The highly anticipated 1st single from Britney Spears‘ new album has finally been released! ‘Hold It Against Me’ was crafted by Dr. Luke and Max Martin, and will appear on the Pop icon’s 7th studio LP later this year. Give it a listen below:
When Spears said that the final version of this track was even better than the demo she certainly wasn’t joking! The production boasts enough bass to rival even Ciara’s ‘Gimme Dat’ and will definitely give the song the push to dominate the clubs throughout 2011.
The only weakness in the record is Spears’ own voice. She has never been a powerhouse singer (not counting her youth where she was actually quite impressive) but she sounds almost timid on this track. Still, I doubt anyone will care given the hype surrounding this project and the hunger her fans have for her new music.
Beyonce and Lady GaGa have been warned.
[polldaddy poll=4365085]
Obsessed with this for the last hour!
I liked the song. I know its most likely going to be #1. But Trent really Beyonce and Gaga have been warned? what should they be scared for. They can sing!
Awful.
It sounds like some sort of club remix or cheesy ‘Ministry of sound’ track.
She just gets worse and worse. Why do people bother.
In more interesting news, Janet Jackson is touring. Now there is a real performer.
this is her greatest single ever!
This is crazy!
I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove her!
i love HIAM.
Oh GODDDDD
BAD F*CKING B****….*bye*
This song will top Billboard Hot 100.
I love it.
Gaga will pressed!.
F***. She just slayed every other b**** in the game. The production is amazing, it’s almost like British dubstep at times. She’s taking this one all the way to #1.
her best song yet.
Thanks Britney, the real Queen of Pop!
Her music video will amazing.
Rihanna can wrap her LOUD out!
It’s still a bit lackluster. I do like the breakdown and I’m so impressed with her confidence in the vocal department. I haven’t heard her “singing” like this in a while. This track is better than the demo, but I am hoping she goes in a different direction with the rest of her album(and single choices). I do believe that she has better to come and more up her sleeve. I so hope this is the blonde that wins in 2011!
@ DC – You ask why people bother with Britney but yet you came to this topic, listened to the song and wrote a comment but yet you ask why people bother.Why did you even bother posting a comment since you believe Janet is a real performer? ANYWAYS!!!!
As for the song, the beat is orgasmic, the lyrics a bit cheesy, the breakdown is something I would have to get use too and Britney’s voice….. well we all should be use to it now. But this is definitely a hit for Britney. Welcome Back Brit Brit 🙂
It is dubstep influenced DUH!
Now all the americans are gonna jump on the DUBSTEP wagon and say they invented it SMH.
When it originated from LONDON, remember that B******!
would u hold it agianst meee??
I love u Britney.
U just GODNEY!
One of her greatest vocal.
a perfect song.
love love love
Yeah, the queen is back!
I have nothing to say.
Speechless, better than Toxic+Gimme More.
The real of pop queen is back and i’m gonna buy this single+album.
Thanks Grapejuice.
Love Britney.
She slays Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry just that simple.
Owhhhhhh.
I love this
The Princess is back to claim her throne. Take a seat, lessers, stranger b****** and the rest of you; TRIdomination has officially begun.
I just can’t wait to see what the dance break choreography is going to be – you know Brian brings that heat.
Love it!
(does the bridge remind anyone else of ‘Shattered Glass’?)
——————————————————-*————————-
THE RETURN OF THE TRINITY
THIS YEAR
R.Y.F
GO Brtiney!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at her fresh face next to the Goat
thats what you get for dancing in the devils juice
enjoy your fleeting fame Fenty
Britney didnt sell her soul for immortality
The chorus is catchy….I guess many people love this kinda music..but I don’t …and I don’t dance on it..
Now on another note, i respect Britney and her work but this song is like everybody can do this kinda songs..Gaga could sing it if she had that bit..same think w/ Katy perry..so this is not like a new thing..we’ve heard this kinda music for the past 6 months or past year…It will make the top of the charts because its kinda pop song, not because its a britney ‘s song
I like the fact that it is more grimer dance than the electro sound that is currently around.
I think this could be huge for Britney!!!!!! And it sounds better than the demo!!!!!
Gawd…
I dunno why everyone is getting excited, its ridiculous smh!
The Video is gonna be whack, this song isn’t even all that good. I thought it was gonna be a monster the way all her team was hyping it. But as usual its WHACK…You dont have to hype greatness, this song is medicore at best!
Britney aint the same Visually since she had the babies. The only one song I liked from her was ‘Gimme more’, and look at the video for that SMH…
I just hope that she has practiced her dance routines like mad for this and also worked out and made sure that her body looks top shape because we all know Britney sometime let the Bipolar play wit her physique and mind, which then transfers to whack performance and videos…
Do y’all remember the MTV performance? SMH again
Stop expecting to much from this has been… Gaga is the one to watch out for!
Some of you all are easily impressed I see….
Britney has had wayyyy better songs than this. I dont like it…..
Womanizer>>>>>>>Hold It Against Me
i love it and it will definitely go straight to the top
She kills Ke$ha stupid pop.
this is great Britney. Gaga will struggle in this era.
Erm…omggg someone please tell me..the clip doesnt come on .. it keeps saying buffering.. 😐
is it the demo or the actual song..
its supposed to be out tomorrow… has it been leaked or is it just the demo?
Oh please, Beyonce and GaGa have nothing to be worried about. She sounds like a 13 yr old Disney w****…heck Willow Smith has more power in her voice than Britney. I am not impressed and do not care how many people label me as a pressed hater…she churned out better music when she was going through her mental breakdown imo.
But irrespective of my feelings toward the track I am sure that the song will go to the top of the chart within minutes.
Typical Britney, but its still good (not epic). Toxic is still her best song IMO.
Good Uptemp music
not a Skull Whip or Chain or Pentagram or Bone in sight
thats what you call a pop star.
Sticks n stones may break my bones
but Britney whipped Fentys Ass
Battleship sinks blub blub
this gonna be the real dance beat in U.S
I bet most clubs will play this song. Seriously.
The beat just perfect and omg..this is great.
Good song, but I wish it was more catchier. This video better slay.
Gaga has nothing to worry about though. #Fact
gaga & beyonce will pressed.
I wonder if S&M by rihanna can beat this kind of music.
Britney just perfect,
I’ll buy official single on 11/1/11
Love ya brit brit
ooooh I’m hearing a little bit of dubstep there. That’s what’s up. UK/London Town stand up.
Top tune. Awesome production. I’m going to try and not kill it in one day.
I agree with ROAST YO BEEF.
This song is OK, but its not the best Britney song.
Gimme More was waaaaaay hotter then this.
It sounds kinda rushed… and all over the place. I dont like the arrangment…
…And I agree with BEYSOBREEZY when he says that some of you are easily impressed… YOU ARE, lol. You get manipulated easily by media. This song will bore the hell outta of you after it gets over exposure on the radio etc. I hope she has better songs on the album.
But to be honest im looking forward to Beyonce and Lady Gagas new stuff… and new artists emerging like RITA ORA (Rocnation).
I LOVE IT !! BRITNEY, XTINA ,BRITNEY,XTINA,BRITNEY,XTINA,BRITNEY ,XTINA, BRITNEY,XTINA,BRITNEY,XTINA,BRITNEY,XTINA,BRITNEY,XTINA,BRITNEY, BOTH THE BEST POP SUPERSTARS AFTER MADONNA!!! THEY ARE QUEEN OF POP PRODOGYCAL DOUGTHERS!!

*Twurls into infinite*
definitly the best song in 2011
Not really felling this one. It’s okay, but a little too Techno for me. Will be a huge club hit… we know that already..
………………IT’S OKAYY
& SORRY TO BUST YOUR BUBBLE BEYONCE OR GAGA WILL NOT BE PRESSED
……………..& I’M DONE
It sounds like every other song playing on the radio. The beat MAKES the song period…. JANET JACKSON will for ever be the Queen of Dance!
@ XTINA IS AN ICON HERE IN THE UK & WORLD WIDE!! BITHES!!
Instead of worrying about who is “touching” who musically may I suggest that you touch a dictionary. Your spelling is the pits!
That “Black Loser B****” and “Man CaCa” as you called them are breaking records and making a whole lot of money in the process. I seriously doubt that they would sweat this mentally unstable, monotone non-singer. No need to respond…I have no intention of wasting my time with an illiterate (and obviously musically challanged) idiot on some blog.
But I do hear some “Shattered Glass” in there.
@KD
IF YOU DO NOT LIKE BRIT WHY ARE YOU KEEP COMMENTING ON HER ARTICLE.
Rihanna’s S&M >>>>>>>> Britney’s Hold It Against Me!!! <——- this song is whack as f***, like seriously britney should have came harder and GaGa's new song its coming out a month after hers….while rihanna will constantly own the top spot!
Umm….this is lame. Dont ever compare it to Queen GODara’s ‘Gimmie Dat’. People like Tha Phoenix are always overhyping this chick. Stanning for success instead of real talent. There’s always this hype everytime Britney comes out. ‘She’s back to SLAY, ITS EPIC’. Chile,boo! This girl hasnt slayed since In The Zone. What does she slay at? Single-wise Rihanna, Katy, and Gaga murder her. Tour-wise Gaga kills her. Performing wise Beyonce kills her. All she does is lipsynch with stiff non-humanlike dancemoves. Nothing special about her. Her and Kesha both need to take a seat in the no talent section away from the charts.
I LOVE IT!
Guys, this is the new Britney.. Hate it or Love it, it’s Britney B****!
Wow
As a Britney fan, I’m kinda disappointmented; the girl from the demo sung this with more conviction than Britney. I know she’s not known for being a singer and I’ve never needed her to, I have other artists for that. Gimme More is more grimy than this, it sounds like some cheesy movie remix. And LMAO @trent: isn’t this the kind of music they are always complaining about? And Beyonce will be fine, more than fine actually. Not so sure about Gaga, Britney is gonna clock her tea.
