Why I Don't Believe A Brit/gags Collab Will Happen

Lifted from the Rumor: Britney - Gaga Collab Again thread:

 

I kinda think there's bad blood between Teams Brinni & Gags, though maybe not specifically between the two stars per se

 

My detective work:

 

Remember Brinni's slinky icy club thumper demo of Telephone?

 

 

It was significantly reworked for the subsequent Gaga/Britney collab that was unearthed a few months ago (remember, the one with clear Britney vocals? And a rather ugly Gaga-fied instrumental?). It's a pretty wretched pop-Frankenstein of a song, but one of the elements that was added to this demo was the roboticized voice that accompanies Britney's in the post-chorus:

 

 

It's the "stop telephonin' mayyy" and the "i'm bizayyyy" refrains that echo Britney's @ 1:15, as well as the robo voice that echo's Britney's verse on "Sometimes I feel likeI live in Grand Central Station / Tonight I'm not takin' no calls 'cause I'll be dancin'"

 

I'm like 100% sure that the robotic voice that follows Britney's is her own, just edited and pitched down. To me, it's really reminiscent of the same kinda effects that are employed in Blackout and FF.

 

Of course, we know that in the end, Britney dropped out and Bey got her feature and the song lost its robo touch in favor of a bombastic rock n' synth/strings shtick. However, that robotic call back is still present in the final song, even though Britney is not. Britney isn't credited anywhere on the song, even though her vocals, however processed, made it into the final product. Even Kopy Pasty's nonexistent background vocals on OLL are credited properly.

 

I'm sure that Larry et al. were pissed that they were snubbed from a potential royalties jackpot from one of Gaga's most popular hits; thus, they have kinda blacklisted Gaga from being a potential collab.

 

Just my personal detective work. I could be wrong lol. Thoughts?

Yeah but Quicksand was made before Telephone, wasn't it? And I'm sure they're friendly, I think it's more a feud between the managers than the stars tbh Larry ain't a happy camper when money's lost

I really think the collab rumours that were going around last year ('Freak Like Me' or something) were fabricated by Jordan and the dude who runs Gaga Daily to get them hits on their websites...

 

And I don't think Gaga genuinely loves Britney, even though she was her biggest inspiration back in the day. Just see when she goes to her shows, her friends always end up making fun of Britney and talking trash about her. I remember from 2009 to 2011 she was all "I'm not one of those blond popstars that go on stage and lip-sync a whole show". She even tried to steal the spotlight when she presented her with the MTV Vanguard Award. There's nothing but politeness between these two.
