Me ? Three takes. That’s all I can “sing” in a day. After that I must let my voice recover…not a singer…poor technique…blah blah. But three is my answer. And I do not compile the best parts of them three takes into one proper one but just pick the best one and that’s it. Maybe that’s the reason it always sounds lyk sheit…
Singing really isn’t the point of Britney Spears though.She sing for tofee, but she doesn’t need to.
We have a similar in the UK called Cheryl Cole. Can’t sing for toffee, autotuned to flower ( or whatever the substitute for intercourse is ) , but very fit.
I know I’ll get laughed to scorn, but… the singing on the first two Britney Spears albums (yes, I own them) is actually quite… how do I say… effective? Maybe not “great,” but her often mocked affectations, which hadn’t gotten stale at that point, I found rather charming.
Then again, I’ve read stories where certain people claimed THEY did the singing on those records, not her… which is a bit like somebody taking credit for the OJ murders. But I don’t believe these stories – even up to today she still has that same “voice” that is almost certainly her own actual voice. It’s what the French call “une voix chucotant mannequinee” which roughly translated means “a whispering fashion model’s voice”
