What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Britney's premature "Greatest Hits" album is relentlessly suggestive, 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.
What's the story?
Britney's GREATEST HITS: MY PREROGATIVE album will be a must for diehard fans, with its slick packaging, bonus CD of remixed hits, and insert packed with photos. Everyone else should spend their money and time on something else. 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. 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.
Is it any good?
Britney's 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.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about why so many young girls look to Spears as an example. And why does she feel the need to be so sexually provocative?

Great greatest hits CD...
Being a fan of Britney Spears, makes me somewhat bias, but I think this is a terrific collection. All of her best songs, with only one or two left out, I really have nothing to complain about...

Off for ages 11 and under; Iffy for ages 12 to 13; On for ages 14 and up
some tracks ("baby one more time", "oops i did it again", "toxic", "me against the music") are totally wholesome, when she was probably the best role model on earth. then she starts going bad and going like a bad role model. there are also words tossed around the album like "but i dont give a d@mn" ("my prerogative"), and "what the hell? who cares?" ("im a slave 4 u").

This is simply "Toxic", "Outrageous" and "Crazy"!
This album contains alot of inappropriate content, espically outrageous and boys-both of which are very inappropriate for anyone under the age of 15. Also isn't it just a little early for greatest hits?

Great dance pop
Yeah, so Britney Spears isn't exactly a talented, classy musician. But this CD is great. It has all of her funky, danceable hits in one package. The special edition CD case is amazing. It's a good CD to enjoy while working out. Sex is, of course, very iffy, theres a lot of the sexual innuendo that Britney is well known for. There's a minor profanity or two, but language is no issue. Social behavior...well, do we really want our kids to emulate Britney?

A terrific collection that sums up Ms.Britney's career nicely!
Sexual Content: "I get nasty" is as strong as it gets here in "Boys". The rest is just playful flirting. Depends on the child. Violence, Language, Social Behaviour, Commercialism, Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco: Not an issue.
Great CD! Iffy content for 8+. Yes, I said 8 plus. Great for dancing. I strongly reccomend her other albums as well, In the Zone, Blackout, and Britney.
