4 out of 5 stars great job.......2002-12-14

Finally this girl comes out of her shell. She says things that make sense. The lyrics and music are great. This song is more of an adult song (due to mature content) so kids have no business with this.

What I didn't like was the remix. It was awful. She needs to really study how remixes are done to make a crossover to a r&b/urban market. I mean I have been to the clubs in Detroit (not southfield, not pontiac but detroit) and DJ's felt like this was a joke. And if it doesn't work out there then you know it wasn't very well received elsewhere.

Overall the song shows she has the ability to put fourth better music.

5 out of 5 stars A New Millenium, A New Britney.......2002-12-04

As the first single from her third solo album, "Britney," Britney Spears returned to the airwaves with this single that not only caters to the listening preferences of young teens, but also to an urban/dance crowd. Utilizing strong beats and having somewhat of an urban, yet rap-free feeling, "I'm A Slave 4 U" is one of Britney's best singles ever. Gone are the days of singing about adolescent love and other themes cornered by the numerous teen acts out there. This single introduces a new Britney, one in the same caliber as Cristina Aguilera, where she wished to express the she is no longer a little girl. The video for this song validates this, as we see Britney as a now sultry, determined woman willing to explore her carnal desires. This song also marks a first for Britney as it became one of her few songs to successfully cross over to urban audiences (who loathe boy bands and teenage vixens). After it was remixed by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, urban audiences accepted Britney as a member of the genre and their has been no regrets.
"I'm A Slave 4 U" definitely marks a turning point in Britney's career. I only wish that top name remixers such as Thunderpuss, Hex Hector, and/or Johnny Vicious had done remixed versions of this great song. Regardlessly, it's a great song that breaks the music mold set already in place by numerous, and usually talentless teenage solo artists and boy bands.

5 out of 5 stars THANKS FOR THE INTERVIEW BRITNEY!.......2006-01-08

I ALWAYS THOUGHT BRITNEY WAS GREAT BUT THIS CD/SINGLE PROVED TO ME THAT SHE WAS EVEN GREATER! I LOVE TO LISTEN TO INTERVIEWS BY THE FAMOUS PEOPLE SO THANKS BRITNEY! ALSO INTIMADATED WAS A GOOD SONG SO THIS IS A MUST BUY FOR BRITNEY FANS!

4 out of 5 stars Buy it for Intimidated!.......2004-05-26

Britney is amazing. Her voice isn't that strong, but she still manages to make funky, groovy dance tracks, mixed in with her usual pop formula. This is why she continues to be so successful the world over.

1. I'm A Slave 4 U (Main Version) (4/5)
This is also known as the Radio Edit. It is Britney's oddest single to date. It has such an unusual beat. It goes completely away from the normal Britney pop, and into more RnB beats. It's good, albeit a little weird. I like the lyrics though, and the funky beat. This wasn't such a big hit in America, but went top ten in a lot of other countries. It was the first song off the "Britney" album.
2. I'm A Slave 4 U (Instrumental Version) (4/5)
I used to wonder what the point of instrumentals were - but now I know. They rock - I love them. This is basically just the music from behind "I'm A Slave 4 U", without Britney's vocals. It shows off that odd beat even more. Instrumentals are great, and this is no exception. I'll rate it the same as the song with vocals
3. Intimidated (5/5)
This is the high point of the single! This is an amazing song. It has very electro rock sounding music at the beginning, teamed with Britney saying "Ooh, I see you over there. Don't be shy, come here" in a sexy voice. Britney actually sounds good on this track, unlike other songs where her vocals are weak. The chorus is very catchy. This song is about not being afraid to ask someone out. I also love the "B-R-I-T-N-E-Y" part in the middle. I love it, one of Britney's best songs.
4. Interview (4/5)
At the time of this single release, this interview was up to date. Now it's not, because it's over 2 years later. But this is a good indication of how Britney was around the release of this single.

Cover art - Britney looking gorgeous as usual.

Overall, a good single with a fantastic bonus track that should have been on the mainstream albums.

5 out of 5 stars best.......2003-12-30

I love this song. Reggae feel to it. The beat alone is great.

1 out of 5 stars Poor.......2003-12-21

This single is poor. This song are terible. I don't recommend to buy any singles because there are just 1 song.

4 out of 5 stars Not that bad..........2003-12-01

Teen singer Britney has grown up, and although her voice hasn't improved that much, her lyrics try to express the feelings of a woman instead of a girl. Seeming to be heavily influenced by Vanity 6's "Nasty Girl", this song is Britney's first attempt to record something sexy and while she is no Janet Jackson and her childlike voice doesn't fit the song, it is still better than most of her other songs.

