But can't she just sing in her normal voice for live shows? It's not like Gaga sings Just Dance with her The Fame album voice and she still does it great anyway (I'm not here for hating, it's a legit question of why can't it be a possibility at all) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babel 41,460 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 3 hours ago, StrawberryBlond said: Because singing in that artificial way for years has ruined Britney's once good vocals. She was an amazing singer as a child, her jazz/musical voice was excellent, so mature and refined. But when she became famous, her team wanted her to become a popstar. Back in the days before the likes of Adele were popular, to make a pretty, blonde, slim white girl do soulful ballads was seen as a phenomenal waste back in the 90's. So, her vocals were replaced by that sexy, whispering, feline-like voice and it screwed up her vocal chords beyond recognition. Trying to sing one of her songs in this voice for even a short time is extremely difficult and taxing on the throat. Imagine singing like that everyday, for an entire set? So, knowing her issues, Britney's fans give her some slack. The fact she can still perform after her breakdown is celebratory enough, so to ask her to massacre her vocal chords live every second night would just be inhuman. Please note, however, that it's just Britney this pass is given to as she is a very special case. In any other circumstance, this would be a different story. You have to understand that Brintey comes from a time when you could work child stars like dogs and exploit them and not suffer any repercussions for it. Lipsynching is something she's just used to after being programmed into it as a child. Britney's like a child in lots of ways because she's never experienced life as an adult who is in control of their own decisions. It stands to reason that she's used to being told what to do and how to sing. It's all really sad but there was a time when we thought she'd die, so anything's better than the alternative. I agree with everything you say but the bolded part. Mariah Carey was doing a-ma-zing during the 90s with soulful ballads and she fits that description. Christina Aguilera did very good too.

drinkmytears 2,332 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 2 hours ago, Bradley said: She lip-syncs and she has to bear the consequences. The Grammys would never invite her to perform at their show nor nominate any of her albums. She also rarely gets awards that matter nowadays. The only award shows she attends these days are Radio Disney, People's Choice and Teen's Choice. I like her but what she's doing is really not respectable at all and I applaud the award shows panel for not rewarding her. I'd rather B-list artists like Demi Lovato to get nominated because at least she's a great live singer. Britney, however is the bigger artist and has better visuals and theatrics. She got a Billboard Millenium Award last year and performed at the VMAs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIghtmareElm 2,606 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 For the people saying that she is performer not a singer, what about Lady Gaga? Lady Gaga is performer but also a singer. Britney has no excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, aren't singers supposed to sing? Her defenders act like lip syncing is normal. I guess the only time someone could be excused for lip syncing is when they have heavy choreography but Britney can barely deal with simple dancing now a days. Finally, you could say that she can't sing well and that is why she lip syncs, but Katy is not the best singer and she least tries. So what excuse is left? She's basically a Drag Queen with a bigger budget and we have accepted this Messy, Petty, Beautiful, Covergirl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

just another gay 836 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Britney still sold out a lot of shows and is still some sort of TV viewing/rating boost, makes me sometimes wonder if she will be even bigger nowadays if she sings live. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HausOfMark 4,274 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I had a mature conversation about this before and the result was that she just does and she doesnt deny it anymore either. You just know that when Britney performs, shes going to lipsync and sometimes she does sing live. There is not a pass and go card with it but its just a fact. its nothing negative. Its only the people who turn it negative. -Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
