Besides, "Womanizer" IS one hot ass tune, and that's the honest truth. And please, let's not compare this to Keeps Gettin' Better, they aren't even similar aside from the fact that they both have electronic elements, and if we are being honest, we all know that's more Britney's forte than Christina's. Furthermore, Christina could take a few lessons from Britney in delivering a memorable chorus. Does it show great lyrical depth, no, but it is a fact that songs like Womanizer and Gimme More are so effective because they have that incredibly catchy and memorable chorus that relies on repetition. What's catchy or memorable about Keeps Gettin' Better except the "super bitch" line?

I like this post for the most part, but I disagree with the "memorable chorus" argument. Christina's first cd and Stripped both fared better in the singles department than Britney's did. Britney's only had one #1 and Christina has had 4. Not to mention, Britney has yet to match anything as powerful as "Beautiful" (although Christina didn't write it). I just can't agree with you at all here. Repeating "womanizer," or making that ah-ah sound at the end of each line does not a chorus make. We'll have to see how the rest of Circus turns out, but I'm willing to bet if the rest of the songs sound like this it won't do any better than Blackout.
