That, I can't agree with more. If Britney was in control, her albums would have had a different type of music and songs. Her image would have been what she wanted, and not what was manufactured for her.
@Fabian; Although I understand your sentiment, I strongly believe the biggest culprits are the parents. Her father was a nightmare then, and continues his abuse even now - 38.5 years after this Star Search appearance... *Which** BTW; her answer to “Why don’t you have a boyfriend?” was her allowing a glimpse through the window of her life then, as well as a prolific statement regarding the continuing bullshit she endures to this day. Daddy was already a full time emotional and mentally abusive drunk as well as a womanizing prick well before this Star Search competition. He would leave for days on end, offering no rational excuse - but when you grow up in a town of only 2K, the neighbors have more insight into your problems than you do, so her mother was well aware of his “indiscriminate dicky dunking” habits. The last I heard, he is still managing to have total control of her assets due to a “temporary” conservatorship giving him full control over 10 years ago. Yes, she was in turmoil then. To her; it felt as if her life had spun out of control all at once. There’s no question she needed professional and *compassionate* treatment to assist and guide her back to mental and physical health. However, that conservatorship should have been delegated to and controlled by someone with **her** best interests at heart. Her father has the moral character of a slug, and for him - it was about attaining control of her money... he has no interest in seeing her healthy - especially if it leads to him not being in the prime seat to embezzle from her accounts. I truly feel badly for her.
@@jgg5812 She's a human being who, let's face it, was paid to act bitchy. And why does everyone care about how she cheated when he, himself won't even directly confirm it.
@@punkrockbenny Well, accept getting paid to bully other people makes it even worse imo. And she seemed very comfortable on that role, btw... And girl please...we all know what happened between Justin and Britney, let's not play dumb.
@@jgg5812 I'm just saying it's weird to be butt hurt over something that happened like a decade ago when the person who was cheated on doesn't seem to care.
@@jamielehman4934 they certainly can 😂 mine sounds completely different now I used to be able to sing and now can’t hit a note. I actually had to go to a specialist about it! Just because it hasn’t happened to someone you know, doesn’t mean it can’t happen.
Can we just notice when the host asked her he went straight to "you've got pretty eyes, you have a boyfriend?" Hollywood celebrity culture is really tragic
Chattingesque not really. I just don’t see the issue with letting the first question be about her talent. Not about her love life which has no context seeing as she’s a child.
aww, I love Britney's reaction when she was eliminated, even tho she was a child, she knew how to handle this situation, she was so cool as a child, and so well educated!
It’s unbelievable how she had that crazy adult voice when she was a child, and seeing her today as an adult having such a baby voice!!!! Show business secrets .....
At the age of TEN?? she could sing that powerfully? amazing! but i feel so shocked hearing this, my whole life I thought she had a high pitched tiny and more like breathy voice. i didnt know she has such a powerful voice and from these comments i’m realizing such terrible things the music industry has done to this woman. Wow so terrifying
I think her first album showed some of it. But then it got breathier and breathier. But she also did it to herself. The partying, smoking and drinking and not keeping at her music meant she can't do what she could do with no damage and a lot of practice
As soon as Baby One More Time took off, the studios had her lip syncing. They sexed her up and trotted her out and didn't give a crap about her voice. As a result, she lost her voice. If you don't use it, you lose it. Throw in cigarettes to stay thin, drinking and partying, and her voice is shot. She is truly the ultimate victim of stage parents and a predatory music industry and it's heartbreaking. I will always root for Britney, no matter how many times she spins around her living room.
@@amandad5208 That's not how your voice works. The DNA is still there. And she sung live up until her third album. But then she got into smoking and partying and such- which does kill your voice. But she wanted to be famous. She said in her first boo that she was the driving force and the one who wanted the record deal and who got to pick her projects and put in the idea for the Baby One More TIme video. The narrative she is spinning now is very different to the original one and seems to be a play for sypathy.
She explained in an interview that she had developed that "easier" singing style (together with a voice coach) to be able to focus more on the dancing part of her live show.
Okay don't you think it's crazy like almost every BIG pop star who came on here lost??? Like Beyoncé and Britney and more and the winners aren't even remembered.
Sam Harris the adult vocalist champion their first season in 1983 had a successful career with Motown records. He released 9 albums not sure how many were by Motown and they sold millions of records. He also preformed at Carnagie Hall in New York, also in L.A. and in London, also he appeared in 3 feature films and he was a cocreater for TV series Down to earth 1984-1988 which ran for 104 episodes, regular on The class 2006-2007, and appeared on many other shows.
i dont think its totally gone. she uses it in perfume & some songs on glory especially liar. she used it when she sang lets give them something 2 talk about in vegas & happy birthday 2 her friend jacob in singapore too
Sexism! It's so sad that the host asked Britney about kinda love life and he next asked a boy where he is from. Why because she is a girl and that's "girly stuff" to ask? Like, do you see this? Disgusting.
