I am very much a bigger fan of Miss Spears ''Grown up'' music, Blackout and beyond, but her older songs are timeless and will be forever enjoyable, this collection gives you exactly that, her ''best of'' her early work, while giving you a glimpse of what's to come with the couple of new tracks. I recommend this over The Singles Collection, cause you really wanna listen to Blackout (and maybe Circus too, depends how your taste is) in it's entirety.

The only missing songs are Anticipating and Breathe On Me, i understand they weren't hits, but easily some of her best songs from back then.

Never a Britney fan, but impressed by the sound

I picked this up because, first, Amazon had the mp3 on sale for real cheap, and second, Richard Thomson once did a brilliant solo acoustic cover of "Did It Again" in an interview I heard. Mostly when the name came up around me it was someone citing her career as somehow being example number 1 of what was wrong with the music biz. What I hear in these songs is that a lot of time and talent went into the sound, the production if you will. It's really smooth and has a lot of interesting musical bits all fit together perfectly. It's only in the few slow numbers where things break down for me, like it's trying to make me think it's gotten all moody and confessional and I don't believe it for a moment. But the next song will be another celebration of dancing and flirting and making out and we can forget about all those troublesome real feelings again, and surely there is a time and place for that.

Britney's "Greatest" Singles Collection

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2004

Verified Purchase

After listening to this CD, I realized that this was more of a collection of some of Britney Spears' greatest singles than it was greatest hits. If it were just focused on her greatest hits, all of her songs would have found a place on this CD in some way. Missing are "From the Bottom of my Broken Heart," "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know," "Born to Make You Happy," and "I Love Rock and Roll." The odd thing is that they are included on the "Greatest Hits" overseas, where they were all released as singles. The U.S. version of this album, in my opinion, was cheated out of at least one or two more songs.

The "limited edition" bonus CD seemed a little out of place as well. Instead of getting a sampling of her entire career, most of the songs chosen are from her "In the Zone" era. I would have liked to have had a remix of "Oops!... I did it Again" or "Baby One More Time," or perhaps even "I'm A Slave 4 U." Instead, the remixes included are for the songs "Everytime," "Outrageous," "Toxic," and the unexpected one, "Breathe on Me." The good news is that these are said to have never been released before and all are above average in quality. There is also a "Megamix" by Chris Cox that does span the entire 5 year career thus far but seems almost too short.

Those are really my only complaints about the CD. What I really enjoyed is that all the tracks sound better than ever. Some of these may have been remastered and even if some just went back and did a touch-up on some of the vocals and background beats, it make a world of a difference and enhances the sound. I am glad that someone decided to include the video-version of some of the songs. For "Sometimes" it is the (Stop! Remix) that made me wonder why we didn't get that sort of quality on the first CD. Finally we have the "Darkchild" remix of "Overprotected" even if it is only the Radio Edit. I couldn't tell much of a difference though.

As for new songs, there's the given, "My Prerogative" that sounds more like a statement being made than a controversial song it was marked up to be. Spears did say she was planning on taking two or so years off of her career to deal with her life and family. She plans to return and reivent herself and her sound (Madonna's influence perhaps?). "Do Something" makes me wonder if this is the new direction she wants to take. It's a great song! I was surprised by how different it sounded. If you didn't know it was Britney singing it'd be easy to mistake it for a Gwyen Stefani track. The vocals are very different and the sound is very fresh, nothing like it is really out there. She also curses in it (the F word can be picked out). This is definately a break for Spears who seems to stay "in the safe zone" for the most part. "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)" was a favorite track from the "In the Zone" era that didn't get put on the CD but was offered as an extra or download from many places. It definately is a great song and it was a hit on the Internet for Spears. "Outrageous" was a fun inclusion as well since it has to be one of Spears' more interesting and catchy tracks. It was produced by drama king R. Kelly after all, what would you expect?

This CD is fun and even with it being so short compared to other countries' releases, I'd still recommend it. It'd be a nice gift for a fan or for someone who's been interested in Britney Spears or the pop scene. Not all the songs on here can be considered "pop" in my opinion but this is a good sampling or start for someone trying to get into Britney's music.

High-energy music great for singing and dancing along...and as a "best of," you can listen straight thru w/o skipping tracks

Bad parenting/decision-making and emotional/mental instability aside, Britney Spears is definitely a hit maker. She, and everyone involved in the production of her projects, really know how to create a fun, pop-y product. Britney's work is like the junk food of the music world, but I love junk food, mixed in w/ more "nutritious" fare in my musical selections.

I love listening to her music in the car, particularly when I'm stuck in traffic (I live in L.A.), but even when the road is open and clear, the drive goes more quickly and is more enjoyable when I can sing along w/ the artist, and even do a little chair-dancing or head-nodding. This kind of music is also excellent for when you're having a little trouble getting started on tasks like cleaning, and as working to a rhythm is often preferable for me, food prep/cooking is made more lively w/ Britney's music.

GREATEST HITS: MY PREROGATIVE is a fun compilation of the best tracks from her multiple albums, where you can listen straight through w/o skipping tracks. There are a few new tracks added, as well, including an energetic and sexy cover of the Bobby Brown hit, "My Prerogative." Britney may not be the kind of artist who can sing well live, and isn't someone who seems to be dedicated to her craft as a musician, but her music is of the production-oriented variety, anyway, so none of that affects my love for this album...it's fun and light, and music so infectious that it gets you singing and dancing couldn't be all that bad, right?

I will say say this is a fantastic playlist of all the Britney songs and I will say the songs are brilliant and if u are a Britney as I am you would all probably say that. There are even too many songs to go through it. But I do have some things to say about this album. First of all if u only like the earlier Britney music this is for you as it was released in 2004. But if u like her later music and only a bit of her early music you are better off getting singles collection or the two greatest hits albums that were released in 2012. My next issue is that all the song excluding I have just began having my fun. There are so many fantastic Britney songs that aren't on this cd such as I will be there, I will still love you, soda pop, beat goes on, don't go knockin on my door, satisfaction, boom boom, showdown and breathe on me just to name a few. I know there are 20 songs on this cd but in deluxe edition, on the second disc instead of remixes you could put songs that were'nt singles. Overall fantastic.

I only bought this CD for one song and that was Everytime. One of the most beautiful songs ever despite it being a sad song. Just can't get in to the rest of the CD. The songs are horrible. I wouldn't suggest this unless you're a real Britney Spears fan.

The album has a Hell of a lot of bite and holds up even now amongst newer contenders for the Princess of Pop. It's got a great range of tracks, will get you in the mood to dance and at this price you'd be silly to miss out especially if you're a Britney fan.

Grab it up!
