Sadness... all around

Those new videos won't work for me.

Can anyone tell me if even one of them features Britney singing a cappela? No backing tracks, no musicians, no mic, no computer assistance? And if they do, is she actually doing it well, or does she sound like a bleating lamb?

You beat me to it.

Whenever someone mentions a (usually top 40) song they like, I'm always like, "Antares" and no one has a clue what I am talking about.

That said, I like Brit's last album a lot.

My audio software has auto-tune too. I think she''s a decent singer. her voice doesnt bother me nor am i blown away by it.

I think she can sing,but to me, she often sounds like a mature munchkin from the Wizard Of Oz. Usually so on fast dance tracks.

Two of them are acapella. Why don't they work? They work for me. Anyway, you're so stooped in bias there's really no point in trying to convince you anymore.

Search youtube yourself for Britney singing Like a Prayer and Overprotected acapella.

Just pretend I'm talking about Mariah or Christina

It would help if the critics here would actually watch the videos I provide in order to create a balanced point of view. It's like you're all too afraid in case the videos prove you wrong.

One of my former roommates is a huge Britney fan, and played her music all day. I think it's safe to say I've heard a good chunk of her music. None of it impressed me. Her voice is average, at the very best.

I'm not "stooped" (the word you're looking for is steeped) in bias. I have ears that work. Britney's singing voice is just not that good.

I have no idea why the videos won't work. My computer won't let them play though.

Try searching youtube yourself.

but they CAN sing

Alej said:

Sure but their careers are pretty much over at this point. Mariah's stuck in a creative rut and Christina's latest is without a doubt her worst.

purplesweat said:

at least they can sing

Alej said:

Check out the videos in this thread.

I think Britney is a great dancer, but I am not into her as a singer. Her voice is annoying especially when singing ballads. But I do couple of her songs. I love Slave for instance.

Brit =

The girl is an entertainer - just like Janet is.

She might not be a great singer but I don't care what anyone says, she's a great entertainer that makes millions very happy.

*You* might not like what she does, but that doesn't automatically mean that she isn't good at it.

Commercial success doesn't say anything about quality of the product.

How about The Da Vinci Code? What a stupid, steaming piece of crap that was. And it was so succesful, they made a movie about it!

purplesweat said:

I already told you, I've already heard most of her music, and I don't think it's that good. What's a youtube search going to prove to me that a year of living with a hardcore Britney fan couldn't?

JustErin said:

Oh, she is a good entertainer, and a fairly talented dancer.

But we're arguing over her nails-on-a-chalkboard voice, not her choreography skills or ability to sell records.

Bad Singing ... without the 4 computers and Eletronic background singers in her song ... but needs the computer , without it ....bad singing.

I don't blame people for not searching. I know a lot of her songs, non released album cuts too, some of those are better than the singles and are really well written, but her voice ruins them

I'm not gonna watch b/c I don't want the epitome of talentlessness to suck minutes out of my day I just don't find the chick entertaining. I know lots of people do, but lots of people eat McDonald's too... & I don't, my tolerance for certain kinds of crap is just over with Honestly, I never understood the fascination w/ her.
