Britney Spears: Isolated Mic Track, Isolated Fans

Music ain’t what it used to be and there are lots of reasons for that– exploitation of artist integrity from managers, labels trying to survive in a digital age, technology in engineering records etc. but these reasons are a part of what makes us want to send a really talented musician to Hollywood to play in-front of the right people.
Here’s Brittney Spears doing her ‘thang — she looks good doing it but how does it sound? Well, this isolated feed from her mic settles that argument quick as can be. Before we roast her, do take into consideration her rise to stardom at an early age, her agents, label pressure and craazy fanbase, but all things considered, she can’t sing well and it shows that her music is not, well, music-oriented.
I remember when Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins were replaced for this and the Backstreet Boys– right in the middle of my high school years! It’s totally unforgivable to have ‘Freebird’ as your class song. (Do you know what its like to sway awkwardly for 13 minutes on a boat on a chemical infested river? Neither do I since I was playing poker with the busboys in the kitchen).
Anyway, my point is. Dixon Drums wants to give someone who is clearly talented a chance to get out there and play in-front of people who are looking for talent and we think you have what it takes. If you haven’t already, click here to join our YouTube group and submit yourself playing a drum solo on our Demon kit at a store and you’re elligible for all kinds of stuff– including a free set, a trip to Hollywood, a chance to play in-front of A&R execs while being filmed for a TV special! To quote Britney: this is a world where anything can happen.

i still think brit can sing. she was awesome back in MMC.
i don’t like the voice her production team and managers tell her to use these days (there’s such a discrepancy between her MMC voice and her “sex kitten” voice of today…).
but she can sing.
she just sounds horrible in these isolated tracks coz she’s been dancing for like how many minutes straight? anyone would be out of breath and off-key.

I agree with pocahontas. she can sing.
i’ve always wondered how singers can dance and sing at the same time (behold, the power of pre recording and lip synching), coz i remember trying to and failing horribly.
even pre-concert nerves can make you out of breath you know.
you try.

Hey, Whatever… Check out Axl Rose’s performance on the Use You Illusions tour. He’s running like a madman, and he manages to do his job. There’s no excuse for what I just witnessed.

I guess this is just an unsaid thing in the pop music performance world that lip syncing happens. Since there are not any musicians to look in some pop music performances, they need to have something appealing like and attractive performer who can dance and sing, along with all of the backup dancers, lighting, and a cool set. Today’s audiences are jaded, so the producers need to dazzle them with all of this. My 2 cents.

I am a fan of Britney Spears ever since the 90s, wayback then she was a very sweet teenage girl that everyone adores.

Britney Spears may not have the most beautiful voice but she is a very good performer and her music suites her personality.

there would be no other pop star that is as sexy and talented as Britney Spears. this girl is really amazing, she was popular in the 90s and even today.
