OOPS!... I DID IT AGAIN was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. "Oops!...I Did It Again" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
This second album by the former Mouseketeer turned nymphet heartthrob breaks little new ground compared to BABY ONE MORE TIME. The formula here remains, deliberately, the same: a candy-colored mix of Eurodance, hip-hop, and old-fashioned pop ballads. As before, the lyrics split the difference between "Baby, I love you so bad," as in "Can't Make You Love Me," and "Sorry, I think of you just as a friend," in the title song.
There are also some genuinely amusing moments, as in the conversational finale of "Oops!" in which Britney, after being informed that her boyfriend has recovered the jewel the old lady dropped into the ocean at the end of the TITANIC movie, replies "Oh, you shouldn't have." Most of the stuff here is, of course, transparently disposable pop, but to give Spears her due, she's a far, far better singer than any of the mall-rat pop stars of the late '80s.
| | Editorial reviews | 3.5 stars out of 5 - ...Fantastic pop...with much better song-factory hooks than 'N Sync or BSB get....Britney's demand fro satisfaction is complex, fierce and downright scary, making her a true child of rock&roll tradition.
Rolling Stone (06/08/2000)
...Reminds us once again that the best new pop can be a blast of cool air in a stifling room....palpitating, bass-heavy constructs...you'll feel as if you've been whisked away to some steely futuristic gotham... - Rating: B

8 out of 10 - ...She's modern-day pop perfection realised in a nearly, human form....the songs get into your brain like ketamine. An all-encompassing, horrendously realised high...