That... was really gross. And why do people assume adolescents have a partner? It’s also really gross that he nominated himself as a boyfriend, even if it was a joke.
I'm 30 and I still get asked whether I have a boyfriend, husband or kids, right after meeting a new person. It was like this my whole life minus the questions about husband and kids. And throughout my life, I stayed single and child-free to focus on my goals. We encourage men to take their time, so they can focus on their goals, while we push girls and woman to one direction only.
I just bought Britney’s memoir. As I read, I am revisiting on YT these moments. Such a voice! Just started the book and I already know that a lot of what has been thrown out about Britney, well, I am appreciating hearing her story. ❤
I'm doing exactly the same😅 I've just put the book down on My lap to quickly watch random yt clips of her as a kid, hope you're enjoying the book so far😌
@@amarijackson9270 each performer has their own style. Most singers starting out sound similar to other singers. For instance Ariana Grande sounded a little like Maria Cary. That style makes them unique.
Britney is still able to sing this way, but there is this saying "Hollywood kills talent" and Britney is a victim of this. Many times it has been said by her and her team that her label won't let her do music that shows her vocal ability. Her label wants her to make music that is "pop-like" and music to dance to, not to show her vocal ability. If you listen to her music aside from her singles, you can still hear this talent and voice.
+Gabriela Ramirez yaas, someone finally said it. People judge Britney's vocal ability for her singles which are intended to be dance and commercial hits, but if you look a bit deeper in her albums and even in her non-released tracks or demos you can still listen to this Britney
thanks for clearing that up, she's a very talented lady, and I really love her voice, she still sound like a young child when she's singing I'm like" oh my God, is she really 34?" we will never find someone else like Britney spears
She was trained as a professional performer since she was a baby. She won several beauty pageants at that age as well…and that’s how she was paying the bills of the family….😢
pageants don't make money and her mother actually pulled her out of them because she didn't like the message they were sending her kid. The real story was that Britney really wanted dance lessons and so their parents would do whatever it took to pay for them, even if it mean not paying the phone bill. She and her mother wrote a book together when she was about 18 and she basically said how much she wanted to be famous and that she was driving everything.
Britney Spears can still sing. Listen to Passenger, Perfume, or Brightest Morning Star on her new album. Her voice has matured a lot over the past few years
Billy Gilman was more successful when he was young, Charlotte Church also started young although not as young as Billy Gilman, but she had a more successful adult career than Billy Gilman.
As a professional, she sang higher than she's singing in this video at age 10. That suggests that singing outside of her natural range may have hurt her voice. Maybe nobody else here remembers Bo Bice, but he did really well on one of those singing competition shows with his baritone voice. Then, he came out with an album, and it flopped. I've always suspected that happened partly because most of the songs on it were Bon Jovi rejects (literally) sung in the tenor range, making him sound like a poor imitation of Jon Bon Jovi (an actual tenor). Who decided a gifted baritone should sing tenor on 80% of his debut album? Was it the same idiot who decided alto Britney Spears had to sing everything soprano? It's not like there are no examples of baritones and altos having success in popular music.
She’s amazing Horrible what the music industry has done to her voice 💔 Why are all these host creepy old men “well I’m not mean, what about me?” SHES A CHILD
Psychotic_Karlin if she got signed 2 a different label they probably wouldve let her use her real voice. not the whole music industry in general messed up her voice, her label jive did
@@popsingerstar no its is that messed up. And it is not just about the voice but all the abuse and inappopriate thing that she faced it in yound age. She released One More Time at the age of 17 and perform ! Like it is so messed up with many ways.
Her low register very unique deep soulful solid and mature.... Amazing!!.. Acoustic album with this voice in her future maybe?? it's gonna BOOM! for all her haters ;)
Let’s have the big old man ask the little girl *who just nailed an amazing performance * if she has a boyfriend?! Wtf?? But ask the boy about growing up on a farm.
A little Angel with a big voice. And so funny when Britney says boys are mean, she might still agree with this given her unlucky relationships with douches n cheats like K Fed. Love you Britney, hope you find a guy. I'm single right now lol
Notice how in the beginning of her career shows like mad tv had skits about how Timberlake sounded like a girl, and she sounded like a boy because of her lower register deep singing. Sadly music didn't go in that direction and all her biggest hits like Toxic don't suit her natural voice at all. Doesn't help that she smokes and most likely hasn't taken care of her voice.
If only he knew how successful that little girl would become when he said "Good luck dear" at the end. Now I wanna go watch her music video for the song Lucky
Her love life? Seriously? He was just joking around with her to make her feel comfortable and talkative. Also he referred that question to her singing, it was like saying “the boys at your school must be loving you with such a great voice..“
It was inappopriate, don't normalized it!! Especially after we learned that there are many child prédators in this industry who abused young people for decades. It is not okay to ask minors these questions.And it gives the idea of childeren should be involved sexual/romantic things as he said "Why not" and "What about me?" Was totally Disgusting🤢.
