Britney Spears: In the Zone is a busy batch of Britney-mania, much of it featuring Spears in crisp dance numbers supplemented by behind-the-scenes glimpses and chatter. The heart of this DVD is an ABC television special featuring toned-down but still sexy performances of "Toxic," "Breathe on Me," and "I'm a Slave 4 U." A fun highlight is Spears's hip-hop collaboration with the Ying Yang Twins on "(I Got That) Boom Boom," one of the few numbers in the star's stage repertoire with a little room for spontaneity. Between songs one finds Spears gushing over her grandfather, praising her entourage, describing the emotional toll of being in the public eye, and, most interestingly, talking a little about writing songs. Also included here is footage from Spears's Times Square performance on MTV, a couple of videos and related featurettes, and a CD including alternative mixes of "Toxic" and "Me Against the Music." --Tom Keogh

 Britney Still Rules And This DVD Proves It! May 4, 2004
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
Being the massive Britney Spears fan that I am, I knew straight away that I had to own this DVD. It was just released in the UK two days ago, and I bought it on the day it was released, which was also two days after one of the greatest nights of my life. You see, on Saturday May 1st 2004 I travelled to Manchester in England to see Britney Spears live on part of her Onyx Hotel Tour that is currently sweeping the world! My voice is gradually returning, but losing it (along with my head) was worth it just to see her up close! Currently on a Spears-high, this DVD was my most essential purchase for quite a few weeks, and I am very happy with it, not only because it contains so many brilliant features, but because it is a perfect addition to any true fans' collection!
People have complained that all the material on this DVD has already been on TV countless times before, but not everyone lives in America (I don't), so most of the stuff on here was new to me. The DVD cover is the same as the multi-platinum No.1 album "In The Zone," and this instantly makes the two sort of companions to each other. The first feature on the DVD is probably the best of the lot. It's the ABC Television Special - "Britney Spears: In The Zone" which was broadcast across America on the eve of the release of Britney's fourth album. In an intimate setting Britney performs to some of her biggest fans. She sings "Toxic," "Breathe On Me," "Boys/I'm A Slave 4 U," "(I Got That) Boom Boom," "Everytime," "...Baby One More Time" and "Me Against The Music." Seven great songs there, seven great performances. Woven in-between these performances are some brilliant clips of Britney during the recording process of the album. The best one for me is where Britney is in a Taxi and feeling free for the first time in a while - you can see tears in her eyes too. Very sweet!
After this fantastic feature, we move on to MTV's "Spankin New Music Week On TRL" Times Square Performance. This is yet another brilliant feature because we get to see one of Britney's first public performances of 2003 after her year-long hiatus. She sings "Me Against The Music" and "(I Got That) Boom Boom" featuring Ying Yang Twins Live. Both performances are brilliant and her pants are so cool! And her hat! After this, we move onto the full-length video to "Me Against The Music" featuring Madonna. This really is one of Britney's greatest music videos to date and was very pricey too! Two icons duetting on one spectacular, dance-tastic smash hit is a feast for the eyes! Everyone has seen this video a million times, though!
We then move onto a really cool feature, which is MTV's "Making The Video" for "Toxic." This has been shown before, but it's nice to finally own it for yourself. We see the brilliant production of Britney's true comeback song and we also see a really funny and charismatic superstar at the centre. The best bits are when Britney watches her old "Making The Video" series from years past, and when she breaks the plunger that she uses to climb up the wall, especially when she claims, "I am SO strong!" She's so sweet. Then of course we get the full video to "Toxic," which is absolutely spectacular! If this doesn't win multiple VMA's in August/September later on this year, there's something wrong! This is the song that has rightfully put Britney back on top in 2004 as the world's biggest superstar! A massive No.1 all over the world and one of the biggest radio hits of the past year has made this already an anthemic, classic pop tune. We then get "In The Personal Zone" which is a fantastic documentary in which Britney reveals all on Inspiration, Spirituality, ABC Special, Onyx Hotel Tour, TRL Performance and Toxic. We also get a really sexy photo gallery of Britney!
Also includes along with this DVD is a four-track Bonus CD. I have the UK Region 2 DVD version of this, so the two main songs I have are "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)" and "Girls And Boys." However, as an American purchaser you get "The Answer" and "Don't Hang Up," which are two brilliant songs (the former R'n'B, the latter Dance) that feature on my version of the In The Zone album! Very confusing indeed, but there's also two fantastic remixes included! These are "Toxic (Lenny Bertoldo's Radio Mix)" and "Me Against The Music (Bloodshy & Avant's Chix Mix)." I personally prefer the Toxic remix, but the remix of Me Against The Music isn't bad either!
OVERALL GRADE: 10/10
In the past we've received some brilliant Britney Spears DVD's. We've had "Time Out With Britney" and "Live And More!" which were both superb. We then had the rather disappointing "Britney: The Videos," followed by the amazing "Britney Spears: Live From Las Vegas" and "Crossroads." Of course, there was the brilliant DVD included with the book Stages that followed Britney around on the Mexican leg of her Dream Within A Dream Tour of 2002. I have to say though, that "In The Zone" is the best DVD/video that Britney has released to date! I suggest that if you're a big Britney fan you buy this straight away, you won't regret it!
Britney at her best. June 4, 2004
16 out of 18 found this review helpful
First of all I have to admit that I never thought that I was gonna buy a Britney DVD. I liked some of her songs and found her pretty and all that but nothing more, but when "Me against the music" came out, I simply found it excellent. So I bought the cd and then this DVD.
This DVD contains the videos "Me against the music" (feat. Madonna) and "Toxic", which to me is Britney's best song and video. The rhythm is perfect. Besides the videos you can find: "Toxic, making the video", Mtv's special performances, making the album "In the zone" and an ABC special. And finally besides the DVD you can get a bonus CD containing few songs and remixes.
You won't be sorry with this DVD even though you're not a Britney's fan. I can say this because it happened to me.
She is BACK and better than EVER! February 22, 2004

