Reviews Customer Reviews for Greatest Hits My Prerogative      REALLY Great Greatest Hits Albums      Rating:      Whereas many artists now put out Greatest Hits albums that are full of songs that are really nothing more than a collection of songs that were released to radio. In Britney Spears case, nothing is further than the truth. All of these songs are great listens. Most were very hot on the radio and on the music video stations. This collection encompasses everything. From the breakout song "Baby One More Time" to the more recent hits of "Toxic" and "Outrageous." If you have been a casual Britney fan for years, then this collection will contain all of the hit songs you know and love up from her first four albums.     Customer Reviews for Greatest Hits My Prerogative Cd      Britney Spears rocks      Rating:      i bought this CD when it first came out and i listened to it so much that i actually put this on my wish list on here to buy a new copy when i can since i outplayed my first copy...anyone who puts down Britney Spears really has no business even reviewing her music CDs since if you hate her music then why did you buy her CDs in the first place?...this is a collection of her greatest hits as well as a couple of added new tracks...a lot of her songs speak to my soul and/or heart as well as some get my energy levels pumping...i love her music and cannot wait for her new CD of "Circus" to be released next month Note to the Britney haters: there are forums and sites to voice your dissing of her or any other celebrity on the planet if you have the need to do that in your life but reviews is not the place for it! Editorial Reviews for Greatest Hits My Prerogative Audio Cd      Amazon.com      In the six years since her debut CD ...Baby One More Time set Billboard charts a-trembling, Britney Spears has pried open pop music's rusty cage and sprinkled her sex-kittenish fairy dust around like long-overdue disinfectant. She has also arguably done more for the neglected navel than Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé have done for the derrière. But despite her well-earned reputation for boldness (to which releasing a greatest-hits package after just four discs can only add), Britney calls it quits at making claims about her vocal talent. And that works in her favor. Because while My Prerogative is an exciting and even at times superb record, its merits lie almost exclusively in each track's production. From the Abba-esque choruses of her earliest hits ("...Baby One More Time," "Crazy") to the twitching, pulsed-up grooves of 2001's "I'm a Slave 4 U" to the technified bleeps and swizzles of 2003's self-skewering "Outrageous," the pop princess proves she's been largely content to let her in-studio performances take a back seat to the rhythm. With beats as consistently good as the ones she's managed to recruit, though, it's hard to blame her. "Toxic" and "Me Against the Music" mash trance and hip-hop into the mix, and the three previously unreleased joints don't shrink from sliding headfirst into new sound, either. The Bobby Brown cover and title track stomps and bomps to a bared-teeth backdrop, and "Do Somethin'" creates such dancefloor urgency it should come with a siren. "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)" treads two steps shy of crossing the Britney-bred boundary between sexy and raunchy, but fans will hope it's autobiographical anyway. For detractors the song--and the disc as a whole--should signal a long wait till the party's over. --Tammy La Gorce
