The overproduced and girl-on-girl anthem of 2003 got a bad rep. It wasn’t that horrible. The dance routine in the video was pretty darn cool. I even took time out of my busy unemployed schedule in 2003 to learn the pop dance.

Without a doubt, it is the best song for a workout. As soon as I hear the introductory synthesized vocals of Britney, the adrenaline starts pumping through my veins. It’s like audio steroids.

Oh wow. This song is really lame. What the hell are they talking about?

Yes, that was MC Lyte (I think).

There’s nothing like running along the Embarcadero whilst listening to a genuine ’90s midriff exposing, gyrating jam – especially if it’s sung by the sultry, breathy whisper of Janet Jackson.

In 2000, I think I was one of dozens and dozens of people who actually purchased Christina Aguilera’s Spanish album, Mi Reflejo. In fact, I think I bought the CD the day it came out.

I was a hardcore Christina fan. I even have her Christmas album – but that’s a whole other post.

If you really wanna have some fun, you should listen to “Genio Atrapado”!
