Britney Spears Revealed -- vote in the poll
Spears has a new single on the radio, "Me Against the Music," a sultry video of the same just out on MTV featuring Madonna, and her fourth CD, "In the Zone," due out next month. She's doing everything she can to promote it, which means kissing Madonna at last month's MTV Video Music Awards and posing provocatively.

But as she has pranced and preened through her short, five-year career, Spears has gone from being a singer with a sexy image to being a sexy image who sings. And not all that well -- just try finding her real voice buried in the filters and overdubs on "Me Against the Music."

8. Not only could you not hear her voice
through all of the overdubbing and effects, but it also appeared she was lip-syncing rather poorly since none of the plethora of sounds eminating from the stage even matched up with what she was mouthing.

I guess it's hard to memorize a song when it's mostly just a bunch of inane, garbled junk.

2. I've heard that song
I'll admit it. I actually found it on the web, available as a free download. My curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to listen.

Have to say it really, really SUCKS! Even for Britney.

It loosely passes for music. Pure noise.

But tune in to any top 40 station these days, and it's a pretty meager lot with all that 'grunt rap'.

But at 35, maybe I'm getting old.

Am I turning into my parents?!?

3. you could call it a wide subject...
but this is ridiculous! ;-)

Is Britney doing nudes yet? I suppose when she's 35, she'll re-vitalize her career by learning to sing...who knows?

7. I got through the first 59 seconds of the video
Uh. Was there music in it? I just heard a lot of synth. Maybe there is something wrong with my ears...

11. Yeah, she sucks, but remember, on MTV, she sang live, Madonna did not
Britney can at least carry a tune, Madonna cannot.

Any Madonna fans out there wanna explain the attraction? I;m gay and I never liked her.
