It’s been 25 years since Britney Spears dropped her iconic sophomore album, "Oops!... I Did It Again" and we’re finally giving it the CCTV treatment. In this episode, Chris and Chantel Nicole go track by track through Britney’s blockbuster follow-up, sharing our unfiltered thoughts on the vocals, lyrics, production, and pop legacy of each song. Did Britney level up from ."..Baby One More Time"? Was "Oops!" her best era? And do some of these tracks still slap in 2025? Whether you’re a lifelong Britney stan or just revisiting this Y2K-era gem, this review is for you.Join us on Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/CCTVPOPSFollow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/cctvpops0:00 - Intro1:21 - "Oops!...I Did It Again" Album Info2:11 - Album Cover3:36 - "Oops!...I Did It Again"12:42 - "Stronger"19:38 - "Don't Go Knockin' On My Door"24:48 - "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"28:48 - "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know"36:59 - "What U See (Is What U Get)"41:34 - "Lucky"49:02 - "One Kiss From You"52:56 - "Where Are You Now"56:44 - "Can't Make You Love Me"1:02:00 - "When Your Eyes Say It"1:05:31 - "Dear Diary"1:10:47 - Cut or Keep1:13:38 - Overall Thoughts & Final RatingReferences:“Oops!…I Did It Again” MV https://youtu.be/CduA0TULnow?si=-tEzixdiqxoBM0pI “Oops!…I Did It Again” Live at Top of the Pops https://youtu.be/zdwjvOVUTDg?si=UGe8m69nT54Lmmgy “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” & “Oops!…I Did It Again” Live at the MTV VMAs 2000 https://youtu.be/aWtv_MKip8o?si=Zk9DZoHuzCdqp2Fl “Stronger” MV https://youtu.be/AJWtLf4-WWs?si=_t_GUzw2XAiZZ83D“Stronger” Live at the AMAs 2001 https://youtu.be/5f0vIeIjp5M?si=1DsGTpm9DLVbCsJE “Stronger” Live at MTV Total https://youtu.be/aDpocqhjgMs?si=qQr9uwFoIHAOuo9M “Don’t Go Knockin’ On My Door” Live on Oops!

In Part 2 of our POP 101 look at Girlicious, we dive into the group’s "Rebuilt" era - complete with a new sound and look as a trio. We break down the rollout of singles like "Over You," "Maniac," and "2 in the Morning," and how the group tried to redefine themselves beyond their reality TV origins. But despite the glow-up, label changes and behind-the-scenes tension led to their quiet breakup. We also revisit the mini-reunions that followed and share our personal highlights from a discography that still deserves more love.Join us on Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/CCTVPOPSFollow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/cctvpops0:00 - Intro0:14 - "Over You" and "Sexy B****"5:06 - Natalie's arrest7:03 - "Maniac"12:39 - "2 In The Morning"15:08 - "Rebuilt" album20:40 - "Hate Love"22:40 - Chrystina and Natalie's departure; split28:09 - Mini-reunions and post-group activities33:13 - Discography highlightsReferences:“Only You” Official Audio https://youtu.be/QcKYQ0sQ3gw?si=SEWYY8doTEzIll0J“Sexy Bitch” (David Guetta and Akon Cover) Official Audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkka3LAB7ZU“Maniac” MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgjwywlSrZ0“Maniac” Video Rehearsal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLLLQKEzXRU“Maniac” Live Fancam https://youtu.be/tmhVzFeH-cg?si=9iWDPQ3TsNReS7FV “2 In The Morning” Live Fancam https://youtu.be/nJirj_ALZ_s?si=mpmb8o47J1fA6pohGirls United - X Factor Audition https://youtu.be/tO1yM3MYtTE?si=jyLQvNAtWlj2d6gvCarli de Ville’s Girlicious Deep Dive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Mz2z6yJbQChrystina Sayers - Testimonial https://youtu.be/nKe-GpHuyPA?si=PlfAIqe4MM7uO8ue Natalie dancing “Like Me” https://www.instagram.com/p/C-yItK8yVfl/ Queen Priyanka & Nichole Cordova performing “Like Me” and “Stupid S***” https://youtu.be/rixQtwTLVEc?si=ceXV9i4QFMYrK2vK

We dive deep into the rise of KATSEYE, the global group formed on Netflix’s Pop Star Academy. With their debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) out in the world, we take a critical look at whether KATSEYE is on the path to success or struggling to make an impact. From dissecting the Dream Academy challenges they faced during their formation to analyzing their debut singles, we unpack why their launch has felt underwhelming. Are they being set up for stardom, or are they facing an uphill battle for relevance?
