Disco de Britney Spears: “I Love Rock 'N' Roll [Import]”

If you listen to the LIVE version off her Britney Spears "Live in Las Vegas" DVD that's a worthy cover of the Heart classic. But the studio version comes off too slow and boring if you ask me. It needs more pump, more energy, more attitude...all that lacks from this version. Britney Spears can sing, not with Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston (but she has a unique sound), but too much of the time I find myself going CMON!!

Oh my god, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Three of the greatest songs off Britney's new multi-platinum album, "Britney", are on this single in really great remixes!!!!

1. I love Rock 'n Roll - Great!

This CD is awesome and is totally worth the money...

The "Overprotected (Darkchild Mix)" was really the only reason I purchased this, because my Now 10 CD broke and I didn't have enough money to buy another, and I found this at a much cheaper price (probably because it's only a single). I found one more song that I kinda liked, and the Darkchild Mix that I had wanted. The rest I could careless for.

1. I Love Rock & Roll [Album Version] - D+ Very poor remake of the Joan Jett/Heartbreakers version. I guess you can take it or leave it.

2. I Love Rock & Roll [Karaoke Version] - (no grade really, I don't have a karaoke machine)

3. Overprotected [Darkchild Remix] - A+ Really the reason I got this single, because my Now 10 broke (sad face), and there was no other way I could get it.

4. I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman [Metro Remix] - B- It's an okay remix, not one of my favs though.

5. I'm a Slave 4 U [Thunderpuss Radio Mix] - F Horrible remix! Plus, I'm A Slaue 4U is such an overrated and stupid song!

6. I'm a Slave 4 U [Miguel Migs Petalpusher Vocal - see #5

7. I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman [Spanish Fly Dub Mix] - D Although I love this song, the remix ruines it.

Overall Grade - D If the remixes hadn't ruined it, it would have been an awesome single, but I guess you can say only buy this if you like the Darkchild Mix or I Love Rock N' Roll (which mostly everyone should hate considering it's a horrible remake). Stay away!

Joan Jett's original version of "I Love Rock'n'Roll" was without a doubt one of the worst songs of the 1980s. Her atonal, pseudo-macho vocals were one of most amelodic things ever to be heard on radio - though naturally with Australia's insatiable appetite for pseudo-macho posturing, it topped the charts here.

Now, teen-pop star Britney Spears, in a vain effort to make her image more mature, does a cover of Joan Jett's awful song - and makes it even worse than the original. It sounds as flat as the original did tuneless and atonal, and Britney carries no more feeling than Jett at any time.

Don't get either this cover of the original. Stay as far from pseudo-macho posturers as from teen pop.

This Is A European 4 Track Single, The Video Is Even Better Than The CD, I Mean I Love The CD, But The Video Is Way To Good, I Can't Believe That Britney Has Grown Into A Woman So Fast !

1. Album Version - Very Cool

2. Karaoke Version - If You Know The Words Sing It !

3. Overprotected (Darkchild Remix)- The Best Overprotected Remix

4. I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman (Metro Remix)- Very Good

This CD Is Defenetely Worth The Money,

I Love Britney Spears, I'm Her #1 Fan.
