Pitchfork's Top 100 Songs of 2011 (100-51) 
72. Britney Spears [ft. Nicki Minaj & Ke$ha] - "Till the World Ends (The Femme Fatale Remix)"
Quote:
"Till the World Ends" was already the best Britney single since "Toxic", an ecstatic Euroclub floor-filler about wanting to dance until the world ends and other important matters. Then they added the Nicki Minaj verse. In her 45-second evisceration, Nicki manages to squeeze in chicken noises and the words "poultry," "Epsom salt," and "Ricki Lake"-- not to mention the immortal diss "Sniff, sniff, criiiies/ I done slayed your entire ****ing liiiiife." (Fact: In 2011, pretty much any song in the world could be made infinitely better by the addition of a Nicki Minaj verse.) Sprinkle a little bit of Ke$ha, the song's co-writer, on the chorus, and you've got a three-headed diva Hydra that sums up the recent changing of the femme pop guard from airbrushed and perfect to (relatively) weird and chaotic. It's the year's greatest quickie cash-in remix created to boost the chart position of a floundering single. Considering the ubiquity of the practice, that's saying something. --Amy Phillips

TTWE is getting love from the critics. It's her most critically acclaimed single since "Toxic"
Now I'm more convinced that if the Grammys didn't have that new rule for the Dance categories then TTWE would have been the front-runner to win Best Dance Recording just like Toxic did it in 2005
I feel the exact same way. i dont get why other gurls get so much praise for their music and Britney always gets the cold shoulder. 
every previous era seems better than the current era. Personally however this was my favorite era since her in the zone era. I feel like we got something new almost everyday and Britney seemed really happy.
