what shocks me most is the amount of CONFIDENCE she had at only age 19 when she performed at the 2001s MTV awards. an ICONIC performance.

No artist today could ever top Britney on her prime. She was the definition of a pop star and that era will forever be iconic...

I'm A Slave 4 You could eat the whole music industry easliy, like an appetizer

I remember how Britney was blamed for 9/11 because the military invaded Saddam Hussein's palace in Iraq and discovered Britney Spears posters on his wall. That's how MASSIVE Britney was in 2002. None of your faves will EVERRRRR reach that level of relevance.

I feel like the only way we can solve corona is if Britney releases and album

Fun fact: During this era, she had a radio ban on her which continued until the ITZ era. That’s when many of the singles didn’t peak as high as her previous songs

BRITNEY’S PRESENCE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS REALLY MISSING

Britney kinda gets a lot of shade these days for for lipsyncing. i get the dissappointment, but that will never change the impact she had on pop music

Blackout is so underrated it's unbelievable!

I truly believe that there is only 1 word to describe her ICONIC 👑

Oh the Princess of Pop!!! Britney was in her prime during my teenage years. My favorite performance of hers was the 2000 VMAs when she shook people with her flesh colored outfit. I was 13 and jumping up and down cheering her on lol!!! Times have changed man! Her songs and outfits were so controversial and now they aren’t ANYTHING compared to what is shown now. Also, I was 20 during 2007 and now that I’m older...her 2007 meltdown is deeply understood. Like seriously her harassment got to the level of Micheal Jackson; she couldn’t go anywhere without being bothered or written about. Oh and social media was in its beginning stages during that time too so there is that!

I was literally born in between the Britney and Mariah Carey era so yeah my mom only had 2 options

Peak white girl was when Britney permformed I’m a Slave 4 U with that 🐍. We have never been higher, and will never be again.

Im all for Britney retiring and finally get the peaceful life she deserves, but all i ask is one last Amazing Album that will be define her whole career and make her remembered as the iconic pop star she is

Britney is a literal living icon. No one can even touch her. She's going down in history as one of the greats. Her influence on pop music, her starpower, your fave could NEVER

The "I" in Britney stands for "Iconic" ✨

“Britney” is a classic album and the way she followed up with “In The Zone” she made moments in the early 2000s. 🙌🏽Pop Queen

I’m a simply guy. I see Britney, I click.

She is also known to be one of the nicest and most down to earth girl, especially for how rare that is in the music industry, and people still try to tear her down

I know she never sung alive, but she was such a good performer that I don't care. Her charisma & stage presence is a lot like Marilyn Monroe.

I always viewed Miley’s ‘Cant Be Tamed’ album/era as her version of this Britney era, and the reason it only performed mildly well and didn’t spark *that* much controversy is because Britney already had set the standard for the “coming of age” popstar era with this album, so it was kind of expected when Miley did it and it didn’t garner as much controversy as she might’ve expected - That’s why ‘Bangerz’ needed to use weirdness and seemingly “wild behavior” in order for the shock value to work because simply switching your innocent image into a more “sexy” adult one had already been done by Britney here

She’s honestly a game changer, she’s Mrs Life Styles Of The Rich And Famous 👑💗 I’m a proud stan..

Lucky was a cry for help Thank you for coming to my TED Talk ♥️

This is my favorite Britney Spears era! It's one of the few Britney Spears albums that has absolutely no skips, all of the single choices were great, the Dream Within a Dream Tour was astonishing and the true definition of an early 2000s pop concert, and most importantly, this era gave us her 2001 MTV VMA performance where she danced with a snake! This was also a very transitional period for Britney. It is shocking to see how the singles underperformed in the United States, but they were still big hits overseas! Plus, the album debuted atop the Billboard 200 with nearly 750,000 copies. So, album-wise, tour-wise and video-wise, this was a great era. Single-wise (in the US)... eh...

Britney Spears was my entire child hood teenage hood and my early adult hood .she was the first celebrity I was obsessed with.