I have to agree with the Ciara stan on this one. At least CiCi [ATTEMPTS] to show a vocal range.
LOVE IT!!!!! #1 HIT ALL OVER IT! GO BRIT BRIT!!!!
Garbage.
This is going straight to #1 because it’s Britney, and it’s decent, but Gimme More and Toxic are still my favorite singles from her. I have to say though S&M>>>>>>HIAM. Gaga’s probably going to get on the dubstep bandwagon as well, even though Rihanna was doing this with Rated R.
The song sounds kinda ordinary.
i like that,
love from france
I Like IT…it will be a HIT. I really like britney…the only thing I dislike is that all her song are now remix and sounds like it is dj’s song with an unknow singer…but still love her
*Disappointed* damn phone
This is average as hell! Sorry…I mean it is really just ok. The dubstep wobble is the only thing it has going for it. Britney’s xtra boring voice does nothing for the trak. It’s over produced and over written. Just yawn…zzzz
THIS IS F*****’ AMAZING!
She’s the best singer ever!
OMG guys i can’t believe how awesome this is!!!
I’m not gonna be able to sleep tonight!
xoxo b******
DK>> BRITNEY IS OVER 100.000.000 ALBUMS SOLD!! XTINA IS OVER 55.000.0000 MADONNA OVER 300.000.000!!! THOS 3 ARE THE ONLY QUEENS OF POP THE NUMBERS DONT LIE !!! AND YES ANOYEDNCE IS A F****** BLACK LOSER JEALOUS B**** HER MUSIC SUCKS !!! MAN CACA IS A F****** DUDE SHE IS A FREACK RIDICULES HALLOWEEN T***** AND SHE HAS A D*** GO AND SUCK IT;( CUZZ IT IS BRITNEY BITCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I DON’T KNOW HOW EVERYONE IS HYPING S&M THE SONG IS WHACK.
EVERYONE ACTING THAT IT IS THE BEST SONG EVER .
BRITNEY’S SONG> RIHANNA’S CAREER
OMG THIS IS F*****’ AMAZING!!
She’s the best singer ever, i f*****’ adore her!
I can’t believe how awesome it is!
I won’t be able to sleep tonight!
xoxo b******!!!!
Britney will never see the success she saw in her early career. This song is ok but it’s nothing Gaga, Xtina, Katy, Ciara or Rihanna couldnt do. NEXT!
GUY’S DO NOT TURN THIS INTO BEYONCE VS BRITNEY . THEY ARE BOTH DIFFERENT ARTIST. GAGA THOUGH BIGGET OVERATED AND OVEREXPOSED S*** EVER!!!
@ QUEEN CIARA – STANNING FOR BIBLE INSTINCT
January 10, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Umm….this is lame. Dont ever compare it to Queen GODara’s ‘Gimmie Dat’. People like Tha Phoenix are always overhyping this chick. Stanning for success instead of real talent. There’s always this hype everytime Britney comes out. ‘She’s back to SLAY, ITS EPIC’. Chile,boo! This girl hasnt slayed since In The Zone. What does she slay at?

Her and Kesha both need to take a seat in the no talent section away from the charts.
Truth… no offense, just being real. Britney get’s a pass @ everything. She used to be able to sing (adolescent days), she used to be able to dance, perform (back in “Baby.. One More Time..”- “In My Zone” era), now she’s lackluster, lazy, uninspired, all that. But, she get’s a pass because her name is “Britney” & her production. & yet everyone else get’s dragged for what Britney clearly can not do. I don’t even like Beyonce or Gaga, but they have nothing to worry about. In the talent realm they are far superior to Britney, & i’m sure their material, even Beyonce’s.. will be better than this. The only thing they have to worry about is Britney stans & the world going uber crazy over this because her name is “Britney.” Tour wise, performing wise, & dancing they will slay her. Just sayin…
When I first heard it i wasn’t that impressed….then i found myself listening to it over and over again. I Love it!! Also, I love britney’s vocals in this single.
wtf is this s***??? it can be britney’s floppest single! hope born this way wont disapoint!

Britney Spears – Hold It Againts Me
http://www.mediafire.com/?jquz8g2cdu4vjyb
the song is “Ok” nothin about it moves me
EVERYONE WHO IS PRESSED AND NEGATIVE THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING AND YOU WILL HAVE WHOLE YEAR TO BE ANGRY AT THE FACT THAT SHE SELLING WHETHER YOU THINK SHE IS TALENT OR NOT.
@QUEEN CIAR
YEAH IT MUST BE HORRIBLE TO SEE HOW MUCH ATTENTION BRIT GETS FOR HER SINGLE AND DEMO. I MEAN BEING A FAN OF AN ARTIST THAT IS OF THE RADAR IT MUST BE HARD. I MEAN YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT CIARA WAS GIVEN A CAREER HIGHLIGHT IN 2009 WHEN SHE WAS ON THE CIRCUS TOUR.
@DAVE
TOUR WISE? GROSSING 130MIL WITH LESS DATES THAN OTHERS. WHO IS SLAYING WHO?
THIS SONG DOES NOT SOUND LIKE RIHANNA, KATY, OR KESHA. YOU ALL ARE PRESSED BECAUSE SHE BROUGHT SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO THE GENERIC SOUND YOU WERE HOPING FOR.
okay I have loved this girl since she came out….just so happens we have the same name and spell it just the same…… I love this song, can’t wait for the album!!!!!
THE LEGENDARY BRITNEY SPEARS IS BACK TO SLAY!!!!
Love me sum Britney and Rihanna and there is room for both of them but lets see who will be taking the #1 spots on the charts this yr and racking up the album sales….
Much success to Britney
@MISSIMPARTIAL Ok, get your panties out of a bunch. If you clearly read my post you’d see never did I give an impression about money, or numbers, or grossing. Not once. Tour wise as in the quality, the PERFORMANCES, & The design. Their tour quality & everything all together, not numbers will be better. Point blank.. Britney can get as many back-up dancers, tour designs, & pre-recoded vocals, but it will not make up for her lessar talents. I mean really numbers? If that’s the case Rihanna, Ke$ha, & a few others are far more talented than artist in the last 10 years & that’s a straight up lie. So check yourself..
@MISSIMPARTIAL & also, dead @ you skipping past everything else I said & pointed out that 1 thing because you know everything else was the truth, & the only thing you have up or to save you on Britney is her numbers. & even at that, I stated she get’s a pass & about her popularity, so that wasn’t even a 1 up, because it was already basically stated. Britney stans… pathetic
@MISSIMPARTIAL clearly you can’t read, because I even stated here” In the talent realm they are far superior to Britney, & i’m sure their material, even Beyonce’s.. will be better than this.”
3 >>>>>>>>>>>>
but I am happy that you hear her actual voice and not some computer this time.. hopefully all of her songs are like that.
I’m not here for pop, dance, and techno right now but I can whip my hair to it every now and then.
@DAVE
YOU CAN NOT READ YOUR QUOTE: “Tour wise, performing wise, & dancing they will slay her. Just sayin…”
TOUR WISE AND PERFORMANCE WISE SEPARATING THOSE.
MABY YOU NEED TO CHECK WHAT YOU WRITE.
brit brit sound great,,,but “womanizer”sounded waaaaaay better to me !
yes yes yes yes hot hot hot hot hot hot hot sick beat great vocals love the breakdown love bridge dope very dope dope number one debut #itsbritneybitch
Beyonce gonna p*** on them,s*** on them.
I dont like it,it’s like a taio cruz song.I hope the vid will be better than gimmie more’s one
Gaga waas the one concerned by britney’s album but now I think she ‘ll be fine
@ Dave, I totally see where your coming from! It’s 100% honesty there!
@missimpartial i thought it was just me but that song s&m sucks. Overrated song
Where’s Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, God? They need to save 2011 music, I can’t stand at these pop garbages like “Hold It Against Me” and “S&M”/”Only Goat”.
we all know britney has never been known for her voice,,,hell ill take her voice before i listen to some broad who sounds like a cat in heat…
now…
what the f*** did i just listen too? i had to stop it around 1:27…i was starting to get annoyed as hell…
I already knew dr luke was NOT a good choice for her first major single.
maybe it has to grow on me..but damn i m tired of this dance crap
ALL of her songs sound the same she has no GROWTH #fact !
It’s like Listenning Cascada, David Guetta, Kelly Rowland & Ke$ha together…. Nothing Original…. I’m so disapointed of her direction, because everybody is doing electro pop, she doing electro pop… She’s just a follower this time. She’s trying to stay relevan
the song is everything a britney record should be.
she is the undefeated queen of pop.
nothing tops britney, i dont give a f***- everyone else follows her lead! EVERYONE!!
this is what we’ve been waiting for? i was hoping for a more urban “Gimmie More” or “S****” those were her hottest songs IMO. But whatver..the gays will eat this up…still doesn’t hold a candle to Bey and Gaga’s music tho.
since its britney, the broad is about to dominate the charts…
I know the ciara stans aint acting all offended and s***,,,,yall should be flattered that her names is being brought up next to a legend/icon
cause we all know ciarra cant, never, never, never, touch britney……
next to madonna, britney has one of the biggest tour sales out there…
im not even gonna go into her album sales..the broad has no competition
and she did it all on her own..she didnt have to f*** for tracks, have her daddy pay people off, nothing….
SO FEEL FREE TO HATE AND TALK S***
Beyonce and Lady Gaga have been warned .. Really lol , Lady gaga maybe but Beyoncé is my Michael Jackson for you all she is above everyone out there and i mean it ! She shouldn’t be compare to anyone except Madonna maybe but certainly not too Britney she can sing ! Haven’t you heard Halo at the Haiti concert ?
Nice song Britney btw !
