What Does Britney Spears Really Sound Like?
By Kym Huynh on Nov 12, 2007 in Entertainment Secrets
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!
On this day..

Oh don’t listen to Back Where I Begun! That song makes me embarrassed haha.

I still like it. and i was actually talking about the whole taking Britney to a movie thing, but yes, i do know about the movie you thought i knew about. Though i don’t know why i’d randomly say that…lol

I added this to my favorites to listen to the hilariously horrible awfulness over and over again xD

OK, like…this is basically saying that if you went up to britney in person and said “sing” this is what you would hear. What you hear in concert and on CD’s and whatnot is //aaafffttteeerrr// the edit it and whatnot. Make her sound prettier

this makes me want to give her a little more respect, even though live singing is expected at a performance

Oh, wow, Helena! I read that and started laughing my head off, though i don’t think that’s what you were implying…*shakes head laughing* If i’m not totally lost, i think we were talking about the movie i don’t know the name of with some dude who had too much sugar at some point and kills someone–and i think that someone just happens to be Kym….or am i so far off its not even funny?

Haha I guess we all have things that we make that we all slightly cringe at.
Yeah I totally want to take Miss Britney Spears to a movie haha. Britney call me!!

It’s what Britney Spears sounds like when she’s lip syncing. Because she’s puffed out dancing and performing, she doesn’t really sing live… only “mimes” so it looks real.
Kym Huynh | Nov 14, 2007 | Reply
Hi Liza! Haha awesome. Easy easy easy!! Britney is going through a tough time… (as we all are I guess lol)

*Replies to the funnily faded comment* You’re like the first person to ever send me a faded comment haha. I didn’t even know this was possible.
Actually Britney would sound a lot better if you just asked her to sing… this is what she sounds like when she’s going mental dancing… she’s puffing after all… singing when puffing is impossible…
Kym Huynh | Nov 14, 2007 | Reply
The question is… can you if you’re dancing like a madman on crack at the same time? Eh? Eh? EH???
Kym Huynh | Nov 14, 2007 | Reply
Nooo you must listen. It is… awesome!!
Kym Huynh | Nov 14, 2007 | Reply
Hey Mike! Great to see you here. Noo don’t say it’s horrible! This is how I sing when I’m in the shower!!

*pokes* I’m sure you’re amazing.
Kym Huynh | Nov 14, 2007 | Reply
I agree… but I think Britney markets herself more as an entertainer than a singer so I’m not going to crucify her

Speaking of sugar, I was talking to a friend today about sugar. Some travelers traveled to Australia with nothing but tonnes of sugar and a shield… they didn’t make it.
