Living in sin is the new thing

So what do we all think of Britney's new 'please-buy-my-greatest-hits' single?

(Also: you've got until tomorrow lunchtime to vote in Heat #8 of 2002)

I listened to it a month ago or so when people first mentioned it and I rather liked it! But I am easily pleased by Britters I guess. She's still banging on about s3chs I see... Wasn't it ever thus, though?

It's a bit flimsy TBH - like Ewan I listened to it a month ago but haven't felt any need to own (or 'own') it. There's an OK chorus, or an OK noise, or maybe even both not working together... can't honestly remember.

Damn, she doesn't make liking her easy. I mean, yeah, I like it but COME ON. Enough with the wordplay that doesn't work. "I am counting" -- yes, Britney, you are. PS, why didn't Lil' Wayne guest on this?

Someone is explaining to someone else in the YTube comments who Peter, Paul and Mary were - I'd assumed Bitsy was being metaphorical but now the lyrics are giving me unwanted images. :/

This'll work in the clubs tho...

I agree with the person who said here that she doesn't make liking her easy. There is not anything so trashy or so ignorant that Spears won't do for money. As if society hasn't gotten trashy enough. We don't need anyone making it more and more inexcusably slutty every chance they get. There are actual, TALENTED musicians and singers who don't have to stoop to being disgusting in order to get attention.

First Spears gives us 'If You Seek Amy Tonight' and now this song about 3-somes. There are millions of kids who get their ideas about how to live life from the entertainment-media culture. How many poor little unwanted children are going to be born into terrible circumstances because Spears does everything she can to try to make it seem like being a slut is the right way to live life. How many teens will get knocked up irresponsibly and bring an innocent little life into their messed up situation because people like Spears try to make is seem glamorous to be so ignorant and irresponsible? But then someone who puts her own baby's life in jeopardy by driving recklessly with the baby on her lap in the front seat can't be expected to care about anyone else's kids. This song is the same irresponsible old trash from Spears. This song should have been titled 'Living in Filth is Spears's Old Thing.'

Heard this for the first time last night on the radio. (At least, I assume what I heard was this one.) Thought it was quite good. I wasn't listening to the lyrics though.
