Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
The reviews for Britney’s “In the Zone” are in … and they’re not so good. OK, they’re not “Gigli” bad, but critics didn’t pull many punches.
Rolling Stone: Beyond the glittering beats, Spears sounds about as intimate as a blowup doll.
The New York Times: Ms. Spears works hard to prove that she’s hot-blooded, although she sounds colder than ever.
New York Daily News: Spears doesn’t so much sing as heavy-breathe in rhythm.
Hartford Courant: “Underwhelming” is generous, actually, because Spears can’t sing.
New York Post: Get out a bucket of cold water and lock up the children ’cause Britney Spears is in heat.
