Hm, they aren't the complete stems. That makes me feel somewhat better. Apparently, Britney says "bikini" correctly on the lead vocal track. High notes are Myah Marie, the bridge is almost entirely Myah. They also mastered out a lot of really cool sounding synth lines, but I get that they were trying to put the focus on that acid line throughout.

We've kind of known this for a while now, but in a post Femme Fatale world, Myah Marie's talents as a Britney dupe are put to good work on a lot of her albums. Her vocals were absolutely abused on 'Passenger' for example-- that high note before the second chorus is not Britney, lol. Britney is singing on the bridge, but all of the higher registers going on that sound like her aren't her. You can hear it better in the stems. As for the "Bring it OOOONN, Ring the ALAAARRM" etc., when she goes into the high notes is when Myah's voice comes in.

Theres no song thats completely not Britney. For this record for some reason they seeemed to love to layer Britney and Myahs vocals together or on some parts, just use Myah vocals. It makes no sense.

Britney probably couldn't hit the note or accomplish what they were going for, so instead of taking the time to rework her voice, they took the easy quick route and spliced in Myah's. They sound very similar anyway when masked behind the instrumentals. They probably wouldn't have this problem if they'd let Britney sing in her lower register-- never got the recent aversion to that. And yeah, I never said that Britney wasn't singing on these songs. I just said that Myah's vocals are heavily used. Britney is singing on all of her songs... it just may not be all her.

She's been a straight studio singer for over a decade now IMO. Every time I bring that up, you guys just point me to old @ss vids where she didn't sound that good to begin with, or poor quality "You Outta Know" vids where she doesn't sound that impressive. Or "Happy Birthday" on X-Factor, which was AWFUL.
It's like people are so happy that she's singing live, they fail to acknowledge she sounds like crap.

Ok first of all, nobody gives a fuck about your bitter ass coming in here to say I told you so. Second, LMFAO at you coming for a 10 second clip of her singing Happy Birthday to LA Reid. The fuck does that have to do with anything?

Because the last time I commented on her voice being shot on here, I was told I should listen to her "ICONIC" rendition of "Happy Birthday" to hear that she could still sing.

As much as I LOVE Britney, even I can admit that she has never been more than an average singer.

...are these raw, Myah-less vocals that are leaking legit? Because if so, she has legit lost her voice. :/ Are you talking about the "Alien" vocals? There are some claiming that its purposely altered to purposely sound bad. Something does sound off about those vocals. I'm not saying that it's true but it doesn't sound too far-fetched considering that it has happened to other artists. That said, I also think it's completely plausible that those are her vocals. It's painfully obvious that Britney phoned it in on this album so I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't warm up or her vocals or spent time toying around with her vocals to get the ideal sound. In an interview, will.i.am said that Britney basically was only in the studio for a specified amount of time and didn't give any more time than she had planned to. He tried to spin it as her having this incredible work ethic and getting down to business but I honestly wouldn't even be surprised if it was actually a case of Britney only putting in the bare minimum and expecting everyone else to make do with whatever scraps she gave them. I have to say, I starting to kind of feel a bit sorry for will.i.am. It's obvious at this point he cared more for the album than Britney or anyone else on her team. I still think he does deserve a lot of blame for how BJ turned out but he clearly had very little to work with and basically had to patch up a lot of things.

That track with just the lead vocal track for Work Bitch is confusing...she is singing the high notes there, but is that Myah? How do we know that for sure? Also, why are the vocals on the second verse like half a second behind?
As for the Alien vocals, not sure what to think. On one hand, it does sound like it could easily have been altered to make her sound bad, but on the other, I don't think it would be all that surprising if they are real. As much as I love the woman and will (and have) go down swinging for her, it's a bit suspect that she isn't even singing the ballads live/semi-live in the Vegas show.
On a happier note, I was FINALLY able to order the program from her online store for the Vegas show to add to my tour book collection. :)

