4.0 out of 5 stars This Version of "Britney" gets 4 Stars!, June 6, 2003

By	Raine (United States) - See all my reviews

I gave Britney's regular version of the album "Britney" 3 stars, but this is such a good deal, I will give it four. I'm not a huge Britney fan, but it doesn't matter. My favorite tracks are "Overprotected", "I'm Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman (Metro Remix)", "Cinderella", and "I Run Away". The sad thing is that "I run away" is one of my favorites, yet it's not included in the normal version of her album. Sure it doesn't show much vocal range, but most of her songs don't.

With this album you get bonus tracks: "I Run Away", and remix's of "Overprotected", "I'm a Slave for You", and "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman". All of these tracks are better than there original version's.

The dvd includes many great features that include music videos for: "I'm a Slave 4 u", which features Britney getting hot in a club. "Im not a girl, not yet a woman", this video is very Earthy, with many costume changes. The song is not my favorite, but the video is beautiful. And "Overprotected", this video shows Britney and friends sneaking out of their hotel room, to party.

Also included is a 6 part interview with Britney. She reveals information about her, and music. It's nothing special, but there nice interludes between the videos.

And finally, the Making of Pepsi, and Lights, Camera, Action: Lights, Camera, Action is Britney dancing to "Overprotected", and the Making of Pepsi, is a 3 minute, behind the scenes look, with Britney.

This is a great two disc set, that will keep you listening and watching for over an hour. If you buy Britney's thrid album, this is the way to do it. If you already have this cd, get this version anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Successful metamorphosis, April 20, 2005

By	Pawel Kasa (Pablo Diablo) - See all my reviews

With her first two albums Britney Spears proved to everyone that throne of Madonna - The Queen Of Pop is in serious danger. And now with her third album simply entitled "Britney" it seems she can also take away the crown from Janet Jackson - The Queen Of R'n'B. After listening to this album I think it's a question of time.

This is expanded edition of this album, which besides all 12 songs from its standard version contains 2 from 3 brilliant bonus tracks from its Japanese edition, 3 very good remixes of album's biggest hits and DVD with her 3 videos, interview and Pepsi's commercial.

This album is a bridge between Spears' pop past and her r'n'b future because besides up-tempo pop songs written and produced by Max Martin, who is responsible for huge success of her previous albums which made her the biggest pop star on Earth, above all it surprises with completely brand new r'n'b sound. All because Britney's new producers Rodney Jerkins and The Neptunes showed her a new way of searches in music and wrote for her almost half of all songs on this album. It caused very successful metamorphosis of her music. Such big pop artists like Justin Timberlake and Dido also wrote some material. And even Spears co-wrote five songs.

All this album is very catchy and even its bonus tracks and b-sides are among the most marvellous things Spears ever did. Especially astonishing "Before The Goodbye" (available only on some of the expanded versions without DVD or on the alternate version with DVD) and "I Run Away", which along with "Cinderella" are definitely some of her best tunes ever. Other great songs are such r'n'b jewels like: "I'm A Slave 4 U", "Lonely", "What It's Like To Be Me" or "Let Me Be" and such pop pearls like: "Bombastic Love", "Overprotected" and beautiful ballad "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman".

Every fan of Spears, Madonna or especially Janet Jackson must have this album. Like always, it's full of great songs and so fresh production. This time you can choose either expanded version with 15 songs (without DVD and remixes but with all brilliant Japanese bonus tracks) or this edition (but either with ballad "I Run Away" or with dance masterpiece "Before The Goodbye"). So choose your edition and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oops!...She Did It Again, January 9, 2003

By A Customer

Ok, it's a fact that everything Britney makes is great!! But, this is the best! Sure, I had the original 'Britney' CD, but then I found out about the import and just had to get it. I recomend this for all Britney fans!
