There's no doubt that Britney Spears was a great performer at the height of her pop career - she was certainly marketed well. And while she was never touted at the best dancer or even the best singer, she, no question, had talent. However, there's a video that's been making the rounds "proving" that Britney is a horrible singer and couldn't hit a note if her life depended on it. Or is it fake?
Video after the jump!
I've listened to it a few times - it does sound like Britney and while it's been a known fact (supposedly) that she often (or all the time) lip synced during her live performances, it should come as no surprise that she'd pretty much have to lip sync - or at least not have her live voice put out through the microphone, instead, have pre-recorded music or dubbing over her actual, live vocals - because seriously, if you're gyrating around like the Energizer Bunny, of course you'd be out of breath! Of course you'd probably sound like crap or couldn't hit a note - so is it fair to criticize Spears for wanting to put on the best show she could and give her fans their money's worth?
Do you think it's her voice on the video? And if so, is it a big deal that she sounds crappy (of course concert-goers heard only the "awesome singer" Britney) on her microphone feed that only her sound crew would hear? And seriously, I'm guessing Beyonce and Janet Jackson get a little vocal help during their very active, live concerts. Just sayin'.
Maybe we should cut Brit a break? I know I couldn't dance around in a full-fledged workout and sing in key - sure, I can't sing in key standing still either, but that's besides the point.
Watch and listen for yourself:
