lyrics, breathy vocals, great choreography, and a hot music video. She proceeds to drive us crazy, we’re so excited, we’re in too deep. It’s here that she truly shows that she’s a double threat: she’s both a singer and a dancer. “(You Drive Me) Crazy,” …Baby One More TimeĪnother one of Britney’s iconic songs is “(You Drive Me) Crazy,” the third single from her debut album. After all, how can you top the success of her first album, which had the songs “…Baby One More Time” and “(You Drive Me) Crazy”? Oops!… I Did It Again, both the album and the song, proved that Britney is no one hit wonder, and can captivate audiences (even on Mars) with her voice, her songs, and her music videos. The sophomore slump is a challenge faced by creators who created a strong debut and must meet and exceed it in their second offering. “Oops!…I Did it Again,” Oops!… I Did It Again The best part? A dancing Britney wearing nothing but diamonds.

“Toxic” is unforgettable because of many things: the song has a great mix of drums, synthesizers, and guitars, matched with an incredible music video featuring Spears changing disguises. Ultra stans will notice that the lyrics “My loneliness ain’t killing me no more” is a direct response to the line “My loneliness is killing me,” released in “…Baby One More Time” from her last album. Her powerful vocals are perfect for the song’s message, which is about becoming strong enough to live life on one’s own. Like “Womanizer,” “Stronger” is one of Britney’s, well, stronger anthems. Her earnestness while singing makes you sympathetic and of course, sing along. “Lucky” is one of her strongest songs, and reveals a vulnerable Spears who is unhappy. Just take a look at “Overprotected,” “My Prerogative,” “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman,” and of course, “Lucky.” All these songs seem to share a common thread: she’s a young girl trying to grapple with sudden fame. In Britney’s early days, she had a habit of writing or singing autobiographical songs. The song also stands out because of its empowering message: Britney, and every woman out in the world, is not going to fall for playboys who have no plans of taking them seriously.

“Womanizer” has all the trademarks of a Britney classic: a catchy chorus, a danceable beat, and a sexy Britney doing a suggestive dance in the music video. This balance is what made Britney popular, cementing her name in the history of pop culture. What makes “Born to Make You Happy” curious is that it’s included in the same album that has “…Baby One More Time” and “(You Drive Me) Crazy,” but it further highlights how the singer can balance being a seductive pop sensation with being a girl next door. This song is one of Britney’s classic and unforgettable ballads. “Born to Make You Happy,” …Baby One More Time And come on, what can top the now-iconic phrase: “It’s Britney, b*tch”? Yes, she may have had her struggles, but this song signifies her return. Blackout as a whole is great and “Gimme More” is the cherry on top, featuring the singer’s dance-pop roots and suggestive vocals. Sadly, the media chose to focus on her personal struggles, even panning her live performance of the song at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.

It’s also her first album since her erratic behavior. There’s so much to love about Britney’s “Gimme More,” the lead single from her album Blackout.
