Lord Have Mercy! Unedited Britney Spears Vocals Hit The Net

Published: Tuesday 8th Jul 2014 by David

As any Britney Spears enthusiast will know, the icon’s ‘vocal issues’ first began when the chart-topping gems she recorded were produced in such a way that performing them live became a mission impossible.

Unfortunately, with the likes of ‘Luv the Hurt Way’ cast into the shadows of her auto-tuned smash hits, there are many unaware of the star’s true potential as a vocalist. Pretty sad if you ask us.

For today, proving that the singer’s use of auto-tune is more out of necessity than it is style, an unedited version of her ‘Britney Jean’ bop ‘Alien’ has surfaced…and it’s pretty bad.

Press play, at your own risk, below….

In response to the noise above, writer William Orbit explained:

Dearest Music Lovers, I have heard that Britney vocal link that everybody’s been discussing. It has been impossible not to as there have been many comments directing my attention to it. [I won’t be re-posting it here]. I’d like to affirm that ANY singer when first at the mic at the start of a long session can make a multitude of vocalisations in order to get warmed up.

Warming up is essential if you’re a pro, as it is with a runner doing stretches, and it takes a while to do properly. I’ve heard all manner of sounds emitted during warmups. The point is that it is not supposed to be shared with millions of listeners.

A generous singer will put something down the mic to help the engineer get their systems warmed up and at the right level, maybe whilst having a cup of herb tea and checking through lyrics before the session really kicks off. It’s not expected to be a ‘take’.

I think that 99% of you reading this will totally understand.Whomever put this on the internet must have done so in a spirit of unkindness, but it can in no way detract from the fact that Britney is and always will be beyond Stellar! She is magnificent! And that’s that.

Sincerely, William”.

  5. RICHIE_RICH July 8, 2014

      Lolol

  10. RoyalKev July 8, 2014

    I swear this year is so exposing! Nobody can get away with anything. I’m embarrassed for Britney after listening to this clip. I really think she should retire. I’m not saying this because I think she sounds horrible in this studio session (she’s never been a “vocalist”), it’s just becoming more apparent that she’s completely over! She sounds bored singing this rough draft and it actually isn’t much of a difference when she gives us the real thing too. All great artists need to know when it’s time to call it a day! … It’s really not a bad time to (6#1 albums/ over 100+ million sold later).

    • Hunter July 10, 2014

      The same thing can be said for your girl Brandy,..nasally voice and all, with no vocal range insight,.. she’s been done since 2000.

  11. CherylSoldier July 8, 2014

    And I was expecting worse from britney tbh. She still slays

    • truth July 8, 2014

      Coming from a Cheryl Cole fan, I’m not surprised. Cheryl Cole is the worst.

  12. Beygency July 8, 2014

    LMAO! This is mean! We all know Britney Jean can’t sing. Nobody has even truly been here for her vocals

  13. Miguel July 8, 2014

    Of the course the producer is gonna say she was just “practicing”

    He would never say “Yes, of course she needs the auto-tune, and everybody knows she lip synchs 99% of the time”… obviously. He is her co-worker and respects her.

  14. Briej July 8, 2014

    Well It’s alot of artists that stikll don’t have 1/4 of the talent she has. Yet nobody complains…. So At the end of the day IT’s Britney B****** Bow down Shes Has nothing to prove I knooow someo of you still be playing TOxic, S**** 4 u, and the Blackout Cd DOWN!!!!!!

    • dotti July 8, 2014

      name a single artist that you honestly feel doesn’t have 1/4 the talent she NOW has! try naming a female artist who doesn’t have 1/4 the talent that she once HAD!

    • Dem Lessors July 8, 2014

      Says an Iggy stan

  22. Briej July 8, 2014

    At the end of the day We all know we we’re never big fans of her singing Just her dancing. I mean look at madonna although she was an ok studio singer shes really can’t sing, Janet only had a few good live singing moments, But they like britney are live performers who gave great stage shows Hell Look at chris brown that boy use to could sing live to now just…………………..flatlined but I’m not surprised by this I’m surprised about the Powerhouse singers that lost it (whitney, Mariah)

    • TRUTH SERUM July 8, 2014

      Don’t even try to bring Madonna into this. She may not be a vocal powerhouse but she can sing without auto tune.

      • dotti July 8, 2014

        hard truth!

  23. Stephy July 8, 2014

    BRITNEY SPEARS IS NOBODYS LEGEND!!!! GET THE F**** OUTTA HERE WITH DAT SHITT!

    cake like gaga and slayriah lol…they done do e same thang rihicon,riri is queen and other dang peeps did…Yall talk s*** and then run from me ey mollllllly

  25. Diamond Princess July 8, 2014

    I’ve heard her sing live before and it wasn’t bad at all. This is what happens to your vocals when you don’t take care of them i.e. smoking, drugs. Anyways I would sue the f&$! out of the recording studio, producer, or who ever else partly responsible for this getting out. What happened to privacy? Like DAMN!!!

