Early reports suggest this single might not even sell enough to make the top five, which is a great shame as I think it's a terrific piece of work. As so many artists are doing nowadays, "Boys" has been freshened up with a new remix accompanied by an attractive, sexy, not to mention, costly video featuring stars such as Mike Myers. The new version, otherwise titled "CO-ED Remix", features vocals from Pharrell Williams, best known from rock group N.E.R.D. Although his appearance was a good asset to the song, I personally feel he had too big a part and overshadowed Spears in aspects. The title "Britney Spears and Pharrell Williams" opposed to "Britney Spears featuring Pharrell Williams" was more appropiate in my view. It's a vast improvement on what was a bland album version, computeresque noises and, of course, Pharrell's vocals transform the track into an interesting, original tune.
On the B-side front, I was very disapointed. We're given an instrumental and album version opposed to any new material, remixes or even an enhanced section. This may explain partly why Britney's performance on the charts isn't how it used to be, decent B-sides make a good ingredient for a succesful single. In fact, if I hadn't bought this whilst in it's introductory offer I doubt I would've bothered.
Overall, a decent listen with slight flaws.

Boys is the new brilliant, smashing single of Britney Spears, without a doubt queen of pop music. Following the steps of 'Im a slave 4 U' Britney coutniues to amaze with a sexy , mature look which reflects on the song. It is released as the Neptunes remix, producers of 'Im a slave 4 U', 'Boys (Co&Ed remix)'. It has a rap rythm behind, britney with a more deep and mature voice gives an extra sexy meaning to the lyrics and featuring Pharrell which gives a greater rap taste to the song. It will hit the charts between 1 and 3 but im definite that it will go number 1 because the song is worth it and it has been given gret publicity. My advice is to go and buy it .....even twice! NO matter what the press says about Britney falling just aint true. Britney is back, stronger than ever, claiming with this song her righful place at number 1 and that she is here to stay. My advice...buy it!

This track, taken from the album 'Britney' has been remixed and vocals added, making it even better than the original version. The vocals are from the lead singer of N.E.R.D. also know as The Neptunes. The video to the single is great and features 'Austin Powers'.
Even if your not a fan of Britney the song will soon get you groovin'. I think it will do really well in the charts and should be number 1. So order or get your copy on July 29th.
