Posted November 9, 201410 yr clwLKJ294u4 So what did you guys think of this song and the video? Were you impressed, disappointed, indifferent? Did you expect the song to perform better on the charts or were you satisfied? Was it the best choice for the first single from ITZ?
November 9, 201410 yr Damn that video, THE killer, no one could have danced like Britney from those days (bye Janet) But seriously, in today's scene, there's no one who could match Britney's dancing skills. The song is decent, could have been better imo. The Rishi remix is flawless.
November 9, 201410 yr Author Poor Janet :lol: I still bop to Just A Little While, didnt deserve to bomb imo. I agree, the song isn't great, but the beat is fab and I think its a good introduction to ITZ. Deserved to better in the US, but when the charts at the time were dominated by R&B there wasn't much it could do.
November 9, 201410 yr Poor Janet :lol: I still bop to Just A Little While, didnt deserve to bomb imo. Where did that come from? :lol: I loved that track back in 2004, really deserved to do so much better. As for MATM, I really liked it at the time, not one I'd choose to listen to now really.
November 9, 201410 yr Amazing Amazing Amazing. The song that turned me into a HARDCORE STAN (I was only a basic fan until then). I loved it so f***ing much and I had zero pocket money back then so I actually asked someone to buy me the single for Christmas. I was so hungry for new amazing music. When they eventually bought me the entire album, I locked myself in my room for days and only listened to the album. I think I ended up losing a few pounds, too. So, THANK YOU Me Against the Music.
November 9, 201410 yr I'M UP AGAINST THE SPEAKER TRYIN' TO TAKE ON THE MUSIC IT'S LIKE A COMPETITION ME AGAINST THE BEAT I WANNA GET IN THE ZONE, I WANNA GET IN THE ZONE. Incredible. :wub:
November 9, 201410 yr Author Where did that come from? It came out around the time ITZ was out, so we would have to compare This Britney to That Janet I suppose ;)
November 10, 201410 yr Fabulous package. Britters and Madge work well together, the song is amazing and the video is perfect for the song as well. One of the most memorable music events of my adolescence.
November 10, 201410 yr i dislike it a lot, always tried to like it but it just won't happen, still not as bad as the hideousness that is 'slave' :puke2:

November 10, 201410 yr Didn't have you down as a 'Slave' hater, Jake! Most unimpressed. Been listening to it a lot recently and pretty sure it's my favourite. As for 'Me Against the Music', I've always thought there was something missing. The Kanye West remix is so good though.
November 10, 201410 yr oh yes, from day one i couldn't stand it. because it's ALL ABOUT ME what do ppl imagine my top 3 britney would be :o
November 10, 201410 yr ALMOST but not quite any, if you'd included 'boys' you would have been even further away
November 10, 201410 yr ALMOST but not quite any, if you'd included 'boys' you would have been even further away Oh Jake, you're killing me :'( I'm going to say you're a 'Lucky'/'Oops'/'Break the Ice' kinda gal. Seriously no idea
November 10, 201410 yr Would you guys have released MATM as the first single from ITZ? Yes. I still think it was an amazing introduction to the era, especially after the VMA performance. People talk about its lack luster performance as a single in America, yet she was still coming off from being shunned by Clear Channel radio. And at the time she was all album sales instead of being a singles artist. It still opened with sales close to 700k and Toxic served its purpose of what made the album sell consistently over the next year, along with Everytime.
November 10, 201410 yr It was either Outrageous (what Jive wanted) or MATM (Britneys choice). Toxic wasn't even in the running as a singles choice until Britney demanded it.