    • FAF July 8, 2014

      Right. She always had two voices one playful pop voice and one ballad voice
      Which was demonstrated in the YouTube clip .. SHes just incapable at times

      she sang live a few songs during onyx tour

      Her best vocal demonstration is ” don’t let me be the last to know “

  26. Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez July 8, 2014

    Now can we hear how Katy Perry sounds without her stage set, dancers and manipulated studio vocals. Pretty sure Britney can outsing her.

    • Childers July 8, 2014

      Coming from a Rihanna fan? Ha! Let’s hear that TALENTLESS wounded-animal sounding S*** with her abnormal shaped forehead & super wide p** nose sing without pitch correction and other studio magic that still largely fails at making her not sound like sh-t!

    • Perry Power July 8, 2014

      Hahahaha!! This is coming from a Rihyodel fan? Katy sings live acoustic sets every night on her concert and did MTV Unplugged. She sounds better then Rihanna everytime. Have a seat and find me when Rihanna can slay an acoustic set of songs she wrote and play an instrument. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQU-nS5kP08

      • Blue Ivy Career-Rodriguez July 8, 2014

        Rihanna has AOL sets from her Rated R days and prior. She sounded great and confirmed for me that she can sing but The only thing big about Katy are her tits. She has no vocal prowess, no head voice. She’s just a basic b**** that found success selling kids bop rejects to kids. Rihanna remains unbothered by that flop

  27. Carlitos July 8, 2014

    Exactly. No one has very said Britney has an excellent singing voice. Britney has not got where she is due to her skin color, so all you racist blacks out there, get a f***ing life. I’m sick of it, I really am. You’re the reason why people can’t evolve. So, either deal with it, or don’t worry about dragging somebody else down because of your insecurities. Britney is where she is because of hard work and dedication. She has put her everything into what she has today. Yes, her vocals are shot, but that’s probably due to the stress…and the smoking most definitely doesn’t help. I’m more than 100% that she has a better voice than the majority commenting on here. You wouldn’t be able to handle all the judging, which is why you’re probably taking all of your frustrations behind a computer/tablet/phone screen. Does it really make you feel that much better to constantly bring someone down? Disgusting. Y’all need a life, seriously.

    • dotti July 9, 2014

      @carlito…

      it’s hard to grasp for some that complexion always has and probably always will play a major part in the success of one’s career but it’s a fact. there’s no other way to explain how britney being a blonde-less talented-copycat of ‘janet’ could be perceived as the bigger star. many times when black star’s careers get brighter their skin grows ‘whiter’.

  28. sarah July 8, 2014

    I really believe she relapsed in-between the Circus to Femme Fatale eras and it carried over to the Britney Jean era. When she kicked off the Circus era she was fit and her dancing was amazing, but when Femme Fatale started she was lifeless and she appeared to have aged a ton in such a short amount of time. Even at the beginning of Britney Jean she seemed lifeless, but now she seems to be coming back. In her documentaries for in ‘In The Zone’ and ‘Circus’ they showed her recording in the studio and she sounded fine. People were never here for her vocals, but for her dancing and personality, and the mystery behind her career. These vocals aren’t good, but hopefully she returns to the confident Britney she was.

    • Carlitos July 8, 2014

      OMG! I concur! I honestly have thought the same thing. Something happened in that time between.

      • sarah July 8, 2014

        It did, she changed dramatically and in such a short amount of time. I feel terrible for her.

  29. Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez July 8, 2014

    Where are the Katy fans kii

  32. kingbeybitch July 8, 2014

    Lmaoooooooo

  33. Bubblegum B**** July 8, 2014

    This is old news everyone already had this discussion back in like 2003. still doesn’t make any of her fans like her any less. she never calmed to be this great vocalist. she got her fans because people genuinely like Britney as a person. Lets her raw studio sessions on Janet,Madonna,Katy,Rihanna, a lot of these new artist and you’ll find that they are no better.

  34. NT July 8, 2014

    Britney’s my fave but these vocals are beyond tragic… she sounds like she has ZERO confidence… and when she “sings” the stars my ears bled slightly

    • IStanForYourFav July 8, 2014

      Tell me why I still have that In the Zone DVD and was adwatching Toxic. Love that video even to date. I wanted all that glitter look so bad, that i remember laying all of the glitter on my desk and laying in it to get that look.I was such a “creative” little girl lol.

    • Dem Lessors July 8, 2014

      It so sad to see a fellow Britney stan turn on the queen. Judas!

