Editorial Review:
Jive Recording artist Britney Spears is set to release her 4th album, In The Zone on November 18. The first single "Me Against The Music" features Madonna. Britney Spears co-wrote 7 of the 13 songs on the album. Some of the producers/writers on the album include Moby ("Early Mornin'"), Bloodshy & Avant ("Showdown"), Guy Sigsworth ("Everytime") and R. Kelly ("Outrageous").
Description of In The Zone:
However coy she might be in her public statements, Britney Spears leans more than a bit toward the provocative on In the Zone. Less concerned with aiming at the mainstream radio dial than in the first days of her career, she and her collaborators make this as street and club ready a record as possible. The opening duet with Madonna, "Me Against the Music," is worthy, but the bigger superstar’s presence serves almost less as a performance than a key to Britney’s intentions: as Madonna did on albums such as Erotica , Ray of Light, and Music, she’s out to bend current trends to her needs. R. Kelly, Moby, and Ying Yang Twins all provide stirring moments that draw on everything from Bollywood to Southern hip-hop, while one of the most impressive tracks, "Touch of My Hand," joins the proud tradition of Cyndi Lauper’s "She Bop." She still lacks a fully formed artistic vision of her own, but Zone, with its many get-free anthems, puts her much closer. --Rickey Wright

Britney Spears's Official In The Zone Review 
2009-05-16 - Heyy!!!! It's me again! Today I'm gonna review In The Zone.
Me Against The Music- This song is sooo fun to dance to and like make up your own routines. You can even act the music video out with your friends. REALLY FUN!!!!! 10/10
I've Got That Boom! Boom!- I find this one a little controversial, because she says "...boy you look so sexy", like a jillion times and in the Ying Yang Twins rap it says that she's nude, which is kinda innapropriate considering that this came out when children still liked Britney Spears. It's fun to dance to. 7/10
Showdown- One of her most controversial songs ever! She says the following lines: "...you looking good when your half-dressed" and "...can you undo my zipper please?". So it's innapropriate. 8/10
Breathe On Me- VERY BAD LYRICS!! Like adult lyrics. But it's my favorite song of hers. So danceable!!! 10/10
Early Mornin'- See, I don't like this one because she talks the whole song. This and "Freakshow" are my least favorite songs. 4/10
Toxic- It's her #2 hit!!! Everybody loves this song! See I DONT!!! I'm tired of it! You get so sick of it after a while! That's what makes it so good to other people. 5/10
Outrageous- I like this one even though it's like her lowest rating song and has controversial lyrics. It's fun to dance to. 9/10
Touch Of My Hand- 2nd most controversial song! It's so innapropriate that I can't even talk about it. 7/10
The Hook Up- This song has a Jamacian theme. About hooking up. I like to dance and sing along to this one. 9/10
Shadow- The first ballad on the CD. I love this one. Especially the live performance in The Onyx Hotel Tour on YouTube. Slow-danceable. 10/10
Brave New Girl- BORRING! Sounds like a bubblegum, cookie-cutter song!!! 3/10
Everytime- This song rocks! It's a nice ballad. 10/10

If you seek Calliope
2009-04-06 - There's only 2 types of people in the world ~ and you're not one of them. He me, she me, say whatcha want about me, your time ran out several posts back. Anyway, this CD is sorta Spears' Revolver. 3itch is dangerous. Sugar me, stone me, pheromone me, ya won't be dialing me. Trip yerself from here on out, I got a good memory, she owns it. Bump bump till the break of dawn, laughing singing dancing mating, it don't stop till the early morning. There's only 2 types of people in the world, he and she, green and red. Bump bump, Madonna's yer mothers sexy, I got me SUPERCHARGED.
My Fave
2008-05-18 - I love Britney and everything she has done. This CD is my favorite! This and her new one Blackout. She has an excellent voice and both this CD, Blackout and her Greatest hits albums have so much variety in the music. They are all on my mp3 player for school and workouts. They are very upbeat compared to her earlier work. Every song makes you want to dance... or if you cant dance (like me), it makes me work out harder... LOVE IT!!!
Not Her Best, But Some Really Great Moments
2008-04-30 - Very quickly, I did enjoy parts of "Baby One More Time" and "Oops I Did It Again." I think "Britney" was her best. I did enjoy her "Greates Hits" record. Looking ahead, "Blackout" had some decent moments.
After her really great 3rd record, I was hoping this 4th one would be better. (Well, at least I didn't think it was.) However, that is NOT to say it didn't have some really great moments. 'Showdown' certainly has a catchy sound. 'Breathe On Me' is different, but interesting. 'Toxic' takes an aspect of the human condition and reveals it for what it can be. 'Outrageous' has a nice energy to it. 'Shadow' is a great song and a strong contender for the best one on the record.
So while my favorite remains her excellent 3rd record, this 4th one certainly has its great moments.
