Britney Spears Album: “Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (+ Bonus CD)”

This album is packed with popular songs that have made Britney Spears into the superstar she is today.

Despite her critics, Britney goes from strength to strength as her career rolls on and on. The proof is in the pudding. The fact her non-fans have to go out of their way and shout from the rooftops trying to convince themselves she's a fading star proves her star is still burning brightly.

She began recording for Jive records in 1998 and her debut single "Baby One more time" not only topped the America charts, nor did it only reach #1 the world over, it also became the best selling single the label ever had. Soon after her debut album became the best selling album they ever had and then she went on to become officially the all-time #1 selling artist on the Jive label.

All Five of her albums ("Britney," "Baby, One More Time," "Oops, I did it again," "In The Zone" and "Greatest Hit's") reached the top on Jive's weekly selling catalogue chart and four of them also went all the way to #1 in the national charts too.

This album is a summary of her hit singles. Highlights include "Toxic," "Everytime" and "Outrageous."

For the last time. And when I say she is wonderful, I really don't mean it, but she puts together great albums and the sound is incredible. For 5 years Britney has topped all the charts possibly imaginable. She has a great and unique voice which seperates her from other artists like her and better of yet, has compiled almost all her greatest hits(excluded is Don't Let Me be the Last to Know, From the Bottom of My Broken Heart and I Love Rock'n Roll(single in the UK, I believe, which is why it was left out). Though I think, it would suck to see her live except for the sexy dancing she does, oh, and to see her, she is probably the last artist I would tell someone to see live. But thankfully, this is not live and all these songs are a great showcase of what we remember her by, starting with:

My Perogative: 5/5 Who doesn't love this song? It is her best single by far. So upbeat, so great and hot!!

Toxic: 4.5/5 Her 2nd single off of In the Zone, which included her best video in the 5 years she was here. Who knows if she will come back, or if this is really the end... anyone remember Celine Dione's retirement? Man, what a retirement, oh wait, she is back again... darn. This song is so cool though.

I'm A Slave 4 U: 4.5/5 So sexy, I love it.

Oops!... I did it Again: 4/5 Anyone remember the old Britney? Up until yesterday, I hadn't heard this song in years. Well, two months ago I caught the end of the video, but that's it.

Me Against the Music: 4.5/5 A great 1st single from In The Zone, featuring Madonna, but I think she is past her prime and kind of destroyed the song. Please Madonna, if you stick around, do something good. But Britney can hold a song way better and that's why this is a good song.

Stronger: 5/5 Accompanied by a hot video and the song is by far her coolest. Amazing single!!

Everytime: 5/5 This song is so sad, and so incredibly beautiful. I love it!!

...Baby One More Time: 4/5 Oh my god, her first single ever. Now I know it has been ages since I heard this one. It brings back memories, well, not really, but it's a great song.

(You Drive Me) Crazy: 5/5 Her best song from Baby One More Time. It is so upbeat and cool

Boys(The CO-ED) Remix feat. Pharrel Williams: 4.5/5 I like Pharrell's voice on this, it makes it different then the original song off Britney. It's a cool song.

Sometimes: 3.5/5 This is probably my least favourite single that was included on this cd, don't know why, it just never really got to me as Everytime did. It's not even close to as beautiful as that song.

Overprotected(The Darkchild Remix)- 4/5 Cool, upbeat and fun, but not as good as the original version off Britney

Lucky- 5/5 Now this is a beautiful song. I like it so much, hurray Britney.

Outrageous- 5/5 My kind of music, well not really, but it is super cool

I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman- 5/5 Pretty, heard it way too much, but pretty.

I've Just Begun(Having My Fun)- 5/5 Unreleased and it is so fun. You have to hear this.

Do Somethin'- 2/5 Bla, do something about this track, no wonder it wasn't released before, still fussin over it being released now.

Bonus Disc:

Toxic(Armand Van Helden Remix Edit)- 4/5 Not bad, I like the original better though. It's cool

Everytime(Hi-Bias Radio Remix)- 5/5 Completely the best of the remixes, even better then the actual song. It rocks!!

Breathe on Me(Jacques Lu Cont Mix)- 5/5 8 min. of the hottest song that ever existed. I could play this over and over and even over again, it is so incredibly hot!!

Outrageous(Junkie XL's Dancehall Mix)- 5/5 Fantastic remix, she has good remixes of her songs.

Chris Cox Megamix- 5/5 Amazing finishing touches to a great remix cd, including remixes of the hits-Baby One More Time, (You Drive Me) Crazy, I'm A Slave 4 U, Oops!... I did it Again, Stronger, Everytime, Overprotected and of course finishing with Toxic. Overall, it's about 5 min. in length, a little less.

A great purchase for any Britney fan. I imagine this cd will top the chart for weeks, despite its massive competition at this time, I think Britney is the ultimate superstar. This is an amazing album, though personally, I don't really like her, her music is great and she is very sexy, so hands down to that and this is something worth applauding for. Definitely BUY THIS!

well, this is the same track list from México (i'm from that country), i bought this album the day was available (november 8) an well th songs are really good (i'm fan, hehe) anyway i don't know why "Don't let me be the last to know" is not included on the album, is a Hit, at least here in México all Britney songs are #1 this is my review:

1. MY PREROGATIVE (9/10) Amazing Cover! this song is very cool, i don't know why this song didn't have the success that everyone espect! but anyway was #1 in MTV México!

2. TOXIC (12/10) what can't i say about this song, it's the best song of Britney! i love this song, this is really a Brtieny Spears' Worldwide #1!

