Does Britney Spears have issues with singing live?
 
Or is it her act to get up on stage and fake sing, and charge a fuckton of money. Well see for your self

Britney comes up at around 2:30. I would think an artist whos been doin this for well over 12 years now could at least sing for a 1 minute part

I would figure for someone who's been doing it for 12 years, people would have gotten over it by now and expect it.

Maybe you should start listening to music for grown-ups and you wouldn't have these concerns. ;)

She lip syncs because she can't sing worth a shit.

It wouldn't be wise to go up and sound awful if she actually did sing.

Credit to her for making it as she has with that horrible sounding voice.

If I were her lawyer, I'd say few people can sing live well and dance. I've heard her sing live a few times years ago and while it wasn't great, she could sort of pull it off. The clip above makes it seem like she's completely tone deaf. As her lawyer again, performers can't always hear themselves so that may explain it. I'm not a big fan of Britney. She can do pop and she can perform.

I never thought I'd say this but I wish she was still more popular than garbage like Lady Gaga. It's like commercial manufactured pop music is getting worse and worse when you didn't think that was even possible. I think I long for the days of N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, whatever else over this Justin Bieber shit.

That doesn't stop Katey Perry/Kesha, et al.. Most of these pop tarts sound like shit singing live.

I'm only a casual gaga fan but at least she can sing live. I've watched her simply playing the piano and singing. :)

The more accurate thread title would be "Does Britney Spears have issues singing" and the answer is yes.

Lady Gaga is far more talented and interesting than Britney Spears ever was I think, even if you don't dig her style of music. And she can actually sing without help from a machine.

Justin Bieber aside, I think commercialized pop music is better now that it ever was. It's one of the few genres that actually got better. Commercialized rock music on the other hand is absolute shit.

who? Kesha, Jonas Bros., etc are awful

every time I see Gaga I just think about Dale Bozzio and Madonna. I'd rather listen to either of them over her.

There are many out there who are still fooled and think she's singing live.

I think an even more succinct question would be "Does Britney Spears have issues?" and the answer is still "Yes".

Re: Does Britney Spears have issues with singing live?
 
Although my main music preference is metal (Overkill, Kreator, Slayer, Exodus, etc) and some female singer/songwriter types (Chantal Kreviazuk, Tori Amos, etc), there is still something about Britney Spear's music that I'm drawn to, and I'm quite amazed that she can continue to release big albums at this stage in her career. Her last two or three albums since her breakdown are as strong as anything she has put out.

I'm disappointed that she cannot figure out how to sing live, and that makes the tours she is performing kind of a joke, but she still manages to play huge arenas, so perhaps she doesn't see a need to change. I still considered taking my younger daughter to see Britney, but the nose-bleeder tickets in the 300 level were over $100, and seats in the 100 level were over $300.
