"well, this is the same track list from México (i'm from that country), i bought this album the day was available (november 8) an well th songs are really good (i'm fan, hehe) anyway i don't know why "Don't let me be the last to know" is not included on the album, is a Hit, at least here in México all Britney songs are #1 this is my review:
1. MY PREROGATIVE (9/10) Amazing Cover! this song is very cool, i don't know why this song didn't have the success that everyone espect! but anyway was #1 in MTV México!
2. TOXIC (12/10) what can't i say about this song, it's the best song of Britney! i love this song, this is really a Brtieny Spears' Worldwide #1!
3. I'M A SLAVE 4 U (12/10) Damn it Britney! amazing Song, i love this song since i heard it on the Radio! for this song a became a Britney Fan!
4. OOPS! I DID TI AGAIN (8/10)well i like this song, i remember that a girl on my elementary school had the single and i heard it i just say "It's cool".....but IT'S GREAT!
5. ME AGAINST THE MUSIC (Feat. Madonna) (7/10) well, this song is SoSo, i don't like it that much as the others, i like the "Richi Rich's Desi Kulcha Mix" included on the album: "In The Zone", I HAVE TO SAY the Britney Version (without Madonna) IS MUCH BETTER!, I Don't Hate Madonna, i like her alot, but i don't like this song.
6. STRONGER (10/10) i think that this is the most longest TOP 10 song of Britney in México, this song was on the Top 10 for like 5 months or maybe more (i'm talking about Radio)
7. EVERYITME (8/10) the background sounds like a music box are very awfull!, but the lyrics and the Britney's voice are the best! this song was on "Los 1o+ Pedidos" (10 most Request) of MTV for mora than 80 days so, another Hit for Britney!.
8. ...BABY ONE MORE TIME (8/10) This song is cool, with a simple melody hit the world by surprise! and this song is a Pop Classic, so i don't have more comments about it!.
9. (YOU DRIVE ME) CRAZY - The Stop Remix! (10/10) this Remix es much better than the Original Version, this song was the reason that i bought the ...BABY ONE MORE TIME album!
10. BOYS (Co-Ed Remix) (Feat. Pharrell Williams) (9/10) i like th album version more than this version, i like to hear JUST Britney! but this version is very cool too.
11. SOMETIMES (9/10) another Britney Classic, i love this song since the 1st time a heard it, is very Romantic, and at the same time very happy and well this song got something that i don't know, it's very Cute!.
12. OVERPROTECTED (9/10) well the Mexican Version has a mistake on the backcover (it says "The DarkChild Remix") and this version is the album version, the album version is the video shown on MTV Latinamerica the Remix was show a few months later but didn't has success as the Original.
13. LUCKY (10/10) POPTASTIC this song is very cool, is one of my favorites, and the video (Directed by Dave Meyers) it's amazing!
14. OUTRAGEOUS (8/10) this is the only song that didn't has success, on the radio and TV no one knows about this song, just a very few.
15. BORN TO MAKE YOU HAPPY (11/10) This is my Favorite Britney Song i love it! but FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY BROKEN HEART was shown in México instead BORN TO MAKE YOU HAPPY i don't know why both are beautiful but this song is much better and the video is better!.
16. I LOVE ROCK 'N' ROLL (9/10) this song it's cool and this song was playin' while Britney was promoting her album and making show in México! i went to her 1st Concert was amazing!, THE 2nd Was Cancelled and alot of people went mad about 'cause she just sang 5 sings and went to her home, didn't made press conference for explain and anything!.
17. I'M NOT A GIRL NOT YET A WOMAN (7/10) another ballad without taste! i like this song 'cause is Britney not for the Lyrics and anything, but anyway this song was very successful in México.
18. I'VE JUST BEGUN (HAVIN' MY FUN) (9/10) this song it's very cool but this song it's very old, when i bough the USA version of the "In the zone" album in Wal-Mart in Houston, they gave me a download number so i donwload legally this song!.
19. DO SOMETHIN' (10/10) amazing song sounds like Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For?" but Better! i love this song and i'm very hapy 'cause this is the 2nd single from this Album, Britney made the video last Friday!
Well everyone buy this album you don't gonna regret it! o almost forgot, the Bonus CD is amazing too:
1. TOXIC (Armand Van Helden Remix Edit) (9/10)
2. EVERYTIME (Hi-Bias Radio Remix) (15/10)
3. BREATHE ON ME (Jacques LuCount Mix) (9/10)
5. OTRAGEOUS (Junkie XL's DanceHall Mix) (10/10)
5. STRONGER (Miguel 'Migs' Vocal Mix) (10/10) it's much better shorter!
6. I'M A SLAVE 4 U (Thunderpuss Club Mix9 (10/10) it's much better shorter!
7. CHRIS COX MEGA MIX (10/10) Amazing Song and this song it's an Radio AirPlay Hit Right now in México!."
