i think rihanna and britney's style on this song had umph! i don't think britney came across as corny at all. i think britney's nasal tone also helped give her part that umph.

her nasal sound's not new. she sounded just as nasal on hiam when she was droning thru the line "hey over there, please forgive me". if you wanna talk about corny this and ttwe are as lyrically lame as they come (you feel like paradise and i need a vacation tonight...pleeze!).

at least the s&m lyrics don't make britney sound like she's singing to a bunch of preteens. i usually don't care for britney (although 'big fat bass isn't bad' ) but i must say when it comes to s&m "i like it, like it, like it"!
