I saw Britney in Manchester U.K. for the Circus tour 2009 and Gaga wrote the song to be performed during circus I love both artists and both versions. What I can tell you is Britney was the most amazing dancer outside of Tina Turner I have witnessed. I also agree with all the comments that’s this song fits Britney’s vocals incredibly and I am sure it would been a huge hit as it was for Gaga. Love you Britney x
i think this really couldve been britneys #1 hit if she hadnt turned it down, but funny how things turn out. i love gagas version, and will always hold britneys demo close to my heart <3
Lol it's okay tho. Because her song toxic is way more iconic than this. Lol go watch the movie Madame web 2024 they praise Britney Spears's toxic song lol
Hearing this for the first time is very interesting. This song was a massive hit and I am glad Gaga and Beyonce recorded it but I also feel like Britney has the right voice and vibe for this song as well. Would have loved to see how it would have played out if Britney had released this as a single instead of passing up on it. Would also love to see her record her own version with either Gaga or Beyonce.
Is it too late for her to reconsider re releasing this with Britney vocals? It's waaay better with a bit of Britney and I know it would of had some killer dance moves in the video.
Britney's version is intended to be darker and anxious rather than dance energy, I think. It very much fits the Blackout vibe, so I think it makes sense why she rejected it for Circus, although IMO phonography is everything she wanted and more. I think it's far better.
Lady Gaga's telephone song should have belonged to Britney, because Britney was busy touring, this song was given to Lady Gaga, who made Gaga successful, until now
Gaga and Darkchild originally wrote it for Britney, but her team rejected it at that time. By the time they wanted it back Gaga already put it on her album
