I try not to be overtly mean, but this video of Britney Spears in concert, which is suddenly going viral again after two years being on the web – is downright painful. The video shows her performing, but isolates her microphone feed – not the autotuning, not the recorded track that you’re used to hearing.
I understand it’s hard to dance and sing - but if you listen on, it’s not just the dance numbers that sound strained. I’m almost speechless.
Let’s be clear: I’m not a hater. I like Britney Spears … my iPod has more Spears that any grown man should admit to. Perhaps this is more an argument for artists getting a little help during the stresses of performance. Or maybe she’s more about great marketing than vocal prowess – which in of itself is pretty remarkable. Either way, this is out there… and now you know.
Lol…I remember this. Also, the picture of Britney Spears with the microphone, do you know where it came from. Like, was it part of a music video or album cover art? It’s been killing me, I’ve seen it before, but don’t know where it’s from. Thank you.