  35. whoiam July 8, 2014

    Is this news, don’t everyone knows that Britney Spears cannot sing that well. I think even some of her fans admits that. I have an issue with your consistency. You highlight Mariah Carey, lip syncing on TV, your highlighting Britney’s awful voice but you do not for other artists you write about. How many times Chris Brown lip syncs when he performs, I did not see you highlighting too much performers on some of these award shows recently,You big up Danity Kane performances but you do not highlight how they are lip syncing or letting DAT pre recorded vocals do the work for most of their performances. I did not see you highlight them sing Poetry live on TV in Dec 2013 & tell your readers what a hot mess it was. If you are going slate one artist you should highlighting all artists you write about who lip sync or cannot sing very well

    • MC!!! July 8, 2014

      Shoot how many times have Beyoncé been caught for song infringement and plagiarizing.

      • rach July 8, 2014

        its called publishing rights…thats y Beyonce has always made more money than Britney… Even tho Britney has sold more.

  36. S****** Blonde July 8, 2014

    I don’t think she sounds that bad, i think she lacks passion. Some people forget that she was a phenomenon, possibly the biggest since Madonna and Nirvana’s explosion to mainstream, none of the Pop girl today nor Beyoncé for that matter has ever experienced that kind of superstardom, sales are a reflection of how big and popular an artist is, simply as that, she had everything that America wanted, a beautiful young blonde girl singing Poppiest songs, no talent required, America didn’t wanted to see this girl playing instruments or singing like Mariah carey, people don’t get it, Britney Spears is one of the greatest products made ​​in America, it’s part of our culture to love these characters, Marilyn Monroe is a perfect example of this.

    • Stephy July 8, 2014

      Child Please. Britney Spears was the biggest act since Madonna…? Huh…?

      • Fraud Ga’s Mother July 8, 2014

        she was!look up her sales no other female from that era eve comes close to Matching Britney’s sales tbh

      • Stephy July 8, 2014

        Ummm Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston HAD WAY BIGGER SALES…

      • Stephy July 8, 2014

        & CELINE DION

      • S****** Blonde July 8, 2014

        @Stephy
        I can guarantee you that no other female act after Madonna has been bigger, some of them have big sales like Whitney, Celine and Mariah, but they weren’t phenomenons, someone who causes earthquakes on Popular Culture, examples: Evis, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, get it.

      • Stephy July 8, 2014

        So, we gonna act like Whitney Houston’s DEBUT was not huge by going 13x Platinum & her BODYGUARD era was not huge at the BOX OFFICE & ALBUM SALES & SINGLE SALES! Goodbye! The Bodyguard era outsold Nirvana entire career…

      • S****** Blonde July 8, 2014

        @stephy
        You don’t get it, some artists have big sales but aren’t really a big star, to put it simply, Mariah Carey owned the 90’s with big sales, Madonna was underperforming with her sales but she was still the bigger star, the most talked about, ect, ect……Get it NOW?

      • Stephy July 8, 2014

        Gurl bye! Stop ducking & dudging! Mariah Carey was a lil singer nothing more nothing less. Im talking about WHITNEY FUCKKING HOUSTON! That woman had a huge impact on the industry! The Bodyguard era was & still remains the biggest era for a female act. Also, Madonna only was talked about because of her NASTY PUBLIC ATTENTION SEEKING PUBLICITY STUNTS! Her ass would do anything to stay in the lime light. Mariah Carey OWNED that decade with class… Until she went crazy in 2001…
        .
        But LIKE I SAID! Britney was not the biggest act to explode on the seen sine Madonna. It actually was WHITNEY HOUSTON…. Whitney was HUGE. VOICE TABLOIDS PERFORMANCES BOX OFFICE MOVIES & SINGLES DOMINATION WITH WORLDWIDE HITS… Something Britney really did not have…

      • S****** Blonde July 8, 2014

        You don’t understand of what i’m talking about, so…….

    • iHeart July 8, 2014

      Very nicely put.

    • Fraud Ga’s Mother July 8, 2014

      @Stephy i was talking about the 2000’s not the 90’s sweetie bless your heart.

      • Stephy July 8, 2014

        Gurl I was talking about what Blondie said not you to be honest. BYE

    • sarah July 8, 2014

      I agree. Her sales were massive and people were just so interested in her as a person. The world wanted more from her, but she couldn’t give anymore.

    • Dem Lessors July 8, 2014

      Yusss S****** Blonde! Britney is an icon, her voice is the most unique and instantly recognisable. She may not have the range of Mariah or Christina, but she sure is a great Entertainer who did reach heights of fame most of these Pop females wish for. To me she is a Legend!

  37. Applause July 8, 2014

    How can anyone stan for S***** vocal S******.