It’s ok
Im sure it’ll snatch the #1 position on BB 100, has a very generic sound
The Trinity has begun
Brtiney, Gaga and Beyonslay
-2011
OMG CLUBS here we go!!!!!!
lover of ramen noodles,
“Im sure it’ll snatch the #1 position on BB 100, has a very generic sound”
And that won’t surprise me, ’cause the most songs charting are pure garbage nowadays.
Yessssss!!!! Loving it. The middle with the slow bass beats is… damn.
Not a die-hard fan or anything, but I missed Britney in the music scene the past few (horrible) years.
PURE HOTNESS! I don’t even bother reading what the webmasters have to say anymore, I they are like malicious robots, but I’ve been on here for years and it hasn’t always been this way. Now back to the Queen of Pop beside Beyonce: BRITNEY SPEARS, Hold It Against Me is totally awesome! I am so impress! Britney NEVER fails me! I will have this on replay for a while. And I will be buying her album on the very first day. Welcome back Britney!
I HOPE THIS IS PLAYING IN THE CLUBS THIS WEEKEND..I AM GOING TO DANCE TILL THE ROOF FALLS OFF TO THIS…BRITNEY IS THE UNDISPUTED QUEEN…BRITNEY IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!!!
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE CD…WATCH BEY CHANGE HER ENTIRE CD AFTER SHE HEARS THIS..!!
it sounds like ke$ha’s stuff.. wht i dun reli like.
@Dave – boo, you want to shout me out, at least do it with style. I’ve been a loyal Brit stan since 99 and, I’m sorry to tell you this, but she isn’t going anywhere.
She’s the best selling female artist of the decade, has a dedicated worldwide fanbase and the backing of the industry. When she was down, everyone was rooting for her.
Yes, lately she hasn’t performed like she used to, but when you consider what she’s been going through, it’s understandable. I’m a stan and I’m the first to admit it. And I’m hoping that the recent improvement in her personal life means she has that ‘spark’ back. Yes, she lipsyncs. But, you know what? I would rather pay to watch her perform than watch Rihanna. And that isn’t shade, because I’ve got love for Rih.
And, in case you weren’t aware, I also stan for MC since 95, the Queen B (DC since 99, the Queen since CIL) and Gaga as of September 2008. Who do you think invented this term ‘The Trinity’?
Brit, B and Gaga are the three biggest female artists right now – and I’m proud to stan for all three. No, I am not a bandwagon stan (like so many others) – I’ve been here from the very start of their careers. And I’m not a fairweather stan. It doesn’t matter how commercially successful my faves currently are – I ride or die.
Well.. Love this song.> hold it against me>> sure it will be #1 cause its BRITNEY!!
anyway i dont care what …other critics are! I just love it>> and sure Buy IT! hehehehe
@Dave – sorry, dahling. My comment wasn’t directed at you, but @ QUEEN CIARA – STANNING FOR BIBLE INSTINCT
My bad. 🙂
And – about Ciara – I’ve got love for her, but don’t try it. Especially when her career’s funeral is still fresh in people’s minds.
*sips Martini*
Let me get this straight for you idiots !
Michael : King of Pop
Elvis : King of Rock n Roll
Madonna : Queen of Pop
Beyoncé : Queen Bee
Britney : Pop Princess
Christina : At one period she was a Pop Princess too idk if she still is but anyway .
Rihanna : Queen of Billboard #1 spot LOL , 9number #1 in 5 years maybe 11 ( Fly & S&M ) later this month.
Kanye : Simply a genuis <3
Jay-Z ; Best rapper ever!
As for the rest of artist there are cool , fine , sweet … whatever you want but no title for them please .
Since when has vocal range= talent? Vocal range has ABSOLULTELY NOTHING to do with entertaining a crowd. You can have a 7 octave voice and not be able to entertain a rat. Britney is a superstar!!.. Give her her props. Beyonce and the other steal all of her stage design and choreography…
BRITNEY OUTSINGS ALL THEM OTHER B*TCHES! HOW CAN YOU ACTUALLY SAY PEOPLE LIKE RIHANNA, BEYONCE OR LADY GAGA CAN OUTSING THE QUEEN BRITNEY, ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST!! LOVE THIS SONG 🙂 🙂
dis song is hot 4 brittney, speaking of ciara’s gimme dat da, remix would have a banger with brittney on it!
sorry this song will come and go real quick i was expecting more
@Americans Are Jerks
Agreed. So tired of people just throwing around these titles. 😀
This is really good. This will be huge in 2011 because the song is addictive yet grows on you slowly. It won’t be overplayed and will get more popular as time goes on.
WE ARE NOT WORTHY GODNEY WE ARE NOT
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ this GARBAGE! This doesn’t sound much different from the demo that was posted days ago. People were saying “Hold your judgment until you hear the final version” but clearly I didn’t have to hold S***. Although, it possesses better quality and mastering, it still sounds like EVERY other electro/dance-pop song that has been released for the past year. I just can’t @ her stans having such low standards by calling this good. I mean, really? I’m a Britney fan, and she’s been my guilty pleasure ever since the Blackout album, but let’s not give her more credit than she deserves.
I just can’t get over the fact that the same exact people that call Gaga’s songs garbage and generic are the same ones that are calling this a “smash” or “epic!” You guys CANNOT be serious. Britney’s fans/stans deserve much more than this BS. If she’s gonna slay Gaga and every other generic pop artists, then perhaps making music that’s extremely similar to the music they make is not a good idea.
Like I’ve said before, the song is without a doubt gonna smash the charts. One, because it’s a microwaveable song the HOT for the moment, and two, because it’s BRITNEY! I wasn’t expecting anything from her in the vocal department, however, she’s much better than this BS and some of her fans/stans should be ashamed of themselves for accepting this crap just because “it’s BRITNEY!”
Toxic, Womanizer, any song from Blackout>>>>>>>>>Hold It Against Me
Yawn, this ain’t it sounds just like that crappy demo. Bey and Gaga will s*** all over this hell even Rihanna new s*** sounds 10 times better than this and i’m not even a RiRi fan
It will definitely be great to see:
Britney Spears “Hols It Against Me”
Ke$ha “Blow”
Katy Perry “E.T.”
[All crafted by the likes of Dr. Luke and/or Max Martin] and
Rihanna “S&M”
be released on the charts and radio in the same period. Because all artists lately have the potential for number 1 success on the Billboard Hot 100.
Hmmmm, who will make it there and who won’t will be such an interesting thing to see. For some reason I’m thinking Britney and Rihanna will hit number 1, and Katy and Ke$ha will peak in the Top 5. Would make 4 consecutive number 1s if Katy hit #1, 3 for Rihanna, and 2 for Ke$ha. . . Interesting
The song is FIRE.
Definitely different than what is currently on radio.
Rihanna, Kesha, GaGa, Katy, etc could never.
This sounds absolutely nothing like the junk they come out with.
Brit has always had her own sound.
Now watch this joint shoot to #1.
I don’t hear much energy or determination in her vocals, but her choreographer and dancers will bring a lot of good out of the song.
@THA PHOENIX Ok….? Um.. I’m going to need you to fall back. Not once did I mention you, or was trying to. Clearly I addressed & quoted who I wanted too. & not once did I say Britney was or is going anywhere, so what are you talking about? a) I said Britney gets a pass at everything, b) Britney is lessar talented, c) Gaga & Beyonce hav nothing to worry about (talent realm, as far as performance, & material). Where did you or anything that you just mentioned in your reply to me (That isn’t even a reply because you were never mentioned , quoted or replied to) fall into those categories or responses? & D) there is no excuse for anything she has been doing or done thus far. She has been lazy from “Blackout” to “Circus” & she still is, & even before in no way was she that epic to be going all crazy over, in my honest opinion, in any way really. Ciara was even stated @ Britney’s “Circus” tour as upstaging her vocally, dance-wise, & performance wise by critics & attendee’s. How long will her lack of be ok? Clearly to her stans forever, because y’all don’t care. All I did is state my opinion, so get over it. What I said still stays as is & stated. E) You give yourself too much credit, especially when not mentioned. Keep it movin –>
& you already quoted me, so I already replied. & please go in on Ciara all you want too. At the end of the day she’s still talented, & far more talented than Britney no matter the state of her career now. Take it how you want it. Throw a tantrum, call me names, “drag” me. But, it is what it is.
SHE CAN’T SING THIS ISH LIVE, PERIOD! LMAO!
OMG SO GOOD!!!!!!! THIS IS TOTALLY DIOFFERENT THEN WHAT IS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW!!!! SO GRIMEY AND THE PERFECT CLUB ANTHEM FOR 2011!!!!!!
BRITNEY HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! CANNOT WAIT FOR HER ALBUM
GAGA AND BEY R SCARED
LOL OMG I CANT Believe im saying this but
RIHANNA’s Only girl>>>BRITNEY’s hold it against me….
trent go jump from a building if you think beyonce or gaga have something to fear. gaga going to shut it down while beyonce become the next madonna…the song is okay buts its not what the brit stans hyping it up to be, all i hear is kesha & hate to say it but the emo sound a little better, BUTTT i doo like the lil hip hop sound she used in the middle of the song,
5/10 stars for ‘Hold It Against Me’
I really like it! Think it’s better than Circus and If You Seek Amy, but it’s no Womanizer. Welcome back Brit! 🙂
Lady Gaga is laughing somewhere.
I love Britney’s songs mostly, but this is not impressive.
It’s just like one out of a dozen Euro Pop Song from the last 10 years.
I’m sorry. I hope the album will be better.
THE INTERNET IS BLOWING UP RIGHT NOW CUZ OF THIS SONG!!!!! ONLY WITH BRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally a song that has beat, and alot of bass which produces a much better synbiose in the song it self.
Britney, you make me horny!!
