Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (2004)

Videos

If you are a big britney fan. You can take two routes. You be responsible and buy this so the artist can make money or you can go on youtube and watch the videos on their. I say this because on this dvd it has all of her singles on here starting from "hit me baby one more time" to My Prerogative' but it does not have Do Something or her current singles on Blackout August 7, 2008

truth!

OK OK...I know Britney has alot of haters...and alot of them hate her for her image and personal (that's gone public) life. I'm going to comment on her MUSIC because as a musical artist, that's what needs attention the most. Not anything else...and let's face it. Britney Spears is drop-dead naturally gorgeous...I don't care whether she's pregnant or shaving her head, she's extremely beautiful.

Her videos are just FUN. You can dance along to them and they are highly entertaining not to mention VERY ADDICTIVE. Her early videos are the best...ever since "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know", they went TOO FAR into sexuality. I don't like feeling that I'm watching a Playboy-wannabe flaunt her stuff on camera. You can go to Youtube for that.

I do like about half the videos on this DVD, however. I bought this for the videos - not the bonuses...those are as they say, BONUSES. I'm not going to let that influence my review. Ok, Britney's voice is very tampered with, as most all know. That is her reason for lipsynching. She has a beautiful, deep-toned voice...but it's not the one you hear on her early songs. "Bottom Of My Broken Heart" is closest to hearing her original style on this DVD though. Anyway, once she goes into her songs from the "In The Zone" album, her voice increases in its nasal-y sound which I find highly annoying, therefore, I don't watch the videos that far. And btw, her latest album is CRAP. Her albums "Baby One More Time...", "Oops! I Did It Again!", and "Britney" are very good for listening though. Just keep in mind, her voice is slightly editted.

Overall, this collection is worth the cheap price it's offered for. I'm not a diehard Britney fan...but I do like to reflect on her older days...when she actually had some decency about her. I wouldn't buy this DVD though if it was priced over [...]$. May 7, 2008

great

I bought this DVD for my 10 year old daughter. She's fascinated with it. She wanted me to see it with her, so I did. I have to admit that I am not the Britney type audience but I recognize that it's a a very good production, videos are great so if you're a Britney fan I think this is a must have DVD.

A Little Confusing, But... (A Guide To Using This DVD)

This DVD can be a little hard to use, especially trying to find the alternate versions of the videos. Here is how, what they are called, and how they differ. Once the DVD gets to the main menu, choose "Alt. View." The screen changes and here you access the different videos. Below is the listing and what they are:

*My Prerogative (Dimentional Edit){a.k.a. Digital View} = the beginning has some additional footage of people at the party. In the video, there are 2 different "clips" you can watch. One clip is some additional black and white footage of her on the bed. The second "clip" is photos of her and other guests at the party. Also look for the astronaut from the "Oops!...I Did It Again" video. Access these features by pressing Enter on your remote when the word ENTER appears on your tv screen.

*Outrageous (Takes) = Unused footage from the "Outrageous" video. Her most infamous video due to the fact that it was never completed. Shortly after the shoot began, Britney injured her knee. After she healed, it was never finished. And yes, that IS Snoop Dogg. And NO, that is NOT Britney at the end.

*Everytime (Angle Two) = When this video starts, LET IT PLAY. Hitting ENTER will only let you see how the video originally aired. This version is footage of outtakes, false starts, etc. The majority of it is Britney standing in front of us, singing.

*Toxic (Karaoke) = Take a guess what this is, lol. It is the video with the words on the screen. Sort of. It is a version of the "Toxic" video never seen. It is mainly Britney dancing around with those diamonds glued onto her body. Also, the singing has been totally removed, so it is just the music. I must say it is VERY COOL to see this version. She looks so good with the fan blowing her hair all over as she dances. You can hit ENTER on your remote during the video to turn the singing on if you like, hit ENTER again to turn it back off. WARNING: turning the singing on and off causes the video to start back at the beginning. I recommend watching it twice, once with the singing off, then again with the singing on. Also, some of the words are mis-spelled. "Your" is used when "you're" is the correct version.

*I'm A Slave For You (Uncut) {a.k.a. Accapella} = More bonus footage not used in the original version. On the plus side, it means more male nipples. Hitting ENTER shows you even more bonus footage. I suggest watching it twice. The first time, let it play. The second time, hit ENTER on your remote. I had a hard time using this video, especially when I hit the ANGLE button on my remote, took me to all kinds of weird shots. I eventually got irritated with all the bonus footage and stopped trying to find it all in this video.

*Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know (DLMBTLTK Outtakes) = Not sure what this was. It appeared to be outtakes set to a remix/instrumental version of the song. Also mixed in are clips of other videos. THE MOST BIZARRE version of one of her videos yet. Also very short, less than 2 minutes long.

*Stronger (Outtakes) = You guessed it... A neat little surprise it the home video footage of Britney when she was younger mixed in. It is also like a remix of 'Stronger.' Also less than 2 minutes long.

*Oops!...I Did It Again (Uncuts) = The original video with the begging trip to space removed. Instead, the whole video is Britney in front of us, singing and dancing in that red outfit. At the end, hit ENTER to see more outtakes. Britney does some funny stuff on the outtakes. It ends abruptly.

*You Drive Me Crazy (Mix) = Not sure how to explain this version. I guess it is the same video playing at different times on the same screen?? Also includes outtakes. LESS THAN ONE MINUTE LONG!!

*...Baby, One More Time (Uncut) = Hitting ENTER when the word ENTER is on the screen takes you to the alternate version. Nothing special, just some outtakes. And we see that that really IS Britney doing a back-flip.

OVERALL = Disappointed with this DVD, it sounds much better than it really is. The menus are hard to use, and the box makes it sound like there are hours of bonus footage. That is a lie. The alternate versions of the videos are much shorter. I could have arranged this DVD in an easy-to-use format. All this bonus footage to the videos could have been done in a better way.

Britney: From 'Baby One More Time to 'My Prerogative'.

After 4 studio albums & a Greatest Hits collection, Britney had already knocked up a total of 18 singles. All of these are included here.

There is also a clip for `Outrageous'. This video was never finished due to Britney injuring her knee on set. She required surgery & had to cancel the remainder of her `Onyx Hotel' tour. Ouch.
As a final treat, the remix for `Overprotected' is also included. This extremely popular remix has it's very own video, completely different to the original video.

And since this a dvd release, you can play with the multiangle feature on your remote. And if you already weren't getting enough, some of the videos can be viewed uncut!!