    • Fraud Ga’s Mother July 8, 2014

      How can anyone stan for fraud ga? with her ugly face ass, rat teeth having ass. she can’t even sing that well and steals other people’s ideas.

  38. Dossome July 8, 2014

    I’d like to hear unedited vocals of that other legend William Orbit worked with

    tbh,i’ve never liked Britney and Justin Timberlake at allllll,s***** singers,overhyped and overrated as f***

    • S****** Blonde July 8, 2014

      Madonna sings nice live, can’t say the same of Janet, she is superior on that TOO, oh and Justin is a musician, the guy is talented.

      • dotti July 9, 2014

        i like madonna but janet is just as good an entertainer as she is and a far SUPERIOR dancer.

  39. jfkasy July 8, 2014

    I don’t get it with people of course all pop singers are NOT vocalists you cannot expect vocals from a pop singer, it doesn’t make sense.If you care so much about vocals listen to RnB or some contemporary Amy Winbehouse type bullsh**t damn!I hate it when people get worked up by corny stuff, there are children dying of cancer as we speak folks!

    What do you people expect from pop music? it’s always been like that even back in the 80’s See Madonna , Janet, the real singers are in R&B Rock and even Country

  42. Charly July 8, 2014

    When you pour star quality, sweetness and sell albums like she did, 2 diamond albums back to back, it doesn’t really matter, others have to work really really hard to get noticed. Britney is not about the voice anyway, she just sold so much that it’s impossible to catch up.

  43. Stephy July 8, 2014

    @S******-Blondie! Ummm Britney Spears was not the biggest act since Madonna. Whitney Houston’s first 2 albums sold way over 20+ million copies & lets not forget Mariah Carey achieved 6 multi-platinum/Diamond albums only 6 years into her career. BYE..
    .
    Also, Nirvana sales were not that big especially compared to Whitney’s BODYGUARD sales in the same damn time frame 1991/1992… BYE!

    • S****** Blonde July 8, 2014

      But that’s about it, sales…..there’s more, Popularity, FAME ect, ect, Nirvana were bigger in that sense, also more acclaimed, Britney was a sensation.

      • Stephy July 8, 2014

        WHITNEY HOUSTON WAS A SENSATION!

      • JOHNVIDAL July 8, 2014

        Not more than 80s Whitney sorry! She was a huge sensation in all fronts, not just sales and respect.

    • Cowriah (number 1 lip syncher) July 8, 2014

      Britney was the youngest person to accomplish her 2 diamond albums, she still holds that record. she was the youngest person to sell a million copies of a album in a week. she still holds that record.

      • Stephy July 8, 2014

        She also is a lip syncing, overrated cannot dance piece of trailer trash shitt! BYE

    • RoyalKev July 8, 2014

      Oh Blondie, what are you doing today?
      Whitney >>>>> Britney/Nirvana (in Sales, Fame and especially POPULARITY).

      Whitney = The most awarded female singer.
      Whitney = The biggest era by a woman (way bigger than Nirvana’s peak)
      Whitney = More than a half Billion at the Box office
      Bodyguard/Waiting To Exhale >>>>> Crossroads

      I can go on and on! It wasn’t an accident.
      I actually get what you’re saying, Britney was a phenomenon! Her impact was huge … mainly for those initial 2 years. Still, Brit’s an accomplished artist (not taking anything away from her). There’s arguably about 5 artists that rival the claim you’re making regarding Britney as the biggest artist since Madonna. Heck, there’s some that are just as big as Madonna (imo). I’m not an MJ fan, but she’s not on his level. I still got love for you, but this post was making my eyes hurt.

      • IStanForYourFav July 8, 2014

        Yes Kev. MJ is simply the biggest superstar to EVER live

    • RoyalKev July 8, 2014

      Exactly! I don’t stan for MJ (not even a little bit), but I haven’t seen ANY of the ladies sell that 65 – 100 million like he did with Thriller. That album doubles the sales of Bodyguard. I personally think some of the women are more talented (bloop), but none of them as successful as MJ.

      • tits mcgee July 8, 2014

        Kev, this is why I love you. Some people on here don’t see the truth. Michael was a real phenomenon. People catching heart attacks, passing out, and trampling, each other at his concerts! He is King of Pop, everyone else besides The Beatles and Elvis are his lessor. No solo artist besides Elvis, ever created that kind of pandemonium.

    • dotti July 8, 2014

      not to take anything away from elvis but mj’s success was even more monumental because he was an international superstar.

  44. Beysus July 8, 2014

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  45. MC!!! July 8, 2014

    I still like Britney I heard her sing hit me baby one more time and she was okay and on star search she did good. Maybe like someone said she lost the passion for it. I would too if the media are me alive just look what happened to Whitney! Britney first cd is the s*** and that’s that!

