Dear lord, did I really read someone say BOMT aged badly?

[Acuminatus]

The ESL bop of course!

Britney looking like a child on that single artwork while Christina who's about the same age looks like a 20+ year old 

 

OT: I love Heartbreaker the most but BOMT is the biggest one. 

Britney was 16 when BOMT single was released and Christina was 18 when GITB was released

How are you not going to include Jessica's lead single I Wanna Love You Forever? The only one out of these girls who actually debuted vocals.

 

 

 

 

Over xtina and Mariah ? Succesica legendson? 

[HardBambi]

All 4 absolutely great!

 

But I'd rate them like this out of 10

 

BOMT 10/10

IYHML 10/10

GIAB 10/10

Heartbreaker 8/10

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Nothing can compete against BOMT.

[prézli]

I'm a Britney fan, but BOMT is nowhere near GIAB.

[prézli]

If You Had My Love being the last in the music video poll?  Big Brother exists because of this!!!

1. Genie

2. BOMT

3. BOMT

Yes, like most Max Martin songs produced in the late 90's….

[Richie.Valdez]

BOMT by far.. in every single way.  There is no comparison

Agree to disagree. I think Max's 90s and early 2000s pop aged way, way better than late 2000s and early 2010s electro-pop/EDM for example. Probably because the vocals weren't so overproduced and it had a lot of R&B undertones and I think that's a very timeless sound.

I say we replace IIHL with the original, better sung, better song, classic by Miss Chante

Baby 

Heartbreaker

This is definitely not as good as If You Had My Love. It sounds like a dated, generic Darkchild album cut from So Plush's shelved album. Rodney and Cory Rooney did such a great job reworking the song to something completely different to make If You Had My Love. The only thing that sounds similar on both songs is the melody used when the title words are sung.

Genie and If You Had My Love.  I never really liked Baby One More Time

[lovely88]

Genie has aged the best. Still sounds as good as it did in 99. BOMT was an iconic video of the music video era.

"...Baby One More Time" had the most iconic music video, but "Genie in a Bottle" is the one that I prefer out of them all.

I mean you can say you like it better, but I didn't lie. The Chante song sounds like it's a dated production from the shelved So Plush album Darkchild produced. I doubt you even know who So Plush were.  

[shakeyourbombom]

BOMT for all

[naval23]

BOMT legit pop perfection.

 

BOMT > Genie > Heartbreaker >> If You Had My Love but all are so good
