now, while I do hate brits voice, and calling her a singer is a joke, I will throw her a bone. when lip syncing, no one bothers really trying to sing well. You just try to SHOW passion and emotion. so that is part of it. the other part is that she is dancing around a lot. no one can sing when they are out of breath.

The long and the short is that you dont need to sing if your lip syncing. the most important thing is to stay with your cue track in your monitor, so at least it looks kinda real.

she still sucks, but I'll watch her dance.

No, you can get singers who dance, but they are trained for it.

Ever see broadway or a Musical? I performed in my high shcool musicals and we would dance and sing at the same time. It had to sound good.

Britt can't sing. Even studio recordings prove this. I only ever liked "baby one more time" and that was when I was in middle school. Say what you want about boy bays, but at least the backstreet boys and Nsync of teh same era could somewhat sing.

I must disagree. Singers can dance (move) a bit and still be able to sing. but is your dancing like brit, I doubt it. All you have to do is run a couple laps around a track, then try to sing something well. You might be able to get by, but it wont be up to par. I do not believe you can learn to sing when out of breath.

I have done quite a few musicals as well, and usually the big dance numbers are placed where singing wont be as exposed. IE: group or choral numbers. and even if the lead is involved in the scene, their dancing is "usually" slightly easier, till they are done singing. at least thats the way its done if you have a smart director.

While there is no doubt that Britney a) lip syncs, and b) sounds bad live, I am fairly certain that video is fake and the voice has been dubbed.

Really? why do you say that? I am genuinely intrigued!

probably cause the singing is so bad.......

HOWEVER, i know someone that works with britney and she does in fact sing like that when she's dancing. She's certainly more capable of good singing when not exerting her body......however, she's NO singer.

This isn't the first leak of the "mic sound" of a singer while on stage. Considering she has to move about a lot, I'm not surprised she lip-syncs. As well, before singing on stage, a singer would have to do a fair bit of warming up to sing well.

 

[CDBacklash]

Regardless of whether she can sing or not, she has fine writers writing songs for her (or had...) that know how to make a number 1. She needs all the money she can get to pay someone to take care of her kids, because lord knows she isnt.

You don't believe those dancing nancies actually sang live, do you?

 

[Rempert]

It bothers me somewhat that canned music has become so commonplace at "live concerts". I mean, even if she just stood up there on stage and belted out the songs as best she could (and I'm sure it would sound every bit as good as a high school musical if she did), it would bother me that there isn't some live tour band instead of backing tracks.

We get big time singers to do national anthem at a major event, and they aren't even singing... what is that? Or at the music award shows, how ironic. But at least in that case the people still get to watch the event. At a concert you just go and listen to some tape pumped through a PA while people pretend to sing or make electronic music or whatever... seems kind of lame. I'd rather go to a jazz concert or a symphony than this kind of "live performance" from my favorite studio musicians.

Sorry for the rant.

If I had my testicles squeezed in a vice and a red hot poker stuck up my a*** I would still sound better than B Spears

Don't they use computers now to write No. 1 songs for them? You just enter the song style you want the instruments you want to use etc. and out pops a No. 1 song based on what most people find pleasing to the ear. I've read there are such software programs available.
