I just see Britney for what she is. I think sometimes her fans read too much into her music when it's really not that deep. I appreciate Britney because she doesn't try to take her career by the horns and write and produce and direct. I know fans that choose their favorite songs based on if Britney wrote it or not. I think that's stupid as hell. If a song is good, it's going to be good no matter who wrote it. Of course that limits her from some awards, but honestly who cares? She has the sales to back up the power of her craft and doesn't have to pretend like she's something she's not. I love that about her... and I don't feel like I need to pay special attention to songs she took special parts in, or sings harder in. I'm only her for songs that are structurally satisfying.
I know DJ and producers that won't touch songs like Up N Down, 3 or Get Naked because sonically there is nothing you can really do to improve those songs. Big Fat Bass is just an amazing dance pop song with and insane beat, honestly simple lyrics and a catchy hook... To me, that's the kind of music I like from Britney. If I wanna listen to an artist who's going to blow my mind lyrically, I'll go listen to Regina Spektor or the Bird and the Bee. Hell, even Solange. If I want to listen to something that's all about the music then I'm going to listen to something more organic.
People can tell me I have ****** tastes when it comes to Britney music, but honestly my favorite Britney songs could all be played straight through at a club without mixing and everyone would be exhausted by the end of the night.
