Ok besides the fact that her voice has changed so much, can we talk about how she was so good at such a young age like young kids don't (generally) sing so dark and powerful like damn
She does show her original voice usually from what I've heard. Hit me baby one more time, Oops I did it again, Crazy, Womanizer. All of these show her vocal strength. *This is a misunderstanding. If you listen to it, she doesn't have a "baby" voice in her songs.* Maybe a little in *"I'm a slave for you"* (but it makes sense for that song, not fav, but good song)
"born to make you happy" and "from the bottom of my broken heart" beautifully display her vocal range. Her baby one more time cd is a master for her vocals.
Márcio Rocha no, that’s bs. she “damaged” her voice because she stopped practicing singing, your voice is a muscle and obviously lack of practice is going to weaken her voice, plus it doesn’t help that she smokes
I never stated that anyone forced her to do anything... However, it all started when the producers and songwriters at Jive Records taught her how to sing in a more and I quote, “mid-nasal raspy sexy voice” for her debut album. They felt that Britney’s natural and much grander voice would not allow her to succeed in mainstream pop music. So THEY MADE HER sing the songs that was written for her how THEY wanted it. Which ultimately limited Britney from showing the world in her music that she was much more than just a “mid-nasal, raspy sexy voice” vocalist. All and all, I guess one could say she was forced into singing that way...
Naylani Rider I totally agree with you. She never decided to sound more babyish she was totally forced to sing that way. If you actually watch some of her interviews, she is deeply hurt and oppressed because she was totally forced into singing like this. I actually started crying with her in that interview. I totally respect you as a voice and singing couch and liked every single video you have presented on your UA-cam channel, but truthfully, you really need to go have a look into why BS was forced into singing in this style. Its really sad as she really didn't want to but...
You Made My Day her talent hasn’t been destroyed, literally she sang live in 2018 and she still sounds pretty good, just lacks control because of that baby voice
zack parsley unbelievable. She had a really great voice, and a great talent. I can't believe she was forced to sing like we're used to now. She should take her career back in her hands and start another phase.
The difference between your videos and (most) other reaction videos is that these actually serve a purpose and are super informational and helpful. I don't really like reaction videos, but yours are unique and just entertaining in general ^^
I wonder if the plan was for her to sound completely different to Christina? If Britney had kept a darker voice, the two girls might not have both become popular at the same time as they would be too similar?
It's the other way around Christina's label made her go more pop to sound more like britney. It's crazy cause both were originally going to be adult contemporary singers but when the bubblegum pop blew up both were turned into pop stars. Jive hired max Martin to work with britney and teach her the baby voice and then xtinas label saw how well britney was doing and made xtina sing britney sounding music.
I’m surprised you never mentioned that this “baby voice” does a huge amount of damage on your voice to the point where her actual voice is kinda cracky now. She’s so used to this baby voice that she even talks like her fake voice
They have to speed up her audio to create her iconic voice, which is why she lipsyncs. That’s not her real voice anymore. It’s been repitched in post-production, like for Alvin and the Chipmunks. You can find footage on Instagram of her singing “I can’t help falling in love with you” and if you slow it down by .25% then it sounds exactly like she did when she was younger. Like... exactly. And the footage looks weird as posted, but when slowed down looks far more natural. It’s fascinating.
I remember thinking that was going to be total bogus, and then when you watched the FILMING make more sense slowed down I was like... damn. This is so wild.
I don’t think they speed up her voice in the studio as her last album didn’t have as much of the baby voice but feel she speeds up her instagram videos as a way to cover her insecurities over her voice
Shane Dawson haha... but that's not really true, they don't pitch her voice in studio, because even though the baby voice is not "real", she can do it herself (she's done it live many times). She probably pitches her insta videos bc she feels insecure.
Her voice is very unique to me. She has a lot of sounds that she can do and she is just one of those singers that You know it is her when you hear her.
I agree to an extent, but in Britney's case, it is a fake voice that took a big toll on her overall singing. Since 1999 when she started to use it for everything she sang, she is literally not able to carry a tune anymore, she can't even sustain a 2 second note anymore without cracking if she decides to use that weird baby voice. To be completely honest I don't think she would've been less succesful if she decided to use her healthier darker sound. And yes it is healthier FOR HER, she naturally gets extremely tense when using the baby voice because her natural voice is so much lower. It's not the same as Camila Cabello for example; she uses basically the same baby voice but her natural voice is very high pitched and whiny, so she doesn't force it too much. Anyways I love my queen Britney and it's a shame that her label forced her to sing in that voice, yeah that probably helped her numbers but I don't think she was ever comfortable singing that way. Loved your input tho
Anything could have damaged her voice, though. Smoking, for example... that's major. Non-singers can suffer vocal damage from smoking alone. For example, Whitney Houston's voice was destroyed by the end of her career probably, in part, due to her smoking. The only way to really know would be to have the private medical records between Britney and her doctor. My guess is that the partying, stress, touring, etc. all played very major roles in the decline of her voice. How she sang was probably one small contributing factor as well, but I wouldn't say it was the primary reason as plenty of singers have done what she did without significant issue.
