Britney Spears: 'Womanizer'

Released on Monday, Nov 24 2008

Published Wednesday, Oct 8 2008, 13:06 BST | By Nick Levine | 30 comments

She's gone from bleary and bloated to glossy and foxy, made a triumphant return to the VMAs and lined up a mouth-watering live appearance on The X Factor. All Britney needs to pull off the comeback of the year - nay, decade - is a killer single. Thankfully, 'Womanizer' is more than up to the task.

Sounding like a great lost track from last year's Blackout album, this robo-pop stomper is sexy, as unshakable as a guilty secret and packed with sass. "You got the swagger of a champion," she tells the titular philanderer. "Too bad for you, you just can't find the right companion." Is it good enough for number one? Definitely - and you'd need a heart of stone to wish against it.

What a load of twaddle this record is. Robotised voice, unnatural singing from an untalented live singer. She belongs in a studio. Do not let this person loose on the public.

So rubbish it may top the charts

I think that this song is made for number 1 but i doubt it will get to number 1 with stiff competition from Leona Lewis and last weeks number 1, The X Factor

To be honest I don't think this is strong enough to get to No.1. Don't get me wrong, I like this song but it's not brilliant. Good enough comeback, but Gimme More was far better!

As a 15 year oldgirl, i really like it. Not usually something i would have expected from Britney, but i like it. Quite catchy aswell.

Loving the track, keep playing it! If I had to choose, I prefer Gimme more over Womanizer, but yay, Britney's back. Again! Looking forward to Circus!

Just one of these songs that sticks in your head and won't leave! It's brilliant, and it's great to see her looking like her old self again.

One word - EXCELLENT!! This is Britney at her best. An amazing comeback and overall a fantastic pop track! And the video - well the video speaks for itself - she has pulled out all the stops to prove that she is the new queen of pop - move over Madge - Its Britney Bitch...
