5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful book for piano, voice and guitar, April 26, 2004
This review is from: Britney Spears -- In the Zone: Piano/Vocal/Chords (Sheet music)
It amazes me that such a stiff artist as Britney Spears, could write such meaningful words and music, as she composes half of this marvelous album. What shoscks me more is thaT "In the Zone," an album i did not buy until shortly after recieveing this book for one of my students auditions, is funner to play than to listen to. There are some truely wonderful arrangemnets on here, and the fact is this book is not "Britney Spears." No one can say they hate it for the sole fact that they hate Britney Spears. I am not fan of the Pop princess, but i'll tell you something, the absolutely stunning arrangement of Everytime composed solely by Britney could put you to tears if played properly. There is nothing i love more than good music, and i never thought i would say it, but Britney, you write some damn good music... It's just too bad that my favorite songs are the ones britney wrote that never went to single (save everytime), and it's too bad Britney will probably never get the credit she so whole heartedly deserves. Don't hate her cuase she can't write music, hate her cause she is the cuase of all sexual steriotypes.

well arranged, "In the Zone" is one fun play., April 22, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Britney Spears -- In the Zone: Piano/Vocal/Chords (Sheet music)
Britney Spears released "In the Zone" as a record, only finding lukewarm reviews. Yet, if you have a piano, you will find it impossible to stop playing these irresistable tunes. Surprisingly arranged, In the Zone is sometimes funner to play than it is to listen to. Some of the bigger hits off the album are actually the least playable. "Toxic," "Me against the Music," and "(I got that) Boom Boom" are the biggest hits, yet the least complicated of arrangements, while "Outrageous" is barely sheet music. The best arrangements are surprisingly the "forgotten" songs off the new album, the best being an beautiful arrangement of "Everytime," and a delicate version of "Shadow." Also the club ready "Breath on me," and "Touch of my hand" find great playablity. Jamacian flavored "The Hook up" plays well, while a bit repetative at times. "Showdown" and "Brave new girl" remain nearly as forgotten in this book as they do on the album, While "Early Morning" is a fun little piece that can be played with some jazzed up rhythm. With great arrangments, "In the Zone" is one of the best popular music books out there. For fans it is a must, and for music lovers it is a need.

How do you feel about bass lines?, December 8, 2006
This review is from: Britney Spears -- In the Zone: Piano/Vocal/Chords (Sheet music)
I got this book because I love the CD (I finally gave in to Miss Spears despite years of trying to resist her) and because I wanted to play 'Shadow' on the piano. Well, I was so happy to discover that the arrangement (of Shadow) is both simple (lots of similar chords and one note melody throughout the song) and pleasant-sounding.