  46. Barbie’s World July 8, 2014

    I still love Britney. This is like beating a dead horse, everyone knows that Britney was not that good of a singer. her music was more for Dancing, partying, working out.

    • IStanForYourFav July 8, 2014

      Yes. Agree. I still work out to her music. Especially theCircus album .

  47. BEYHIVE_MINAJ July 8, 2014

    DEATHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  48. Stephy July 8, 2014

    Britney Spears was the biggest female act in terms of sales (UNFORTUNATELY) of the 2000’s according to the SOUND-SCAN era…
    .
    But, in terms of RESPECT & RAW TALENT Beyonce DOMINATES the 2000’s… #16 GrammyAwardsByTheYear2010

  49. JOHNVIDAL July 8, 2014

    LOL Who expected better???? She didn´t deserve her success to begin with, at leats not as much.
    Dead @s****** blonde always trying to make it seem like Britney is that kind of memorable superstar who will prevail in people´s minds over real legends! LOL Boy, that was for a short period of time. Yes she was really big, but when it doesn´t come with something else (like in Madonna´s case), that power disappears. Not to mention it can´t be taken that seriously when it came mostly thanks to the t*** music success that quickly died.
    Just the other day, a 20 year-old girl was talking about how she loves the few times she goes to a karaoke and she quickly believes she is Whitney Houston. Even I was surprised that she mentioned her as an example, now, in 2014, but it´s the truth, and in Spain. Whitney will always be seen as a memorable singer and superstar. Nobody names Britney Spears already where I live. Even if her recent generic songs still sound on radio here (while Whitney, Mariah´s, etc don´t at this point except for the stations which play old songs), nobody will mention her in the future, as an example of anything. Hardly like Elvis, Beatles, Queen, Michael… and yes Whitney, who keep on being mentioned.
    Music and success can be unfair many times (more now than ever). But when it comes to the “few” names who live forever, rarely someone not super talented makes it. Britney will now be there. Sorry.
    And Nirvana? Hmm what a weird example.

    • Stephy July 8, 2014

      THANK YOU!!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME SENSE!
      ,
      SPEAK DAT TRUTH & SAY IT AGAIN!

      • JOHNVIDAL July 8, 2014

        Thanks!
        And I meant to say “Britney will not be there” 🙂

    • Cowriah (number 1 lip syncher) July 8, 2014

      but you stan for lady gaga so that automatically makes your opinion on anything and anybody else null and void and dead on arrival.

      • JOHNVIDAL July 8, 2014

        Did I say Lady Gaga will become one of these eternal names???????????????????????? NO. So yes my opinion is totally valid. Lady Gaga is one of the most talented artist in mainstream music right now. It´s not my fault. But we are not discussing that. We all know the quality of mainstream went downhill since 2000. And by the way, nobody is denying britney was a big success. Just giving our opinion on if she deserved it… and replying to @s****** blonde, saying it wasn´t as big and influential as the real legends and icons who will live forever. Just that. Learn to give some arguemnts or shut up. This was a reasonable discussing for once. Like the ones which happened in TGJ in the past.

  50. Stephy July 8, 2014

    Blondie, I know EXACTLY what your saying. & Whitney Houston actually was much bigger than Britney Spears & Nirvana EVER was… In terms of sales, popularity, influence & respect within the industry… BYE!

    • JOHNVIDAL July 8, 2014

      I agree. It´s f****** obvious. S****** has always been blinded by superficial pop phenomenons. But I will never let him pass this as fact. Britney won´t be remembered the way her thinks or wants. He always try to defend that idea but it´s not happening. I think he once said it will happen like with Marilyn Monroe, a pop icon forever LOL It´s not happening.
      When you watch any video about Whitney in the 80s and in the USA… WOW she was as big of a pop pehnomenon as Britney, or more. Only that also respected and delivering memorable moments which people now recognize as legendary in a real way. And then the early 90s worldwide with The Bodyguard… Britney never was as big in any way. How did Britney´s film did when she was still very young? LOL Exactly! And the song for the soundtrack… LOL yeah exactly.
      Thing is you can be a phenomenon, but at the same time everybody knows if it will last or not (even after death) just by looking at the talent displayed.

      Lord Jesus!!!! Fix it!!

