What a huge disappointment. The song has zero melody - certainly doesn't come close to her best singles.

Sounds like one of those Cascada songs that are so annoying. Her fans have mixed opinions on this.

I love it because of the dubstep influence. She might be the first to bring it to the mainstream.

Hmm,let's see.....weak vocals,boring production,and no melody.It has all the makings of a Top 10 smash in 2011

I dig it.

I wasn't expecting a sonic masterpiece, but this unlistenable dreck? It's horrible. It sounds absolutely horrible.

What is dubstep?

It's music out of the UK. It's a branch-off from electro music. It's originated from Jamaican dub reggae.

Oh ok.

Ok, she's going for a tamed version of GaGa's sound, but the voice is worse and the charisma is 0%

I still can't believe that this woman managed to stay "relevant-successful" after 2005 and specially after 2007...

The unsinkable Godney Spears. She's like teflon.

I don't like it...I'm just not into all this electro pop anymore.

Sounds very Ke$ha.

Agreed.

I'm a little disappointed too. I thought that she was aiming for another Blackout based on comments from some of the producers and writers for the new album. I had only been a casual listener of Britney's, but Blackout made me a fan. I don't understand why her fans are fawning all over the place over this. It sounds just like everything else that's out now.

#1: ....Baby One More Time

#2: Gimme More

#3: I'm A Slave 4 U

#4: Oops!...I Did It Again

#5: Hold It Against Me

#6: Womanizer

#7: Me Against The Music
#8: 3

#9: My Prerogative

Yeah, Britney's team really over hyped her new music this time around.

So Britney Spears is about to bring dubstep to the mainstream. She's about to have another influential album under her belt.

I have been wondering who was going to be the one to bring it to the mainstream. Never would have guess it would be her.

love it. very catchy and she actually sounds so good in it.

Holy shit.

Real Time Update:

I'd assume when all is said and done, it should clear 400 spins for the day, maybe more if some stations premiere it at night.

Just for comparison:

I don't like it. Britney is kind of a guilty pleasure for me and I like a lot of her songs. But this for me, the beats are too heavy and cancel out any melody. It sounds more like a remix than the original song. I like her stuff that is a little more to pop side of things.

Me gusta

Meh.

Kinda underwhelming and I was kinda excited for her new album too.

Just cleared 500 spins on the FIRST DAY. It's a new record. Nice one Britney! I told folks this song would be a radio smash. It's right in the pocket in terms of billboard sound.

another horrible song by this woman and I've already heard it on the radio. I'm sure it will be a hit too. I can't believe she still has such a huge following

It's going to have a big debut, because it's Britney and she's coming off an album that was very successful at Top 40 radio.

Whether or not it has longeivity is another matter. I don't think this song is going to hit #1 at Top 40, like the first two singles from Circus did.

This is very generic. No surprise, though.
