Posted January 14, 201510 yr Time to take it way back to Brit's debut album, and discuss her 3rd single, Crazy. What are your thoughts on this uptempo track, and its dancetastic video Q4VK9_CfOLQ The song smashed hard pretty much everywhere, during the late summer/autumn of 1999. Edited January 14, 201510 yr by Euphorique
January 14, 201510 yr In my top 10 Britney songs, I love it. Always helps me get through the hellish walk to college each morning.
January 14, 201510 yr FLAWLESS! I remember it playing everywhere and it further fueling the Britney craze at the time!
January 14, 201510 yr Author I love Brit's look at the beginning of the video with that hairstyle and the glasses <3
January 14, 201510 yr It's one of her best early ones, an eternal classic. On more than one occasion I've heard this on a night out (gay bar/club, obviously) and gone nuts to it.
January 14, 201510 yr I love Brit's look at the beginning of the video with that hairstyle and the glasses <3 Yeasss. And that iconic green tube top. The nineties summed up in one video. Also, gotta love Melissa Joan Hart. Was she as huge overseas as she was in America?
January 14, 201510 yr Yeah, Sabrina The Slaying Witch was definitely a plus. An TV icon of that era joining the music icon of that era.
January 15, 201510 yr Yeasss. And that iconic green tube top. The nineties summed up in one video. Also, gotta love Melissa Joan Hart. Was she as huge overseas as she was in America?Definitely. 'Clarissa' and 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' were MAJOR talking points of school whilst I was growing up, and always pop up in nostalgia talks with mates now! :wub: Particularly the latter! This song is absolutely fantastic. One of the best pop tracks at the turn of the decade! The video is iconic too! The "STOP!" moment in the video is iconic in itself!
January 15, 201510 yr Flawless song, still so enjoyable to listen to 15 years later. I remember being a bit surprised that it only~ got to #5 in the UK, it deserved a higher position than that. 02 - 01 - 01 - Eiffel 65 - BLUE (DA BA DEE) 1 - NEW - 02 - S Club 7 - S CLUB PARTY 1 - NEW - 03 - Shania Twain - MAN! I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN 05 - 02 - 04 - Lou Bega - MAMBO NO 5 (A LITTLE BIT OF ...) 1 - NEW - 05 - Britney Spears - (YOU DRIVE ME) CRAZY 02 - 03 - 06 - Bob Marley Vs Funkstar De Luxe - THE SUN IS SHINING 03 - 04 - 07 - Vengaboys - WE'RE GOING TO IBIZA 04 - 06 - 08 - DJ Jean - THE LAUNCH 02 - 05 - 09 - Paul Johnson - GET GET DOWN 03 - 08 - 10 - Lolly - MICKEY Mambo No 5 though. (I actually loved that song at the time, oops...)
January 16, 201510 yr Wasn't the album selling pretty decently? Still, it should've done so much better, especially considering the follow up and fourth (!) single Born To Make You Happy managed to make the top spot.
January 16, 201510 yr It was! If I worked it out correctly from the chart run, the album was at #19 in the same week the single reached #5, and bar one week it had been constantly within the Top 20 since its release. I wonder if people buying the album around that time were disappointed to discover that 'Crazy' on the album wasn't the same as the mix they were hearing on the radio? Heh. What do you guys think of the album version of '(You Drive Me) Crazy' by the way? Loving you means so much more, more than anything I've ever felt before!
January 16, 201510 yr I MUCH prefer the remix, it gives it that same epic feel that BOMT had. It also doesn't sound near as dated as the album version. Remix - 10/10 Album Version 8.5/10
January 16, 201510 yr I love the album version but the remix is far superior for everything Tyler stated.
January 16, 201510 yr f***ing amazing. One of her absolute best for me and I can never ever refuse a good singalong to it :wub:
January 16, 201510 yr this was the song that cemented my love for britney, the song is the epitome of brit for me. an utterly utterly fabulous song :wub: not even the presence of melissa joan hart could ruin the video <3
