I was in college when her first album came out and Baby One More Time was all over the media. I always thought the music was tacky, calculated mainstream pop, but you couldn’t deny her appeal–she appeared as if she was crafted from a laboratory to appeal to the type of kids in that specific generation. And probably more than a few adults as well. Her handlers knew exactly what they were doing in her presentation.
Still everyone has their own tastes and I’m probably not in a position to criticize anyone else’s given my love of some of the tackiest 80s New Wave.