Tristan Paredes Agreed, but I really believe that her way of singing wasn't appropriate for her, even in 1999 she could never sing any of her songs on pitch, that combined with the whole 2007 breakdown really messed her up and it's sad. Same for Whitney, although Whitney's level of singing was way too advanced and demanding, compared to most Britney songs that only use like half an octave. Love the reactions! React to Mariah Carey tho👀
Yep!!! I personally don't like Britney's music; I'm not into bubblegum. But that voice required her to drop her support. She basically had to re-learn to sing. She's such a sweet girl though; I hope she has more to offer when she's older like Cyndi.
Don't forget about that one video from her Instagram around Christmas. It was her singing acapella but it looked like the video was sped up to make her voice sound higher pitched. Also there's this. Idk how altered this is but it's interesting. ua-cam.com/video/4yPFCfsWjIU/v-deo.html
Tristan Paredes i think that using her voice the way she does it's tiring, because i hear tension in her voice, it's like she is like holding back her voice, she suffocates it. I never really heard vocal damage, i just noticed she learnt to sing without letting go her voice too much, and it's more tiring and stressful than belting imo.
Yes i agree with you! If she continued to sing like this, she won't be the iconic Britney Spears we know right now. It won't make her as famous as she is right now. It's unique and make her succesful as it fit the bubblegum pop which most of people can easily enjoy.
soraya kharid it’s sad but true :-/ I have loved Britney since the start ! And always will but I wonder as a kid would a deep voice (that I personally love now) would have have sold to me as a little 9 year old.
I'm sorry this isn't related to the actual video, but, every once in a while when you film I can see your eyes look just above the camera and it just occurred to me that you're smiling up at Aloona fffffff I love you all
It is fake in a way that they forced her to make her voice sound so baby-like. While she did become iconic, it damaged her voice. I've been watching her recent videos and she is struggling.
Britney still uses this voice, she just builded her career in her pop tone, but she always spits several deeper vocals in some parts of her songs in their albums. In the album Glory she shows a lot of deep vocals in almost every song, I love her voice. She hypnotize me 😁
It's interesting to me that millennials seem surprised when they see videos of her singing like this. When she became famous, there were so many interviews with her and programs about her, and these clips were shown many times. Those of us who were around back then knew about her "real" voice.
I really think people tend to forget Britney started to be famous in the 90s... a time when standards were really different than today. And believe me, it's painful to say that, as I was born in the 90's and Britney was so a big thing I tried everything to get a CD from her even if I was living in a dictatorship where Western's music was forbidden ^^' Oh boy, I'm getting old !!
To everyone who's confused Britney had a naturally deep voice but her label forced her to sing in her "known voice" which is constantly damaging her voice n then she tried to release an album w get natural voice she's comfortable in but the label found out n forced her to get in a contract w her dad that prevented her frm even seeing her kids, using her phone, or even driving for a coffee wo permissio n surveillance frm her dad n this has been going on since TWELVE YRS n it recently got to the press n now theres a free britney campaign or smthng going on n I totally agree w it this is not even a gist jus search it up I jus wanted to say that this vid honestly triggered me bc I knew this all n he didn't jus fyi,,,,
Watching this while watching Eurovision, such dedication 😂 Also it's so interesting how her voice has completely changed and is now so iconic, I really like her darker voice tho
Can you react to her singing recently in Vegas "Something to Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt, she uses what I like to think is her natural deeper voice, it sounds more like what you hear in this video which proves she still has a voice she just doesn't use that natural one in her studio work. It also proves she CAN sing live and impressively ua-cam.com/video/FCYAibuiLLo/v-deo.html
Ok tristan you made me a subscriber and not just a casual watcher with this one! Britney is queen and you defending her and her voice was everything i needed!
Totally agree with you, if she sing with her original voice, she probably wouldn't be that popular, I believe that her baby voice is kinda company's strategy, but without that unique baby voice, we probably have a Britney with her last name Spears, not just the Britney can present her only by her first name. BTW I'm from Asia, so my English is not that good, maybe my words could be weird or hard to read lol
Imagine if Britney voice didnt re-shape and pushed that Baby Voice sound which is artist in 90s used it she will be a great vocalist and well recieve by Music Awards like having a lots of Grammy...From the start she want to be like SHAINA & ALANIS but since the label knew she can dance they pursue her to POP, but i believe she still have that VOCALS like she posted some clips singing in a high pitched voice and that Vegas performance. Britney need to be free and allow her to record what she wants.
That's what hurts. That girl was simply stunning. Don't tell she wouldn't have been famous! You can't deny a beauty like her, especially when she was first starting out. She could also write songs, as seen in Every Time.
karlah lol on Eurovision most singers have good voices, I mean look at Cyprus 2018 and Ruslana from 2004, they literally dance the whole time and sound angelic throughout.
