( L - R ) Cherine Anderson, Britney Spears - file photos
Today THE STAR brings back the hugely popular Mus Buss column. In this weekly song review feature three musical minds, with different tastes, will analyse each song and will grade it on vocal ability, lyrics, musical arrangement and appeal. Songs that make the grade will be dubbed 'Mus Buss', while songs that flop will be dumped in the 'Caan Buss' bin.
The three reviewers welcome feedback from the artistes and the public about the column. Send your comments to buss-dem@hotmail.com or mail in your songs to 'Mus Buss' at the Gleaner Company, 7 North Street, Kingston. This week the muss buss/cyaan buss team will be reviewing the Cherine Anderson and Britney Spears remix of Piece Of Me.
Lady Boo: "It's always a disappointment to hear Britney."
Witch: "Why yuh hate her so?"
Lady Boo: "It's disappointing to see di fall of Britney and what a mistake Cherine made."
Witch: "Cherine sound too raw to mi, she trying too hard and mi tink of her as a sweet conscious girl, not some ole skettel."
Lady Boo: "Yeah mi nuh know bout sounding too ghetto, she soun too hard fi Britney tone, it stand out too much."
X Factor: "It nuh really mesh, yuh can see seh dem record it separately."
Witch: "It's not di best remix I've heard from a reggae/dancehall artiste wid an International star."
Lady Boo: "Cherine need fi get over it, when did she ever see har face a headline Gleaner every week?"
Witch: "Ray ..., mi love fi hear STAR and Gleaner big up inna di background of di song, wi large - di artiste dem love seh wi name."
X Factor: "Di Britney part nuh sound three bad. But dem coulda mix in Cherine better, it just soun like when a sound system selector a try talk ova di mic to give it a dancehall flavour but dat is not di only way to bring across dancehall."
Lady Boo: "Britney just sound too delicate 'gainst Cherine."

Lady Boo: "Dat mi seh too."
Witch: "Mi nuh see it a buss here either."
