Britney sounds fantastic on this new sound. Me Against the Music is a classic urban house hiphop club song kinda thing. All the clubs I've been to play it or some remix of it and people are shaking their butts to it. It sounds great blasting out of my Benz too. The beats on this song are tremendous and though its a little crowded with Madonna and background singers, Me Against The Music is a great club anthem and really shows that Britney does have talent. And hey, its not even one of the best tracks on In The Zone...sop go out and buy the album cause it fits the who;le club thing too!! Madonna is a great addition to this song but again the vocals and production make for a kind of crowded song but hey its Britney and everything she does works! Rock on! LATE!

Both the cd-single and the album are really great, and there are way better tracks on te album and this is one of the best tracks on the album aswell as the video, and to tell you the truth the Rishi Rich's Desi Kulcha Remix is better than the original because the beat is better, and the remix is extended (4:29) so get both the cd-single and the album both great!

Oh dear, am I the only person who actually likes this song? I'll be honest; I wasn't expecting too, Britney Spears has often reminded me of a plastic Barbie doll, all assets and no talent.

However after hearing this song and watching the video I found that I had changed my mind, the song is clever and well sung. It also has a great beat, and the combination of rap, and mellow lyrics have me tapping my foot to it whenever I hear it on the radio.

I wouldn't say it's the sort of song you'd have playing all the time in the dance clubs but its great background music and therefore something different from some of the dross we are subjected to every day.

Madonna gives it a real added boost, the young with the experienced, both strutting their stuff and doing a pretty good job of it.

Britney is growing up and doing it her way. She might make mistakes along the way but at least she has proven she can sing and dance with the best of them and in the back stabbing, harsh uncompromising world of the Music Industry that is a pretty good feat...

How can a song featuring the seemingly invincible team of Madonna and Britney Spears only reach #35 on the Top 100? Simple - it's not a very good song. The song originally was recorded solo by Britney for her "In the Zone" CD. When Madonna decided to collaborate, Britney sent her the song to overlay her vocals. Perhaps as a result, the song is overly busy and quite forgettable - completely lacking a memorable hook or chorus.

The original (video) version is included here alongside 3 remixes. I admit that I bought this CD as a Madonna fan, and I do not like Britney much. Therefore, it's probably not surprising that my favorite part of the original song is when Madonna coos seductively - "Hey Britney, you say you wanna lose control. Come over her I got something to show you."

The Rishi Rich's Desi Kutcha Remix adds an exotic Middle-Eastern flair to the song, which is quite successful. The Peter Rauhofer radio mix is very similar to the original - too much so. The Mad Brit Mixshow is a mostly instrumental version that highlights a few choice sections of the song. Overall, "Me Against the Music" and its 3 remixes are rather disappointing, and I think that this CD will appeal primarily to hardcore Madonna or Britney fans.

Britney could have had her pick of songs from her 4th album - but she chose this one. It's a good song, but maybe as the second single off the album. Not the first. This single has been released in a blaze of publicity - not even "Baby One Time" could surpass the amount of publicity this has had. It started with Britney's now infamous kiss with Madonna at the MTV awards, and now their best buddies. But back to the song. I think Madonna drowns out Britney during this. Her voice comes through a lot more clearly than Britney's, and you'd be forgiven for thinking that it was Madonna feat. Britney, not vice versa! Madonna plays too big a part to be just featuring on the record. I've seen Britney perform (mime) this song on UK TV, and its missing something with Madonna performing beside her - Britney hardly sings and it shows. I've hard some tracks from the album, and they're very similar to this, except for "Breathe" - that sounds great.

A good song, but if I'd been Britney, I would have chosen another song instead of this one. Not a good choice.

britney is a good girl with this song stop bugging her crazy buffalos!

Sure 'Crazy' was mildly catching and 'Slave for you' had a nice beat but this song is the king..er queen of Britneys 'club worthy' songs. Not the original, so much as the re-mixes. These are all okay but the one they should have included was the Gabriel & Dresden Mix. I would normally never really listen to Britney but this re-mix is killer.

Britney prepares to take on the dance world and prove she's got what it takes to become this generations' Madonna -- so it makes perfect sense she inlists the help of the pop icon to make her first single from her much anticipated new release IN THE ZONE an anthem for the new millenium! Let me see you dance!

Well as we all know the single is great. The second mix i a faster radio edit which is aweome. The third track is a little longer but the beat is not as fast as the original. Overall a great single.

On paper, the concept is pure genius: Madonna, pop tart of the 1980s, teaming up with Britney Spears, pop tart of the new millennium. The collaboration could have been as titillating as the lesploitation kiss they shared at the 2003 VMAs. Instead, we get a generic dance single that's silly, boring, and goes limp faster than Britney's marriage. "Me Against the Music" stiffed on the charts upon release, and you can credit that to the forced come-ons and lack of chemistry between the two singers. In fact, the duet sounds so impersonal, Madonna could have very well recorded her vocals on an Mp3 file before FedExing them to Spears. "Hey Britney," goes Madonna, "you say you wanna lose control?" Well, if both singers lost a little "control" and got a tighter groove, "Me Against the Music" would be the killer dance tune it could have--and SHOULD have--been.