This song is HOTNESS!!! I knew it wouldve sound even more better with Britneys touch on this song. Everyone dont have to have a Powerhouse voice either especially with electro pop. Britney is definitely coming 2 claim her throne.
@ Amazing Lee, well said! I don’t think what Brit delivered this time around measures up to the hype. For the life of me I don’t understand why artist in this era do this kind of thing and fall flat.
@ Black , I hate to admit it – but Only Girl is better. I’ll even go a step further and crown Rihanna Queen of generic music, because her competition is sucking right now. I know that Brit’s fans are excited to have her back, but the honest truth is that this is a 6/10. Any artist in her lane could do this track. On the bright side, I feel that Brit will come harder than this, I’m already anticipating her 2nd single now!
Yesssssssssssssssssss the Queen of Pop is back. Brit is truly the QUEEN of POP
QUEEN OF POP QUEEN OF POP QUEEN OF POP QUEEN OF POP QUEEN OF POP
Rihanna is not the QUEEN OF POP she is a R & B singer lol. And don’t you people forget that.
@ Kyle humm that’s funny I’m on twitter and everyone is trashing it
@ROYALKEV UR SO DELUSIONAL WOW
HATERS R LOSING THEIR WIGS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
THE BREAKDOWN NEAR THE END IS JUST WOW!!!! I CANNOT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST WAIT UNTIL THE QUEEN OF POP BRITNEY GOES OVERSEAS . At least she can dance and gives you great performance ALWAYS
WE ARE NOT WORTHY OF THIS SONG!!!!! *BOWS*
love! but i really don’t think Bey or Gaga have anything to worry about…
@Dave
As I mentioned in the comment just below the one that addressed you, I meant to @Queen Ciara. Not you. So, I’ll pass over the rest of your comment and move swiftly on.
*sips Martini*
———————————————————–*—————————-
THE RETURN OF THE TRINITY
THIS YEAR
R.Y.F
@ Kyle, see when I see that my favs aren’t where they sould be or did something that doesn’t work for them I remain quiet. Therefore, you should not be making delusional comments, you’d be better off taking your lunch break now!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THE SONG!!! GREAT TO DANCE TO, THIS IS GOOD FOR THE START AND I WILL BE WAITING FOR MOOOOORE TO COME!!!! LOVE BRITNEY~!!!!!!!!!!!!
@RoyalKev
%100 AGREED! I don’t understand, either, especially someone like Britney who touches anything and automatically makes it successful. She should be making more quality music because she doesn’t have to worry about “flopping” regardless if it’s catchy or not.
Actually I think every single song on Rihanna’s album LOUD is better than this song, even Only Girl, which is the worst song on the album. And you hit the nail on the head with this:
“Any artist in her lane could do this track.”
EXACTLY! These lesser artists that have been topping the charts with their songs could have recorded their voice over this same production and would have accomplished the same goal as Britney did with the record. I’d give it a 5/10 as well, only because it has a few background harmonies I wasn’t expecting. Other than that, MEH.
I’m seriously LMAO @ the people who really think this is so amazing. We have REALLY lowered our standards when we accept something like this from an artist who’s been in the game for over a decade. I expect it from the Katy’s, Ke$ha’s, Gaga’s, and Rihanna’s but not Britney, although she isn’t much more talented than them anyway.
@ Amazing Lee, yeah the background harmonies were the most impressive and again your right – Brit doesn’t need to worry about failing! She should have been a little more innovative or focus on the quality of her music, instead of following the crowd.
Anyway, you guys that are fans seem to be very passionate about this – so help her get that #1! I’ll have to wait for round 2 to join ya’ll, because at the end of the day I prefer a good song and not just a hit record. Still, wish Brit well! That is all…
WTF WAS THAT MESS!
Ugh my ears were about to bleed….LMFAO gaga aint loosing no sleep. she probably laughing her ass off.
the song is generic trash, terrible vocals s*** even my 8 yrs old sister sounds bettter than S******….WATCH HER LIP SYNC HER WAY THROUGH THIS GENERIC TRASH!
Wow! what a comeback please? 🙂 loving this song 😀
I must say this song is amazing. The vocals are simple yes… but it has all the makings of a smash. Classic Britney.
Yawn….. same old, same old. She’s a grown ass woman with kids and who had a mental breakdown, change it up a bit.
This song is just a generic sound, it goes pass with no excitement
OH MY FUKIN GOSH!! THE HOTTNESS…I CANT!!
BRITNEY JUST SLAYED ME!! …I WASN’T EXPECTING IT TODAY!! …DEF GOING TO BE ON REPEAT ALL DAY!!
IS IT Available ON iTUNES YET?!?!
Anyway another smash for the Princess of Pop (SMH…The Video is going to be EPIC!!)
@ all these delusional Britney Fans Well Ms. Spears initials explains perfectly what I feel about the track BS, Trent go kill yourself if you think Bey or Gaga is worrying about this non talented generic pop tart. I’m sorry but these Britney fans are forgetting who slayed in 2008-2009 when Britney, Bey, and Gaga had albums out at the same time, but i’m here to remind you Bey won 6 Grammy Awards, Video of The Year at the both the MTV Music Awards in the US and Europe, and the list goes on and on and on. Go Run Tell That
It sounds just like the demo minus the breakdown!
It’s no “Gimme More” or “S**** 4 U”… but I’ll take it for what it’s worth.
Gar-bage
#thatisall
Well i knew the haters would #HoldItAgainstMe but sorry it’s a annother No1 for Britney.
Who gives a f*** about Gaga when was her last No1?! “TFM” sold half of what “TF” did and you wanna play like she’s some pop juggernaught?! LOL
Britney 100,000,000 sold
5 (soon 6) No1 albums
3 (soon 4) No1 singles
Gaga 18,800,000 sold
0 No1 albums
2 No1 singles
#StayPressed #StayMad #StayInferior #HoldItAgainstMe 😉
THE BREAKDOWN @ THE BRIDGE>>>>>> THE WHOLE SONG
DEAD @ the Pressed Individuals!!
Britney got you b****** SCARED.
Its sooo funny to me because i saw on a Lady Gaga Forum her fan protesting to NOT buy Hold It Against Me because they dont want it to outshine Gaga’s music ROFL. SOo funny because even the Gaga fans were shutting that monster down!
You Better Recognize the Princess of Pop slays your fav effortlessly!!
OMG….
THAT CHANGE UP WAS CRAZY!!!
WHAT THE F***!!! RIHANNA, KATY PERRY, AND THE REST OF THE GIRLS ARE ABOUT TO GET TOSSED OFF THE CHARTS ASAP!!! SHE’S NOT PLAYING. THEY BETTER BOW NOW!!!
I can see her lip syncing the s*** out of the this. The song have too much break in it . Instead of breaks it should have breakdown it would be much better
I love britbrit to death,but this isn’t hot…at all
I’m sorry, I ain’t feeling it.
Generic boring ass pop all over the damn place. I’m disappointed of you, Brit-Brit. Lady Gaga is gonna murked you , just like Xtina.
lol really brintey i would hold it against you cause this is recycled beats just ur voice put on top of the track. um really she ain’t original that voice is still the same. ministy of sound knock off. blackout song’s were way better than this crap song yes it catch but thats all. this sounds like one of her beats remixed into this. this sounds like one her old songs. these cheap ass lyrics come on britney spears do something better than this cheap ass recycled s***. the lyrics are hella cheap sorry i like britney but her music is nothing to go crazy about at all. this is the hype of hold it against me cause like i said it ain’t nothing exciting. ill go listen to ministy of sound cd if i want this kind of music. britney needs to go back to blackout sound. im up for another blackout album.
@ uknowme you are so right these dumb britney fans must have amnesia because my girl Gaga and Beyonce straight slayed this h** in 08-09. This new single is hot garbage can’t wait for Gaga to slay this b**** career just like she did xtina, Born This Way premiere on Grammy night.
Brit does have the right initials to go along with the hot garbage she always serves BS
whos cares for gaga her music is garbage 2 ain’t nothing original about gaga’s music britneys blackout cd beats anything cd gaga or song comes out with.
Verz good track. Britney, Gaga and others were experimenting with the euro-like sound for a while now, but as usual Britney is the first who has courage to go all the way. Finally a mainstream track with strong, flat, techno beats, trancy loops and synths. Britney is a trend setter once again. Yes, this whole sound isn´t really that much different from the 90´s eurodance and eurotrance wave (and also produced mostly by the same producers), but who cares? It´s still great! Suddenly, even Gaga sound too poppy and all fashioned.
Im sorry but this is hot gar- bage. B**** needs to come better or go home. Hot ass mess.
plus we all know that britney is going to lipsync this song on the stage whoopie whats new about that right anyone agree with me.
It is really good, but Gaga hasn’t got anything to worry about. I’m sure that Hold It Against Me and Born This Way will both hit #1 on the Hot 100.
This is soo not Britney-like !
I loveee her….but this is a little disappointing.
It’s not amazing…just seemed like another
one of those pointless songs that are out to
just make a quick hit.
doesn’t do much for me but i think the chorus and breakdown sound ok so it may grow on me( thanks radio overplay)
am i the only one who thinks we’re getting a bit of ourselves here with the whole no1 hype
britney is very successful but let’s not forget all in all she only has 3 no1s on hot 100 since her 99 debut
People will spend there money on anything if they buy this crap and go see this fool in concert I just don’t get why people would go see someone who lipsync through the whole show I can go to a drag show be more entertain. Only artist that I would pay to see that lip sync is Janet because she can put on a show but we know she can really sing check American Idol performance
DEAD @ the people saying this us unoriginal!!!
ARE U F***** KIDDING ME??? lol
u guys are on sum r***** s*** right now!
Cuz seriously what song out right now on the BB 100 has a dub step beat mixed with pop mixed with electro???
GO head, i’ll wait…
still waiting…
and waiting….
