my prerogative

Britney Spears' all time worst song. It gets too much hype for her using 2 tones in her voice through the entire song. The sex appeal of the music video was sub par to her "uniquely" scandalous clothing such as jewel suits and tight leather. In the "My Prerogative" music video, she simply rolls around on a bed in a concealing bra and a pair of bland panties. Not as sexy as she was aiming for.
That "my prerogative" song really sucked, especially with the music video
