Britney Spears – Oops!…I Did It Again
13th May 2000
Up until In The Zone I liked Britney more with every album she released. Her debut had 4 great singles but the rest was pretty rubbish, her second, the one that featured this song, was far better, and I personally loved Britney the album (although it doesn’t seem to be that popular) and In The Zone, which produced three fab singles and held several more acetastic album tracks. However, since then I’ve not thought much of any of the songs Britney has released – Do Something wore off quickly, Someday was never on, although the new track And Then We Kiss from her remix CD does have more charm. It just seems a shame that someone who at one time could do no wrong, suddenly seems unable to do any right!
Oops was probably the song that cemented Britney as the princess of turn-of-the-milennium pop. She’d had amazing success with her first album so the pressure was on to continue it, and she succeeded magnificently. With the suggestion of Britney being “not that innocent” she retained the naughty schoolgirl idea of Baby One More Time, and she sensibly stuck with the jolly Swedes of the Cheiron team who had made her first album so fab.