This is juicy. Insider on Popjustice spills details on why Britney Jean was the way it was.
""I filmed will.i.am's scrapped MTV special. He's credited as executive producer because he organised the writing and recording of half the final tracklist, and about 30 other songs that didn't make it because they were too personal and involving. It was decided Britney wasn't going to promote the album, so a lot of tracks reverted back to their producers/other artists, e.g. Leah McFall's new song, Cheryl's next single. Britney did co-wrote every track she's credited on. My interviewer bluntly asked if it was "a case of change a word, take a third", and will snapped back she wrote on almost everything."
"Whilst will.i.am didn't explain any of this, I think the logic is Britney Jean had to come in at a set cost, otherwise you have an expensive album that won't make a profit because there is no proper promotion planned and it's expected to shift a limited quantity. That means either producers accept less £££ for tracks, or they take them back.
will.i.am doesn't do stuff for the money, so I imagine he was okay with getting paid peanuts or probably nothing at all, with the guarantee his main song on the album Work Bitch was a single. Who knows? Same for David Guetta. But other producers like Dr Luke probably less likely to agree to that, especially when they know none of their music is ever going to be released as a single or even performed live.
Dr Luke would make more money turning his demo for Britney into a G.R.L or Bonnie McKee single, even with middle-of-the-road success, just due to the songwriting credits and it being a single."" Basically what I said from the beginning. Album wasn't that personal after all, she didn't want to promote it over Vegas, it was recorded for the sake of recording something. Sigh. I really just can't deal with this era. That track with just the lead vocal track for Work Bitch is confusing...she is singing the high notes there, but is that Myah? How do we know that for sure? Also, why are the vocals on the second verse like half a second behind? There's something really off about the 'Work Bitch' lead stems that leaked, because she's even saying some words differently in it than in the final song. I'm almost positive the high notes aren't her though. Something just sounds, you know, wrong about them.

Putting this in a separate post. She's rumored to be recording a song called 'All the Way' for the Search Party soundtrack. Due for release this Fall. Produced by Stargate, and released under Universal.

So basically BJ was supposed to be a completely different album that would have actually been closer the vision we were promised but most of those songs were sent back to the producers b/c she couldn't bother to promote them? Assuming I'm reading that right (and that the insider is legitimate), wow, what a slap in the face to fans. I can't believe that fans were denied a potentially better album b/c Britney couldn't even bother to promote. And now I definitely feel sorry for will.i.am. It's clear he did put a lot of work into this album and most of his plans were scrapped b/c Britney was so apathetic towards her most "personal" album ever.

I don't think that's the right way to look at it. I think her team is to blame for the false pretenses-- she herself was always going to prioritize Vegas. What I got out off it was that the album was, essentially, a mediocre effort by design. You're probably not wrong to way will got a bad rep unfairly for the project, and that's likely why it sounds like "his" project more than Britney's even with her writing intact. He kind of had to pull together a lot of scraps to actually make it.
They really should have held off on the release until after Vegas and just had her do what Beyoncé did-- drop a new song in a couple shows here and there, tease clips of new material, then come back strong with a better album she was prepared to promote.

Is she prepared to promote future albums though? I feel like this is the new norm (it's been a consistent pattern of less and less since a Circus).

Probably not, no; but at the very least the album could go beyond 2 singles and have a proper tour dedicated to its release. Circus was necessary promo or not for her career, and her label and team knew it. She got Luke and Max on Femme Fatale for almost nothing because they got royalties from the record as executive producers.
It's not a guarantee that we'll get mediocre material for whatever albums she has left in her, but rather she'll have to choose her producers carefully-- be it those who are personally inclined to work with her, or little known, "underground" producers who wouldn't expect a particularly large paycheck. There's also the possibility that she could fund a lot of the album herself, but that's a matter of how much she cares about the artistry anymore. Likely, not a lot.

Ugh I just want a new, better era to wash out the bad taste this one left in my mouth, but I'm not holding my breath. I would love the rumor Kunt posted to be true, because even if she dropped one hot soundtrack song (NOT for The Smurfs), I would be okay. I just want something. I'm not used to being over a Britney album six months after it came out.
When people talk about the lack of promo for the album, I honestly never expected any more promo than what we got. I just expected a better final product. She didn't do jack-shit for Femme Fatale, but the final product was hot, and we got three radio hits and four music videos out of it.
