Up N Down has been a 10 since it was released though.
It's Britney Bitch! The Britney Spears Rate - WINNER!!!
- Thread starter Holly Something
- Start date
Or maybe people simply like the album and would have scored it well regardless of when the rate took place. And besides, the "nostalgia boosting the scores" take could easily be applied to pretty much any of the albums here anyway, it's not like Femme Fatale is benefiting from that more than any of the others.

I unfortunately care too much about lyrics when I listen to most songs so I may be on my way to rate villain given the most recent elimination…

"Living legend, you can look but don't touch" immediately takes it out of the 1 zone.

Finally!
So did I. When I was looking at what was left on my spreadsheet (in album order rather than elimination order) I legitimately thought I'd just forgotten to mark it off the list as gone already.
I love Invitation, Hot as Ice and Up N Down phew. I do wish Cold as Fire was kept as the title so there weren't two tracks with Ice in the title on the same album #justlittleocdtingz.
Up N Down eats Trouble For Me, Big Fat Bass, Gasoline and maybe one or two others up on Femme Fatale and is definitely the best bonus cut from it.

'Up N Down' - 10. Love those stabby synths in the verse, which are ramped up even more in the chorus. It's a pretty dumb song all told but I can't help but get down.
Up N Down is such a rush and still feels current. Never got why they left it out. Listened to her Singles collection today and it would have made a nice second single for it.
It seems like it’s quite popular but Hot As Ice always left me cold as ice. It may be the worst song on Blackout. Which doesn’t mean much. Still a bop.

Even though I like Hot As Ice, I do think it's time for it to go. She sounds as if she's having a lot of fun recording it and, well... Not every song in this rate has that.
Basically this too.
But I'm really disappointed about Up 'n' Down going already though! I fucking love it and even though some songs on Femme Fatale are total slogs to get through, it's ultimately worth listening to them to get to those bonus tracks.
Shame on you!

Some albums are getting thin on the ground...
Something from the early days leaves now...

What U See (Is What U Get) is track 6 on Britney's second album, Oops!... I Did It Again. It was written by Jörgen Elofsson, Per Magnusson, David Kreuger and Rami Yacoub, and produced by the latter 3. A copyright infringement case was filed against Britney by songwriters Michael Cottrill and Lawrence Wnukowski, who claimed that the title and melody of What U See (Is What U Get) were taken from their song, What You See Is What You Get. Ultimately the case was dismissed by a federal judge who ruled that there was insufficient evidence that there had been access to Cottrill and Wnukowski's song at the time that What U See (Is What U Get) was written, and that the songs did not have enough similarities to prove copyright infringement.
My thoughts: This is a bop, and in an alternative reality I could've seen this being a single at some point in the campaign. The ad libs are really fun, it feels like Britney really lets loose on them. My favourite thing about it is listening on shuffle and then laughing at whatever comes on after "wouldn't that make a cool song?".
@boombazookajoe (7.5) One of her better album tracks that ape her singles sound. The outro/lead in to Lucky is dumb though.Something from the early days leaves now...

@blaze_dave (9) Seriously who did Britney wrong? Another pissed off Britney track, but luckily I love all these. Another classic bop. Let's just blame Jamie.
@Kaz D'Oerba (8.5) Another song that deserved to be a single, but sadly wasn’t.
@maikos87 (10) If I was to give an example of a 2000 pop bop, this would be it
@daninternational (4.5) So generically Britney, a weak effort Not as weak as this opinion!
@livefrommelbs (8.5) The way this is basically just Oops 2.0 and still manages to be an 8.5 - that's talent.
@Lost In Japan. (10) aaaahhhh…. Believe! MAY! You’ll be looking for trouble!
@AstronautMikeDexter (6.5) It’s bland.
@M24 (3.5) It somehow feels like a more generic teen pop number than Don't Go Knockin on My Door.
@WhenTheSunGoesDown (9.5) The way this song starts by kicking your door down and proceeding to punch you in the face repeatedly… powerful. What imagery!
@Jawshxx (10) What a fucking BOP. How this was never a single is beyond me. The way she tells, nay DEMANDS her man that she be respected. The life it gives me. The production is immaculate too, obviously.
@Guyhawke! (8) An early effort to reference the public’s perception of Britney and the sort of self-empowerment lyric that would come into its own during the ‘Britney’ era. ‘What U See (Is What U Get)’ is standard Max Martin fare at this point, but clearly Lady Gaga liked it seeing as the tour performance invented her entire ‘Joanne’ era aesthetic.
@Milotic (9.5) Always one of my favorites from this CD ever since childhood. Love how the end transitions into Lucky.
@BreatheBox (7.8) this album can literally be a singles collection if they wanted it to be
@Music Is Death (10) Now this should have been a single. Another perfect pop song from her if we’re being honest, and the lyrics are high-key extremely relatable, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that. This is one of her best album tracks and I will die on that hill if I have to. Better be top 20. Yikes!
No no no no no! This is pop perfection and should be waaaaaaaay higher!!!
he/him
In her top five album tracks tbh. You’re all monsters.