Britney Spears is at it again and doing it better than ever. If you want to see her most stylistic video to date (Toxic)in full DVD audio and video you can only find it in this hotly anticipated DVD. The DVD also includes unmatched live performances of Me Against The Music and I Got That (Boom Boom)from her TRL promotion appearances. It also includes the video for the event single of the year "Me Against The Music" Ft Madonna. A bonus disc with orginally unreleased music from P Diddy and Brian & Josh round out this must have package. Order NOW!!!!!
 1/2 A STAR. U NEED HELP. February 25, 2004
10 out of 44 found this review helpful
Oh God. "Shes back...shes back...the pop princess is back!", thats all B.S! She really stinks. Im sorry. Her toxic song makes me feel like Im taking toxic, killing me slowly. THe me against the music song tells us she really does hate music and wants us to follow her in another path. (Which is acting, but she is not that great in.) Then when Christina Aguilera was going to release her "Stripped: Live in the U.K" DVD, Britney wanted in. So she made up a DVD comprised of stupid performances, and idiotic songs. She really is a lost little girl, she does need guidance. Than when X-tina showed her true self, what did she do? That little biter. She is following her footsteps! She posed for MENS MAGAZINES. SHE WEARS SCAMPY OUTFITS. and for what? She dont look that great in it. Only Christina does, because she is showing her true self. XTINA show her the way (out)!
What a mess..... September 24, 2004

For one thing America spends way too much time worshiping this Madonna wannabe. Let's face it Madonna at least has mediocre talent. Ms Spears is talentless, she has a flat voice that is parallel to her stiff as a board dance moves. It's obvious on this album that while Spears is trying to find her nitch America keeps feeding her ego, allowing her to create the most flavorless entertainment out there and it's revered as classic. It's ashame that other artists have to overdose to have thier talents recognized meanwhile we have to be high in our own zones to get into her's. Not even the bonus DVD can save this release. What a waste of money!
