Britney Spears, at her BEST!, 25 Jul 2004
I had this CD in my stereo for almost 2 years, as it's so infectious and addictive and it's Britney's best album to date. "In The Zone" can never top this absolute gem!! "Oops.. I Did It Again" is very much an album filled with sweetness, uptempo hits that are summery, partyish, feisty and filled with funk, RnB attitude. The major themes arising from this album are very much about growing up, teenage life, teen angst and some of the tracks: "Lucky," "What U See, Is What U Get," "Stronger," "Girl In The Mirror," "Can't Make You Love Me" are very comforting and self motivating. The feisty, edgey, attitude tracks on here, "Oops," "Stronger," "What You See," "Can't Make U Love Me," "Satisfaction," "Don't Go Knockin" are great to listen to when you're in a bad mood, as they really relax you and get you singing along in a hurry! I love the way you can relate to many of these wonderful tracks!! With this album, each song has been produced amazingly well with accuracy, quality and intricacy, so you won't find any fillers here. Her debut album, 'Baby One More Time' was released just over a year before 'Oops I Did It Again' was unleashed, and had already managed to shift a whopping 20 million copies worldwide!! That says it all! The album commences with 'Oops!...I Did It Again' (10/10). This one's vivacious with Britney's brilliant esque, and old skool charms; it peaked at No.1 in the UK. The choruses and verses are likeable and the overall song has traits of 'Baby One More Time.' The Titanic bridge, halfway through the song is a bit annoying though! Nevertheless, a great, classic, playful track about an untrustworthy lover who isn't ready for commitment. Track 2 is Stronger (10/10*). This dark, energetic, fierce pop track is one of Britney's best; it features her trademark funky, catchy beats and brilliant, metallic vocals. Max Martin does this track justice & the chorus, lyrics and music arrangement are powerful and mind blowing. The overall essence to the song: "..i'm stronger than yesterday, now it's nutin butta my way, my loneliness ain't killing me know more" is great and inspirational. Don't Go Knockin' On My Door (9/10) is Track 3. This is a funky, R'n'B geared slick track with Britney's slice of feistiness and funk. This one is about telling that person: "don't go knockin' on my door, gotta stay away for sure." Great bouncy, (Destiny's Child, Bills, Bills, Bills) sounds and funky lyrics. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (8/10) is Track 4. Britney adds feisty ingredients of pop and RnB to the Rolling Stone's original wonder. Her vocals are great and the song has been produced well. Track 5 is Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know (7/10). A dreamy, sweet, uplifting, romantic ballad, which has been produced by Shania Twain's husband, Mutt Lange (Breathless, The Corrs). Great warm lyrics and Brit's vocals are smooth, as if they're honey coated. Track 6 is What U See (Is What U Get) (10/10*). This wild, beastie stomper is another classic Britney-esque pop tune with the trademark beats and traditional metallic vocals. The beats are heavy and the essence, "if you try to change me, you'll be looking for trouble," is inspirational. The song is infectious and you'll be singing along to this one in a matter of a few listens. The album continues with Lucky (10/10); Track 7. A sweet, uptempo pop tune with Britney's famous musical constituents. It's about a famous actress, who has it all but "cries in her lonely heart." Great vocals, lyrics, meaning and very contagious and memorable! Love this one! Track 8 is One Kiss From You (8/10). This is a lazy, bouncy summers' pop song, which is very relaxing and cute. It's quite like a funkier version of From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart. Where Are You Now (9.5/10) is Track 9, about romanticising over an old lover and wondering where are they, what have they found, etc. This is a beautiful, calm, sweetheart, breakthrough ballad that really showcases Britney's full vocal range. Can't Make You Love Me (10/10) is Track 10. Britney gets back on track, doing what she does best with this infectious pop gem. Produced by pop wizard Max Martin, it features melodic beats and a great vocal arrangement in which Britney sings about life as the superstar and that she can't make someone love her. If you listen carefully, it's very much in the style of "You Drive Me Crazy, stop remix". When Your Eyes Say It (7/10) is Track 11. This is a cute and mellow, mid-tempo pop ballad about a loved-up Britney! A romantic track, with great violin and orchestral background music. The string arrangement is brilliant. Girl In The Mirror (8.5/10) is Track 12. This is another mid-tempo pop gem about how Britney sees a distressed girl in the mirror - before realising it's her. Love the cute lyrics, which bring teenage angst to mind. Dear Diary (6.5/10) is Track 13. This is the shortest song on the album where Britney sings about a teenage crush. A sweet, lullaby sounding song. The song was co-written by Brit and they're not the best songwriting lyrics ever but it's a great, first attempt from Britney! Britney's second album Oops!...I Did It Again is a must for Britney fans; fans of pop and RnB. Oops!...I Did It Again is the the biggest selling album of the 21st Century and rightly deserves so, purely because it's amazing! I hope you buy and enjoy it!!

