nostalgic Posted October 24 Posted October 24 So we know ...Baby One More Time is more iconic as a pop culture staple with a video that's inspired countless tributes and parodies, but I think the video became bigger than the song in a way. (You Drive Me) Crazy on the other hand is very clearly the better pop song with one of Britney's most infectious melodies that highlights her overall skill as a performer. When I go back to the video, I always think that this is the Britney everyone fell in love with. BOMT flounders a bit on replay value and can even be quite annoying while YDMC is something that actually sounds even better with every listen. This goes for the album version too Thoughts? 3
Mupps Posted October 24 Posted October 24 I always loved born to make you happy I think it's underrated 4
ChooseyLover Posted October 24 Posted October 24 I'll just sit here and see you guys fight the good fight while I play Sometimes and Born To Make You Happy 4
shyboi Posted October 24 Posted October 24 honest question, why users here love to downplay bomt, just for the sake of being a contrarian? im always reading that oops is better, that this or that song is superior, etc...
itshyolee Posted October 24 Posted October 24 Agreed. The remix version is bubblegum pop perfection! 6
Trash Posted October 24 Posted October 24 BTMYH = BOMT > Sometimes > YDMC > FTBOMBH So no, not really. Intellectuals would agree and make a case for the album version though
crf13 Posted October 24 Posted October 24 Well, no. It's actually Born to Make Homosexuals Happy. 1 2

Honestly, for many reasons. No other pop artist has had a more impactful song than that, since then (all metrics combined). A moment where an entire generation know all the lyrics by heart (not just the chorus). Where the video and the looks are iconic (legitimately iconic, not "internet" iconic). Also, so many have tried to recreate this lightning in a bottle moment, all around the world, and never quite got it right (in spite of some succesful/good attempts). Because of all of these reasons the qualities of the song are often diminished, but make no mistake, this is a MONSTER of a tune. If pop music was a book, you would have several chapters solely dedicated to the genius of this one. Otherwise, yes, you are right, contrarianism runs rampant in our digital world, and BOMT is so "undeniable" that it's the perfect vessel for that! 2
Genius1111 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I've always preferred YDMC, the far superior single. BOMT was not as catchy as YDMC. 1
Richie.Valdez Posted October 26 Posted October 26 The Stop! Remix is pop perfection and the video is fantastic in every single way . She was so different from her peers.. the way she looked at the camera.. a reciprocally explicit love affair
superben Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Crazy is underrated, but BOMT was the perfect single choice, and it's better in every way.
Erreur2 La Nature Posted October 26 Posted October 26 No it's not. It's a 10/10 but inferior to the other singles imo.
blown away Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Well, yes. The Stop! Remix is one of Britney's best songs. The album version... not so much. As for the other singles, it goes: YDMC > BTMYH > BOMT > Sometimes > FTBOMBH 1
naval23 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Spill. BOMT is pop perfection but You Drive Me Crazy is crack on steroids 1
prézli Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Couldn't agree more. The best single from her debut album. 1
