“I’m not a Girl, not yet a Woman”? It’s the only slow song on the CD, honestly. And it’s not the best, but it’s not horrible either.

And who can’t help but laugh when Britney shouts “I’m not a girl!” \<long pause\> … “Not yet a woman” ;\>

Actually, Kyla is talking about “Don’t Let Me be the Last to Know” off “Oops…I did it Again.” Of course, I don’t understand at all where the criticism is coming from, the video was excellent, from my point of view…

P.S. I think Britney’s been beyond blatant since releasing a video entitled “Hit Me Baby One More Time” where she masqueraded around mostly as a Catholic school girl. Not that I’m complaining.

I really, really hate to admit it, but I actually really like that song.

Its got great tempo, and slightly Prince-esque lyrics. I note the title - did he in fact write it?

I was wondering the same thing, but Britney did not say a word about that on the MTV special last week promoting the new album…

…um, I mean, uh…I HEARD someone talking about that Britney special on MTV and…

…oh…OK…dammit, you caught me!

FWIW, I really don’t like the song, but there is something about Britney that doesn’t really make me hate her. I liked several songs on the “Oops” CD. She seems to me like a pretty level-headed girl…I mean WOMAN…I mean not yet a woman or whatever…Damn this is giving me a headache.