Steffers 71914 I so totally agree...miley can’t sing. I work in large venue arenas/ stadiums, so have heard just about all major “stars”. Her and Katy Perry were the WORST. All their fans do is complain abt how horrible they sound and I agree.
Not sure how true this is but, I heard that the label that signed Britney wanted her to change her vocals because that strong singing voice that she had in the beginning was similar to Christina Aguilera's and that they wanted to make the 2 completely different from each other. I still love Britney no matter what though!!
There's a recent video of her singing "Something to Talk About" live and acapella I believe... You should critique her voice now, I really enjoy your videos by the way
I totally agree with you about the mindset that the range of a singer shows how good a singer she is. I'm not a vocal coach but I love music and love singers regardless of range. Loving your posts. :) Keep it up!
There's no 'real' voice or 'fake' voice when it comes to singers. Versatility is the ability to modify your voice to suit a particular style. I'm not gonna use the same voice for a rock gig that I use for jazz standards.
But the thing is this fake voice came because the way they trained her ruined her technique. She was basically taught to use nasal power for all of her support instead of her diaphragm. It was a very unhealthy way of singing and as you might know, it's hard for a singer with good technique to sing in bad technique once they've mastered the good technique. Britney got a 1 year training session where they taught her improper technique to sing in that voice.
4:43 everyone kinda was going for that big mariah sound with the soft angelic runs. i think it worked for mariah because she was the pioneer as well as her tone is more textured and every part of her voice is so interesting to hear.
You are a breath of fresh air!!! Pragmatic, open-minded, positive, honest, humble, well-intentioned. I like to refer to you as “tea-free content” and it makes me so happy! I always know that I can click on any video of yours and feel positive and inspired instead of tearing the artists down or belittling their successes. Thank you for being you!!
I like how you ALWAYS say nice things about the singer you’re reacting at. Thank you for spreading positivity in a world that is bombarding us with negativity. Wish you a good day.
Britney’s voice when she was little is A1. She can still sing, but in a different way, which you said. Finally, a vocal coach with common sense. Seriously am obsessed with your videos.
Nefertiti Montoya well, Shakira had a serious injury at her right vocal chord, in 2017, which forced her to postpone her tour. It means that everyone's desperately looking for that "weird" way of singing, to be commercially attractive. But it can be dangerous.
Yes, John Mayer's poor technique and unhealthy lifestyle (too much alcohol) contributed to his granuloma, which required he stop talking for months. He had 2 botox injections in his vocal chords to stop the chords from losing and further injuring the granuloma. I love John mayer's musicianship and he is one of my favorite artists.you could always see strain in his neck, especially trying to hit falsetto notes. His voice has changed a bit and he limits his range now to protect it. This is all his admission and not my criticisms.
I feel like I honestly learn and take stuff from each and every one of your videos. I feel like it is also helping me learn how to sing better and I love your way of describing things because it makes so much sense.
Her voice has always been underrated to me. She’s capable of doing a lot vocally - I’m not talking vocal acrobatics or having a huge range, but her voice has many different aspects that make it appealing. Her entire first album really showcases what she was, any may still be capable of delivering vocally. Great lows, capable belting and a really beautiful falsetto. The one favor she should do herself is begin to sing live more often.
OMG! Thank you so much for this! You're one of my favorite vocal coach reactor and Britney Spears is my IDOL! 😍 Your every comment is on point! People these days don't really know the definition of singing and how to appreciate different artists' singing styles. Thanks for this Tristan! ❤️Good job! 👍🏻
4:12 how do we know that? A gifted manager with vision couldn't have guided her to the top and made her both commercially successful and iconic in such a way that she would be viewed as one of the greatest vocal talents of all time?
This earned my sub. Damn this video is interesting as hell. I would've never thought Britney could sing this way. Not that she couldn't sing, or that she is a bad singer, just sing THIS way. Amazing voice. Have you thought of doing some reactions on male voices in rock? I'd say Matt Sanders (M Shadows) from Avenged Sevenfold. I personally think his gutural scream is pure crap and Idk if it's true but it's been said that he went away from that style due to throat issues or whatever (like he was hurting himself). I love the band and for better or worse, I like everything they've done as of today for different reasons. When it comes to the singing though, I'd say City of Evil and Self-titled albums are the best ones and when he showcases that his hard work with a vocal coach paid off as well as giving kind of a final form to his voice from before.
@1:45 even as a child that lil "Britney zing" is in her!! producers and the label brought it out! At the end of the day she made her OWN fucking legacy not anybody else! PERIODT!!!!!!!! all this judging wether a person can sing or not when the majority of "true" singers can't sell a record to save their life! gurl bye. Ppl will ALWAYS be bitter that a entertainer like herself sells more and is more successful than a vocalist! It's called having a "IT" factor.
