Dark for Britney? So she doesn't get to go shopping because her stiletto broke, right?

Holy shit this song is hilarious! That voice - it rivals Alvin & The Chipmunks in terms of sheer unlistenability (is that a word?)!

I also LOVE the truly introspective lyrics:

Don't have a breakdown, you will hit the freakin' wall.

Britney singin a big pop song - it's like the 2000 Britney is back.

I really thought she wasn't gonna do anything for 2005, but I guess when she needs a break, she really has to assert herself to have, like, 2 months off. shrug

I don't think her GH album sold too well, or at least what one would expect.....
So maybe she needs quick cash

Also i cant believe the people who believed britney was going to have a break or retire. She's too fucking young to have a break at this drastic turning point in her career. SHe needs to move forward

Yep and she's married now and needs to keep working and generating an income..she's got that classy husband to support and keep in gas station caps and wifebeaters, not to mention the added of expense of having to buy ciggies and booze for two!

falloff Thanks, Voices, that was truly horrid! And thanks for inventing a new word! "Unlistenablity" is something Britney has perfected, and this song is UNLISTENABLE. I didn't even get to the second chorus before I erased it.

Brit's version of "my perogative"was weak.I like "Mona Lisa".The live band feel is hot.Britney's voice is kind of scary.No offense but I really think she needs to look into a voice coach.It seems like the older she gets,the worse her voice sounds.Shouldn't it be the other way around?Anyway,Good look Brit,I hope you pull it together.

Platinum certification is based on units shipped to retail, NOT units sold.

And this song is hysterical! I'd agree with VoicesCarry that the "don't have a breakdown, you will hit the freakin' wall" is the best/worst part! I also like the Teena Marie-esque "oh nooooo!" from the previous verse.

There's a part about 3/4 of the way through where the music goes all church-like and it sounds like Britney is slurring Madonna's "Like A Prayer" while downing her 5th vodka shot in the back of a dingy Texas bar. That's a close second. You've got the churchboy choir going in the background, then Britney mumbles, "God?", trying her best to sound authoritative and interesting - what's not to love?

P.S. Britney has sold approximately 650,000 units of her GH set.

i like brit brit but i can say, at least at first listen, that this song is b-a-d...and not bad as in good but bad as in pretty f'n awful. hey voices...i thought the same thing regarding the "like a prayer" rip. there's no way it wasn't a direct rip off.

i really was hoping she'd take a real break for a while and figure some things out for herself. i can only say she's a dumb kid for so long...eventually i will have to say she's just...well...dumb.

This song is a fucking joke, you've got to be kidding me on this one?Now, I don't like Britters by a long stretch, but I've liked a few of her songs...Slave 4 U, Everytime, Outrageous, Boys, and I didn't think My Prerogative was all that bad. But, this is ridiculous.....her voice sounds so nasal. I don't see what's the rush for Britney to release albums as often as she does. She should have really taken that break while she had the chance, she's so overexposed & her career has become a running tabloid joke. The best thing to have done was to wait awhile until the public gets a break & maybe her comeback would be better recieved.
tho' I battled blind
love is a fate resigned
memories mar my mind
love it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
and laughed at by the Gods
and now the final frame
Love is a losing game