EXACTLY!!!
thats what i thought, her inclusion of dub step is sick and makes this song different than whats out right now
cant wait for the video (the coreography to the dub step breakdown is gonna be EPIC!!!
)
I really CANNOT believe these same people who despise Gaga and her music are the same people who love this track! It seems like they are just as bias as they claim TGJ’s owners to be.
KESHA killed Britney Spears career RIP Britney
@GAGASLAYSBRITNEY
You got a lot of nerve, youll end Gaga’s career before Britney does with idiotic statements like!
The TRUE Princess of Pop Reigns! Hold it Against me is soooo Hard hitting, amazing, and different and i cant wait for the video! The elements of DubStep left me Speechless …EPIC.
Really? I read some comments before hearing the song and though that this song would be a huge hit for Britney…. Change of mind -_- Disappointed. Nothing new, yes good beat, easy to dance too but again nothing new.
S&M ———————————————————————–> HIAM. S******* NEEDS TO COME HARDER IF SHE WANNA PLAY WITH THAT #1 WITH S&M.
@ DION-ISH
finally sum1 with sum sense 😀
Again LMAO at Gaga fans like “i’m sure “Born this way” and the single will be No1″ um… Gaga has NEVER had a No1 album and her last No1 was “Poker Face” wasn’t it? #Siddown
RIHANNA IS THE NEW QUEEN OF POP END OF STORY
@ Mateo this crap is in the same genre as the other techno s*** that’s out today so how is this original. Dub Step is electronic dance music just because it’s not on the charts means it original because Ms. Can’t Dance since 99 does it. Her video is going to be like the ones from the circus era very generic and stiff.
blah blah blah, come on britney you can do better Gimme More was a lot better than what she has release since.
Sounds like the same crap she always releases. The production is good though!
^^^^^^^^EXACTLY! PREACH!
Sooooo, the Dub Step during the bridge makes it SOOOO original and different? LOL! These Britney stans are killing me! LOL! REALLY? Dub step is apart of most dance/electronic mixes. LOL!
^^^^^^@RiRi4Real
@ DION-ISH and @ Mateo I’m a Britney fan too but this is nowhere near EPIC. Let’s be real this is very disappointing single. It’s an okay track but just like Womanizer it’s not her best. You guys throw around the word EPIC way too much I bet if she farted on a track you guys will call it EPIC GTFOH with this
@SOFUCKINRUDE
You are FUKIN crazy…Theres only ONE Queen of Pop And thats Madonna. After Madonna its Britney. Rihanna is great but she’s DEF not there yet!
I WOuldnt be surprised if you were a troll! *Flips-Bang, Press Ignore*
@DOO DOO
Well Thats YOUR opinion.
I Feel its Absolutely amazing..I Love every element of it. And after hearing this all i can say is these other b****** better bring it because after hearing this record i wont be surprised if there records leave me underwhelmed. They wont be able to compare to the Princess!
@ RiRi4real
alright maybe i should rephrase that
ITS MORE ORIGINAL (production wise) THAN ANYTHING ON THE BB HOT 100 RIGHT NOW
No songs on that list consist of anything close to dubstep
Heed my words, as soon as this song makes it to the top of the charts (which is a given) watch how many other acts start including dubstep in their music (i can already see THIEFONCE trying dubstep lol)
Point is Britney is a TREND setter, doesnt mean she’s the most original, but she starts the trend. Meaning, yea she didnt come up with dub step (and she’s not the 1st artist to use it see: rihanna’s rated r) but because britney is doing it and its gonna be big, then all these other pop b****** will soon follow suit 🙂
*DEAD* @ Ke$haFan! GIRL, BYE! Ke$ha couldn’t end a garbage man’s career. Pun-intended!
this is better than womanizer, worse than gimme more, and i wont compare it to her singles before Blackout because its a whole different type of pop music.
i love it and i love britney and i cant wait for the video.
BUT S&M is still gonna slay. #holditagainstme
yall dont worry about rih, she knows exactly what shes doing
this is a weird song
I still think the beat is generic, but I like it. Kinda what I expect from Britney, good or bad. The hype alone would be enough to get this song to #1
Better than Toxic? Better than Gimme More? Better than Womanizer?
Britney’s entire discography>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hold It Against Me
Hmm. I wish her well. Now, would I rival it with GaGa and Beyonce? No, not exactly. However, Kudos to Britney. Shes been through a lot & I definitely think this song is a #1 Record. I am sure it will bang in the clubs.
Im so dissapointed. I love Britney but this isnt as epic as I was hoping for. It could have been a rihanna song. Theres nothing that makes it “BRITNEY”. Maybe the video will make me change my mind. A video can make all the difference. I didnt like circus until the video. You never know. It sounds like a fun club song but the lyrics arent memorable. Its not a sing along in the car kind of song. Agree with the ones saying gimme more and toxic are still her best.
Lol Beyonce and Gaga are not worried about britney. All three of them will slay this year but britney is only coasting on her name now. Each have different styles everyone relax and enjoy them all.
Just proves people hype just ok music. This could’ve been sang by anybody. I mean I like britney but again this is nothing different. Sounds a bit like it could’ve came from the black album or circus album. Vocals and britney should not even be said in the same breath its no secret that brit is not that strong in the vocal department. Other than that how can y’all say this is the s*** kelly rowland and kelis have been making music like this and still no fanfare. It’ll do good just off of her name though and if she has a hot video. But trust and rest assure that Beyonce and Lady gaga will most def do better then this
No shade but Britney hasn’t sounded this strong in years and there isn’t alot of auto-tune on this track.
So kudos b****.
@ Mateo I know you not trying to throw shade at the Female Artist Of The Decade. Bey is going to slay your girl just like she has been doing for the past decade, Britney wish she had a quarter of the talent that Bey got, but you are the same d***** that thinks this song is EPIC. EPIC is an artist that can sing live without missing a note and dance for over 2 hours in a concert that’s EPIC now tell me can Britney do this?
I’m with Amazing. Lee
I like it, but her previous songs are way better in my opinion. I was expecting something outstanding since this is Britney after all. This just seems too generic to me. I still most likely will be hooked after a couple of listens.
@ BEYGREAT
lol there’s no need for name calling, alls fair in war and stanning but keep it classy 🙂
besides i didnt throw shade or take away from beyonce’s accomplishments at all. plus i know she’s a bad ass performer (i went to her I Am… tour in Denver) but thanks for the reminder lol
all i was stating is that beyonce tends to be a copy cat (deny it all u want, the evidence is out there) and that she’ll probably end up following the trend of dub step once queen britney makes it big (which is inevitable)…
WHOEVER SAID THIS:
I agree with ROAST YO BEEF.
This song is OK, but its not the best Britney song.
Gimme More was waaaaaay hotter then this.
It sounds kinda rushed… and all over the place. I dont like the arrangment…
…And I agree with BEYSOBREEZY when he says that some of you are easily impressed… YOU ARE, lol. You get manipulated easily by media. This song will bore the hell outta of you after it gets over exposure on the radio etc. I hope she has better songs on the album.
But to be honest im looking forward to Beyonce and Lady Gagas new stuff… and new artists emerging like RITA ORA (Rocnation).
_ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
i agree w/ all of it… it aint THAT good not at all.. now i dont gotta write alot LOL
The beat annoys the fluck out of me…
I only like the bridge. The rest is just – WHAT I’VE HEARD BEFORE. Bye Britney
sounds like she took a trip back to the beginning when she was singing for tweens and teens. britney fans are sooo easily pleased by anything she drops. they’re so sucked in and deluded there’s no such thing as bad when it comes to her. all they know (and really care about) is ” IT’S BRITNEY B****!”
lady gg may get a lot of hype but at least she presently has talent (to britney fans: talent means can sing, dance and maybe even write songs . she’s not being gloried for he!! raising sales from almost 10 years ago.
AAAAHHH SHE BBBBBBBBACK ITS BRITNEY B****!!!!!
oh god get over it haters already, THE SONG IS FIRE so stop shitting yourself and just enjoy the song.
@ Mateo the whole industry copies each other why do you think there is so much electronic music on the charts today and before the whole auto-tune crazed and I’m sure Cascada and Robyn can say Britney stole there sound. Beyonce has never copy Britney there styles are totally different
Did someone just r*** my ears?
This song is AMAZING ! She definitely is the queen of pop ! 😀
There is nothing unique about this song and you can substitute anyone else’s vocals and it would sound the same. It is autotuned to death and again there’s no vocal ability, yet her fans are screeching about its epicness. Again, SMH at the deluded stans. Now we can look forward to lipsynching performances while she stands still and let’s the dancers do the heavy lifting.
instant headache quick where is my Excedrin
Lol at people saying that “this one,” and “that one” is Britney’s best song. For your information, Britney has released PLENTY of great music. And this didn’t just start all of the sudden. Do I need to remind you guys of the Baby One More Time and Oops I Did it Again eras? Britney is one of the few artists that successfully changes up her style because she still manages to be true to who she is within her music.
The production of Hold it Against Me is off the charts. I’m very impressed with it. But being that Max Martin was one of the producers that does not surprise me. We all know that Britney doesn’t have a strong voice, but you can’t deny that for someone who doesn’t have a strong voice, she always sounds amazing on her songs. I can’t say that about anyone else who doesn’t have a powerful voice but Britney.
This screams, “It’s Britney, b****! And I’m back.”
im not a BIG FAN of britney spears, but i repect her work, and enjoy her music. This song is nice, IT IS DUBSTEP–if u dont know what that is research it please. AND SHE SHOULD BE COMMENDED ON THE FACT THAT SHE DOESNT USE ALMOST ANY AUTO TUNE. U CAN HEAR HER VOICE AND SHE’S NOT WHISPERING IN THAT KITTY S*** VOICE. I CAN IMAGINE HER HAVING A HARD DANCE BREAK IN THIS SONG…IT WILL PROBABLY BE NUMBER 1 AT SOME POINT IN TIME
This song will do very well on pop radio, over the sound systems in clothing stores that sell to gay men and t*** white girls and those audiences deserve some music too…Now, for those of us who like upbeat songs that take actual RHYTHM to dance to I will wait for BritBrit’s full CD. I am sure she will have something on there for us but she MUST cater to her core audience first….
