Hurt > Listen >> Everytime.

And the BTW shade

Hurt>Everytime>>>Listen

LOL @ people trying to discredit britney and everytime.

Not every ballad has to involve shouting you know.

It's all about emotion.

Preach it sis!



Everytime by far, Hurt is good but that's about it. Listen is a flop. Why is that song even on the poll, I just can't. Better replace it by Run (Leona Lewis)

Once again, people in here show how close minded they are when it comes to talent.

"Hurt" is a beautiful & touching ballad but I really wished she'd have kept it subtle instead of screaming like a banshee on some parts. The end is absolutely breathtaking and, coincidence, it's also the softest moment of the entire track.

"Everytime" comes straight from the heart, no pretense, no belting, nothing to prove. I really applaud the fact she trusted the intelligence of her public, and it payed off since it's the most successful out of the three choices.
Every word is carefully pronounced as if things could fall apart at every moment, which is what happens when you're heartbroken. It's extremely difficult to convey that kind of feeling in a song and it would be refreshing if more people could admit that instead of constantly obsessing over belting, screaming & screeching.

Everytime.

Shouting and hitting hight notes is not what a good ballad is about.

Even when some of you do not agree "Everytime" is a great ballad, and it's the prove you don't need to have an amazing vocal power as Aguilera, good lyrics and a good melody are enough to make you feel a song, I'm not a fan of Britney Spears but I know how to recognize when a song is great and when it isn't

If I had just one more chance, I would tell you how much that Iv missed you since you been away... - HURT
