Britney Spears new song

The power of Britney Spears is pretty incredible, it's not an amazing song by any stretch... yet it's #1 on iTunes in 15 different countries in less than 24 hours. Madness.

I'm sure it will be another big hit.

[cristochango]

It's great

I don't like it at all. It's so average that it sounds like it could be by any of the top artists right now.

It's not bad but I really don't like the type of house beat sound that starts the song. I don't like how so many pop songs these days have this sound in it, it makes all of the songs sound really similar and it really doesn't even sound that good.

[MacMan]

What's really deflating is if you hear the demo version sung by the girl that wrote the song (you can find it on youtube),the music is identical, just the vocals are different... Brittany probably worked on the song for like 20 minutes laying down a vocal part... now it's hers.

I heard the first 4 seconds and that was enough for me to turn it off.

I loathe Britney Spears so much. Minus "Toxic."

Meh. I really can't be bothered with modern music anymore.

[mezzoforte]

I'll always kind of root for Britbrit, but this song is not grabbing me at all yet.

I really have to be in a certain mood to listen to modern music. It can be fun at times, but it eventually blends together. I'll choose anything from the 70s/80s over modern music. Many pop tarts today don't even write their own songs and it's such a shame.

Britney Spears kinda makes me sick to my stomach. Some of her tunes are fun to dance and sing along with, but she's basically a sex object that's marketable. There's not a whole lot of substance.

Agreed. I've never been a huge fan of Britney's music myself, but one thing I've always noticed is in this world of constant, sub-par, corporate pop trash being spewed out all the time, Britney seemed to stand out and have superior quality. She doesn't write a lot of her songs and she has never been some musical genius, but she has always had catchy songs with a unique voice and production. This song however just seems really generic. Vocally, production-wise, everything. If I heard this on the radio, I probably wouldn't have even noticed it was Britney.

I like the dubstep-sounding breakdown near the middle, but I agree with the 'generic' statements otherwise.