If Britney is the 2011 competition, I don’t think Beyonce should be worried AT ALL. And I am not a Beyonce fan. If I were in Gaga’s camp I would try to ensure that my new stuff isn’t gimmicky because that’s where she will come in direct competition with BritBrit. If Stefani is cooking up some classic, danceable pop then she will be fine. She has the talent to transcend this comparison.
AND YALL NEED TO STOP IT ACTIN LIKE BRITNEY WAS THIS BIG SINGER TO START WITH. SHE CAN SING THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS..LISTEN TO VIDEOS OF HER SINGING ACAPELLA OR LET GO FROM BLACKOUT WHERE U CAN HEAR HER LOWER REGISTER…the song is nice, so what its generic….she’s been doing this kind of music for years..calm down..what do u expect the girl to do.sing R&B?? what much can u do its pop music for christ’s sake..
Now, if this was Rihanna, Trent wouldn’t hesitate to call it generic. It’s not my cup of tea, but i’m pretty sure it’ll be a hit.
*Waits patiently for Beyonce to return*
Now Trent explain the difference in what Rihanna is putting out to this basic crap I just listen too. Now Bey can I get a release date for a new single, the game just hasn’t been the same since you left
@Mateo
on your last comment, PULEASE stop with the copying thing, lets us not forget britney whole last era she copied her long time rival AGAIN xtina on the whole circus thing..but she is a trendsetter, Britney have been copying strippers and vixens for years. the whole “Baby One More Time” era was from a porno.lol so dont act like miss britney is not a copier.
britney fans should not come for gaga, nobody is selling albums like in the 90’s early 00’s…so sales dosent really matter, but talent, britney i need to see a video quick, because this song is already played out to me, and i’ve listen to it about 5 times trying to get in to it, and i just cant..
@Anthony the Great
preach
Sorry, I like Britney but this is…
GENERIC = HIT these days.
Its just your “TYPICAL BRITNEY”, Thats Why I dont understand her Fans Hunger for her new album, Isnt it gonna be just like all the others to a certain degree?? I Hate Gaga but Atleast with Gaga shes capable of switching it up way or another (still Generic but she’ll switch it up nonetheless). This right here is something KEE$HA could have easily come out with!!
Cant wait till Bey Drops with a REAL Single. 🙂
Beyonce been warned with this Crap? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! DEAD. LOL
Another Generic song that won’t see a Grammy
sounds like something cascada would sing
Really?? Is this Kesha (or whatever her name is!)? Generic, not bad but… she can´t sing and didn´t contribute to the creating procces. Just don´t understand why Britney is famous.
I´m not a fan of Gaga or Beyonce but seriously at least they can do some good things
@ Amazing.Lee:
Preach sister, PREACH!!!! I can’t believe that the VERY SAME PEOPLE (Sam & Trent included) who are too quick to call Rihanna, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Gaga and even Beyoncé generic are quick to praise this b******* mess of a song. NEWSFLASH PEOPLE, THIS IS NO BETTER THAN THE VERY MUSIC YOU CONSTANTLY B**** AND MOAN ABOUT!!!
And I seriously cannot understand WHY Britney appeals to anyone now. I could understand in her dominant years 1998-2004, because she was still physically attractive, her music was still catchy and not as generic as this s*** and the majority of her fans were still teens. But now, what? Her music has zero value now, and I’m sure that when she goes on tour she’s just gonna pull a Rihanna and just walk back and forth lifelessly onstage. Oh yeah, and she can’t sing. Yeah, she’s a nice chick who’s conquered a lot of personal demons, good for her, but are you telling me that you’re gonna buy her album out of sympathy? I don’t care if she’s your fave, if my fave put out a garbage song like this, I would NOT support it no matter who it is.
And Trent, why would Beyoncé and Gaga be warned? Unlike Britney, they can actually sing, actually perform and aren’t puppets for their producers and labels. If anything, it’s Britney who should be scared, not the other way around. We’re gonna see how enduring Britney’s appeal is when this album is released. Sure, this song will inevitably go to #1, and maybe even the first week sales of her album will be big, but after the hardcore delusional stans grab their copies, what then? If Madonna dropped a new song, I know you would never say that Mariah and Whitney have been warned.
And you guys have NO RIGHT to bash Rihanna when you praise s*** like Britney and Ke$ha. Talent-wise, she isn’t any better OR worse, and her music slays both of them. Your bias is too obvious now.
Also, “Oops I Did It Again”>>>>>>>>>>>>> “Hold It Against Me”
@ IREALLYDONTCARE:
I’m sick and tired of people making excuses for a song being undeniably GARBAGE by saying “oh, it’s pop music, what do you expect?” Um, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Janet, hello? There is s*** music in every genre, but I never hear anyone blame the genre itself when an artist puts out crap, they rightly place the blame with the artist and not come up with b******* excuses.
Britney and all these stars need to stop hying up their s***, we just end up dissapointed. Well it will be #1 but this is not that great honestly *Kanye Shrug*
Am a Britney fan but this is absolutely s***, it just repeats itself and it sounds dated. Sorry but if shes gonna be bringing crap like this out she needs to just stop making music. Ive loved her music for yrs but since ITZ, her albums and songs have been rubbish. Its the same old thing, over produced and completely auto-tuned voice, yes I know she hasnt got the best voice but its not that bad to completely change it to the point it doesnt even sound like her. I dont think shes into performing and making music anymore, her songs in recent yrs just sound rushed, and her performances have been a joke to be honest, walking around the stage, lip syncing sorry its just not good enough, on her last tour she was charging a lot of money for tickets, the fans are paying to see her and shes not even making an effort its out of order, I think the only reason shes still doing it is because shes made to, shes basically a cashcow to everyone around her and without her doing all this they dont get anything. Shes a very lovely, sweet girl but I just had to say it, maybe harsh but its true am not just gonna kiss her ass and say its great when its not. I will continue supporting her and wish her well but she needs to make more of an effort.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BRITNEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG!!!!!! YES YES YES B FANS B LOYAL NUTTIN TO WORRY BOUT LET THE NON BELEIVERS CONTINUE, DONT NEED EM! YES YES YES!!!! 2011 ORIGINAL DOLL!
(PS F*** ALL THOSE HATERZ DISGUISED AS FANS POO POO ON U BOO BOO
Well I like it maybe it is because I loooove DUBSTEP
But I have a question WTF ARE YALL B****** TALKING ABOUT BRITNEY IS A TREND SETTER WHEN RIHANNA DONE DUBSTEP ON RATED R SO B**** PLEASE SIT DOWN RIHANNA WAS THE FIRST WIT IT NOW BRITNEY RIDING HER TREND!
I like the song That Break is DIIIIIIIIIRTYYY! Rapes your hear ahhh M A D But the song is ok nothing to scream about god dame it even MADHOUSE Hold it against me (but I think this will go to number one but s&m slaaaaaaaays this and will block it for a good while)
Beyonce does not really need to be worried Gaga is the one that needs to be worried because the media have already put them against each other!
This is the second person I think will do will in the UK. She is going Dimond you watch
well
I like Brit and dont have a problem with her but this song is rubbish. Christina is so much more talented than her and her song NMT is way better than this, yet again she was getting so much stick for her recent stuff and there’s Brit who hasnt made a really good song since Do Somethin and has to use autotune in all her songs and gets praised and everyone saying shes amazing and great. Sorry she doesnt deserve all this praise as much as I like her, Christina is the one who should be doing well and getting noticed she has the voice and talent but shes the one that is getting ignored and people trying to ruin her career. I know people have different taste in music but the music industry is a load of s*** now, its all these talentless artist like Rihanna, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, and Lady Gaga that are taking up all the radio and music channels and not the people who have actual talent, I havent seen for yrs a really good song with a really talented singer getting the number one spot, its just these artist and other no talents. BTW before some people try to reply back getting rude, its just my opinion so get over it.
Why should Beyonce be worried? If anybody should be worried it should be Gaga, because she is the one the mainstream media is is comparing to Britney. Beyonce is in her own lane away from those two. I don’t like Beyonce and her music may be s*** at times, but at least her music is not following the trends of these other typical pop stars.
And I don’t even think Gaga should be worried either, because from what I hear her album will be more rock than generic pop this go around. So, Yeah.
The only ones who should be worried are the Ke$has, Katy Perrys, and Rihannas of the world.
Madonna, Gaga and Beyoncé are sitting now somewhere and twittering with each other about the new Britney song:
Gaga: LMAO
Madonna: OMFG
Beyonce: LMAO.
And speaking of Ke$ha.
Who still replaces a S with a money sign. That went out in 2005.
LATE.
Oh and if Rihanna had released this song I BET ON MY SOUL people would be bashing Rihanna like s*** because of this. I PROMISE YOU THAT.SMDH Britney has been SLACKING. Honestly Gaga and Beyonce will come harder than this. She better have some good s*** on her album. I’m highly dissapointed in this song and her vocals are just blech!Shame shame shame Britney!I don’t care if it goes to #1 or not. This is garbage compared to some of her stuff.COME ON BRIT! You had us thinking this would be f****** amazing, what the hell is this?Smh, it’s the production that is good that’s about it and it’s a boring song. Who can actually dance to this?Just that break maybe but Idk I’m disapointed
This is Britney so dont even doubt about it, it will be number 1, she can release anything she wants and it will be number 1, she’s on a whole different league at this point and isnt it amazing how Britney after a breakdown that could destroy most artists, managed to survive and maintain relevance, all this posts confirm it, haters and lovers, they all cant stop talking about Britney. Britney is after all the artist from the late 90’s/early 00’s pop wagon that stood the test of time, who will be next? Gaga? Rihanna? Kesha? Katy Perry? only time will tell.
