Princess of Pop covers the Queen

Selena Gomez Covers Britney's "...Baby One More Time" at UNICEF Charity Concert in NYC



oh BOW, it's a really good cover TBH, the vocals are stellar. Almost as immaculate as the original.

Now I have to go listen to JT's version to cleanse myself of this version. She didn't sound too horrible, but no.

Nobody sounds good doing Britney songs, even if they have good voices. They just never live up to the original.

So you actually listened to this video and still tried to convince us the vocals are "stellar?"


Oh.
x_brittacular 20th-Jan-2013 05:50 am (UTC)
the vocals are stellar.

Lies. I made it to 0:04.

natalitabonita 20th-Jan-2013 08:05 am (UTC)

kanyesus 20th-Jan-2013 06:12 am (UTC)
i seriously don't get the hype for her. she is a mediocre actress and her singing.......
katyperry 20th-Jan-2013 06:15 am (UTC)
mama, let's not
kanyesus 20th-Jan-2013 06:17 am (UTC)
shahoney 20th-Jan-2013 09:35 am (UTC)
I agree. Her stans are delusional.
vampireweekend 20th-Jan-2013 06:13 am (UTC)
bow at this princess covering the QUEEN
_scarlett_icons 20th-Jan-2013 06:14 am (UTC)
lol Britney stans are so cute. Anyone with a little bit of talent can do a Britney cover, and probably sound better than the original. It's always hard to live up to someone that people worship blindly (or deafly).

And hey, at least Selena doesn't sound like a goat.



itskimbitches 20th-Jan-2013 06:24 am (UTC)
britney was created to be a teenage idol. she didn't have much talent but she delivered in performances in the beginning. now ppl expect so much when she didn't bring much to begin with and she knows that. if you're seriously trying to put her on a pedestal above christina, madonna and even gaga then you need to watch her performances from the 90s to now chronologically.
insomniachobs 20th-Jan-2013 12:42 pm (UTC)
Except they never do sound better than the original. You don't have to like Britney's voice, but she brings a delivery to the songs that people who cover them don't - even ones with more technical ability. Most Britney covers I hear are pretty lackluster.

(And I say this as somebody who frequently likes covers as much or even better than originals).
78ml 20th-Jan-2013 04:18 pm (UTC)
welp

You sort of tried
crashh_world 20th-Jan-2013 05:33 pm (UTC)
It's not about how good her voice is technically. It's the tone of her voice that no one can really match that people love about Britney songs.
disorient_me 20th-Jan-2013 06:16 am (UTC)
I was actually *just* listening to the original on Pandora an hour ago. Selena's cover is pretty good, though--I always forget she has such a nice voice.
