Dont shade it's just a question !

[kvthe57]

Do you think that britney can still sing ? Because after the performance with Tinashe who actually sing live and britney lip syncing again i start to believe rumors about loosing her voice ... 

 

maybe she's just not ready and I know she's a performer and know for her performances ( but lets be honest she'll never have an iconic performance like she used to do in the 00's  ) than her Vocal ability.  But if she really wanted glory to sell good and the gp to be with her again , she must know that they want  her to sing ! So the question is Brtney can sing ?!

 

(like I said don't shade me I just want to know what you feel about that question ) 

[heather]

from what I saw Tinashe wasn't live either.

[Mr.Photographer]

HONESTLY *tea time, this is long BUT its good*

 

Britney (more so her team) has marketed her as the PERFORMER not the VOCALIST. I feel like they neglected the vocalist part because the whole 2000's trend didn't lean toward VOCALS per say rather towards dance breaks, beats, new 00's dance/hip hop music. Vocals have reemerged as WANTED more so these days. And instead of making her a dual threat, which she could very well have been with proper training, they focused more on her image, which is fine still!

 

I honestly think that Britney hasn't trained her voice post Oops era. You can hear her when she has sung live with both singing ballads and uptempo's live (the times she has sung them live). She doesn't have control of her voice and she has poor breath control which is like 10000% needed when it comes to singing esp if there are routines involved. Now just being devils advocate and using a compare and contrast and not putting ANYONE down.

 

Lets take someone current for example like Beyonce (who happens to be the ONLY artists out near Brit's caliber/fame & vice versa, she's her peer) She sings live MAJORITY (when she does lipsync we cant tell cuz her team knows to how manipulate performance aesthetics so its not obvious) of the time, right? Beyonce as a trained singer used to run every day on a treadmill and sing at the same time, among other vocal exercises she's done to PERFECT HER voice the way she needs to. Rihanna, another example who vocally compares better to Brit. Rih never had GREAT vocal chops when she first came out, she doesn't lipsync. But with the right instructor and vocal technique she was able to strengthen her voice and she's hitting notes, singing diff genre's, really playing with her voice and strengthened her voice so that she can be better and continue mastering as she continues through her career.

 

Britney smokes/smoked?(idk if she quit), doesn't consistently go through vocal training (not to my knowledge from how we as fans follow her) unless its while creating albums, and she doesn't perform ballads or more mid-slow tempo songs, especially "when it matters" via Award shows, televised performances to get to the GP, and she hasn't since God knows when ( I wanna say 2002 AMA's). So its like they neglected her voice in my opinion. Do I think Britney can still sing? IMO. YES! DO i think her voice has suffered and maybe even declined in quality dare i say without studio help? YES, can she get better? YES! its like her dancing, as soon as she took things more seriously from 2014-16 we saw CRAZYYYYY improvement, why? cuz she PUSHED and continues to push herself (I hope!). She needs to do that with her vocals. She needs to kind of really block out that whole thing she's been through and its relation she has with her fame and performing, just my opinion based on observation with her. She's said it many times and acted as such "She's not particularly made for this industry" and with that mind set I feel like she's subconsciously downplaying her stardom.

 

She could be KILLING it on stage vocally, production value wise, dance wise, looks wise, etc like how Beyonce in her current prime is. But aside from her not being a very larger than life girl she doesn't seem to care to make "BRITNEY SPEARS" larger than life, and i feel like its still just a trickle of what has happened in the past (not even just 07 but through all the bad press esp post Justin). Some may disagree which is fine this is just my opinion. But when you think about it it does affect everything she does. EXCEPT when it comes to the quality of her music which aside from BJ has NEVERRRRRRR let us down, ever. WHY??? BECAUSE no one is watching her in the studio, there are no camera's no screaming crowd, no phones just her her writers/producers less pressure and she has enough comfort to really "go there" and be "BRITNEY SPEARS". 

