I've gone for

Fave: In the Zone
Least Fave: Britney

I LOVE the 'Britney' album, but those last 3 singles are bottom 5 in that album for me! tearsmile.gif

BOMT & OOIDIA are let down by their final singles! If it wasn't for 'Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know' I think I would have voted for OIDIA as my favourite era for singles!

Yeah it should've been "When Your Eyes Say It" like it was planned
I still wonder if that rumor that it has a music video filmed is true

I've actually grown to adore I'm Not A Girl.

Overall BOMT and FF had a strong set of singles. Just wish they had release "I Will Be There" instead of "FTBOMBH" and "Inside Out" instead of "Criminal".
I still went with BOMT as the best era, 4 amazing single choices tbh.

Favourite: In The Zone ('Toxic' and 'Everytime' are my Britney top 2, I enjoy 'Me Against The Music' more than most, 'My Prerogative' was a genius cover, 'Do Somethin' I could take or leave but this has to be my favourite based on the strength of the other four)

Least Favourite: Britney Jean ('Work Bitch' is of course a bop, but I'm not keen on 'Perfume' and 'Pretty Girls' is terrible kink.gif)

Also you are missing "Outrageous" as an ITZ single

Posted by: Tafty Apr 2 2021, 01:31 PM

Oh yeah! Thanks! (It was all done via memory lmaoooo)

Yep, it really should have been 'I'll Be There', 'When Your Eyes Say It' & (although I'm not the biggest fan of it) 'Inside Out' over those respective choices sad.gif

Not a single song I dislike in the ITZ run. Love MATM, Toxic, Everytime & My Prerogative and I like 'Do Somethin'' a LOT and find it v underrated. Granted, I could take or leave 'Outrageous' but it's definitely the strongest of the weaker moments in the other eras (if that makes sense lmaoooo)

ITZ > Britney. If I didn’t like WB so much, I’d have voted BJ as my least favourite.

Posted by: Dré Apr 2 2021, 03:43 PM

I'm still annoyed Outrageous abruptly ended that era and stopped Breathe On Me from being released laugh.gif

Odd fact, but Anticipating was a single in France. Again, not the best choice from that album. I don't know what they were thinking that era... at least all the videos were fire

Posted by: Tafty Apr 2 2021, 04:22 PM

Yeah! The 'Britney' era was a MESS due to the soundtracks. sad.gif No idea why they pushed for ILRNR regardless of that though... was that timed with the VHS release of 'Crossroads' or something? I get why INAGNYAW was used to launch the movie as the main single though, so although I'd have preferred other singles, I understand why it was used though.

I probably would've gone:

01. I'm A Slave 4 U
02. Overprotected
03. I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman
04. Cinderella
05. Before the Goodbye (Europe) / Boys (US)

Best was hard to choose but I ultimately chose 'In The Zone'... For hardest I basically screamed "Britney Jean" at my laptop before reading the options.

Posted by: Liam.k. Apr 2 2021, 06:47 PM

Difficult deciding between 'Oops' and 'Blackout'. I rated each song out of 10 and got an average of 9 for each album. 'Oops' was let down by the last single which is nice enough but one of my least favourite Britney single; the first three are career highlights. 'Blackout' is much more consistent and 'Gimme More' is up there with her best too.

I think I'll go with 'Blackout', although the high standard of 3/4 of the 'Oops' singles is extremely high.

It's really hard to choose best one.. Least is definitely Britney Jean era even though WB is masterpiece imo !

Posted by: LondonN11 Apr 3 2021, 12:48 AM

It’s really hard to choose the best one because I think so many of the eras had such strong singles. I forget sometimes how many amazing songs Britney had brought out. Each era (apart from Britney Jean) had outstanding songs. I think I’m going to have to go Femme F though because I just love all of those songs. Circus & Baby one more time would have been very close seconds.

Baby just over Oops for me. All the singles are stellar (apart from FTBOMBH and DLMBTLTK, which are both nice enough). The Britney and ITZ singles are mixed bags for me and Britney Jean has easily the weakest singles!

The best eras : "Oops !" and "Circus".
The worst eras : "Glory" and "Britney Jean".

Posted by: Nick F1 Apr 4 2021, 09:11 PM

Best; The Zone + GH:MP
Worst; Britney Jean
