I Love Rock N Roll / Overprotected / I'm Not Reviews:
I Love Britney Spears...but not "Rock 'N' Roll" 
2005-09-23 - If you listen to the LIVE version off her Britney Spears "Live in Las Vegas" DVD that's a worthy cover of the Heart classic. But the studio version comes off too slow and boring if you ask me. It needs more pump, more energy, more attitude...all that lacks from this version. Britney Spears can sing, not with Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston (but she has a unique sound), but too much of the time I find myself going CMON!!
I Love Rock 'N' Roll [Import] ~ Britney Spears 
2005-04-06 - This is an atrocious song, but Spears makes it much better. Joan Jett can not sing all that well, Spears on the other hand does it justice and turns a really bad song into something that is quite good. I love what Britney is wearing on the cover and she looks amazing as always. She is such a tallented artist...
One...maybe two good songs. The rest is crap
2004-12-28 - The "Overprotected (Darkchild Mix)" was really the only reason I purchased this, because my Now 10 CD broke and I didn't have enough money to buy another, and I found this at a much cheaper price (probably because it's only a single). I found one more song that I kinda liked, and the Darkchild Mix that I had wanted. The rest I could careless for.
1. I Love Rock & Roll [Album Version] - D+ Very poor remake of the Joan Jett/Heartbreakers version. I guess you can take it or leave it.
2. I Love Rock & Roll [Karaoke Version] - (no grade really, I don't have a karaoke machine)
3. Overprotected [Darkchild Remix] - A+ Really the reason I got this single, because my Now 10 broke (sad face), and there was no other way I could get it.
4. I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman [Metro Remix] - B- It's an okay remix, not one of my favs though.
5. I'm a Slave 4 U [Thunderpuss Radio Mix] - F Horrible remix! Plus, I'm A Slaue 4U is such an overrated and stupid song!
6. I'm a Slave 4 U [Miguel Migs Petalpusher Vocal - see #5
7. I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman [Spanish Fly Dub Mix] - D Although I love this song, the remix ruines it.
Overall Grade - D If the remixes hadn't ruined it, it would have been an awesome single, but I guess you can say only buy this if you like the Darkchild Mix or I Love Rock N' Roll (which mostly everyone should hate considering it's a horrible remake). Stay away!
Worse cover of an awful song 
2004-07-10 - Joan Jett's original version of "I Love Rock'n'Roll" was without a doubt one of the worst songs of the 1980s. Her atonal, pseudo-macho vocals were one of most amelodic things ever to be heard on radio - though naturally with Australia's insatiable appetite for pseudo-macho posturing, it topped the charts here.
Now, teen-pop star Britney Spears, in a vain effort to make her image more mature, does a cover of Joan Jett's awful song - and makes it even worse than the original. It sounds as flat as the original did tuneless and atonal, and Britney carries no more feeling than Jett at any time.
Don't get either this cover of the original. Stay as far from pseudo-macho posturers as from teen pop.
ONE OF BRITNEY'S BEST SINGLES EVER! 
2002-08-07 - I can't say that I'm a huge Britney fan, but this single makes me want to be one! Britney's cover of 'I Love Rock N Roll' is surprisingly effective, and her voice gives this legendary tune a softer edge. But my absolute faves are the remixes! They make buying this import totally worth while! The Darkchild mix of 'Overprotected'is awesome, with its funky, and edgy, R&B groove. It's not your normal remix either. It's the original pop-sounding song made into an awesome hip-hip anthem! If you are like me and don't like 10 minute long remixes, this remix is for you! The Metro mix of "I'm not a girl..." has a bit of a Spanish-flavour to it with a fast-paced, acoustic-sounding guitar leading this flavourful remix, which is of average song length (not a tacky 10 minute long club mix), and equally as enjoyable as the 'Overprotected' remix. Love her or hate her, this single by Miss Spears' is excellent, one of her best, and worth the extra cash!
