I've never heard the original song and have no feelings about Spears one way or the other, but I [heart] Lily Allen, and I like this version of the song. So, thanks!
We're leaning on Lily Allen to bring credibility to a Britney Spears song now? As much as I also [heart] Lily, her greatest contribution to music is the scraperboard sound on the chorus of Not Big (though it is a very good bit of scraperboard). Britney is a popstar. A proper one. She don't need Lily's help.
Just finished downloading it. Eep. Like the voice, but really not a fan of the acoustic jam sound. Get some bloody samples under there and we'll talk.
I guess that it sounds OK but I've never heard the original and only have a vague idea who Lily Allen is. I actually don't know if I know any Britney Spears songs, I'm sure that I've heard one or two by accident but I can't think of one.
