I hate to say it, but this is — through no fault of Britney's — quite terrible. Giorgio's interpretation is a thunderous jumble of pounding kicks, slamming snares and some thoroughly obnoxious synth-work. It's a needlessly noisy rendering that is so jarringly at odds with the context of the source material — this is a song about isolation! Certainly it calls for a more refined, nearly minimalist, interpretation. Both the original (which should also be avoided) and the DNA remix capture a certain austerity that isn't present here, but is desperately needed.
But nothing negative can be said about Britney's contribution. She is perfectly adequate. QUEEN!
