Overprotected Reviews:
Britney tells it like it is... 
2002-08-27 - Disrespect her no more!! This has GOT to be my favorite Britney song ever!! Who can help dancing to this? And the lyrics...wow! I didn't know she had such creativity in her. The thought of ditching her previous producers and releasing the "DarkChild" mix only was a step forward in Spear's career. Even though Rodney Jenkins recycles effects from Brandy (hear "happy" from her album, "Never S-A-Y- Never" it's still great. The a'capella like background of edited noise from Brit as well as the catchy chorus go along nicely together. She has now told the world what she wants. I didn't know there was so much she had to deal with when she was little...and what great way to tell it then thru this song! If you liked this one then I also reccomend her single previous to this "Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman." Another personal tale with good lyrics. This song recieves an A+ from me.
Why Did They Edit the Thunderpuss Remix? 
2002-06-21 - First of all, skip the track "Overprotected." It's a whiny, self-absorbed declaration of independence written by Swede Max Martin. Instead, go directly to the Thunderpuss remix of "I'm a Slave for You." This track, originally produced by the Neptunes, gets a highly energetic treatment from Chris Cox and Barry Harris. Unfortunately, I still can't totally recommend this CD on the strength of the Thunderpuss remix, for it is only the edited version. I would have eliminated the boring "interview" and instead made room for the full-length remix. Britney fans will lap this up, but casual listeners should make a U-turn and avoid.
Overproteted (Original) CD-Single! 
2002-06-03 - This was a good cd! I like the songs "Overprotected" and "Slave" but the Overprotected remixes wern't as good as the "Slave" Thunderpuss Remix. Overall cool cd, nice cover!
Nice CD 
2002-05-06 - This was a good choice for a second single. The remixes of 'Overprotected' aren't as good as the 'Darkchild' ones, but the 'I'm A Slave 4 U' remix is awesome. :=)
Should Have Been Better 
2002-04-25 - Britney could have put in a little more effort in this single. OVERPROTECTED is a great song, but the JS16 Remix & Dub are sort of annoying - plus she doesnt really sing at all in them & it has all these cranium cracking rhythms going on at the same time that just make you get a bad headache, i mean bad. The interview is a waste of CD space, i hate it when she talks because she is sort of boring to listen to. I'M A SLAVE 4 U is the song i like the least, when she pops a bad word + the drum beats in there are disgusting. But the Thunderpuss Radio Mix is pretty good, i can make an exception on that one. And the Enhanced CD Section has the trailer of "Crossroads" with her singing a performance of Overprotected during all the outtakes are showing. Sort of a boring Trailer/Music Video. Don't waste your money on this one. If you want more of her buy her album BRITNEY which is what you call SO much better.