I know this video is done three years ago so my comments a little late but it gives us something to look back on she started out singing like this and when she got real famous she switched to more of a baby sounding voice which I think we can all agree everything that’s happened in Britney Spears‘s life has been because of her father he’s made her do a lot of things that she is now speaking out on saying she did not wanna do it that way she was forced so I think the voice goes right along with that when she was singing like this she seemed very excited happy it was like she knew she could sing and she had a diva voice not a popstar voice but a diva voice and you can tell by her clips she wanted to be a diva she wanted to be like a Diana Ross a Tina turner but those kind of singers have to work a lot harder and it’s not commercial success overnight the popstar route on the other hand you can get recognized a lot quicker and that’s just a fact of it that’s why you don’t see a lot of divas nowadays because recording agencies don’t wanna deal with the work they just wanna cash cow and that’s what her dad wanted a cash cow someone to just bring in the money as quick as they could bring it in so when people say she has a real voice and a fake Voice it’s because we can see through her over the years she showed us and she’s giving us clues that that life that we seen was not really her it was somebody else making her do all of those things she did not want to do and in return she’s literally said she hates singing now she doesn’t ever want to sing again because of all of that I feel like if she was to reinvent herself and come out singing like this she would get so much probably three it would be crazy because nobody thinks she could sing like this
Thank you thank you thank you! I try to explain this to people all the time. If she wasn’t talented they wouldn’t have signed her to begin with and given her such high budget compared to others at the time .
But if she fakes a baby voice, how do you explain that she still has a baby voice even when she speaks? I can't imagine somebody who pretends his voice😂
she's been doing this since always, i guess now it's easier to her to "fake" her tone than talk at her natural range since it's what she's been doing since she was a teenager
Many transgender girls sometimes do the same thing. I heard the majority of them do it unconscious, even when they are talking. Having that said, I LOVE the trans community and luckily, most of them feel like they do not need to have a femme fatale voice to feel validated as women 👏
'Bright' voices are much easier to hear over an instrumental in a mix. I work in studios, record singers, and write. It's often preferred as it's easier to go down when needed most of the time. Also it's not fake. that has no meaning. When she sings in that key, that's how she sounds and so happens a lot of people prefer it. I can take either. Actually hearing her sing lower is also exciting to see. Sometimes it's the song. It would be interesting to hear her sing baby one more time just a little lower, in another key for fun. Maybe 3 to 5 notes down, and it would need to be remixed. But the original is the original and wouldn't want to lose that. It's history. Except then people would attack it saying she had to put it lower. Also something people don't seem to notice is that she often descends down to lower notes in her songs and can easily be heard on CD or whatever media, but they tend to not notice. She has an almost 'growly' sound. Like in Toxic, one second she's fairly low, like "oh baby can't you see, I'm calling, a guy like you, should wear a warning, it's dangerous..". Then next then you know she's way up the scale singing higher notes, ".. can't come down.. my head's spinning all around" is then sung fairly high. Yet people again, don't notice these transitions. They just repeat what they see and sometimes I think they are not truly listening. People like to talk about it, and they get so picky, omg :D
She's one of the best performers of all time. Her team makes her create these poppy songs but that's definitely not her vibe. She's said numerous times she hasn't had creative control over anything in a long time but now she's finally getting it all back! Can't wait for her new album 💙💙💙💙
Ok besides the fact that her voice has changed so much, can we talk about how she was so good at such a young age like young kids don't (generally) sing so dark and powerful like damn
Rosie yeah like mckenna grace!
She was forced to sing in that awful baby voice, almost ruined her natural one. So sad.
She does show her original voice usually from what I've heard. Hit me baby one more time, Oops I did it again, Crazy, Womanizer. All of these show her vocal strength. *This is a misunderstanding. If you listen to it, she doesn't have a "baby" voice in her songs.* Maybe a little in *"I'm a slave for you"* (but it makes sense for that song, not fav, but good song)
"born to make you happy" and "from the bottom of my broken heart" beautifully display her vocal range. Her baby one more time cd is a master for her vocals.
Serah Olivia two of my OG FAVES
Britney didn't choose to have the baby voice, her label forced her to do it and it has damaged her voice.
@Queen Beyonce 😂 yikes
@Queen Beyonce hahaha you're just saying that because you're a Beyonce stan, and can't take it if their is another queen.
False... I did not damage her voice.
No, Tristan said himself that baby voice doesn’t damage your voice.
Márcio Rocha no, that’s bs. she “damaged” her voice because she stopped practicing singing, your voice is a muscle and obviously lack of practice is going to weaken her voice, plus it doesn’t help that she smokes
I blame Britney’s record label for making her sing in that “baby voice” and not allowing her to display her range😒...
orlock20 what..
She sounded too much like Christina
I never stated that anyone forced her to do anything... However, it all started when the producers and songwriters at Jive Records taught her how to sing in a more and I quote, “mid-nasal raspy sexy voice” for her debut album.

