Perfect Pop, 17 Nov 2004
I must say first, that I am not the biggest fan of Britneys. Often her voice, unless controlled can be too nasal sounding and 'effected'.
HOWEVER, this really is an outstanding greatest hits package, jam packed with dance floor fillers (such as 'Toxic', 'Stronger' and 'Crazy'), perfect pop ('Oops! I Did It Again', 'Born To Make You Happy' and the iconic 'Baby One More Time'), at times sexy (as in the Prince-ish 'I'm A Slave 4 U' and 'Boys') and gorgeous ballads ('Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know', 'Sometimes' and 'Everytime'). This cd also includes a duet with Madonna, the dance floor hit 'Me Against The Music' - Madonna's only single duet in her 21 year career, quite a coup for Britney. With a couple of new hits to, the best of which is an electro-pop cover of Bobby Browns early 90's hit 'My Prerogative'. The only weak moments for me are 'I Love Rock 'N' Roll', which to be honest isn't bad, just not worthy of inclusion, and the pleasant 'I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman' (which was co-written with Dido, though she remains un-credited). As for 'Lucky' this really is one of the most saccharine sweet pieces of pop I've ever heard, however, I can't help enjoying it.
This really is an excellent hits package, and one that must make fans of hers long to see what she will do next.

Pure Pop, 4 Feb 2005
If its easy listening, pure pop you are looking for then this album is ideal. I like many of Britney's singles, but not enough to want to buy her albums, so for people like me this is a great compilation. It has all of her big hits on it, and a couple of decent enough new tracks for those who are hard core fans. It is pure pop of course, and will do nothing to challenge the brain cells, but the songs are by and large very catchy and easy listening.The best songs on here are the more up tempo songs such as Crazy and Toxic, my personal favourites being Stronger and Overprotected. These are great singalong, dancelong tunes, perfect for a party. The weaker songs are mostly the ballads, which are a bit cheesy and sweet for my tastes though I am sure they would appeal to many, and Lucky which, although catchy, really grates after a while! The album also includes duets with Madonna, and a stronger duet with Pharrell from N.E.R.D. Britney has her own style, charisma and pulling power and this does come across very much in her songs, making this album a pretty enjoyable listen overall. I would say the album is particulalry worthwhile for those non hardcore fans like myself who would not buy Britney's albums but like many of her singles and enjoy a good pop singalong now and then!
