She sounds horrible on that clip. Besides that, the beat is kind of good, but nothing outstanding.
I can't see this be a smash hit because no one really seems to be interested in Britney any more and the Greatest Hits album seems like finish of Brits career.

It sounds alright so far. I do hate the backing vocals, however.
This clip is torturing me. I wanna hear the whole thing. LEAK, DAMMIT, LEAK! >:(

No one's interested in Britney no more? TOXIC was a #1 Pop hit, and EVERYTIME didn't do to bad either! Paparazzi and the public want to know EVERYTHING about her life. I hope "My Prerogative" is another #1 hit for her.

No one's interested in Britney no more? I was... I'm just not too excited for this song because A) I don't care for the original that much and B) bases on the clip, the back-up singing is so unbearable yet in-your-face. One thing it has going in its favor, for me, is the fact that it was produced by the same people as "Toxic."

Reminds me of a slower version of "Toxic". Actually, this reminds me of "Oops! I Did It Again", because with that song, Britney was cashin in on "Baby One More Time", and now with this song, she's cashing in on "Toxic". I think it's alright, but i don't think it will go to #1 because there is so much competition on the charts now.
My Prediction: #3

As I said in the other topic, I'm really disappointed by this song. The production sounds dated. And the guy singing in the background ("Tell me why") in the chorus is excruciating.

Am I crazy or does this sound EXACTLY like an old boyband song...Nsync or BSB-its like identical to some of their earlier songs.

This is terrible, it sounds so flat. The music is so computerized and lifeless. The vocals are boring.

I don't mind the backing vocals except when it's like "It's my pahrahgative."
The verses are REALLY lifeless. The chorus is really in your face. The whole song should be like that.
I really don't predict a big hit out of this. I'll go with #27.

Man, I'm still undecided about the song. The chorus is very infectious and has an awesome beat, but the main verses are kind of boring and bland. Although most of the song is computerized with vocals, there are some parts where Britney sounds decent. I'm not sure if radio's gonna like this song. It just doesn't seem to fit what they are playing at the moment. If I were to make a prediction, I would say 13. It will have a similiar run to MATM...maybe not quite the success. Overall, I'm satisfied with the song, but I'm not overally impressed, as was the case with Toxic.

What a freaking let down! I told you guys Cathy Dennis was the genius behind Toxic, not Bloodshy and Avant. When I first heard about this remake, I thought the production would be the strong-point and was so excited about it. Turns out the only good thing about this song are her vocals. She hasn't sounded so good since the Baby One More Time era. The production is beyond horrible - from the computerized backing vocals, the British backing vocalists, the weak beats, to the outdated instrumentation. Rodney Jerkins did better cover versions for her.
Prediction: 18
Both Boom Boom and Breath On Me would've had much more success if promoted properly.

I really like this, but hey I might be biased. I love how she toned the song down and went big for the chorus and her vocals sound fresh unlike on some ITZ songs. It shocked me because I thought the whole song was a big dance song like the chorus but I love how it turned out. I'd like to see this at #1, which most likely won't happen but I'd love top 5 too. Prediction: #9 Prediction with huuge publicity stunts: #4

I'm iffy. Like the instrumentation, the bridge especially, but parts of it are really annoying. I like it fine, but I was hoping to like it more.

I like it a lot, but not as much as I expected to. I agree that its run will be similar to MATM.
