Britney's real voice while singing

[dabuffguy]

I work in the music industry, and this is no surprise. However...

Brittany can sing. And she can sing really well too. You think dancing like that and singing go hand in hand? If you listen carefully, you realize her voice is good, just that she is so winded from the stage performance (gay if you ask me) that she can't sing and hold a note.

Ever get winded and you can barely talk to someone next to you without taking 50 breaths in every sentence. That's what's happening here. It doesn't mean she sucks at singing.

And as far far as voicing and vocal technology goes, (I am working on the latest vocal technology product right now AAMOF) that you can't correct a shitty singer to make them sound amazing. You need a good singer to use technology and make them sound perfect. Pitch correction only goes so far. If you are a half note off, you can get it corrected. but if you are all over the map like anyone that sucks, you can't process the voice enough to get it to sound good without sounding uber robotic.

point is, these stars can sing, but they do lipsync on stage for obvious reasons. You think Michael Jackson always sang live? lol, not even. After a while, all he did was lip sync his own recordings. And can MJ sing? Hell yeah he can. He's damn amazing, but with elaborate dancing even the king of pop would sound like crap.

it's hard to sing and dance at the same time. janet jackson sounds like crap live too.

What he said. Also, what BM said. Britney is not a singer, she's a performer. She puts on a show. And yeah, dancing like she does and singing? Nearly impossible. I don't think she's a great singer....some of the things she does with her voice that make it distinctively hers annoy me. But she's definitely better than what she sounds like there. comparing seeing her in concert with seeing van halen is ridiculous lol....apples and oranges.

meh...

I see and intellectually have no qualms understanding your viewpoint, especially as a musician. However, if the fans like her show and continue to buy her albums then who are we to judge?

Seriously, it is ENTERTAINMENT, not brain surgery. Who cares if it is enhanced or faked as long as the fans feel that they are getting what they paid for?

People buy her CDs because they like the way she dances???

The two things that have ruined modern music are compressed mastering and vocal pitch correction. Combined, they have rendered most new music unlistenable. Some of the shit that Melodyne is working on now is scary.

As for Britney, in the studio she doesn't have to sing more than a line or two at a time, that shit is edited together from dozens of takes. So she still doesn't have to be all that great a singer for them to create an acceptable take.

I love these. Have you heard the Enrique Iglesias one, or the Linda McCartney?

lmao

When I was a kid Howard Stern played her mic feed and it was awful. They dubbed cats wailing in with it and kept playing it over and over. I almost crashed I was laughing so hard.

I'm glad I'm not in that phase, and the bands I listen to actually sing, or did sing before they bit the bullet. I don't understand all the wardrobe changes and all that stuff. Just sing. Dag, shows where they want the industry to go. Then you have the bands out there who are very very good and well.......... they vanish. They didn't have 20 costumes..... but it's kid music, though some of Britney's stuff is kinda, you know, a little older crowd if ya know what I mean.

Yep...I'm a little beat up from my rescue diver class this weekend...but all in all, still kicking.