And I agree Britney and Beyonce should not really be compared………Sure Britney is an icon but Beyonce has been in her own lane for awhile and ain’t no one touching her. Gaga and Britney are not gonna stop her either.Lmaaaaao!
Garbage? But this will spend more weeks at #1 than Gaga and Beyonce’s singles combined. Stay pressed.
And people really SHOULD not be comparing Britney to Gaga. Lol that’s like comparing Rihanna to Beyonce. It just doesn’t work……
BRITNEY KILLED THAT F***** BRIDGE I CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS F***** VIDEO! THIS B**** NEVER DISSAPPOINTS HER FANS….I THINK SHES GOT HER FIRE BACK
I SEE BEE STANS & GOO GOO GA GA STANS ARE PRESSED AS F*** ON THIS POST!

I love britney and all but I have to be honest the song isn’t that bad too bad…. it won’t do anything more for britney this song couldve been a bonus on circus but it’ll probably do well for her.

Its ok but If you seek amy >>>>>>>>>>> Hold it against me… I don’t thin bey,gaga,or brit should be nervous of one another. If anyone should be scared its the newbies and lesser artists!! Brit doesn’t have much of a voice and she’s lackin in talent but she pleases her fanbase with pop cuts like this so shell be ok this go around. Its annoyin but not suprising that tgj. Bashes rihanna and bey for generic music but praise katy perry’s performances,keshas techno bull, and gagas repetitive music. There bias is obvious and that’s why I don’t take their criticism seriously as a blog.
ATTENTION BREAKING NEWS: HOLD IT AGAINST ME HAS BROKEN THE RECORD SET BY BAD ROMANCE AND ONLY GIRL FOR MOST SPINS ON FIRST DAY OF RELEASE!!!!!!!!!
PS THIS SONG SOUNDS SO GOOD IN MY CAR I SIMPLY CANNOT RIGHT NOW!!!!!! IM DEAD…..
BRITNEY IS BACK AND READY TO SLAY THE OTHER BASIC B****** THIS YEAR
This song is orgasmic. I bet the video is going to be mind blowing. She’s totally going to pull out some amazing dancing skills. Britney’s never been the best vocally, but the best at entertaining. She’s an entertainer. SICKKKKKKK!
@TC ; D DONT LISTEN TO @ROYAL KEV HES ON EVERY BRITNEY POST ALWAYS BASHING HER ITS HILARIOUS!!!!
AND DEAD AT THESE FOOLS CALLING THIS SONG “GENERIC” ….THE BEAT ALONE IS FLAWLESS!! THE CHORUS IS HUGE AND INSPIRED!!! THE DUBSTEP BREAKDOWN AND TRANCE-LIKE PULSATIONS THROUGHOUT SNATCHES ALL UR FAVES WIGS!!! BRITNEY IS A TRENDSETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BELIEVE IT!!
OHHHHH AND ITS OFFICIAL BRITNEY HAS BROKEN THE RECORD FOR MOST SPINS AT RADIO ON THE FIRST DAY OF RELEASE!!
GOOGLE HAS ALSO ISSUED A STATEMENT SAYING BRITNEY SPEARS HAS SLOWED DOWN THEIR SERVERS!!!!
I CANNOT!!!
GAGA AND BEY THE BAR HAS BEEN SET VERY HIGH!!!!
I know some britney fans are enjoying her song but I just wanna know this, where’s the depth? This song is talking about the same things other dance songs are lust, with sexual inneundos. Also where’s the epicness? I like that this song has dubstep influences in the production but its still not really a cut above most techno out right now. Finally do you think this song will be remembered for years to come? I just don’t see this as groundbreaking or different from every other song out but time will tell. #thatisall#
LMAO @TURE BLUE IS SO PRESSED RIGHT NOW!!! HUNNY, UR ALWAYS SAYING THAT BRITNEY WAS IN HER PRIME FROM 1999 – 2004 U SOUND LIKE A DELUSIONAL BROKEN RECORD!!!! SHES AS BIG NOW AS SHE WAS BACK THEN!!!! ALMOST 13 YRS IN THE BIZ ANS STILL SLAYING!! SHE JUST BROKE ANOTHER RECORD TODAY…MOST SPINS AT THE RADIO ON FIRST DAY OF RELEASE!!!! SHE IS HERE TO STAY SO GET USED TO IT. THE WORLD LOVES HER. AND THIS SONG IS FIRE!!!!
ok ppl stop the hate lets be real. You know when this songs hits itunes rihanna or anybody will not be #1. this song will go straight to #1 or #2. by the time beyonce comes out everybody else will be on their 4th single. beyonce team already said she not coming out till april or may or even later. i doubt beyonce would put her album up against gaga or britney or taylor etc. i like beyonce but if i had to choose i wouldd buy britney or gaga album
OMG! I cannot at Bey stans!
I can bet fvvkin .20 cents that this hella nappy headed thief won’t come out with something remotely as hot as HIAM.
Thiefyonce hasn’t released a good first single since 2003, and her trash is MOST definitely generic. At least Brit has set music trends.
BOMT, Toxic, S**** 4 U, Everytime, HIAM>>>>>>>>>Corruptyonce’s entire catalog.
At least Brit does have some original tunes in her catalog, while Beyonce’s fake corrupt ass doesn’t have an original bone in her body.
HIAM is different than what is on radio for the simple fact that the song is a mix of Dubstep/Electro Pop/Dance. People will not be able to name too many songs on radio that sounds similar to HIAM.
Instead of worrying about Britney, you all should be concerned about fake songwriting diva NOT being able to top Single Ladies.
B******, bye.
@NICHOLE U TELL THOSE DELUSIONAL BEY STANS !!!!! ACCORDING TO THEM, THE ONLY ARTIST WHO HAS “ORIGINAL” SONGS IN BEYONCE…DEADDDDD AT THAT!!!! THIS SONG IS A REFRESHING CHANGE FROM WHATS ON THE RADIO RIGHT NOW…NAME ONE OTHER SONG ON RADIO RIGHT NOW WITH DUBSTEP IN IT??? HMMMM???? FOOLS!!!!!!
BRITNEY IS A TRENDSETTER
I ALSO LOVE HOW KANYE AND JAY Z HAVE A SONG COMING OUT LATER TODAY BUT ALL ANYONE CARES ABOUT IS BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!
*RUNS OFF TO REQUEST HIAM ON THE RADIO STATIONS*
And the great reviews are in! Four stars from Rollingstone magazine!
Britney Spears
“Hold it Against Me”
By Rob Sheffield
January 10, 2011
“Hold it Against Me” is prime Britney, packed with aggressive electro jitters, a Euro-cheese riff that’s strangely close to AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,” and a weird breakdown where Brit moans, blows kisses, and snaps her gum. The first single from her upcoming seventh album, the song (co-produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke) recalls the synth-gloom ambience of Britney’s 2007 gem, Blackout, possibly the most influential pop album of the last five years. The lyrics head toward Austin Powers/Benny Hill territory: “If I said I want your body now/ Would you hold it against me?” It isn’t hard to hear a tinge of desperation in Brit’s digitally processed growl, especially in the line “You feel like paradise and I need a vacation tonight.” But even so, “Hold it Against Me” promises great things for her album, aside from the overall jaw-drop factor that Britney has hung in there to make a seventh album at all
@Nichole
Copyonce and Thiefone is so cute yet so predictable. Come better B****.
And everything Britney has done has been typical ass pop music. Nothing out of the ordinary. And please name a song a song Beyonce has done that has followed trends.
I’ll Wait.
REVIEWS SO FAR FOR HIAM:
Rolling Stone gave it 4 out of 5 stars today saying; (thanks Chilly)

LOL @NICHOLE JUST READ THAT REVIEW TOO ROLLING STONE LOVES IT
OOOOOOOO LOL I LUV IT1! THIS BLOG IS ON FYAH 2NITE!! HA HAAA. HATERZ MUSTA NOT KNOW YALLL!!!!! LOL WE BRIT FANS COME HARRRRRRDDDDD!!! YES YES THIS SONG IS APAT OF MY DNA NOW HEHE 🙂
HOW LONG DOES EVERYONE THINK IT WILL TAKE FOR HIAM TO REACH NUMBER 1 ON ITUNES WHEN ITS RELEASED TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT???!?!?!
I love Britney but I also love Beyonce & GaGa, they all bring something different and should not be compared, besides I dont think neither GaGa, Britney or Beyonce hate each other as their stans do, grow up people.
….@TUMAY……dont hold it against us lol
@ Nichole:
LOL, and Britney is original and a songwriter? I say every song Ke$ha has made sounds just like H.A.M. This song is interchangeable with any other s*** electro-pop song that’s on the radio at the moment.
Ain’t nobody pressed sweetie, just you. Clearly Beyoncé has you feeling threatened that she’ll (inevitably) s*** all over your fave. You can throw out your “Copyonce” and “Thiefyonce” insults all you want, bottom line is Britney is no better at all in that regard and unlike Beyoncé, she can’t sing or perform. All she has is her past glories.
Oh, and Beyoncé has a lot more hits in her catalogue than just “Single Ladies”. Most people thought she would never top “Crazy In Love”, clearly she has proven those people wrong several times over as well.
Another great review from Los Angeles Times!
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2011/01/snap-judgment-hold-it-against-me-by-britney-spears.html
Entertainment Weekly refers to HIAM as “Classic Britney.”
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2011/01/snap-judgment-hold-it-against-me-by-britney-spears.html
E! Online said that when it comes down to finding that PERFECT DANCE BEAT, BRITNEY DOESN’T DISAPPOINT.
