I wouldn't say that Mariah beating Madonna's record means nothing at all; in fact, it means quite a lot...

it doesn't mean anything. It's just numbers. It's all marketing and strategy schemes, on both sides. What does it mean precisely?
if you take a step back and look at the two of them individually, you don't see records. You don't see #1's. You don't see top 10's. You don't see "I'm better than you are".
you see 2 legendary divas, who in reality, aren't even competing against each other. It's all fanbased. And it's retarded.
they are both awesome, and regardless of who holds what record or not, BOTH will be recognized for their WORK, not for their Billboard chart placement.
at the end of the day, i could give a rat's ass whether Always Be My Baby peaked at #2, or Cherish or Frozen peaked at #2, cuz in the end, they just happened to be my favorites, and they will go down as the artist's best work.

I don't like Britney's voice on it. She sounds sick

They needed to work on Britney's voice for a little longer. But I like it, like it

I like but yes it doesn't sound like Britney or her usual studio voice. Maybe turn up the vocals more?

LMAO Britney sounds like she has a cold in her chorus. That said, once we get the HQ of this... I'm gonna be all over it - and yes. Rihanna's voice is clearer much stronger than Brit's.

Late but your posts are amazing spree As for that remix... doesn't do anything at all for me. Brit's vocals sound so horrible and unnecessary basically - hopefully there'll be a better version out eventually. Not sure what this will do for the song. If a HQ is put out and to iTunes with a little promotion, I don't think it'll propel this above Katy on H100. However, if there's a music video and/or American Idol performance, that is massive promotion, it's probably likely to make it to the top there. Disappointed, in short.

Her verse is great, but the rest literally sounds like someone's holding her nose. Bizarre.

I'm hoping this is not the final version. It can't be it sounds so unfinished. They need to pitch correct or do some studio magic on Brits verse

While Rihanna still sounds flawless on the track, Britney disguises her voice and sounds like she gave this no effort, tbh. If she sounded just a tad like she does on her last two singles it could've been perfect.

To me it just sounded like Britney tried to sing the chorus the Rihanna way but her voice wasnt strong enough.

Britney sounds like Britney always does... what were people expecting from her?
So if this version outsells the original on i-tunes the week it comes out, will the credits on the Hot 100 change to Rihanna and Britney?

not bad after a couple listens. Britneys voice suits the track but the vocal production is lacking a bit.

I heard it on the radio this morning and I pretty much agree with you guys. Britney sounds off... But I love how she sounds on 'I like' parts in the opening and when she sings 'SSS and MMM' The two sound pretty flawless tbh when they are singing together though.

Really? Janet Jackson and Heavy D, Janet Jackson and MC Lyte...lets start with those remixes...The ODB Puff Daddy remix of Fantasy was released at the same time as the original in 1995 right after the Janet Jackson Runaway remix with Coolio. Thank you. Didn't Jody Whatley also remix off her second album? I know she did Friends with Eric B and Rakim. People act as if Mariah either invented the remix or was the first major pop star to team up with a rapper. I just read Britney & Rih (Brihanna, btw) will be performing this on Idol. I really can't see it happening, but I didn't think the duet would happen in the first place, soo... If this is true, IDJ should issue me a check because I've been suggesting this all along! I shouldn't have said that Mariah started it, but she was one of the first if not the first, to begin remixing heavily and getting #1s. Not saying those songs would not have gotten #1 has she not remixed them. Remixes are suppose to rejuvenate interest in the single and promote single sales since they are not on the album, so it is obvious that IDJ want that #1 for Rihanna and if I recall, most remixes in the 90s didn't always come out with the original like E.T. did. The original would get play for a couple of months, and the the remix would come out. Same pattern IDJ is following. I just listened to the remix. I like, but don't love it. As most everyone else has said, Brit's part needs more tweaking. If they make a video though, I can definitely see this getting S&M #1.

Britney sounds like Britney always does... what were people expecting from her? Hmm, no. She sounds A LOT better in FF tracks. This sounds like a demo, or maybe she was sick? Anyway, waiting for the HQ version.
