Above is a compilation clip of what Britney Spears sounds like when she’s performing at a concert; pretty darn cool because as you know … perfect is boring and human is awesome! Now you may ask why does she sound so… different to what we hear apart from the obvious that we all have different eardrums and thus hear sound differently?
When Britney Spears performs, she doesn’t just sing; she performs (dancing, panting, sighing, and gyrating like a fruit). She dances and prances and pulls all sorts of weird and wonderful maneuvers like a Chinese gymnast. For that reason, it is more correct to say that Britney Spears is an entertainer; a very pretty one who’d I’d like to take to the movies.
When someone dances as crazy as she does during the entire performance, it’s not surprising that Britney’s out of breath and puffing harder than a puffer who puffs so much that they puff puffs; badda bing badda boom… lip-sync time! What you’re actually hearing is Britney pretending to sing so that it looks real to the audience. While the audience hears a prerecorded “perfect” vocal line, the sound technician hears what she actually sounds like at the time.
While you’re listening, just remember a couple of things: (1) This is a compilation, so all the bad bits were mushed together making it sound worse than it actually is; (2) Britney is dancing like a madwoman on crack at the same time so there’s no possible way she can sound like she does on the recording; and (3) let’s face it … it’s just her doing enough so she can go through the entire concert. Let’s not crucify her OK? But I love how Britney sounds like she’s singing in the shower. Heck, this is how I sing!!
World peace!

My friend did once at she went a little -rolls eyes- THIS GIRL IS HAVING HER BIRTHDAY ON A JET! And stuff like that… I’ve been trying to see that show. With another long list of other shows.
I’m not watching anymore shows! Too addictive @_@
oh my god i can sing better than that and everyone know she records with a voice box up in cleveland. why do you think the box is called the britney box
She was dancing to be fair, and when you dance that much, it is rather hard to sing.
