Yeah, the thing is, I adore Britney's voice so much, it's enough for me to just hear her talking and my brain melts. So for me personally, she wouldn't even need to be good at singing. But actually I also like her technique. I love the variety she brings to the table. Which is something I miss when it comes to many high-praised singers like Beyonce or Christina Aguilera. I'm not into them as much as I'm into Britney quite honestly, so I might be wrong with the following. But everytime I heard them, they were screaming way too much for my taste. I mean some of the sounds are impressive, but I couldn't lose the feeling that they always sound the same without too many experiments on their part. I can't shake the feeling that they are getting praised just for their screaming for the most part. But like I said, I might be wrong. Anyway, to each their own. If there are singers that are absolutely 100 % by objective standards superior to Britney, so be it. But it's not like I would care. I still like her better. In the end she is very unique and hits a nerve on me. That's all that counts at the end of the day. I like the music and I still refuse to not be excited for the new album, no matter how many people try to convince me that the music isn't good. It's like trying to convince a PlayStation Fanboy to buy an Xbox. It just won't happen, sorry. =D Still no new info on the tracklist. Damn, I can't wait! I hope we get at least another track in the next two weeks! |
I'm glad you enjoy her so much! :) I wasn't trying to convert you btw, just trying to give credit where credit is due.
And yes, she has a very interesting technique while singing. It gives her an instantly reconizable unique sound. Her voice is actually pretty deep (well, her strongest range is, anyways), but she lightens it up and sings very high for her natural register. Sort of like Lana del Rey in reverse. And she's very spunky, wich I like about her.
I agree about Christina and Beyonce and the 'screaming'. Like I said I don't enjoy Beyonces live performances, even if she is a very good singer. I like some of her songs though, she usually tones it down for the studio.
Also, no worries about your taste in music! Heck I used to have a veeeery soft spot for Katy Perry at some point and I'm usually into grade A+ mopey industrial, alternative/grunge and rock. As far as I'm concerned it's all good as long as you enjoy it. (I admittedly wished a terrible fate upon Lady Gaga during her Pokerface/Alejandro phase though, god that was grating to me.)
I hope you enjoy the new album when it's out! I'll be sure to give it a listen.
