Okay.
Saw the video.
(Britney Spears)
Aside from the fact that she can’t sing it better than the original, she canNOT make a video without it being a skin show.
Sometimes talent is enough, when it isn’t, show your body. :rolleyes:
blah
Dear, her body is her talent.
If she couldn’t have gotten a recording contract, she would probably done very well in porn.
Acting sexy in a video and doing porn are quite different. Britney sacrificed a lot to be where she is in her career. I mean, haven’t you seen the E True Hollywood Story? 
Seriously, getting upset because Britney shows skin is like buying a Madonna album and being offended that she sings about sex. You know what she’s about, so don’t watch it if you’re offended.
I am going to be a big doody-head and point out that Madonna hasn’t sung about sex since 1994.
Unless “put your hand on my skin” counts, and “nobody knows me like you know me” is referring to marital relations in some way that is too vague for me to comprehend.
Talented or not, Britney knows that millions of young girls want to grow up and be a trollop just like her, and millions of young boys well, AHEM, think she’s hot 
So, not unlike anyone else in the entertainment industry, she’s giving them what they want. Some provide talent, others booty.
In actuality, some performers have offered both-August Darnell, a.k.a. Kid Creole and the Cocoanuts served up catchy lyrics, good music, and the Cocoanuts weren’t hard to look at, either.
I hated the original song back when it came out. Remaking it with a blonde faux stripper hasn’t improved it any. That was a terrible period in pop music. At least nobody’s remade Fine Young Cannibals yet. shiver
Using sex to promote pop music?! Heavens to Betsy! If this isn’t one of the signs of the apocalypse, I don’t know what is!
And for the record, I think she sings it far better than the original, and if I had a body as good as Britney’s, I’d be showing it off, too.
Next single: Ice Ice Baby!
I heard her version on the radio last week and I liked it okay. It’s not a great song to begin with, no matter who sings it, and her schtick is all about writhing half-naked on the floor so what’s the big deal?
It isn’t like Avril Lavigne is covering “Purple Rain”.
No, but LeAnn Rimes did. Think of it and tremble!
That’s a pretty bland talent.
She should have gone with the proper pronunciation prerogative and copped a lame faux-British accent for interviews. Could have led to a week of press concerning her “new image” along with more comparisons to Madonna.
LeAnn Rimes has talent. Or did. No idea if she still does.