  51. IStanForYourFav July 8, 2014

    I do think you all are undercutting Britney as a star. She has impact but she’s NOT the nicest star since Madonna. MJ is the biggest star in the entire world. I believe male stars overshadow female stars. Also, Whitney was a huge star. Mariah was a star. Someone like Britney, Xtina and etc. are pop sensations… I think you get my drift. People overlook a lot of these stars but the fact they have clones now (NO SHADE) MJ: Chris Brown Tina: Beyoncé Mariah: Ariana Madonna: Lady Gaga Janet: Ciara (ONCE AGAIN NO SHADE) just speaks volumes that they had huge impact and still have some type of star power to date. African American limited radio play and etc are broken down further by Whitney and MJ. Madonna and co aided in the controversial/reinvention barriers. Mariah aided in remix/ hip-pop/outcast (mixed mainly) barrier. And their impact has so much more than that. So I wouldn’t say Britney was the biggest star since Madonna. But I will say she had hits and some type ofstar pop sensation power. She probably would have grew more power of the breakfobreakdown didn’t harken. Just my take on it.

    • tits mcgee July 8, 2014

      Well written and very true, all of it..

    • dotti July 9, 2014

      xtina has the chops to move from the realm of simply a pop sensation. after all these years even though her last few singles were only collabs they still did very well on the billboard chart. as quiet as it’s kept her movie ‘burlesque’ and it’s soundtrack did very well. if she wasn’t splattered with consistent negativity (or just simply ignored) by the media she could be an artist with staying power and possibly legendary status.

  52. Xscape___ July 8, 2014

    You guys are overreacting. She always sounds like that.

  53. DIGGER BEY July 8, 2014

    So now people wanna act like Britney never had a voice? GTFOHWTBS! Britney had an nice airy soft voice. She wasn’t no vocalist but should could get the job done. And please people, Britney may have sold this and that but sales doesn’t make a legend. Abba sold way more and I rarely hear anybody say they were inspired by them. Legendary artist stands out due to great sales and urber talent! That’s not Britney! #SORRY#NOTSORRY

  54. Perry Power July 8, 2014

    Lol why is anyone shocked? Flopney never had a voice to begin with. She was nothing more then a glorified back up dancer for Janet Jackson. That’s exactly why her career is in shambles and a joke now. Her legacy will be a testament to how label controlled and manufactured pop stars was very successful in the early 2000s/late 90s. That doesn’t work anymore. Artist have to write their own material, produce their own music, and play instruments. Most pop stars today are actual musicians instead of glorified dancers like Britney. I’m glad that era of pop is officially dead.

  55. Insider July 8, 2014

    I believe i know who leaked this and his well out of order! I know first hand that he was very angry for 2 reasons, one that william took all the credit for the track and 2 that the version on the album is actually unfinished in terms of production, he had a better version of it ready, his been mouthing off to people in the industry and this is a low blow! Britney can sing, go check her on youtube singing You Ought To Know from Alanis Morrisette she sounds great! The problem is she is so controlled by management she doesn’t get a chance to have any freedom, Britney Jean is actually not how it was planned to be, she did amazing songs with Dev Hynes, that she wrote and had no processed vocals at all, Britney wanted Britney Jean to be a serious album that reflected her more as a singer songwriter, but management decided not to use any of the tracks and even dev has said in an interview that management don’t care about anything that Britney wants. Its a real shame cos the meoments in her career where she has been able to have control she is on point! She had no management during Blackout and she was the Executive Producer of that album and its her best album alomg with In The Zone where Britney was boss and started writing, and working with people she wanted to! she wrote and co produced Everytime as well as co wrote on other songs on Zone

    • dotti July 9, 2014

      ‘blackout’ was one of britney’s poorest selling albums until her fans campaigned to push it to 1 million two years after it’s release.

  56. DIGGER BEY July 8, 2014

    No biitch of this generation has seen more critical acclaim than KING B! That’s the road that leads to legendary.

  57. Perry Power July 8, 2014

    Lol since Katy destroyed every pop star this era stans seem particularly bitter towards her. No one needs to expose Katy for studio vocals, she uses her real voice every night on tour for the acoustic set. And if you still need more then look up her MTV Unplugged session.

  58. DIGGER BEY July 8, 2014

    Lmao That Marina Stan Trolling like hell, when her fav is an One Hit Wonder kiii kii

  59. king_ricoHive July 8, 2014

    @s****** Blonde
    I get wat ur saying sweetie but
    Britney Spears is a has been tbh and she will
    Not be remembered as one of Americas greatest products
    Despite her massive sales there’s nothing else left for her to
    Do.
    Nobody is here for her anymore she’s just not cool anymore
    There’s no legacy behind no respect from her peers wats the
    Point of having such fame if it’s all left behind she didn’t build a
    Empire like Madonna ,Mariah , Beyonce .
    She had an immense impact but all of that is forgotten and the
    New generation could care less about her sales .
    Fact of the matter is that Britney is no where near a Legend .
    It was the media that made her huge and it was the media that broke
    Her down.
    They got the best of her and she’s no use now and it’s sad
    But true .

    • DIGGER BEY July 8, 2014

      The Truth Detected!!!!