What a career she’s had. She’ll forever be my dance queen 👸🏽

Britney is my queen I remember hearing her first hit single as a kid on radio Disney 👏😍I still listen to ALL her albums❤ #freebritney

Can you do one on Brandy. She was in the same era, with Britney and Christina as the one of biggest R&B teenage stars of the 90s, One of the most influential singers of today’s music. First black Cinderella, The Boy is Mine, Moesha, endorsement deals, Dianna Ross.. it’s only right

Im A Slave 4 U is still THAT song and there will be no further discussion

I’m LIVINGGGG at how many people in the comments are giving credit to this undeniably sweet Queen. LIVING honey! Forever a legend!

Overprotected is top tier Britney. And the remix is amazing too. I miss that era

"I know I may be young...but I got feelings too....and i need to do....what I feel like doing....so let me go...and just listen!"

I really hope that wherever she is and whatever she does, she knows how many people's lives she touched and changed for the better.

Preach ! Not many people see how important and fascinating the “ Britney” era was

King of Pop - Michael Jackson Queen of Pop - Madonna Princess of Pop - Britney Spears They all mold and Influence "POP MUSIC and INDUSTRY" that we have nowadays

The princess of pop👑

I don't like when people say that Britney is provocative of Madonna is provocative, just live them alone! They have the right to be sexy! It is frustrating because i use to listen celebrity tabloid news during the 2000s and they use to call them provocative all the time! Calling them provocative is a real insult for them and everytime i hear someone talking about Britney, Madonna or Nicki Minaj for exemple, they always calling them provocative and it is relly annoying and irritating! I just can't take it anymore and i fell bad for those celebrites! They deserve respect.

5:53 out of all miley's pics in the entire internet he chooses this..... no words

I’m a slave 4 U is ICONIC and it’s one of the best songs she’s ever released don’t @ me.

Now the song "Toxic" is going to be stuck in my head again

Overprotective darkchild remix is still the best song to me off of this britney era.

When radio was actually popular, her music was blacklisted/banned on radio in the 2000s after that iconic scandal.

That Oops I did it again was my shiiit‼️ Still bump that album. She was so iconic in her prime😍

I've never seen a young white girl like Britney dance like that at the time. She had a fluid dance style that no other (Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, etc. Her song selection was almost perfect. Britney was that girl back then and saved the music industry at the time.

The fact this is one of her most personal albums and she barely has writing credits. She did that

My favorite era!!! Her clothes, makeup, and photo shoots from this era are unmatched! Wade Robson and Brian Friedman did most of her choreography during this era, that’s why it was sooo 🔥🔥🔥! I went to see her Dream Within a Dream tour during this era so it has a special place in my heart!

Why did the adult store promotion kill me? 😂 Great video though.

Or release her long unreleased 'Original Doll' album maybe when she wants to finish it off

Immediately liked as a hardcore #barmy fan! I discovered her through this era in 5th grade!! I'll never forget it. It changed my life and gave me hope through all my trauma

It actually sold 10 million albums. She sold more than 50 million albums with just 3 albums and reached there so quickly. That shows just how huge she was at her peak

Let me quote Ms Mandy Moore “Britney Spears is the Leader of the pack (mandy, xtina, jessica) during her prime”

HER BEST AND MY FAV ERA-

My favorite era / album of hers forever, and includes my top favorite song of all time, *CiNDERELLA* (PS: thanks for the shoutout to that phenomenally underrated and wasted hit!..)

I don't think the newer generation realizes just how big she was during 1998-2003. As big as they get outside of MJ. && tho she got crap for lip synching, she was an extremely talented performer. Her story will always be tragic but I'm just glad that she's alive and doing better.

This album made me a super fan of hers, this is a top tier pop album by all standards it made the departure from her teen pop to more mature pop and this album delivered.

Britney is my favourite album by her and the one I relate to the most.... maybe it is because I'm 20 tho

My favourite was the In the Zone era. she was at her peak, more relaxed, more involved on thr record...and we could see more of her natural personality

Adam & Eve to Britney spears king of transitions 👏👏

The Britney era was the EPITOME of a pop star.

‘Britney’ has always been one of my favorite Britney albums! So glad you brought up all of the things I’ve always thought about with this era/album. It definitely is the album that solidified the Britney that we know and love today 🖤

I miss the old Brittany and her prime years. She is a living legend and one of the best thing and artist happen in and to pop music. I wish her the best even tho she won't reach that height of greatness ever again. And that's no shade and alright.......she have nothing left to prove she goes down in music history.

