Musically there wasn't inspiration, both albums are different (musically) to be honest.
But image-wise there was certain inspiration, when Britney released "Britney" she had a departure from her bubblegum sound, and started to be sexy and released "Slave" , etc . . . So Xtina as usual came second with an over the top forced sexualized image in "Dirrty" to compete with that time's Britney, and also trying to make look herself like "I'm riskier than Britney", "I'm dirtier than Britney", "I go farther than Britney". . . she was so childish back then
and the album is a mess, it sounds like an early Mariah Carey on crack with a rip off "M!ssundaztood's P!nk" sound , a f*cking mess, I totally understand why "Britney" sold more than that mess.
.. and then Britney released her flawless "In the zone" which was a truly forward thinking , creative, innovative album
The shade...let me put on my lenses

Without that song that album would have tanked.
Stripped really is an awful album full of fillers and average songs, Beautiful was really the highlight of the album.
beutiful is one of the best songs ever...
fighter is good
the voice within is good too
cant hold us down is good
i like dirty , infatuation ....
and i *could go on but its not the point
all these songs r not fillers ... ....
I need themed albums from Britney from here on out
1) Bubble gum new it good girl (BOMT)
2) Good girl with a wink (OIDIA)
3) Transition into a woman (Britney)
4) College years/ experimental (In the zone)
5) Burnt out/rebellion (GH: MP)
6) Out of control/girl gone wild self destructive (Blackout)
7) Comeback kid (collage of greatest strengths)/Girl anthems (Circus)
8) and then there is Femme fatale (Femme fatale)
For me its more like this.
1) The girl next door (BOMT): a regular teenage girl with the girl next door image that sings about love, loneliness, friendship, and first relationships
2) The pop superstar (OIDIA): the girl next door becomes a superstar, same bubblegum image but powered and reloaded with a more sophisticated look, perfect pop enviroment, and sings about girl power, playing with guys feelings, rejecting guys, and disadvantages of fame.
3) Sexy girly girl (Britney): represents a woman that discovers her sex appeal, is not affraid of using her body, and looking really hot, she is also very girly so she is all the time with nice make up, and perfect clothe, uses fairies and butterflies as image, and she sings about going out with girls, loving boys, puberty, and freedom.
4) The artist - self-control (In the zone): A popstar in control of her career, co-writes nearly every song, is involved in the production, and the entire album is under her charge, is not affraid of being experimental , adventorous, creative, and forward thinking, and sings about everything she wants.
5) Meltdown - the fall of Britney Spears (Blackout): it represents the immorality, irreverence, the darkness and self-destructive sick behavior, its an epic mess, she uses raunchy cheap image, and she sings about the exposure, the media, and endless destructive parties.
6) Conservatorship girl / Diva (Circus): It represents the soft of the image and sound, the cleaning of her life and body, and recuperation of her beauty, a more glamorous image is used with a softer safer sound that serves as a reminder to people of the pop star and diva she used to be, she sings about her life as an entertainer, the paparazzis, how the society perceives her, girl anthems, her kids, and pretty much about everything like a Circus.
7) Femme Fatale (Femme Fatale): It represents the current average woman, a woman that is not affraid of being on the dominant role and is not affraid to be the one who ask the guy out or for sex, she is a maneater, and she goes to the dancefloor to pick up guys and satisfy her desires in a very selfish way, she is seductive, sensual, and she sings about different types of sexual adventures and experiences on the dancefloor, it represents the current woman in control of her sexuality : a Femme Fatale.

I mean it's your opinion. I think mine is better but you don't count the GH:MP that was an important era in her career. It really represents the aftermath of what happens when you lose control (see what i did there MATM) and it's pre-blackout.

I mean to each it's own.
Yeah her "GH:MP / BINTM / CHAOTIC days" represent the rebellion of her career as well as the announcement of her fall .. she even predicted it on "Mona Lisa"
the only thing that I don't agree is that "Britney" represents her transition into a woman, there were several teen elements during that era, some of the songs were still teen-oriented, etc.
her transition into a woman was during "In the zone".
