Posted September 23, 200618 yr A collection of quotes about Britney's voice. How well do you think she'll sing this time? Will she prove anyone wrong? Will she keep on having breathy overproduced vocals? The quotes go by chronological order: Britney Spears, February 2006: "When I was little, I would listen to myself. But the record label signs you, and you're just thankful to get a hit song. You can't really show off your voice and where you came from...I found out after the baby that I can sing!" February 2006: Britney recorded a song with Dionne Warwick. Then, she started working with Swizzbeats, Sean Garrett, Ne-Yo and J.R Rotem. A few months later: Sean Garett: Believe it or not, her voice was better than I expected.", (though he was praising Jojo's voice a lot more in this interview) :wacko: Swizzbeats promised "a lot of sonic changes." :wacko: Larry Rudolph: "when she was younger she sang from her diaphagm and was able to belt out a tune in a deep way. When she started singing for the whole pop thing, she changed the way she sang and started singing from her throat. This didn't allow her to have the range that she once had. That fact hasn't changed." Then you have Rotem saying, "I was blown away to see Britney record in the studio. When you hear this final song that sounds so professional, you don't know how much of it is overproduced, how much of it is edited. But I found the actual talent was really there." HOWEVER, we've all heard For My Sister (Little Me) and you hear she sings that song from her throat, she sounds weak. You can hear she's trying a little harder on Rebellion, but she still doesn't sound that great at all. JR has worked with Paris Hilton and Rihanna, as far as female singers go. Not good. I realize that she's not about the voice, but isn't it time for her to sing? We know she's got the potential. Do you think Britney will prove herself vocally with this album? It sounds like Britney had some different plans for the album in the beginning, but then she just went to the usual hitmakers and the result (Rebellion) is far from impressive vocally. Maybe she wants people to be surprised, so she keeps the better songs? Talk about wishful thinking. Edited September 23, 200618 yr by Filthy or Gorgeous
September 23, 200618 yr Wow, very interesting post!! I'd love her to unleash her powerful voice, that voice we've heard from her childhood performances, but I'm not sure if it's there anymore. For a comeback, I think she'll probably want to go safe and release killer tracks than showcasing her voice. Maybe once she's back and strong she'll feel more confident and sing her heart out.
September 23, 200618 yr Agreed Luciano Id love for her to so some tracks with her just belting it out though!

Thanks. I noticed we heard a lot about her voice recently, I figured it would make a cool post. This clip just proves how untrained her voice really is: You hear her singing through her nose and sounding just okay or bad, but then at 00:45-00:50 she's REALLY belting and sounding great. That clip is from 2002 so some of her childhood voice was still there, and she stopped smoking in 2004. I agree with you, but killer tracks don't necessarily equal no singing. For example, Beyonce's "Deja Vu"... I hate to mention her, but Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man" is another example. She can stay fun and upbeat while showcasing her vocals, but she doesn't train her voice so I'm not sure if she knows how to do it. The quotes are positive for the most part... but then you hear Rebellion. Maybe "Rebellion" is actually a demo from "The Original Doll" era, and Britney just put it on the website because it fits the "tiger" theme. It doesn't sound finished to me, and I don't think she'll ever finish it. For My Sister could be an old song she recorded (before Sean) that she just put on the website for JL's birthday.

September 23, 200618 yr Author Forgot to mention Dionne Warwick recorded a duet with Britney Spears @ February 16th! That was posted at Dionne Warwick's official fanclub. Britney is the only pop singer on the list of duets. That just shows Britney was heading for a different direction vocally in February, that's when she said "I found out after the baby that I can sing!"

Yes, I've read about that and I eagerly await to hear some of that stuff.
September 24, 200618 yr Well she can't sing live. On her past tours she's mimed them and the times when she actually sings one or two songs she sounds awful.
September 24, 200618 yr Is the new album almost done? It must be.. she asn't released a song for aggggges.
September 24, 200618 yr It should be out in early 2007 :D Just in time to compete with Mariahs new album. :kink:
September 24, 200618 yr Author It should be out in early 2007 :D Early 2007? :blink: She has to breastfeed for the next 6 months, she's got a lot to do. I doubt we'll hear a new single before August 2007. The album will be released during Christmas for sure. Edited September 24, 200618 yr by Filthy or Gorgeous
September 24, 200618 yr Author Well she can't sing live. On her past tours she's mimed them and the times when she actually sings one or two songs she sounds awful. Actually, she used to sing live just fine earlier into her career. The question is whether she'll get back to to that or not.

September 24, 200618 yr Author Well, I think the album will be ready and out for Summer 2007. Her duet with Kevin is supposed to be released in March, let's hope she leaves the public a little more time to forget about that mess. :blink:
