Common Sense Note

Relentlessly suggestive, Britney's premature "Greatest Hits" album is predictable and instantly forgettable. You can use this CD to broach the subject of sex with your kids, or use it to prop up the short leg of the sofa.

Common Sense Review

Reviewed By: Kathi Kamen Goldmark

A couple of eleven-year-old girls we know recently voted Britney Spears "the celebrity I'd most like to throw eggs at" after a few minutes of deliberation in which Hilary Duff ended up coming in second. That great honor aside, Britney's new GREATEST HITS album will be a must for diehard fans, with its slick packaging and bonus CD of remixed hits. Everyone else will want to go out and buy an extra dozen eggs.

After only five years on the pop star scene, it might seem a bit premature for this young performer to have a "greatest hits" album at all, especially when all of her hits sound so similar. Her simpering, processed vocals and forced sexuality end up sounding sterile and tedious; not at all sexy. The musicianship and production are fine, deftly codependent in their efforts to cover for weak lead vocals. Madonna's cameo on "Me Against the Music" is reprised, of course, and Pharrell Williams provides a welcome vocal on "Boys." The songs themselves are absolutely and instantly forgettable.

The package is glossy and impressive, with an extra CD of bonus mixes and an insert packed with photos. Of course, the ubiquitous bellybutton is featured dead-center -- a perfect bull's-eye for aiming those eggs, gals. On your mark, get set...
