Hey friends!
It would not be proper if I didn't blog about this recent discovery!
Britney Spears' recent song on her new album, "Alien" has been going viral since a warm up version of her singing it is on youtube. Check out the auto-tune, final cut version as well as the auto-tune free version below:
(Here is the FINAL version on the album. Listen to this FIRST!)
(Here is the REAL, UN-EDITED version!)
And HERE are MY thoughts:
I don't think she sounds that bad!
No, REALLY! I'm being serious!
If you haven't seen Ke$ha perform live at SNL, then you are missing out! She sounds like a dying horse, and I'm being KIND! (okay, I'm being mean. But in all reality, Ke$ha is the auto-tune QUEEN of our day and age, and she has basically made a career out of talk singing, so there's that.)
(^Forgive the poor quality of this video, but here's Ke$ha butchering her own song "Tik Tok" live at SNL)
But I didn't make this blog to hate. I made it to laud talented artists.
And though Britney's vocals aren't exactly up to par in the real and unedited version of her song "Alien", it was a WARM-UP version, and it's pretty darn good if you ask me!
Let's not forget, Britney was never much of a supreme VOCAL artist. But she is one HELL of a performer, taking the throne as the Princess of Pop. (right under the Queen of Pop, and recipient of her kiss, Madonna.) So let's not forget that she is AMAZING in concert! She has plenty of other skills that get us hot and bothered in her videos, live performances and even her public appearances, so let's not blow things out of proportion by letting one little leaked video of her singing without auto-tune make us trash her and kick her to the curb.
Britney came BEFORE Gaga, before Grande, before Miley, BEFORE Ke$ha, and all of the other little pop singers we have today, so let's not fail to give her the proper recognition.
As a 90s kid, I grew up listening to Britney and despite all of the scandals, I still love her today, so you WORK it Britney. Stay glamorous! ;)
