A A A Comments By David Wilcox and Anthony Mariani and Craig D. Lindsey Thursday, Mar 25 1999

...continued from page 2

The album wouldn't be all that if it weren't for Spears herself showing promise with every lyric she utters. On "Born to Make You Happy," she exhibits a smoldering, wise-beyond-her-years maturity. It's almost as if she were begging to be taken out of this sterile, bubblegum pigeonholing and be given some music that is worthy of her talents. If this is true, then fight the future, Britney!

-- Craig D. Lindsey
