There're a lot of truly ace songs that are done in AWFUL fashions by bad artists and so never make it for me. On the other hand, production cannot save a non-song (cf. most work by the Neptunes post-first NERD album) and there definitely needs to be some kind of artist factor to most things.
I think the Britney album has a very significant artist/performance appeal to it- it'd only be "alright" if it wasn't Britney and contextualised, I suspect. I also think the songs stand well as songs, with production being something that could've gone any direction and happened to pick a very good one, although not necessarily the only possible good one.
Has there been a thread about the Kylie album incidentally? I think it's brilliant. There's something that sounds a bit like 'Oh What A Night' at the end.