And so it begins. “You have pretty eyes, you have a boyfriend?” “How about me?” Nothing about her performance or her voice. Then the boy gets “I hear you’re from..” no comments about his looks. Sexism at its most blatant. Fucking ridiculous.
Brittney was just so stinking cute .. she was like “ what the hell is going on here with these stupid inappropriate questions and this weird kid speaking with this high pitched country voice next to me.” Lol🤣😂
That man totally creeped her out by asking "What about me?" You could see the surprise in her voice. She was very tactful. What does "That depends" mean and how would a creepy old man receive that? Does that mean, "Oh, well if I molest this kid, I can get her a leg up?" Did this sort of thing happen to her? It honeslty disturbs me.
When he said "You mean all boys? I'm not mean how about me?", I could see in her eyes how uncomfortable he made her. Sad that kids get out into strange situations like this.
From my childhood I remember everybody said Cristina voice is better, but they never gave a chance for Britney to show what she can do. But even with baby voice she was number one ❤
No. X Tina’s voice has more talent than ANY other female, more than Gaga even, more than Kelly Clarkson, more than P!nk. She’s better than Britney and way more. She is unmatched in her era. And I say that as a huge Gaga fan
I can't believe he talked to her like that. He was old enough to be her grandpa. It breaks my heart knowing she was so weirded out by the conversation. I don't think he really meant anything. But it was still creepy.
Hollywood really is so messed up. They asked 10 year old Brit if she had a boyfriend and then asked the same aged boy if he grew up in a farm smh 😒 already sexualizing Brit at 10 with that stupid hetero ass question. But the little boy gets a dignified question about owning a farm lmao tf
Britney Spears was sharp and intelligent even at that innocent little age. You could tell she didn’t fall for the old creeps bullshit about “hey am I mean?” 😬🙄
Babyyyy❤❤❤❤ so first of all, at age of 10 she was asked about having a boyfriend… which went on in her 18s, 20s, 30s, 40s why the hell is everyone so concerned with her boyfriend. And ewww he asks what about me. Also how genuinely happy she was still smiling and hugging the winner. God bless her kind soul❤
So this old man . When he talk to the ten years old girl he say 'you have pretty eyes, why dont you have a boyfriend' and when he talk to the boy he say 'you grew up in a farm tell me about that' .. as usual sexualising girls even since very early age .. but in movies and novels they view female characters as the ones who always want to have sex or romantic relationship, while in reality (like this old man) men always are the ones who bring these love relationships or sex relationships stuff when a female appears infront of them .. the old man also says 'how about me' like saying do i have the opportunity to be your boyfriend im not a mean boy
Am I the only person on here that watched the whole video and noticed 70 yr old Ed McMahon shooting his shot at a 10 year old Britney Spears on national tv? Super creepy
If Britney ever gets to, and more importantly WANTS to return to music, I hope we get to hear this Britney, she deserves to get her credit for this beautiful voice
I think she cant sing like this again due to the damage to her voice plus she's aging. But I rlly hope she can get the credit she deserve 1 day and shock everyone with her real voice!
@@blissinchains Although her baby voice was invented by producer max martin I think it was the record label's ideal to change her voice to something that would sell.
I think it's disgusting that all he could ask her was she had a boyfriend, Like WTF she's 10....... But then literally simply says to the boy that he grew up on a farm 🤨🙄 just wow
All these years I thought Britney couldn’t sing and the whole time she has a voice on Christina Aguilera level WOW hopefully once she is freed she’ll be able to sing in her original voice this was beautiful
They destroyed her voice to fit into what they wanted to make her! Her parents basically handed her over to Larry...she was 14 when she got a record deal.
She doesn't have that voice or musicality anymore. I saw a clip of her singing live at a show and it was terrible. I also met a guy who worked on a recording with her and he said even with the autocorrect they were struggling to get it in tune.
The question was inappopriate, don't normalized it!! Especially after we learned that there are many child prédators in this industry who abused young people for decades. It is not okay to ask minors these questions.And it gives the idea of childeren should be involved sexual/romantic things as he said "Why not" and "What about me?" Was totally Disgusting🤢.
And It is because you got asked this question when you were young doesnt make it okay!! This is fucked up with so many ways and i am sorry if you faced this situation too, but stop normalizing this!
When she answered why she doesn’t have a bf because “they’re mean”... at that time it’s because she witnessed how his “father” is assaulting his mother.
he also picked a better song to show off his voice. But Britney had chosen I Don't Care perfectly in the previous challenge and she had gotten the exact same note so I don't know what she should've done here lol
Ironic she sings the Judd's song and now Naomi Judd is gone by suicide and Britney has gone through her own challenges of depression. I am so heartbroken over Naomi. She should still be here.
She was so professional and sweeet to the boy that won. She really seems like she always cared about other people and honoured the win that aomeone got cause she knkws hownhard thw work is. look hownshe authentically patsnhis back. That makes me sort of sad.
