Ok so she will never be a Mariah, Leona or Christina and she knows that. In interviews she has said she wishes she could sing like Christina. However this demo from 2001 lets fans hear her untouched vocals and although she is no Whitney, she has a very sweet natural voice.

I always knew she could sing, I saw some documentaries about her rise ro fame and they showed her when she was about 8 and when she was about 14, and she had a pretty decent voice. Not outstanding but she can sing!

No. No, she can't.

Britney Spears COULD sing when she was in the Mickey Mouse Club. Could and can aren't the same thing. Even in that 2001 clip she was awful. Eight years later she couldn't even do that much.

Funny how all you sycophants can say it doesn't matter that a so-called singer mimes at her concerts.

She's just a performing monkey now, making her promoters lots of cash.

Sorry, but when I saw her show I was pretty bored of watching her titter about in high heels whilst flicking her hair left to right. She might as well have not bothered to "Dance" for all the effort she put in.
Infact, I daresay the audience wouldn't have noticed any different if a cardboard cut-out had been placed onstage and the dancers moved it around every once in a while. Zzzz

It occurred to me quite a while ago how, when watching older footage of young Britney singing, she didn't go into the more country area of music. Funnily enough, I read somewhere that she in fact intended to start of as a country artist but her record company insisted she went for the teen pop market instead. The rest is history.

I'm not even a fan of Britney and usually slate her miming and autotuning, but my theory is that the kind of songs she sings and the way in which she does doesn't suit her voice. I think had she gone country a little earlier, she would have gained more creditibility from people.

I never said I didn't like her. I was a pretty big fan of hers once upon a time and when she released "Blackout" I thought she could do no wrong so I went to the show in the hope that she had returned to her former self...but yet again I was disappointed and traumatised by such tat I doubt I will recover from it ever again.
Imo, The woman just Isn't as good as she used to be. I think the show is far to over-rated.

See this is what I find typical of Britney fans. One person says they didn't like the show and they simply can't accept any negative views.
...and don't kid yourself...I'm sure somewhere amongst the crowds there were people who didn't like it...they just didn't want to admit it to the hoards of crazed fans in fear of being beaten to death with their merchandise.

She could always sing, her vocals were always really prominent in her earlier stuff. It's just the stuff later on in her career, which were heavily affected in the studio with distortions etc.

The tone of her voice may not be pleasing to people's ears, but if you put her in a room with a piano and a microphone, and told her to sing something, she would sing in tune and in time with the piano. That is singing.

This is probably one of her best performances live!

Vocals are spot on and just a beautiful song.

I get what your saying, because there are some fans i DID speak to that DID NOT like the show.

I went to the show and have to say that it was by far her best tour to date. Im not sure why people are surprised she lyp synced. I went to the Onyx Hotel and people didnt butt an eyelid then because the performances were beyond anything seen before.

But now, because she is sitting on such a thread because this is meant to be her first performances since that dreadful Gimme More that the general public feel the need to be judgemental over anything, including her lyp syncing which 5 years ago wouldnt of meant anything.

Im happy to say im a fan and glad she has made such a huge step in the right direction and doing what she does best which is make great music and create fantastic performances for the whole world to see.

You're talking about the best selling female artist of the past decade and 8th of all time.

She can sing, you only have to listen to her debut album to see what sort of voice she has, the debut album Baby One More Time is completely unedited as it was used to showcase her voice to labels.

lady gaga showed some stuff on snl last week as well.


renee olstead is heads above britney in talent though.

her 2004 album was esp impressive. if you had guessed her age from her voice you woulda been so wrong. she doesn't shake her ass so i guess that gets less press.

Course Britney can sing, if she couldn't then why is she so successful now? I have all her albums and they're all really good.