Forever my favorite Britney album. I remember listening to this so many times I broke my CD player. I tried very hard to memorize the Slave 4 U dance routine. The fanaticism for her can only be compared to the Beatles. She was all 4 Beatles in one. That was her level of fame and power.

I remember reading a article that britney spears was so big that she moved part of the us economy, put that into perspective that's a massive achievement

Yasss! Spread the word. Britney is a living legend. Look but don’t touch.

this is one of her underrated albums

What I don’t get is that when Britney was trying to own her sexuality and be sexy she was bashed for it but when Christina did it it was another story

You are a really amazing speaker. Big fan of your channel. The Britney era is the absolute best. Makes me so nostalgic.

Yeeees Honest coming at us with some good.content..My Queen reigns forever in my heart

I loved Britney album!! the song LONELY should have been a single too!

She is untouchable during this era !! nobody ever come close till today !!

this album is BY FAR my favorite britney album. all the songs in it are boos with good/or interesting messages. one of the best britney eras

This is actually my fave album of hers, I love most of the songs on it

Can you talk about Christina Aguilera next?

I was a freshman in high school and living in a very isolated rural place in the Philippines but everyone knew Britney Spears.

This era had me shook when i was a kid, literaly. The videos, the anthemic songs, the performances, the looks everything so well defined, i'm slave was the first song i heard when i got my pocket radio fm scan, i remember vividly being hypnotized by the chorus and the beat

The “Britney” album will always be my personal fave. And sorry not sorry, I think it’s the best album she’s ever released.

i love a history lesson that matters

Britney is THE ICON OF OUR GENERATION. Artflop and blue Ivy’s step mother and especially floptina could never

I love Brit but when you gonna drop the Mariah biography 😭 Mariah's story is literally the most epic and fascinating one

The fact that you threw clips of circus in there and no one seems to notice

Please do a documentary about Whitney Houston.

This is my FAVORITE Britney album (tied with Blackout) Thanks for making this!!!

Adam & eve just sponsoring everybody lmao

The Neptunes-produced tracks I'm a Slave 4 U and Boys were fire! Very of the moment but you could still release both now and they'd be hits. The rest of the album was pretty average with throwbacks to it's two predecessors. In the Zone took it all the way with what those two tracks were doing.

LOVE YOU BRITNEY FOREVER!!! xxx

Britney was literally ahead of her time. In a time of homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. never once did Britney ever say anything offensive to any group of people. Instead, she supported everyone. Even when she was asked extremely inappropriate questions that would never be asked in today’s era, she still remained extremely professional and she has always managed to keep her cool. This is why Britney is more than just a pop star, she’s an icon.

Why do ppl act like she was only big in the 90s and early 2000s???????? The girl had number one hits in 2011 (Hold it against me) and the hit song Scream & Shout in 2013.

Born to Make You Happy was not underrated, it was number 1 in the UK. It was the European release at the time

Thank you for making a video about britney!!

Britney gave me life from the beginning. She was the best thing that happened to pop. I love Britney

Can we just talk about “Bombastic Love?” What a BOP!

You didn’t mention that radio stations banned her music in that era causing less exposure = lower sales

This is my favorite Britney album I’m 14 and I literally listen to it almost everyday and when I saw you posted a video on it I got really excited :)

When this album was released, Britney gave her all and the Dream Within a Dream tour proved she was the definition of a true legendary performer. We knew we were in the presence of something big but looking back at it now, it was even bigger than we thought. The VMA performance is, TO ME, the most important moment in music television.

Correct me if I'm wrong but pop music hasn't been the same ever since Britney vanished.

Artists today could never, back in the day, popstars used to give interviews, live performances all the time, documentaries and TV specials showing their lives... Look Selena for example, she wants to stay out of the public eye, it's hard to see her in tv programs and almost never do performances because she says she doesn't want her personal live being public... It's easy, just don't be famous, and start working and living like us

I even like Hit Me Baby One More Time, that heavy piano chord makes the song sound so good.🙂 I must admit her video imagery is excellent, but, I'm like a closeted Britney fan. 😂

i was born in ‘06 but i’m greatful my older sister introduced me to britney at a young age. britney was and is such a HUGE icon and i doubt there will be another person reaching this level of attention

Britney ruled in the 2000s None of these people today will ever rule like she did !!

I really love and admire this woman so much♥️♥️