Naylani Rider this^^
She has really been multitalented from such a young age. It’s really impressive!
and destroyed too soon.. the history of Britney always makes me sad
You Made My Day it is really tragic
You Made My Day her talent hasn’t been destroyed, literally she sang live in 2018 and she still sounds pretty good, just lacks control because of that baby voice
Lol I thought that said mutilated. I was like yeah, the illuminati really fucked her up lol
zack parsley unbelievable. She had a really great voice, and a great talent. I can't believe she was forced to sing like we're used to now. She should take her career back in her hands and start another phase.
The difference between your videos and (most) other reaction videos is that these actually serve a purpose and are super informational and helpful. I don't really like reaction videos, but yours are unique and just entertaining in general ^^
NuclearDucky Agree! As a beginner these are very educational while entertaining at the same time.
because he looks honest not "acting" or "overreacting" to look funny
I like darker fuller voice much better than light and bright sounds. Healthy or not, I just think the sound is prettier.
Mika Lei I like both
Both are beautiful
I like her darker fuller voice. I think it sounds prettier. I know that Tristan said that she isn't nasally but she sounds like she is.
Yes but she wouldn't have been able to sustain it.
I'm getting a soulful vibe from child Britney
I wonder if the plan was for her to sound completely different to Christina? If Britney had kept a darker voice, the two girls might not have both become popular at the same time as they would be too similar?
Rachel Gerrard you got it! Theres some old songs she sounds just like Xtina genie in a bottle days
And we know which one became the undisputed Princess of Pop.
If Britney had success with her real voice more than likely Christina would not have made it
It's the other way around Christina's label made her go more pop to sound more like britney.
It's crazy cause both were originally going to be adult contemporary singers but when the bubblegum pop blew up both were turned into pop stars. Jive hired max Martin to work with britney and teach her the baby voice and then xtinas label saw how well britney was doing and made xtina sing britney sounding music.
how could that be the plan? Britney was signed and had her first single out before Christina.
I’m surprised you never mentioned that this “baby voice” does a huge amount of damage on your voice to the point where her actual voice is kinda cracky now. She’s so used to this baby voice that she even talks like her fake voice

Britney's deeper voice is absolutely gorgeous. Almost on par with Mariah or Whitney.
Yes it is. Imagined if they let her sing like this and dance
Her voice is very unique to me. She has a lot of sounds that she can do and she is just one of those singers that You know it is her when you hear her.
I don't agree, a lot of people sing like her. Nyxx, for example, sounds sooo similar to her.

@@elijah4457 says you dumbass
It is fake in a way that they forced her to make her voice sound so baby-like. While she did become iconic, it damaged her voice. I've been watching her recent videos and she is struggling.
OHBAYBEH BAYBEH
This made me laugh so hard! Hahhahaha thank you!
I heard this comment lmaoo
Emerald Earth me too!
Britney still uses this voice, she just builded her career in her pop tone, but she always spits several deeper vocals in some parts of her songs in their albums. In the album Glory she shows a lot of deep vocals in almost every song, I love her voice. She hypnotize me 😁
i love that you cut through all the stereotypical bullshit about singing and are open to all voices and tones.
It's interesting to me that millennials seem surprised when they see videos of her singing like this. When she became famous, there were so many interviews with her and programs about her, and these clips were shown many times. Those of us who were around back then knew about her "real" voice.
I really think people tend to forget Britney started to be famous in the 90s... a time when standards were really different than today. And believe me, it's painful to say that, as I was born in the 90's and Britney was so a big thing I tried everything to get a CD from her even if I was living in a dictatorship where Western's music was forbidden ^^' Oh boy, I'm getting old !!
Baby one more time Album had her best voices like come out in from my broken heart
This proves shes naturally an alto not a soprano, those deep notes are awesome!!
To everyone who's confused Britney had a naturally deep voice but her label forced her to sing in her "known voice" which is constantly damaging her voice n then she tried to release an album w get natural voice she's comfortable in but the label found out n forced her to get in a contract w her dad that prevented her frm even seeing her kids, using her phone, or even driving for a coffee wo permissio n surveillance frm her dad n this has been going on since TWELVE YRS n it recently got to the press n now theres a free britney campaign or smthng going on n I totally agree w it this is not even a gist jus search it up I jus wanted to say that this vid honestly triggered me bc I knew this all n he didn't jus fyi,,,,
Watching this while watching Eurovision, such dedication 😂 Also it's so interesting how her voice has completely changed and is now so iconic, I really like her darker voice tho
haha oh my me too! bored by the voting, so checking youtube instead ;)
Rosie Didn't even know it was on.
Go Israel :D
Rosie eurovision sucked lol
we're in top 5 atm and totally confused. We don't know how to deal with that....
I am SO GLAD you made this video. The world needs to know her talent!!
The Britney voice is so deep, powerful and beautiful !!! Forever in love !!! ❤
Pleaseee react to her live cover of "Something to Talk About", which she did last year. It was amazing and she did it with her deeper voice!