 

Live & televised are different, you have to prepare mentally more so to really NAIL IT. you can go through the motions but it wont have the same wow factor. She has to be ferociously hungry to deliver the way "we want her to" or better yet the way she REALLY can without hesitation. That includes vocals, choreo, themes, creative directory making sure things make sense etc      *LONG SIGH* finish

Thanks for your answer ! You said everything i needed and wanted to know 

[Domino]

My explanation isn't long or thought out lol. I just think she is too nervous to sing live. There's a lot of stuff behind the changes in her voice, why and how, etc. But I don't think Brit is unable to sing- I 100% believe her voice is minimally processed on Glory and she can still sing very well. It's even possible she still belts out in the car when she's alone- but that's not her commercial voice. So I guess it's a mixture between what her team thinks is "best" (you know how great their judgment is) and Britney's nerves over performing. I've said it before that there has been times she has sung spur-of-the-moment- like singing to LA Reid Happy Birthday, where she starts out strong and pretty and then her voice falters and she rushes to the end. Ever since she came out with her baby "pop" voice that they trained her with, she's faced criticism about her voice. I doubt that hasn't affected her.

I still think that she can sing , she have a special voice not the strongest but she have something like a signature the way she sing. I'd love to hear her voice more often but hey if she's too nervous and have a lack of practice then ok ! I love her anyway 

[ForeverFeel1ng]

The “Baby Voice” isn’t healthy for her and has definitely affected her ability to hold notes. You can hear it in the Leaked version of Alien. She doesn’t have as much control over the vibrato and pitching on her high notes. This doesn’t mean she can’t sing, at all it simply means she needs to refine her traditional ‘baby voice into something that doesn’t put so much strain on her vocal chords.

(like I said don't shade me I just want to know what you feel about that question ) 

Yes she can - check her "What You Need"/"No Seas Cortés" songs - still she can do her high notes and deep mature voice from 18 yrs old album vocals+high vocals. So I think she used vocal coach, because she did long note like in Passenger without any problems. She is just lazy, nothing moar.

No need for long drawn out explanations....2 words PRE-RECORDED VOCALS!

 

That's it. That's all it would take for the gp to stop thinking of her as a has been who can't sing.

 

Whether she can't sing or doesn't want to sing live, prerecorded vocals would sound much better than the embarrassing cd tracks she mimes to.

 

Beyonce, Katy, Rihanna, they all prerecord.

 

Idk, I love her, but Im losing hope she'll ever change this. Her return to the vmas was really where she needed to wow and get rid of the miming. Instead she chose to blatantly lip sync like it's 2001. I fear any improvements now might be too little too late in the eyes of gp.

Honestly it wouldn't matter. If Britney prerecorded they'll call her out, if she sang live they'll pick her to shreds even if she sounded good. I understand why she doesn't bother, because in the long run it doesn't matter. Britney doesn't care to impress the public or fool them like the other popstars. She does what makes her happy, and seeing her perform with that spark again is what I care about. I'm absolutely convinced people who care about live singing in 2016 only do so because they need ammunition against online Stan battles, or are simply looking for a reason to be disappointed.

Britney is not the only popstar that lips, though she is the only one that's blantent about it by not prerecording because, like I said, she has no desire to fool the public the way her fellow popstars do.

Who gives a f*ck about stan battles 

 

I'm disappointed as a fan of 15 years. Her performances were so electrifying once, and now it's borderline cringey watching her mime along.

 

Years ago the dancing and stage presence made up for it and it didn't matter that she was lip syncing, but times have changed and unfortunately Britney (when it comes to lip syncing) hasn't. It's really hurting her professionally.

 

I remember crying during FF tour when I heard her "live" vocals, only to find out later that it was all prerecorded. But I didnt care because I had already had the experience. Then years later going to POM and basically just hearing the cd being played over the speakers was really disappointing. It was still a good time, but it just takes you out of it.

 

So in your opinion it may not matter whether she lip syncs, sings live, or prerecords, but to me as a fan it does.

 

I live in Las Vegas and have only been to POM once, because I can't fathom spending hundreds of my hard earned dollars to see Britney multiple times when she's miming along to her cd.

