Britney Spears - Baby one more time (Live @ Top of the Pops 1999)

[@jfh-dr2xu]

Guys. Its either impressive choreography or live singing. You aren't going to get both. She actually has to focus to achieve the way she was forced to sing. She had to strain to sound like that. That's why her natural voice came out a few times during this.

[@jeframp3805]

I would say so in her case because its not her actaully natural voice. Someone like Kate bush singing in her natural range can do both - tour of live. Grace Jones Huala hooping while singing live etc. Britney is doing a fair bit of dancing here though to be fair not as much as always but a decent amount. Its more the case of focusing on the voice so much.

Usher’s got it

[@randallagbayani7466]

Yea her record label Jive Records and her Manager and the people that produced her material along with marketing her as a brand...totally forced her to change her regular singing voice range and high pitch her voice up a notch with singing and speaking voice so it sounds like she's younger and to give off the impression that she's a sweet little good girl..with the sex appeal in her image and dance moves at the same time.. it's sad to know that she was told to change her normal voice you can hear it when she sings on the record studio album but yes sometime s when she had to do the live performances her natural deeper singing range would slip out here and there n take notice when she did interview s her speaking voice started to sound in unnatural from higher to low regular voice n she went back n forth doing both .. it also shows even up till recent years in some of her noted videos that she posted during her cry for help while dancing and speaking she'd oddly enough slip right back to her high pitchy teeny bopper 17 year old self again like she appeared back in 1999..it's very similar in comparison to Michael Jackson s singing and speaking voice .. cause he also altered his voice higher throughout the many years of his career n switched to his regular deeper mature sounding voice and when he had to do interview s or speak most of the time he put on the M.J image persona to speaking in his high er tone soft spoken at times to be the m j that most people think of as the brand M J..

I miss the old Britney, she was so talented

[@PandaxGX]

She is still talented, Unfortunately, the industry caused insecurity on huge stages thanks to the conservatorship and the horrible time it had for 13 years...

[@Inkeyso]

Love her singing here. Absolute respect for Britney Spears total icon of the nouites

[@aleahlrb]

I'm rediscovering Britney after years of sleeping on her, and hearing her real singing voice seeping through in this performance, I'm pretty sure she would've been a childhood crush of mine if she sang with it a lot more.

[@dollhausent7750]

2:22 is SO good, I love when she sings her natural voice

Because she never does sing live. That’s why I personally wouldn’t pay to see her in concert. But i do Love Britney. Not a hater.

@@Jenna304 she has a very low pitch voice compared to that "iconic" fake baby high pitch voice ,if you see her singing from mickey mouse club her original voice's really powerfull .so faking that baby voice is really hard and has ruined her vocal chords .so she didn't sing live But still if you look at her concerts she literally dances such a hard choreo and gives her best .and indeed you can't dance ,sing and breathe at the same time. #freebritney

[@simankim]

i grew up during her time, and i remember that people used to hate on her for not doing live vocals when it's clear that she was. Her vocal here is pretty much what you hear on her album and people relentlessly hated on her. She was treated so badly. Im glad the newer generation now appreciates her more. (Had to edit this because after listening to this it's even better than her album version).

[@reeya1844]

The one and motherfuckin' only BRITNEY SPEARS ! International music superstar , defination of 00s pop culture , literally influenced the revival of teen pop during the late 1990s ( for which she is referred to the "Princess of pop " , influenced the fashion and ET-FUCKING CETERA HONEY !!!! she paved the way for soooo many artists and set a standard of production quality ( both music and visual ) that so many female artists till this date are trying to live up to . As far as commerce and art goes it's Brit who created the BLUEPRINT BUSSINESS MODEL for how to develop a market and sell a female pop star . She is the pinnacle of what it means to be a popstar . And never ever once used her platform to be anything other than positive , pleasent and inclusive . I cannot think of anyother female artist who has exemplified in the ways that she have . She a QUEEN !!! #Freebritney

i wish she got to sing more song that were right for her voice then pop bubble gum bullshit that doesn't even sound like her. like was she just a robot face to sell records and we will manipulate her voice till it sounds nothing like her real one? yes. at least she is happy and rich with a good life.

I like this performance but Britney’s dancing was really stiff back then. She improved so much. I wish they’d let her sing in her real voice because it sounds soooo good whenever she does. 🌸

[@lt6072]

her dancing was fantastic, she was just holding back in this particular performance due to her live vocals

[@joeaaron1]

She wasnt stiff its more like the dancing style back then

[@UltravioletSlave]

She was stiff here because she was singing LIVE.

[@dolphinriah6590]

the bomt video and the rehearsals for the video show how capable her dancing was this era, but this performance she was more focused on vocals

[@ashdog236]

She’s standing still in that position to keep her diaphragm in check to sing live, how is that hard to understand? You can’t have both, even Beyoncé does one or the other and never at the same time or uses playback and you all die for her 🤫

[@jasonsobotka3657]

Quando Giulio Mucciacito andava in piscina

[@LeBlondReroots]

This is why Britney lip syncs, they got her to sing in a unnatural way, she could do in the studio but in live performances it was a difficult for her to keep it going and she would swap in between voices as the choreographies became more elaborate, it became easier to be a performer rather than a singer, I feel for her they took everything away from her including her real voice, that must've been a hard to keep having to please so many people at once and losing herself in the process.

Michele Zaslavsky Most of the early BOMT performances were this way when she sang live. She was an incredible dancer back then, but she had to hold back in early performances-plus she injured her knee filming the Sometimes video.

[@tiffanystidham5329]

The only performer I'll give a pass for lip syncing. I'd much rather watch her dance than hear her Live singing.