Britney trounces the competition once again! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !, 23 Dec 2001
By A Customer
I've had this album since it's UK release date on Monday 15th May 2000 and it still stands as one of my favourite albums ever!!! This album's sold 15 million since that wonderful day. 8,350,000 of that was sold in the US. And it's easy to see why with top tunes such as Lucky, Stronger and the title track Oops!...I Did It Again. Oops!...I Did It Again is a fantastic album packed to the pants with poptastic, catchy tunes laced with 2 or 3 soothing ballads and entwined with a little RnB and Rock.Oops!...I Did It Again - (10/10) When this was released on 1st May 2000 it became Britney's third No.1 following Born To Make You Happy in January 2000 and ...Baby One More Time in February 1999. It was definitely Britney's strongest single since ...Baby One More Time. With the Titanic speaky bit in the middle, a catchy sassy chorus and the super cool video that accompanied it, it was inevitable that it would be No.1 Stronger - (10/10) As soon as I heard this song it became my favourite Britney song ever!!! I was so angry when it only made No.7 in the UK chart on 9th December 2000 because it deserved to be No.1 instead on Eminem's crap Stan. Stronger is a really powerful track with a dark video. Don't Go Knockin' On My Door - (10/10) This is the only RnB tune on the album and has a really good effect and suits Britney's voice amazingly. It has a really cool beat and makes a great performance at a Britney concert. Check out the cool talky-bit at the end! (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - (10/10) This is the real stand-out track on the album. The only rock track on the album. A cover of the Rolling Stones classic produced by Rodney Jerkins, this would have made a fantastic hit single as the last released from this album, but instead we had to put up with... Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know - (8/10) This is Britney's most unsuccessful song to date making a dissapointing No.12 in March 2001. Why on earth did she release this? Alright, it is a good song and Britney's best ballad, but it stopped her run of 7 consecutive Top 10 hits in the UK. (What U See) Is What U Get - (10/10) This is a really fab track that would also have made a great hit single. You can't really describe the sound of this song but is sounds like ...Baby One More Time and (You Drive Me) Crazy. Lucky - (9/10) The second single released from this album on Monday 14th August 2000. It would have got a higher placing than No.5 if it hadn't been for Spiller's Groovejet chart battle with Victoria Beckham's Out Of Your Mind. The song is a little irritating in places but once you listen to it, you can't stop singing to it! One Kiss From You - (10/10) This is a really cool laid-back track and one of my favourites on the whole album. It reminds a lot of a summer's day on the beach. Where Are You Now - (6/10) This is the worst track on the album. Although this meaningful ballad shows off Britney's amazing vocal range, it is very depressing and would make a horrific single! Can't Make You Love Me - (10/10) This is the last up-tempo track on the album. It would make a good single. You should really make the most of this song as you prepare to enter the deep void of ballad-land and Britney's first attempt at writing a song(!) When Your Eyes Say It - (8/10) Another sickly love ballad about how much Britney loves someone. 'Nuff said. Girl In The Mirror - (8/10) As with Lucky this is another mid-tempo tune about looking into a mirror and seeing...another girl looking back. Dear Diary - (9/10) And so we finish this album with the first song that Britney has ever written. Not a bad attempt. But why does it have to be so short and repeat itself so often? All in all this is a brilliant attempt from Her Royal Highness, Britney S., Princess of Pop. The album really hots up near the start but cools rapidly near the end. It's no where near as good as her latest offering, Britney which is a masterpiece of a classic in the making.

good and long lasting!, 7 Nov 2001
By A Customer
i have this album for more than a year and i'm still enjoying it! it has a lot of good songs in it, and i think it's better than her debut. the fast good songs are: "oops, i did it again" "what u see" and my favourite "can't make you love me. "the slow good songs are: (there aren't many b.t.w) "girl in the mirror" and "where are you know". and about "don't let me be the last to know"... BLAHHHH! why did she release it anyway? but exept this one, the album is good and solid youth pop. well done britney.