 

I love her, she will always be my fav, but I'm not going to be a blind stan and pretend her current level of live performance doesn't bother me.

It's not hurting her professionally or else she would change. It might be making fans disappointed or the GP call her out, but it's not hurting her. Her shows still sell out, she still makes and sells records, she's still sought after for interviews, television, awards shows and what not. You're absolutely entitled to be disappointed, but because you, and lets say a majority of fans are, doesn't mean Britney lip syncing is hurting her at all.

 

I will never understand why a fan since the beginning would suddenly expect Britney to sing live/prerecord everything when that wasn't ever her MO. In the beginning, sure, when she was a new artist and fighting to establish herself. But that didn't last long and you're right, the dancing and stage presence used to make up for the fact that she lipped. But she was STILL called out on it and she STILL never changed it. Why would she now? You might not be happy with current level Britney performances, a lot of people might not be, but for everyone that isn't there's someone who is.  If you're going to continue to stan for Britney and be disappointed everytime she lips, why bother still staning? I get the nostalgia aspect of it, but if I was constantly and consistently disappointed, it would be time to move on.

She sang parts live during DWADT

 

She sang Everytime live during OHT

 

We got You Oughta Know during TCSBS

 

The prerecorded vocals during FFT

 

And a few random tv performances throughout the years where she sang live

 

So I don't think it's crazy for me as a fan to expect/want to hear something other than the cd tracks during a live performance.

 

I'm not turning in my stan card just yet. I love her, what she's overcome, her personality, and most important of all her music! I'm just not into some of her recent choices for live performances. I know she's not hurting for money, but her choice to blatantly lip sync 100% of the time is killing her credibility as an artist and performer and makes me sad as a fan of hers.

I never said she hasn't sung live, but singing a few words here and there is hardly countable. Some people put more stock into live singing now, because as you've said, times changed. For me, it's not something I expect when I watch Britney perform, so it's not something I'm disappointed about when it doesn't happen.

Britney sang live more than people realise on the FF tour. I think because there were pre-recorded vocals it confused people. Sometimes a verse would be 100% live, other times she'd sing with the pre-recorded vocals. TBH I thought the live vocals sounded better than the pre-recorded, so clearly she can still sing well enough. (also, GLORY).

It's raw and changed tempo in some parts.

Im sorry but reading all this explanations of her lipsync is just absurd, because... Simply there is no excuse. And saying that it is 2016 and we should expect it and if we dont LOVE the fact that she does it is because we are not fans is another stupid thing. Dont say you werent excited when she sang Everytime in SNL, Not a girl dont yet a woman in AMAS 2002 with perfect vocals or the live performances of Me against the music that she sang live (some parts) and danced, dont you tell me you are happy with the fact that we havent heard anything live in the past 4 years?!? Im sorry but i dont buy it. 

 

When we first saw britney almost 20 years ago she did try to sing live now and then , we had pre recorded vocals in the concerts and almost every time she sang balads they were live. So the lipsync didnt make you fall in love with her.. She needs to try harder. Its not 1999 anymore, i know POM gave her a lot of confidence back and i am happy, i am proud of her, proud of this era... But it could have been even better but i felt dissapointed so many times this past months because she made the best album in years and some of the performances lacked the wow facot and not even trying to pre record her vocals, that DOES affect the critics and the sales...VMAS anyone?!.. People complained that MTV did a bad thing putting her after beyonce (a few online pages and blogs said it too) but the fact that another artist can put a 15 minute performance with perfect dancing and perfect vocals doesnt have to affect BRITNEYS performance because she needs to put her 100% everytime, that thay proved what we have known, that she doesnt.

 

Back in the day her dance moves were harder, the performances were better so people didnt care about her vocals. But now that she slowed down and her dance moves are safer at least she could have pre recorded vocals and her mic on and say something like her old "woa" or interact with the audience. She needs to feel the fire and challenge herself more. Every single artist out there does it, and her being a LEGEND and all should do it. Its just embarrassing sometimes to have her duet with artist that sing live.