I DEMAND some Eurovision reactions... please
Mina F YEEEEEES I commented the saaaaame thing
Yasssss
Yesssss
Mina F I'VE BEEN ASKING ALL WEEK!
oh God, yeeees!
Yes thank you for this video! I am so done with everyone saying that Britney can’t sing. She for sure can. I love her tone and I love her voice.
Can you react to her singing recently in Vegas "Something to Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt, she uses what I like to think is her natural deeper voice, it sounds more like what you hear in this video which proves she still has a voice she just doesn't use that natural one in her studio work. It also proves she CAN sing live and impressively

omg this video should go viral!
I loved that performance!
Ok tristan you made me a subscriber and not just a casual watcher with this one! Britney is queen and you defending her and her voice was everything i needed!
Totally agree with you, if she sing with her original voice, she probably wouldn't be that popular, I believe that her baby voice is kinda company's strategy, but without that unique baby voice, we probably have a Britney with her last name Spears, not just the Britney can present her only by her first name.
BTW I'm from Asia, so my English is not that good, maybe my words could be weird or hard to read lol
You are obviously focusing on her as an artist, not her as a person. Sad
I love how you're always so positive towards singers. You're never judgmental.
Imagine if Britney voice didnt re-shape and pushed that Baby Voice sound which is artist in 90s used it she will be a great vocalist and well recieve by Music Awards like having a lots of Grammy...From the start she want to be like SHAINA & ALANIS but since the label knew she can dance they pursue her to POP, but i believe she still have that VOCALS like she posted some clips singing in a high pitched voice and that Vegas performance. Britney need to be free and allow her to record what she wants.
That's what hurts. That girl was simply stunning. Don't tell she wouldn't have been famous! You can't deny a beauty like her, especially when she was first starting out. She could also write songs, as seen in Every Time.
React to eurovision 2018 grand finale perdormances if you know what that is. There were really some good voices!
karlah lol on Eurovision most singers have good voices, I mean look at Cyprus 2018 and Ruslana from 2004, they literally dance the whole time and sound angelic throughout.
and yet the chicken won lmao cyprus honey im so sorry
It had a shit winner
Vokiev the song is fun actually but not something I would like to hear all year around xD even Salvador was more bearable
The Albanian guy was amaziiing!
Miley Cyrus best vocals plz
j u l i o YES OMG PLEASE MILEY CYRUS BEST VOCALS
j u l i o yes please
Love Miley she's unique, she has her own signature sound
She sucks. There is no best vocals.
Steffers 71914 I so totally agree...miley can’t sing. I work in large venue arenas/ stadiums, so have heard just about all major “stars”. Her and Katy Perry were the WORST. All their fans do is complain abt how horrible they sound and I agree.
I think it’s time for her to start using her original voice it sounds beautiful and we would be able to finally see her full potential.
react to Sabrina Carpenter singing!!
Not sure how true this is but, I heard that the label that signed Britney wanted her to change her vocals because that strong singing voice that she had in the beginning was similar to Christina Aguilera's and that they wanted to make the 2 completely different from each other. I still love Britney no matter what though!!
There's a recent video of her singing "Something to Talk About" live and acapella I believe... You should critique her voice now, I really enjoy your videos by the way
Alberto G Yes please
The Backstreet Boys were also asked to change their vocal sound. It was just the best choice for their genre and clearly worked.
Can you do a reaction to Billie Eilish. I never heard of her until today and her voice sounds amazing to me😭
jo ana just my opinion....to me meh.....just another typical indie artist.
THANK YOU for this vid. I saw Britney in concert last summer in Vegas and I've been a fan since I was 6.
PLEASE React to "Alex Newell Live Vocal Range: (D3-F6)(NoteBy Note)" I know you already know who Alex is, but please!
I totally agree with you about the mindset that the range of a singer shows how good a singer she is. I'm not a vocal coach but I love music and love singers regardless of range. Loving your posts. :) Keep it up!
There's no 'real' voice or 'fake' voice when it comes to singers. Versatility is the ability to modify your voice to suit a particular style. I'm not gonna use the same voice for a rock gig that I use for jazz standards.
But the thing is this fake voice came because the way they trained her ruined her technique. She was basically taught to use nasal power for all of her support instead of her diaphragm. It was a very unhealthy way of singing and as you might know, it's hard for a singer with good technique to sing in bad technique once they've mastered the good technique. Britney got a 1 year training session where they taught her improper technique to sing in that voice.
Facts
I love her. She is legend already.
Can you please react to Shawn Mendes live vocals please ?! Or Shawn Mendes voice cracks if you are in the mood for a laugh !! 😂 thank you !!
4:43 everyone kinda was going for that big mariah sound with the soft angelic runs. i think it worked for mariah because she was the pioneer as well as her tone is more textured and every part of her voice is so interesting to hear.
Britney Spears is legendary 👑🌠
You are a breath of fresh air!!! Pragmatic, open-minded, positive, honest, humble, well-intentioned. I like to refer to you as “tea-free content” and it makes me so happy! I always know that I can click on any video of yours and feel positive and inspired instead of tearing the artists down or belittling their successes. Thank you for being you!!
