Yes, she did. Even if the title track's chorus is a blatant rip-off of the Barbra Streisand/Barry Gibb duet, "Woman in Love," it's still darn catchy--much more than anything from 1999's ...Baby One More Time (save the album's fab title tune, of course). With the rest of the 12 songs here, the teen queen pretty much delivers a remake of her last album. Songs like "What U See (Is What U Get)" and "Stronger" show Swedish songwriter-producer Max Martin in his element, churning out another and yet another slick smash with staccato synth beats and heavily overproduced melodies. But even at his strongest points, he can't bury Britney's voice far enough below the virtual guitars--and it's obvious this girl ain't no Celine. Except for the horrendous ballads, however, that doesn't make a stitch of a difference. The pop songs have all the qualities of memorable tunes--the choruses are clear and catchy, the beats are bouncy enough to make you shake your bonbon, and the singer is about as randy for love as Austin Powers is for a shag. Edit out the low-water mark--when Britney mutilates the Rolling Stones' misogynist anthem, "Satisfaction," by oversexualizing it with inserted "uh"s ("I can't get no, uh, satisfaction")--and you've got a hit-packed album that's as guilty a pleasure as reruns of Beverly Hills 90210. --Heidi Sherman

Pure Pop
This CD isn't going to blow you away with its depth of emotion or its lyrics, but it's not bad just as something fun to have on in the background. She is a much better singer than people give her credit for, but it's her own fault for choosing such shallow songs with no chance to show off her voice. If you listen to her ballads like "Don't Let Me be the Last to Know," you will see that. She's still not amazing by any means, but she's not the big joke others claim.
Britney's so lucky; she's a star, but she cry, cry, cries...
As everybody else has said; oops! Britney did it again... with her second album!
From the smash hits "Oops!... I Did It Again", "Stronger", and "Lucky" to the break-up songs "Don't Go Knockin' On My Door" and "What U See (Is What You Get)", Britney hits us another time with a great album.
In "Dear Diary" and "Can't Make You Love Me", she tells us about a boy she likes; not knowing if he feels the same.
If you like Britney or just want something to help you get over a bad rejection, buy this album.

better than her first album
ok, i got this album when i was only 12. i really like the album cover as well. those were the days when i had really like britney alot as a person. i remember listening to this more often....but these days not so much. the songs on this album are a lil bit better than her first. her first was bubble gum pop as it's best even though this album was like that too. talking about this album does give me good memories of 2000 when britney was at her peak. 2000 had a alot of catchy, memorable songs....Bye Bye Bye, the Real Slim Shady, etc.
1. Oops!...I Did It Again!- o god, i remember this song, this song was HUGE and it was everywhere... it was soo overplayed that it times it can be annoying. it was annoying as NYSYNC's "bye bye bye", another huge song. 4/5
2. Stronger-yea, i used to love this song. the video was pretty cool too. 4/5
3. Don't Go Knockin' On My Door-this song is one of my favs on this album. pretty cool song to sing along to. 5/5
4. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction-i like this cover alot. 5/5
5. Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know-have to be the most underrated singles she released. the song is really beautiful and soothing. 5/5
6. What U See (Is What U Get)-i like this song too. it's pretty sassy. i would listen to this song alot as well. 5/5
7. Lucky-this song was pretty popular as well. i remember enjoying this song. i really enjoyed the video as well. i think that this is the video where she looked her best. she had a really great smile. she kinda looked like marilyn monroe in that video. 5/5
8. One Kiss From You-an okay song. 3/5
9. Where Are You Now-a pretty nice, decent song to listen to. 5/5
10. Can't Make You Love Me- pretty sure that every girl can relate to this song, i know i have. i used to listen to this song alot. 5/5
11. When Your Eyes Say It- this song is my fav. it's really intimate and romantic. 5/5
12. Dear Diary-the lyrics is kinda cheesy and junior highish...but the melody is really sweet and adorable to listen to. 3/5
Great Music!
This is simply great music! Worth every penny and I can easily download it onto my ipod. Plus buying the cd is actually less expensive than downloading it from iTunes.
