I think I read somewhere that the head of Jive at the time was obsessed with that song

AS HE SHOULD.

Outragous is a career highlight.

I love Brave New Girl too. If Britney had total control over the tracklist I love every decision she made.

Brave New Girl verses > chorus. Too overproduced.

Outrageous is like the one label requirement (maybe IGTBB too :-x). But it's clear that the rest/most of the album is Britney's vision and most likely her favorite work

Yes, Jive tacked Outrageous and Boom boom on the album as ITZ was  not only a departure from her teen pop sound but what against the trend.

In 2002-2003, pop stars either overtanned their body or changed their accent to sound more "urban"

 

Originally, Jive wanted Outrageous to lead the album.

Is it a bad song? No.

Does it cover the direction she was headed in personally? Yes.

Did it follow a trend? Yes, which is why Britney didn't want it.

 

Britney used Madonna as a means to release Me against the music which captured the underground trend and went against the grain of urban pop music.

 

R. Kelly raised a big issue and publicly criticized Britney for not going with his song.


Me against the music underperformed.

 

Then, at one point, Jive put out Outrageous AND boom boom to urban radio aiming to push either if they took off. They did not. They did get into the top 60 on urban and got 100s of spins, though.

 

Then Jive wanted to follow the Cry me a river stunt after Like I love you (MATM) underperformed. Britney wasn't ready. 

 

Then they wanted to push Breathe on me for controversy and Britney was adamant that Toxic ends up the next single or she'd stop promotion.

 

Jive not believing in Toxic release it to radio in late December during the worst time ever BUT Toxic was such a smash that it defied expectations and smashed.

 

I would have paid money for Outrageous to be swapped for I've just begun having my fun and GHMP would have MP, Outrageous and Do Something 

I would have paid money for And then we kiss to serve as the track after Breathe on may and remove that alarm clock painful MATM remix at the end. At least MATM justice remix made a mid song sound great.

Oh sis, you really love that one.

 

I mean, I absolutely adore it as well but looking at the material I agree with the songs Britney was pushing. Imagine Toxic remaining relegated to a deep cut :deadbanana2: And Outrageous did nothing for her career and it had R. Kelly's name attached to it which would've been a stain in the long run had it been a hit. Which I really believe it would have never happened anyway.

the part about R.Kelly is VERY true.
I mean Outragous isn't lead material, I agree on that yet it's so catchy and addictive. But I doubt that the GP would've embraced the song. It's an amazing song but I don't think it's hit material. 

Most of In The Zone isn't hit material. In my opinion many tracks are on a fine line between a very commerical sound and having some quirks that make them stand out and be kind of timeless.

Wow, her voice has always been super weak and mediocre. No wonder she's always needed help from autotune or Myah Marie.

Sis you got great tea but MATM and everything from ITZ was an absolute SMASH ww. I'm not sure how those singles did in the U.S but MATM was also a massive smash and I was between countries in that time. 

 

Even Eveytime was a smash hit.

She didn't want Yin Yang Twins or Outrageous on the album, I think those are the only things Britney didn't have a say in. Steve is the reason for the collab on Boom Boom, for some reason they thought Outrageous was single material and Toxic didn't fit the album. Shows how dumb they are

I remember Steve Lunt telling how IGTBB came to be but I don't recall Britney opposing or anything. In fact, I think she was cool with it, according to him? But I agree it was probably more of a label thing.

How are they dated for the time? They sound like ashlee simpson tracks from that era

The songs are very Gregg Alexander. I don't think they're that dated for the time but I can see her getting negative reactions for "jumping" on the sound and rather late. Songs like "You Get What You Give" and "Lovin' Each Day" were hits just years prior.

 

Instant Deja Vu could've been her Murder On the Dancefloor, tho!

What do you think of the new rap version? It's so out of place but it also… kinda works? :deadbanana2: I think I like it more than the original version now.

It's fun but I'm sticking with the JI Mix

She didn't want them on the album and she didn't want to talk to them when they performed together either, yin yang spilled the tea years ago

I've always been an Instanr Deja Vu stan. That song is a timeless classic and I would ******* die if she released it today - if she did it as duet with a powerhouse vocalist I think it would be truly iconic. Her vocals in it are divine. 
 

Because I like It and You Can't Stop What You Can't Stop are amazing, honestly it brings me back to that early Y2K Dawson's Creek/Friends vibe and is very You Get What You Give coded.

Do you have a source for this? Taste if true because Boom Boom is by far the worst thing on the album.

did they record a song "Watch What Ya Shakin'" or is it a rumor?

Thing is, the collab is what makes it bad. If it was solo, I've always thought it would've been single material.

Pretty sure they had another collab but I don't think we know the title

Because I Like It sounds more like something Jessica Simpson would sing. I bet the chorus would sound better with strong belts too. It's giving Think I'm In Love/Jessica.

And even with that, she still outsold and had more cultural impact than your fave. I'd be mad too if I were you.

Why they don't release an unreleased track album? I mean even multiple unreleased ttacks albums. Why not? I don't get it

Pls, they only said that she "Did a Move like: Get this "guy" away from me" ..

and they were literally talking about their performance together, u know, the one where she was mostly dancing? :skull:

 

and they must've hurt their head cuz she was clearly vibing with them at the ABC special

 

Mo'nique really was spot on when she called them the "slow cousins at the cookout"

I'm not mad. This is a forum, so I expressed my opinion. You don't have to like it. I don't care about someone having more sales and cultural impact if that comes at the expense of their own happiness and overall health, but you do. Good for you.
