I’m always interested in the reasons why artists dislike their songs - is it the lyrics, the music or something else? Of course maybe they might just not like the songs in general, but I’m curious if there are specific reasons.
I think they just get bored singing certain ones over and over again. They out grow certain music just like everyone else does. Go through certain phases.
sometimes was them trying to “clean up” her image after baby one more time was deemed as provocative so she probably just hates how performative it felt at the time. and she ended up breaking her knee while filming a video for outrageous so i’m sure she has some resentment towards that song cause of it lol.
Sometimes is hands down my favorite song of hers. I used to play it on repeat with my Walkman and headphones in the car on trips. She has no clue how much that song really means to so many of us who grew up with it ❤ still on my playlist to this day, 34 years old.
She was joking- she never hated 'Sometimes', it was part of the skit. Plus she had definitely outgrown it, she was no longer 16 like she was when she recorded it. 💁🏿♂️
@britneytian3768 Lol, I said the same thing to myself. She's my favorite singer and I used to wanna look like her but she didn't age well. She doesn't look horrible but she's not as pretty as she used to be. Then again neither am I haha. People do age but she has other problems, unfortunately
I adore Sometimes, yet I understand why Britney hates it. Its a song made for teenage romance and like any self respecting adult, no said adult should have to sing a cutesy love song in their 40s. Outrageous can get me in the right mood occasionally, but it's the fact that R.Kelly's fingerprints are all over the production
I love all her songs! Even if she doesn't like some of them, she's been amazing through out and still came out amazing after all she's been through! ❤❤
I mean, yes, the lyrics in Sometimes are kinda corny, but nothing can be worse than Dear Diary 😂 I mean, I love that song but just because when it plays, I have to sing it pretending like I'm writing my diary in a dramatic late 90s teenager fashion and it always makes me laugh.
Britney a trip 'Sometimes' and 'Outrageous' are 2 of the best songs in her catalog. Yet,she produced 'Overprotected' and it's the song of hers I stay skipping 😂
I agree that outrageous should not be released as a single. In the zone has very good songs like Showdown, the hook up, Boom boom, early mornin' that deserved a video and to be the fourth single from the album.
I can't blame her. In the music industry you have producers and writers and publicists and managers trying to tell you what is best for you to record and take on the road . It's bullshit! Artists like Britney should be allowed to record what they feel the fans would enjoy. Love you Brittney ❤❤
well a balance is good, the company still invests in you financially to gain income for the company, so they do have a right to have a word in it, but they should give the artist enough room to create their art otherwise it doesn't sell well or it does but could've done even better. the problem is. art sells. but too much art is only a small base in comparison to the other people, that's too sophisticated. if you want to sell a lot, you need a balance between art and simple songs. because that's what most people listen to.
Never been a fan but I like to sing her songs as an hobby because they suit my voice. I found an acoustic version on Sometimes and it's really pleasing to my ears. Anyway the lyrics could sound silly or extremely disturbing. It's basically about a girl who's totally obsessed with a boy and submissive in her relationship. "I wanna believe in everything that you say, 'cause it sounds so good" ;"sometimes I run, sometimes I hide, sometimes I' m scared of you". These words almost scare me, as an adult woman... especially knowing the whole Britney'S story.
Yes I love the songs I listen to Britney all the time she is a very talented a girl she has a very beautiful voice and she really gets into the song when she sings the song she doesn't really like act like a phony so I think she sung the song very well very seriously she's a very good vocalist and she sings the songs very seriously love you Brittany love you Brittany don't put down your music sing your music enjoy your music and enjoy life. Your baby Jessie
Yeah I like those songs and I respect the fact that as the artist that singing it and performing it doesn't like it I don't always understand why performers don't like their own songs but it is what it is
It’s not that she didn’t like Outrageous, but she believed in Toxic more. Also she wanted her song featuring Madonna to be the lead single, which ultimately ended up being Me Against The Music. It was the right decision, both MATM and Toxic are amazing songs and Outrageous, despite being a nice song, wouldn’t have the same impact.
Outrageous is one of my least favorite, so I agree with that one. Sometimes has pretty dumb lyrics but is a catchy singy-songy tune and an OG single from the good ol' TRL days.
Sometimes is amazing. Britney was right about Outregeous, hadn't she released it she wouldn't have broken her knee 😢😢😢 she knew it it wasn't the right decision, I love you Britney
why doesnt she like "sometimes" anymore back on her trl days when the first album was out she was reported as saying it was her favorite song/single i miss when that song and crazy the stop remix were both in heavy rotation at the same time
I love outrageous and the video looked like it was gonna be really good I wish she would have finished the video now knowing she never did anything much afterwards bc her life took a dark turn after 2004.
No one see the irony, Sometimes is the description of what she never wanted to be in her relationships with anyone or as a person and she couldn’t finish the outrageous video because she hurt her knee and she never wanted to do the onyx hotel tour.