YAAAAS MORE BRITNEY
She is a coloratura contralto like Shakira, Amy Winehouse or Annie Lennox. But she sings in soubrette style now.
I also think Britney can sing but I think she lacks control so it often gets away from her. (just my opinion)
jerrie2u yep! She lacks control from not having to practice.
Rayne Michael A bit of refining wouldn't hurt either. She has yet to find her sweet spot.
She has a unique voice. Beautiful
COME ONNNN REACT TO TWENTY ONE PILOTS PLEASEEEEEE!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like how you ALWAYS say nice things about the singer you’re reacting at.
Thank you for spreading positivity in a world that is bombarding us with negativity. Wish you a good day.
He should react to Michael Jackson. Great video
Britney’s voice when she was little is A1. She can still sing, but in a different way, which you said. Finally, a vocal coach with common sense. Seriously am obsessed with your videos.
I need vocal lessons just to be able to talk lol. If I talk for more than 20 min I start losing my voice
Erica Aguirre you have to go to the doctor to get therapy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Been waiting for this :)
In your opinion, is there an unhealthy way to sing that you can think of?
Nefertiti Montoya unhealthy way is the one that destroys the vocal cords? Or maybe destroyed vocal cords are not unhealthy either.
Probably if you’re straining. That can’t be good for your vocal chords
Nefertiti Montoya well, Shakira had a serious injury at her right vocal chord, in 2017, which forced her to postpone her tour. It means that everyone's desperately looking for that "weird" way of singing, to be commercially attractive. But it can be dangerous.
Yes, John Mayer's poor technique and unhealthy lifestyle (too much alcohol) contributed to his granuloma, which required he stop talking for months. He had 2 botox injections in his vocal chords to stop the chords from losing and further injuring the granuloma. I love John mayer's musicianship and he is one of my favorite artists.you could always see strain in his neck, especially trying to hit falsetto notes. His voice has changed a bit and he limits his range now to protect it. This is all his admission and not my criticisms.
Nefertiti Montoya Straining
I feel like I honestly learn and take stuff from each and every one of your videos. I feel like it is also helping me learn how to sing better and I love your way of describing things because it makes so much sense.
I love your content and I’m a new subscriber. I was wondering if you have done a reaction video to Amy Lee from Evanescence?
Nick B. YESSS I LOVE HER
peachypaulina I’m such a dork cuz I’ve loved her since the first album. 15 years. Jeez. Lol
Her voice has always been underrated to me. She’s capable of doing a lot vocally - I’m not talking vocal acrobatics or having a huge range, but her voice has many different aspects that make it appealing. Her entire first album really showcases what she was, any may still be capable of delivering vocally. Great lows, capable belting and a really beautiful falsetto. The one favor she should do herself is begin to sing live more often.
hey!! you should react to "Perrie Edwards - Best Vocals Live (PART 2)" perrie is in a girl group called little mix ♥
OMG! Thank you so much for this! You're one of my favorite vocal coach reactor and Britney Spears is my IDOL! 😍
Your every comment is on point! People these days don't really know the definition of singing and how to appreciate different artists' singing styles.
Thanks for this Tristan! ❤️Good job! 👍🏻
Do a video on singers conspiracy theories
You're so honest and unbiased 😊
Lysm😘😘😘😘 wish I could sing like you
I adore you. Totally agree with you about both pitches, an artist chooses, being THEIR voice still. Love your videos 😉. Keep them up!
Please react to Lana Del Rey
YESSS
Trevor Johnson that would be super intriguing!!!
Yesss
I think her voice is so soothing and beautiful
I've been watching your videos for a while, but this is the one that made me subscribe.
React to EUROVISION 2018 please!
ua-cam.com/video/QxxEuYqwHiI/v-deo.html
4:12 how do we know that? A gifted manager with vision couldn't have guided her to the top and made her both commercially successful and iconic in such a way that she would be viewed as one of the greatest vocal talents of all time?
Sigrid best live vocals please! Or how to sing like Sigrid
Get urself a guy that looks at you the way Tristan looks at anyone singing 😂❤️😘 Ly Tristan!! Secretly have been binge watching u for a week hahaha
React to people hitting Kesha’s night note
YES!! Britney 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 we needed this video!
This earned my sub. Damn this video is interesting as hell. I would've never thought Britney could sing this way. Not that she couldn't sing, or that she is a bad singer, just sing THIS way. Amazing voice.
Have you thought of doing some reactions on male voices in rock? I'd say Matt Sanders (M Shadows) from Avenged Sevenfold.
I personally think his gutural scream is pure crap and Idk if it's true but it's been said that he went away from that style due to throat issues or whatever (like he was hurting himself). I love the band and for better or worse, I like everything they've done as of today for different reasons.