  60. MC!! July 8, 2014

    Britney has an empire!! The reason why she could careless about Britney Jean! She’s worth 220 million dollars and her Vegas set whether people come or not she still making mad cow from that!!! Britney is fine she has a family that’s her priority!!

  61. Rosie July 8, 2014

    It’s Britney. She can’t even bend her knees anymore. Unsurprising, just like ChavSoldier and it’s obsession with Lana when it’s fave can’t get her album to chart in the top 75 outside of the United Kingdom.

    • CherylSoldier July 8, 2014

      No b**** I read it. So that’ll be 12k if everything goes well for her? But not her being below jersey boys?!????!!! It’s too much because you’ve been perched in here screaming about how your fav sells albums, yet she’s selling less than jersey boys in her THIRD week. I’m done.

      • Rosie July 8, 2014

        You’re a f****** dumbass. Do you really think the chart will be the same between this update and the final? You obviously don’t follow the charts. Go back to looking at the UK charts since that’s the only place where your fave can be seen.

      • CherylSoldier July 8, 2014

        I think that the numbers will be in the teens at most. Not you thinking she’ll be doing 40k. You’re so delusional

      • Rosie July 8, 2014

        No one is expecting her to do 40K. When did I say that? You only need 20K to get into the top 10 this week. No one expected more than 27K.

  62. Brian310 July 8, 2014

    Britneys sales aren’t the only reason she was a star and instant icon, her being a dynamic performer and giving the public memorable and iconic performances. She also made great visuals and she was beautiful with a nice shape, she just had a it factor and a nice personality to go with it. Britney hasn’t fallen off just because the public has no interest in her, everyone just got tired of waiting for the “old Britney” to come back and give us great performances and good pop music, it’s also disheartening to hear the plans and process of her albums and how her ideas get shutdown which is stupid because if they allow her to put out what she wants she would actually put forth some effort again.

    • Insider July 8, 2014

      very well said!

        Screaming at you literally making up s*** now. How many times are you gonna get caught. If you’re gonna try to drag with receipts, at least post a source or post from a legitimate source. This is funnier than when you try to drag UV for all the so-called “negative” reviews it had and your only receipt was a feminist critique from a nobody magazine/newspaper.

  65. Stav July 8, 2014

    Leave it to the airhead stans at TGJ to try and sideswipe the TOPIC by bringing up a bunch of inapplicable rhetoric that has nothing to do with it. Doesn’t matter how much she sold during her prime, doesn’t matter how much of a phenomenon she may have been at one point. The bottom line is that as a vocalist, Britney is a literally horrid…and being a recording artist (i.e., “singer”) is the base of her whole operation. Even with studio magic, Brit sounds like a cow being branded. I’m supposed to ignore that because millions of idiots who were too young, dumb and ignorant didn’t know any better than to buy into the manipulation of her machine? I don’t think so. I don’t care how many records she’s sold, Britney still stinks. Her success is a parody of itself and only makes a mockery of her profession.

  66. Damn July 8, 2014

    Holy f*** this is baaaaaaaaaaaaaad! Britney why?????????

  68. Rosie July 8, 2014

    But I just don’t understand why the f** is so obsessed with someone who it supposedly hates with a passion? This b**** already has more comments about Lana Del Rey in a Britney post than it has about it’s own fave in her own posts. Kii. You’re more concerned about the charts than her own stans and even Lana herself is, considering she still hasn’t done a lick of actual promo in the US. Just admit that you’re Lana’s #1 fan already.

    • CherylSoldier July 8, 2014

      Why can’t you admit that you fav is flopping like crazy? So you think Lana is gonna increase by 1000% by weeks end? 55% is already in b****. Trey songz is doing his predicted numbers already. Your fav will do 15k at most. What kind of flop?! I’m screaming. Your fav is not an album seller. And death at you only paying attention to me and not lovebird. SCREAMS

      • Rosie July 8, 2014

        Once again, you obviously don’t follow the charts. And Trey Songz isn’t at his estimates, at this rate he obviously will be but it’s not worth arguing with someone who clearly doesn’t follow HDD or any of the US charts in the first place.
        The irony of you trying to call me out for only replying to you and Fagbird when 90% of the comments you leave on this site are failed attempts at Lana shade, including your first comment on this post. Finish what you started b****.

  69. Aunt_Jackie July 8, 2014

    This is the stupidest post ever. Britney isn’t a great singer, we all know that. She was a great dancer and entertainer.

    She’s a pop star, did you expect Whitney or Mariah? Those are great singers. Did you expect Christina? Christina was the voice of that generation, Britney was the entertainer.

    This isn’t shocking, and whoever leaked this is an idiot. At least Britney could entertain. That’s so much more than people can say of Rihanna or Katy, who aren’t good singers or dancers.

