"Spears cover sounds nothing like Bobby Browns original tune and that is not a bad thing since she is supposed to put her own stamp on a cover track and not just sound alike since then it would have been a copy and not a cover. It is rough, angry and filled with venom and she looks quite made on the cover as if she is about to have a fit of rage. I like it allot and it shows that Spears is not one dimensional."

"Has it ever entered your mind as to why people listen to Britney Spears? I would expect a pervert to be too busy watching cheap porn, a redneck to listen to musical trash such as "Redneck Yacht Club" (get the corresponding titles?), and a lonely person to spend his or her time staring at the wall... being, well... you know LONELY... as you claim. Twelve year old girls? Aren't they still playing with Barbies? I guess you, my friend, are yet another person for whom there is no enlightening."
My Prerogative

"No other song from 2004 is more pretentious, calculated, and defiantly outrageous than "My Prerogative", in which Britney Spears becomes probably the first pop artist in history to consider Bobby Brown, a.k.a. Mr. Whitney Houston with a laundry list of legal offenses, worthy enough of covering. A year filled with an annulled marriage, a slight boost in her music career, tabloid coverage of barefoot gas station visits, a greatest hits CD with plans of retirement, and then another marriage just to get our knickers in a twist, and Britney exclaims over a snarling bass "everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me" as if she had done nothing but sit pretty on her famous ass all year. It`s difficult to take her woes of fame seriously, but after "Toxic" there's little room to deny that Ms. Spears/Federline is on a roll of producing some top-notch pieces of pop thrash. However brash and sleazy "My Prerogative" may appear, it's undoubtedly one of her catchiest efforts yet- further proof that all a pop star needs is a bit of laughable irony to erect a solid single."
Not the best cover, but still a gem

"I admit I didn't like this song when I first heard it since I loved the orginal from Bobby Brown. But then as i listened more, Britney grew on me. I think she did it better than Bobby to be honest. Very cool dance song. Buy it!"
