- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS): 
- In the Background section's first sentence, there needs to be a period after "Oops!... I Did It Again." The remainder of the sentence should be a new one, beginning along the lines of, "This marked the first time..." etc. The critical response section is too scattered: one second, you're reading about a positive review, and the next, you're reading about a negative review. This section needs to be more organized. In addition, the reviews that call the song "a clockwork synth stomp" and a "sleazy electro groove" need to be removed as they do not actually review the song. When the article discusses a reviewer calling it the most outrageous song from the album, this needs to be made clear if it's a positive or negative review; if it's unclear, remove it.
In Chart performance, "On April 11, 2009 the song" → "On April 11, 2009, the song." "peaked at number nineteen on the Hot 100," → "peaked at number nineteen on the Billboard Hot 100" because there are several Hot 100 charts. "before getting to thirteen" → "before reaching the thirteenth position" or something similar. In the music video Concept sub-section, "while all the guys" → "while many men." "one of them dressed with the schoolgirl Spears wore," the word "outfit" needs to come after "schoolgirl." Remove the period at the end of the section. In the Reception section, "Everytime," "I'm a Slave 4 U," "Stronger," "Toxic," "Womanizer," and "If U Seek Amy" should be surrounded by apostrophes and not quotation marks as they are all mentioned within a quote.
The section Reaction to the song's lyrics should be moved to a subsection in the Reception section. (Actually, Reception should have the subsections Critical reception and Public reaction; Chart performance should be its own section.) In this section, "you know? [..] It's not about us" → "you know? [...] It's not about us." In the sentence where Common Sense Media is mentioned, again "If U Seek Amy" needs to be in apostrophes, not quote marks.

- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- Sorry, but due to the ongoing genre dispute, I'm going to have to fail this GAN. This is, for the most part, a well-written article, however. Work on the issues I mentioned and try to reach an agreement on what the genre should be, and try for GA again soon.