3. I'M A SLAVE 4 U (12/10) Damn it Britney! amazing Song, i love this song since i heard it on the Radio! for this song a became a Britney Fan!

4. OOPS! I DID TI AGAIN (8/10)well i like this song, i remember that a girl on my elementary school had the single and i heard it i just say "It's cool".....but IT'S GREAT!

5. ME AGAINST THE MUSIC (Feat. Madonna) (7/10) well, this song is SoSo, i don't like it that much as the others, i like the "Richi Rich's Desi Kulcha Mix" included on the album: "In The Zone", I HAVE TO SAY the Britney Version (without Madonna) IS MUCH BETTER!, I Don't Hate Madonna, i like her alot, but i don't like this song.

6. STRONGER (10/10) i think that this is the most longest TOP 10 song of Britney in México, this song was on the Top 10 for like 5 months or maybe more (i'm talking about Radio)

7. EVERYITME (8/10) the background sounds like a music box are very awfull!, but the lyrics and the Britney's voice are the best! this song was on "Los 1o+ Pedidos" (10 most Request) of MTV for mora than 80 days so, another Hit for Britney!.

8. ...BABY ONE MORE TIME (8/10) This song is cool, with a simple melody hit the world by surprise! and this song is a Pop Classic, so i don't have more comments about it!.

9. (YOU DRIVE ME) CRAZY - The Stop Remix! (10/10) this Remix es much better than the Original Version, this song was the reason that i bought the ...BABY ONE MORE TIME album!

10. BOYS (Co-Ed Remix) (Feat. Pharrell Williams) (9/10) i like th album version more than this version, i like to hear JUST Britney! but this version is very cool too.

11. SOMETIMES (9/10) another Britney Classic, i love this song since the 1st time a heard it, is very Romantic, and at the same time very happy and well this song got something that i don't know, it's very Cute!.

12. OVERPROTECTED (9/10) well the Mexican Version has a mistake on the backcover (it says "The DarkChild Remix") and this version is the album version, the album version is the video shown on MTV Latinamerica the Remix was show a few months later but didn't has success as the Original.

13. LUCKY (10/10) POPTASTIC this song is very cool, is one of my favorites, and the video (Directed by Dave Meyers) it's amazing!

14. OUTRAGEOUS (8/10) this is the only song that didn't has success, on the radio and TV no one knows about this song, just a very few.

15. BORN TO MAKE YOU HAPPY (11/10) This is my Favorite Britney Song i love it! but FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY BROKEN HEART was shown in México instead BORN TO MAKE YOU HAPPY i don't know why both are beautiful but this song is much better and the video is better!.

16. I LOVE ROCK 'N' ROLL (9/10) this song it's cool and this song was playin' while Britney was promoting her album and making show in México! i went to her 1st Concert was amazing!, THE 2nd Was Cancelled and alot of people went mad about 'cause she just sang 5 sings and went to her home, didn't made press conference for explain and anything!.

17. I'M NOT A GIRL NOT YET A WOMAN (7/10) another ballad without taste! i like this song 'cause is Britney not for the Lyrics and anything, but anyway this song was very successful in México.

18. I'VE JUST BEGUN (HAVIN' MY FUN) (9/10) this song it's very cool but this song it's very old, when i bough the USA version of the "In the zone" album in Wal-Mart in Houston, they gave me a download number so i donwload legally this song!.

19. DO SOMETHIN' (10/10) amazing song sounds like Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For?" but Better! i love this song and i'm very hapy 'cause this is the 2nd single from this Album, Britney made the video last Friday!

Well everyone buy this album you don't gonna regret it! o almost forgot, the Bonus CD is amazing too:

1. TOXIC (Armand Van Helden Remix Edit) (9/10)

2. EVERYTIME (Hi-Bias Radio Remix) (15/10)

3. BREATHE ON ME (Jacques LuCount Mix) (9/10)

5. OTRAGEOUS (Junkie XL's DanceHall Mix) (10/10)

5. STRONGER (Miguel 'Migs' Vocal Mix) (10/10) it's much better shorter!

6. I'M A SLAVE 4 U (Thunderpuss Club Mix9 (10/10) it's much better shorter!

7. CHRIS COX MEGA MIX (10/10) Amazing Song and this song it's an Radio AirPlay Hit Right now in México!.

The main disc is just as listed here with the extra tracks not on the US edition, but I ordered this version due to the different tracks on the bonus CD. I got some surprises. Here is the breakdown:

1. Toxic (armand van helden remix)--The disc's case calls this the "edit" but it is indeed the full 9 minute and 34 second version found on the US 12" single, not the 6 and a half minute edit found on the US bonus disc.

2. Everytime--the track listing is WRONG here on Amazon. This is not a Valentin mix. it's the same hi-bias radio edit from the US edition.

3. Breathe on Me--same Jacques Lu Cont mix as US bonus disc.

4. Outrageous--same Junkie XL Dancehall mix as US bonus disc.

5. Stronger(miguel mig's vocal mix)--this boring 6 and a half minute version is on the US CD single for this song.

6. I'm a Slave 4U--this is the FULL 8 minute and 46 second thunderpuss mix from the US 12" single, finally on CD!!!

7. Chris Cox megamix--same 5 minute version as on the US bonus CD.

Hope this helps all the collectors. It's worth it for Tracks 1 and 6 on CD, I'd say.

This has got it all. All her great singles! And the bonus disc which features remixes AND the real cool MegaMix.
