"Don't Need You To Tell I'm Pretty" is not only a nice ballad, its lyric has a meaning. "The Boy" is a cool upbeat song. However, I recommend this single only if you have the Europea edition of the album (with the brown cover) and don't want to spend too much money. If you have more money, then buy the new edition (yellow & red cover) instead, the one which has 14 songs 'cause that one has these two songs and three more.

after "gotta tell u" and "baby come on over", this single is just not the one that can outcome the previous singles, it's better for her to sit and wait for a better material rather than just release a single just for the sake of it, it doesn't help!
better luck next time!

"Don't need you to(tell me I'm pretty" was a poor choice as a single after having two hits, "Gotta tell you" and "Baby come over", and maybe she thought it was time to release a ballad but why doing this when she still has some great songs that were singles in other parts of the world to be released? Body II Body would have been a great choice! Also "Always come back to your love" which spent like 2 months in the Top 10 in Europe, she even wasted "The Boy Remix" as a b-side on this single and it could have been a single by itself! However if you own the old edition of this album it doesn't hurt if you buy this cd-single since these songs aren't in that, but if you do own the new yellow edition then don't buy unless you are a die hard fan.
