If you are a major fan or the princess of pop, dont bother with this horrible album. Sounding more like a drunk girl singing in a bar (and/or) at home karokee machine, every song lasks the enthusiam that only Britney can add. The music backgroud gives false hopes to the Spear's fan; for upon hearing the womans voice on the album, all one can do is cringe. Lowlights include Oops, Baby one more time, and Sometimes. This in no way deserves to have Miss Spear's name tied to it, save your money for the Lucky Single Limited Edition Part 2 thats supposedly coming out August 28th. It's going to take me that long to forget this sound emmiting from my bose speakers...

When I saw this album at the store I thought, Cute! I expected it to be various artists covering her songs in r&b, rock, rap, etc. Once I heard it, I was like wtf? First of all, it's only one girl singing every song in a boring monotone. Britney doesn't have the best voice, but she's a soprano compared to this singer. It sounds like my mom trying to sing a Britney song. The whole album is done with the same beats britney used. Not what a tribute album is supposed to be.

This Britney Spears tribute CD isn't too bad, but is still the worst CD since Pat Boone's "In a Metal Mood." The singer on this album sings like Dennis DeYoung singing like a woman. When I heard "Dear Diary," I could have sworn it was Dennis DeYoung or some strong-voiced softie (balladeer). Their version of "Satisfaction" is okay, but nothing compared to the versions by Britney Spears and the Rolling Stones; Devo still holds the record for the worst version of the song. All in all, if you're into people killing other people's songs, this CD's for you. But for people like me who wonder what these cover bands have been smoking, don't bother; stick with the Britney versions. I mean, **NOBODY** can sing "Dear Diary" better than Britney Jean Spears.

Are you all insane? How can you compare britney spears to janis joplin. The reviewer "a music fan" said that britney spears is much better than janis joplin. That is laughable, they are from two diffrent times, and styles of music. Janis joplin died at 27, that is right, but she was a strong woman, in a mans world. The time she was around, woman were not the thing in music. She made it possible, for woman to be taken serious in music. So dont compare Janis 2 britney, that is a joke. Britney never wrote a song, she has songwriters writing songs for her, she has only to go into a studio, and put he vocals over pre made songs. Remember that she had nothing to do with the music, or lyrics, of the songs. Janis wrote her songs, she had talent, britney doesnt. Britney is just another t & a shaker, without the looks, what are you stuck with? Just another singer.

Yuck, this doesn't sound anything like Britney, it is insulting thy would even release somthing like this. The girl who is singing sound like she just came out of a bar and has just one to many beers. Her voice sound horrible, like she recorded these in her garage and used the echo as her backup singers. All I have to say is this CD has flop written all over it. Buy the reall thing, don't waste your money on this pathethic voice. My cat's meow sound better than this girl's singing. This girl sings so bad they are afraid to tell us who she is. This album seams like it is one of "Eminems" sick jokes. This girls voice is so horrible it brought tears to my eyes and pain to my ears. They could just keep this CD, because it isn't anything I'm going to add to my collection any time soon. If you don't believe me, listen to the clips. I hope I was helpfull, go buy a good CD like Britney's or Mandy Moore's or somthing!

The artist on this could not sing. I can not believe someone would pay this women money to sing. Britney spears is very talented and the women makes her music look bad. If u like britney spears dont even think about buying this album. It is terrible.

Fine Britney Spears tribute album. The songs sound surprisingly good for being recorded without direct participation of Britney Spears. Most I like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know", "Lucky", "Born To Make You Happy" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy" .

This is one of the many so-called tribute albums coming out for artists/bands that have yet to establish a legacy and some hits that stand the test of time. At this point if Britney were to drop off, she might be remembered for Baby One More Time, Oops, I Did It Again, I'm A Slave For You and Toxic. These are her strongest hits as of December of 2004. However, it is way too early for these songs to be called Classics no matter how you put it.
Whether you think Britney has talent or not is beside the point. The Monkeys are just a TV band who sang to piped-in music but yet they have some songs that have gone on to be classics. Then you have your one-hit wonders. As I said if Britney were to suddenly disappear. She may be remembered as a no-talent, science experiment or Barbie Doll. Still she would have a part in music history.
It is true that tribute albums are for artists/bands who have established themselves a time-honored legacy. But it is also true that Tributes are done by other known bands/artists and not just some cover bands or singers who are not known or who are studio singers/musicians.
There are no "known" aritsts on this. If it were a tribute to Madonna, it still would not be a true tribute album because, while yes, Madonna is more worthy of a Tribute. It would be more of one if known artist such as -- oh...Britney, Gwen Stefani, Dido, and other artists of today were to do it.
This is not a tribute album in the sense of a true trubute album. It is simply a cash-in.

For anyone out there who doesn't get it--this album is a joke and not to be taken seriously!
If it were for real Madonna would've been the one singing on this album because she can really belt out the tunes and she's Brit's biggest fan.
My advice is that if you like Britney then forget this "album"!!!
If you don't like Britney then you'll probably enjoy using the album to make fun of her.
Either way it's a waste of money and time.
I gave it 1 out of 5 stars because there was no choice for 0 out of 5 stars--whichn is what it really deserves!!!!!