  70. S****** Blonde July 8, 2014

    Whitney Houston is one of the most acclaimed vocalist of all times i personally adore her, she was famous for her voice but if you think she was acclaimed and praised as a musician, then you are lying to yourself, Nirvana or any Rock band will always be considered more talented than female vocalists or pop singers, that’s a fact, and rightfully so. Was/is Whitney bigger than Britney, YES!, but was Whitney a pop culture phenomenon like MJ, Elvis, the Beatles and Madonna, NO!, was Britney a cultural icon like them, NO!, but she was a big sensation than Whitney, kids, girls, boys, everyone was in love with her, you want to tell me that Whitney was a t*** sensation, all of you forget that Elvis, The Beatles, MJ and Madonna were t*** sensations, idolized almost like Gods, teenagers have the power to create superstars, Britney somehow experienced a similar status, open your eyes folks!, those that make Britney better of bigger than Whitney, not in this lifetime but she was at some point the greatest thing on America, another thing, Michael Jackson wasn’t the biggest superstar, Elvis and The Beatles are still bigger, MJ is not on their level, not even after his death, ask any music maestro who is bigger and you know the answer would be this:

    The Beatles – fame, acclaim, sales, longevity.
    Elvis Presley

    Michael Jackson
    Madonna

    • dotti July 9, 2014

      @ s****** blonde
      let’s step back into the world of reality. when it comes to fame, acclaim, sales and longevity mj is holds his own with the beatles. he out does elvis in the fame and acclaim department because elvis did not have the international acclaim michael had (has). as for longevity mj had been burning up huge concert ticket sales since he was 10 years old. he was still selling out concerts til the day he died at 50. say what?!

  74. Fitchick July 8, 2014

    Wth. Now y’all need to stop! Her singing was not bad. Sound like a typical Britney ballad.That’s why she is the Pop Queen.
    Probably you ratchet ghettos that’s hating. y’all only consider screaming and carrying on with a mic in your hand actual singing smh

  75. Mimi Carey July 8, 2014

    Only on TGJ will f*** downplay Whitney’s success for hasbeen Britney. Whitney became the STANDARD for female vocalists. No one was singing like her when she came out. No one (not even my fav) can match her love vocals!!! Britney was hot for a season but she died with teenage bubblegum pop, plus she’s a vegetable now!!!

    I’m not gonna lie I like some of Britney’s songs but im not the biggest Britney Fan,but you people ( and yes I do mean you people as in haters) need to cut the crap and peep the evidence.Not everybody who “sings” or “sangs” sounds like Beyonce,Mariah Carey,or Ariana Grande,but that doesn’t mean that they can’t sing and that doesn’t mean that they don’t do it well,stop pressing your preferences on others.Nobody’s voice should be the same as any one else’s that’s one of the things that makes an artist an artist. God intended it that way.I Am so sick of people comparing, pitting, and competing artist against each other.Critics are not even critiquing anymore,they’re just…haters.So once again I ask what happened to Music actually being about MUSIC! #Music

    Anyways, it’s no Britney’s fault, the general public liked her.
    LOL’ing at John Vidal claiming gaga as the most respected artist!???
    Really? Don’t act as if she has that talent way above others. She is an AVERAGE/Desperate performer. That’s all she is. She will never become bigger than Britney or even Xtina.
    Pop girls that made an impact, its Britney, Xtina, and Yonce.
    Needless to say, I would prefer Rihanna and Katy over Gaga, coz both doesn’t pretend to be the greatest.

    • JOHNVIDAL July 9, 2014

      Gaga is the most talented pop artist from this current generation. Britney or Xtina are not even in that group. Learn to compare and to know what´s being discussed. Tell me she is not that good if you want, and say that it shows that mainstream music is an a terrible state. Most people would agree. But don´t tell us Katy is better than Gaga LOL cause it makes any point you make invalid (apart from twisting my words).

      • J.E July 9, 2014

        So you need to remove Xtina and Beyonce on the group you are reffering just to make Gaga as the Greatest Artist? Wahahahahahahaha Keep Trying. Pathetic! I never said Katy is better than Gaga, all i have said is I would prefer Rihanna or Katy over Gaga, because they are not PRETENTIOUS!
        Again, Keep Trying John! You are the last little monster standing! everybody else left their mother monster.

      • dotti July 9, 2014

        xtina may be from another generation but she is every bit as talented as lady gaga or any female who is shining now. i like gaga a lot but when it comes to performing xtina is her equal on every front except playing the piano. gaga, beyonce and yes xtina are true performers.

    And? Hayley Williams released a video of her singing in studio for the song Still Into You on youtube. Guess what… it sounded JUST LIKE the album version. I don’t know why Britney is still relevant. She can’t sing live and she doesn’t write her own songs. She doesn’t deserve her fame.