    5 out of 5 stars I'm a Slave 4 U [Import CD] ~ Britney Spears.......2005-04-30

    This track seems to be very much influenced and inspired by Prince. There is a raw sexuality and desire that is not present on her songs and in her lyrics till now. I am a slave 4 u is filled with erotic lyrics, prvocative vocals and a very nice beat and sound. Spears looks awesome on the cover and I like what she is wearing allot even though it is not that skin tight suit that is she wore in the oopps I did it again video.

    5 out of 5 stars Pretty Good single for Britney Spears.......2003-07-22

    The first song on this single "I'm A Slave 4 U" is a Prince inspired sleek R&B songs with a slinky urban beat. it's pretty good although when I first heard it on the radio I thought it was kind of stupid. But after hearing it again at a friends house I became interested in the song.
    The second song "Intimidated" is a wonderful funky mix of R&B, pop, and dance with chunky electro-beats. The song is full of attitude and confidence and should have been on her album instead of just being the B side for a single.

    5 out of 5 stars Very Underrated Song.......2003-03-11

    "I'm A Slave 4 U" was the first single from Britney's 2001 self-titled album. Although it was a hit, cracking the top 40 and climbing to #27, this song should've been huge. With the possible exception of her debut single "Baby One More Time," this is her best single hands down. Catchy, with a great beat *and a great music video* this is great pop. Plus, Britney's vocals are actually pretty decent. The Neptunes did an awesome job on this.

    5 out of 5 stars A Slave To The Music.......2002-08-03

    The first single off of Britney's third album, "I'm A Slave 4 U" is a move into dark, sexual R&B, with the help of producers du jour The Neptunes. Sounding like a new Prince single, she groans, grinds, and pants over seductive lyrics, explaining how devoted she is to the dance and the heat of a club. A great single, a disjointed bump and grind b-side follows in "Intimidated". An instrumental of the Neptunes production, and a slightly confusing interview are also featured, but the main draw here is the lead cut and it's b-side companion.

    5 out of 5 stars I'm A Slave 4 U - Britney's raunchiest single to date!.......2002-12-22

    I'm A Slave 4 U was Britney's first single from her highly-anticipated third album titled simply Britney. The song was premiered at MTV's Video Music Awards 2001 on September 6th. A tidal wave of controversy had swarmed prior to the event when news leaked out that Britney would be dancing on stage with real animals such as snakes, tigers etc. The show went ahead and Britney danced with those animals - not nominated for any awards, she stole the show with the performance of I'm A Slave 4 U. I must admit, the prospect of hearing Britney move into a more grown-up territory with the advent of R'n'B songs was an interesting thought for me - and I'm sure all Britney's other fans around the world. At first listen, I thought I'm A Slave 4 U was a good song - not her best, but not a total disaster. Over time - after taping the MTV performance - I began to love the song after watching it again and again and again...trying to learn those moves on the breakdown! The song begins off with Britney singing, "I know I may be young, but...I've got feelings too. And I need to do, what I feel like doing - so let me go...and just listen." Declaring her maturity and increasing independence, Britney makes an overall successful crossover from Teen Pop Queen to Seductive R'n'B Mistress. This said, however, it is rather unusual for a hugely successful artist known for the pop genre to act out this transition when on only their third album. Needless to say, Britney felt this is what needed to be done - so she did it and it was a smooth crossover. I'm A Slave 4 U peaked at No.4 in the UK and was a huge No.1 in many European territories. The album Britney was also another success shifting 15 million copies and topping the charts in the USA - it was Britney's third consecutive US No.1 album...she then became the first ever female artist in history to have her first three records debut at No.1. Working with the super-cool Neptunes (masters of R'n'B/Hip-Hop), Britney ensured that she came up with a song that was very cool and downright sexy. Britney lost a lot of her teenage fans, but in her place were a new, more mature audience of 20-something adults...interested in the music, not the image. Surely this is more rewarding at the end of the day.

    The video to I'm A Slave 4 U assured that Britney was now a woman. Face licking, panting and groaning were all highlighted topics in the video that obvious caused controversy. The beat on I'm A Slave 4 U sound very tropical and jungley, and is arranged in the most effective and catchy way. There is also a six-note beat in the background that is created to sound like steam being released from a pipe as Britney sweats around in the video, along with a shimmering beat towards the end. Along with I'm A Slave 4 U, you also get the Instrumental of the song, which allows you to fully appreciate all the musical wonders of the song in question. There is also another bonus track, Intimidated, which is a superb Rodney Jerkins produced R'n'B song deemed not good enough for the Britney album. All in all, I'm A Slave 4 U is my all-time favourite Britney song because it's just so mature, funky, wild, sexy and downright dirty - buy it now from Amazon.com!