More great reviews on the way!
Great reviews from E! Online, LA Times, and Entertainment Weekly! Keep em comin!
LMAO!
Britney do you see what you’re doing to these ass-clowns??? LOL!
She’s killin em! Get ready for a Britney take over!
@TURE BLUE GET OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! UR ASS IS WACK !!!!!!!!!!!! BRITNEY HAS ATTAINED SUCCESS BEYAWNCE WISHES SHE COULD. HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT BRITNEYS FIRST CD HAS OUTSOLD BEYAWNCE’S WHOLE CAREER SALES? HAVE WE FORGOTTEN BRITNEYS TOUR GROSSED 40 MILLION MORE DEPSITE PLAYING LESS SHOWS???? EVEN GOOGLE CANT HANDLE BRITNEY AS SHES SLOWING DOWN THEIR SERVERS TODAY!!!!!!
PRESSED MUCH???
i love it but i’m pissed why do the U.S. get to download it tomorrow and people in the UK have to wait until the 20th February.
@ Kyle:
Has Brit matched the success of that album since, though? What about Britney’s last couple of CDs, have they outsold or even came close to matching the success of Beyoncé’s albums? Remember, you’re comparing someone who’s put out six albums to someone who’s put out three. I’ll wait…
@TRUE BLUE BLACKOUT SOLD 3 MILL WW WITH NO PROMO AND CIRCUS SOLD 5 MILL WITH VERY MINIMAL PROMO. UR FAVE WISHES!!!!! ALSO HIGHEST GROSSING TOUR IN THE US…BRIT IS HERE TO STAY
ALSO IN THE ZONE SOLD 10 MILL WW BEY STABS ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY IT SOLD LESS THAN THAT
THIS IS THE CLUB ANTHEM OF 2011
I like Britney and definitely think she’s the top Pop Princess in the game (although Lady GaGa is on her heals) but her fans need to stop saying she’s the Queen of Pop, that title will FOREVER be owned by Madonna.
Calling Britney that is like calling Bieber, Usher, or JT the King of Pop…that’s just isn’t right as that is forever MJ’s title.
Michael and Madonna set the standard of what pop music should be, they’re true icons and originals. They are the the artists who all other artists strive to be, they wrote their songs, they danced their a#ses off and made some of the most memorable songs in history.
I think Brit has made some catchy songs, this one included, but there is no way anything she’s done has topped Like a Prayer, Into the Groove, Vogue, Ray of Light etc…Madonna is simply way ahead of all other females in the game despite the fact Britney might have been prettier at one point, Mariah/Whitney better singers, and Janet’s better dancer but Madonna is the one with one upped them all by combining all of those qualities and making the best pop songs of any female pop artist which is why she’s the Queen of Pop.
But back to Britney, I like this song but it sounds like album filler from Blackout (I love that album) but it’s by no means stronger then Womanizer (one of the best songs of her career).
My Brit Brit has the lesser artist stans MADDD Honey …They Know there favs are slayed already!!
*Sashays Out the post*
I like Britney. Can not wait to see the video!
I’m a Britney fan but this is worse than the demo. Except for the beat which is way better than the demo’s. GREAT bridge though.
S****** is trash! B**** can’t sing, can’t dance, can’t act, etc. What can this b**** do? LMAO!
BTW, This is crap!
This is ridiculous. I’ve been a Britney fan for over a decade and her albums have always been fun pop tunes that I dance in the mirror to. But, this track is a mess and a complete let-down. She can come harder than this. As for Beyonce, what about her? She’s already surpassed Britney in industry recognition. Legends have cosigned her talent, her peers know she’s the real deal (Vh1’s Greatest Artist of All Time List) a list comprised by people working in the industry; Mariah Carey, Janelle Monae and others all voted for her. LMAO @ those who call her music generic. Really? The woman is an old soul exposing the world to genres that are being ignored in mainstream media. The chick will go down as a Legend, while Britney will be remembered as a poster child for those who are not talented enough to maintain. As much as I love Britney, she’s always been big amongst producers for one reason: She has no sound of her own; that’s why Rihanna, Gaga, and Kesha could all have done this song and we would have gotten the same results.
Well @true blue pretty much summed up any arguments I had for the britney stans carry on 🙂
“Hold It Against Me” is three minutes and fifty two seconds long. It is a dance-pop song that blends pulsating industrial and trance beats with elements of grime.
TRENDSETTER MUCH?????
Oh, Beysus and GodGa are most certainly not worried at all.
The God’s do not see Brit as a threat.
This is generic as hell. Beysus & GodGa are steps above generic (Well, in some cases GodGa is a bit generic, but still..)…moving along.
This song is………….cute.
WHY SHOULD BEYONCE BE WARNED WHEN SHE’S CLEARLY BEEN SLAYING BRITNEY SINCE 2003?????
@ true blue…
you really live up to your name when laying it out about britney!
her career is kept afloat by hugely delusional fans that, like a trick, lay down major dollars for her and get screwed.
@ xxx faye face xxx…
britney is no competition for christina in the talent department. like you, i’ve also thought for the longest that some are out to destroy christina’s career. the media is totally on ‘team britney’ constantly beat christina down or just ignore her altogether.
LOL so much hate, dont worry guys this song will be a worldwide smash no matter what, with just one day out is climbimg charts all over the world hella fast.
@TrueBlue
First of all, I adore that picture of Janelle. My guitly pleasure as of late has been her Archandroid album. It’s just so sonically amazing.
Anyways, although I agree with the majority of your comment but I have two things that I kind of disagree with/wanted to say:
1. It’s amazing that Britney, whom, let’s be honest, has next-to-no talent at her current age is able to be THIS successful. As you said, Ke$ha makes songs like this but Ke$ha is unlikely to ever reach a Britney Spears level of success.
2. I agree with the fact that Beyonce has major success over Britney, but you also have to take into account that Britney doesn’t promote her albums even close to the magnitude that Beyonce does. Britney doesn’t do multiple re-releases, many singles, or even a lot of interviews/performances aside from touring. That plays a role in Britney’s lesser success.
Well this song is defintely going to get loads of play in the clubs here in Vegas. The break was NICE the rest was cool. I think Brit is giving her audience exactly what they want, so for those expecting more I don’t know what to tell you. Britney isn’t know for her artistry but as a performer so that is where she should “shine”. I hope she has a bit more “pep in her step” when she performs this song in video and live because as a dancer I want to see some fantastic choreo and what she has been giving was not the business.
I’m sure this will do well because it’s Britney and her fans would buy an album of her babbling incoherently backwards because they love her and mostly everything she does. Good dance song, hoping for a great visual with this.
THis is it, this is it….i tried to be nice to britney stans because i like brit brat, but you guys trying to come for Beyonce & gaga, just needs to stop….i can tear britney spears down when it comes to sells, charts, and talent with bey & gaga, but i wont waste my time on fighting with people i dont know…she is Known for being tabloid hype, not her talent to te world..
300 comments in 24 hours…more than any other post this year…If you are not a fan then you are just Pressed to be in here…
February 13th 2011.
THE SONG WENT NO WHERE…THE BEAT AND PRODUCTION IS WAT MADE IT HOT…ANYONE CUD HAVE MADE THIS SONG AND PROLLY WOULD HAVE EVEN TAKEN IT SOMEWHERE!!!!
@ rihanna forever…
britney does not do self promotion (more than likely too stressful). however, most of the media and radio stations get behind her with ginormous super hype never showered on an artist without them making a personal appearance.
christina promoted her ‘bionic’ cd and movie ‘burlesque’ on almost every media form in existence and as soon as she stopped so did any press mention of her or her projects.
not only does britney have the media and music industry checking big for her, but she has fans (some wildly obsessed ) campaigning over the top for her. there’s blog sites where fans encourage each other to buy multiple copies of her cds, call radio stations, repeatedly , tweet her and her producers concerning her releases. one site even stated fans were tweeting president obama (were they kidding…don’t know).
with the media, the music industry and ravenous her fans at her back , she’s getting all the promotion any celeb would ever need.
Horrible!!! tacky beat+tacky lyrics=disaster
only reason she is at number one is because of her fan base. she cannot sing at all what so ever.
Britney has produced better, there is way too much tech stuff on this record but that seems to be her thing these days. She sang alot better when she was a young girl to me. This track is ok. She’s still around making music purely cause of the fans… without the fans it would be “oh remember when Britney”… lol
Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s footing in the music world, is not even going to shift a little bit!!
I loved the sound, I waited less than that will have to improve
? surely … britney is unpredictable others? envious
ahmm this song is just ok..she done much better songs than this..
it didnt really make me want to listen to it again and again.
i saw someone say “Gaga will struggle in this era” but i’m pretty sure she’s doing alright and more people are talking about Born This Way than, wait, whats Britneys albums name? You never hear anything about Britney, her break has been too long now, i think she should just give up. This song doesn’t cut it to be the lead single off the album and to be fair, if she could be assed to sing live then she’s not gonna be assed to promote her album, it will flop.
Gaga, is the front woman in popular song right now. Rihanna & Katy Perry following closely behind.
yes people are easily impressed…shes had way better songs..i still love her though.and yes she is and always will be better than christina aguilera,katty perry, rhianna,kesha and all other wannabes ohh and lady gaga
not really a britney fan .. to be honest cant stand her .. but i do actually like this song!!!
IIIIII LOVE THIS SONG …………………. IS BERRY GOOD… I LIKE SOOO MUCHHHHH……. I LOVE YOU BRITNEY ………..YOU ARE A MASING
My favorite section of Hold it Against Me is the 56- to 57-second dub breakdown section of the song that just builds up in momentum. It breaks away from the typical song-verse-chorus pattern when that section comes on. Leaves me mesmerized every time I hear it! You just imagine Britney and her dancers doing s*** dance moves on the live concert shows when that part comes up.
