Britney's real voice while singing

[dabuffguy]

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.

You think Rock artists from the 60-90's didn't edit their vocals or combine multiple takes into one track?

Every single studio album has been mixed and technologically enhanced to the best that that era's technology allowed.


VH for example. You think Sammy Hagar just sang the track once? I guarantee he sang some of those tracks 100's of times to get them perfect for studio production. Sammy is a great singer.

Anyways,
I hate brittany spears music, but she doesn't suck.

I mention live bands who sing. That was bad taste to post that about her. Damn, for real. Yeah it's funny, but man, she dances (tries) and well...... at least she is straight enough to move LOL .....

 

[MaGilicuti]

hard to sing and dance at the same time like she does.

This vid explains how her voice changed.

She was a very talented little girl. Now she even admits she wishes she could sing like Christina Aguilera.

Around 2000 her voice went to shit.

shouldn't we though hold "singers" to a certain standard of vocal talent? I mean, I get what you're saying....everything is fake.......but maybe if everyone saw what models really look like when they wake up in the morning or what useless cunts like britney "really" sound like......maybe we'd start becoming a "real" society again that produces "real" creativity.....just a thought.

meh, who cares? I mean really... does it REALLY matter if that is what she sounds like without all the technology? Hell, that would be like expecting a supermodel to look like they appear in shoots in reality.



She is the princess of pop for goodness sakes not Julie Andrews.

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.

You guys keep talking about her in present tense - everything you say should be "was"

In the '60s for most of the decade they didn't have anything better than 4-track recorders, so opportunities for massive amounts of punch-ins and overdubs were very limited.

But yeah, producers have always been willing to push the limits of technology to get the best recorded takes. But the bands from the '60s and '70s that I like were at least able to perform their material live.

As for Sammy and VH, I couldn't care less.

By the way, there's an isolation track of DLR's original studio vocal track on "Runnin' With The Devil" floating around. It's funny, not because it's bad, but because of all the stupid noises he makes between verses.

Remind me next time to tell my lead singer to lipsynch on stage, cuz it's "so exhausting". Maybe i'll also play my guitar riffs over a cd track. Then charge $40/ticket!