When it comes to the singing though, I'd say City of Evil and Self-titled albums are the best ones and when he showcases that his hard work with a vocal coach paid off as well as giving kind of a final form to his voice from before.
@1:45 even as a child that lil "Britney zing" is in her!! producers and the label brought it out! At the end of the day she made her OWN fucking legacy not anybody else! PERIODT!!!!!!!! all this judging wether a person can sing or not when the majority of "true" singers can't sell a record to save their life! gurl bye. Ppl will ALWAYS be bitter that a entertainer like herself sells more and is more successful than a vocalist! It's called having a "IT" factor.
Why is that staircase in the background such an aesthetic omgg
I know this video is done three years ago so my comments a little late but it gives us something to look back on she started out singing like this and when she got real famous she switched to more of a baby sounding voice which I think we can all agree everything that’s happened in Britney Spears‘s life has been because of her father he’s made her do a lot of things that she is now speaking out on saying she did not wanna do it that way she was forced so I think the voice goes right along with that when she was singing like this she seemed very excited happy it was like she knew she could sing and she had a diva voice not a popstar voice but a diva voice and you can tell by her clips she wanted to be a diva she wanted to be like a Diana Ross a Tina turner but those kind of singers have to work a lot harder and it’s not commercial success overnight the popstar route on the other hand you can get recognized a lot quicker and that’s just a fact of it that’s why you don’t see a lot of divas nowadays because recording agencies don’t wanna deal with the work they just wanna cash cow and that’s what her dad wanted a cash cow someone to just bring in the money as quick as they could bring it in so when people say she has a real voice and a fake Voice it’s because we can see through her over the years she showed us and she’s giving us clues that that life that we seen was not really her it was somebody else making her do all of those things she did not want to do and in return she’s literally said she hates singing now she doesn’t ever want to sing again because of all of that I feel like if she was to reinvent herself and come out singing like this she would get so much probably three it would be crazy because nobody thinks she could sing like this
Actually, it's possible that she would have been just as iconic; Xtina is iconic even though she had a big voice.
thats the point,, more competition for the "big voice" , hence not unique
I think Britney had a great first single and video.
OH MAH GAWD ALL MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED THANK YOUUUU!!!
TAYLOR MOMSEN
Vicki Valium YES YES YES
Agree. Yes!
More Britney! Love her
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
React to Something to talk about (live) by britney that was the last time she sang live... it was last year 🔥
Thank you thank you thank you! I try to explain this to people all the time. If she wasn’t talented they wouldn’t have signed her to begin with and given her such high budget compared to others at the time .
But if she fakes a baby voice, how do you explain that she still has a baby voice even when she speaks? I can't imagine somebody who pretends his voice😂
Venius S. well, she got used to it to the point that she speaks like a child
she's been doing this since always, i guess now it's easier to her to "fake" her tone than talk at her natural range since it's what she's been doing since she was a teenager
Many transgender girls sometimes do the same thing. I heard the majority of them do it unconscious, even when they are talking. Having that said, I LOVE the trans community and luckily, most of them feel like they do not need to have a femme fatale voice to feel validated as women 👏
she doesn't have a baby voice when she speaks lol... she has a "bright" voice but it's far from being her singing one
'Bright' voices are much easier to hear over an instrumental in a mix. I work in studios, record singers, and write. It's often preferred as it's easier to go down when needed most of the time. Also it's not fake. that has no meaning. When she sings in that key, that's how she sounds and so happens a lot of people prefer it. I can take either. Actually hearing her sing lower is also exciting to see. Sometimes it's the song. It would be interesting to hear her sing baby one more time just a little lower, in another key for fun. Maybe 3 to 5 notes down, and it would need to be remixed. But the original is the original and wouldn't want to lose that. It's history. Except then people would attack it saying she had to put it lower. Also something people don't seem to notice is that she often descends down to lower notes in her songs and can easily be heard on CD or whatever media, but they tend to not notice. She has an almost 'growly' sound. Like in Toxic, one second she's fairly low, like "oh baby can't you see, I'm calling, a guy like you, should wear a warning, it's dangerous..". Then next then you know she's way up the scale singing higher notes, ".. can't come down.. my head's spinning all around" is then sung fairly high. Yet people again, don't notice these transitions. They just repeat what they see and sometimes I think they are not truly listening. People like to talk about it, and they get so picky, omg :D
there is something different in your reactions than the others that's why i love this channel
PLEASE REACT TO CHARLIE PUTH OR BURNO MARS
Thank you for having our queens back 🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 ❤️❤️
Do Kelly Clarkson‘s amazing vocals!
Omg .. I was literally thinking of leaving a comment on your previous videos the other day to do this video!! 😂
Please react to the Eurovision song contest!!!!!
I love her! I asked for this video!
Please react to Pinks best live vocals
For real though!
She's one of the best performers of all time. Her team makes her create these poppy songs but that's definitely not her vibe. She's said numerous times she hasn't had creative control over anything in a long time but now she's finally getting it all back! Can't wait for her new album 💙💙💙💙
