If Rih had released WHYB as the lead single rather than going with generic, super safe WFL I'd have respected her more. It's better in every single way. The video, the semi-decent live vocals.
you tried but WFL is iconic, the video is copied by Swift and Katy.
That was in 99 when there was still a thread of tangible vocal talent present withing Britney's pharynx, now that's ALL gone. It would sound dreadful now.
NO. WFL >>> WHYB in every way possible.Especially since she has started adding ad libs and such to it.
The stripped down version of WFL is lovely, but the standard version is disgusting live. Her over reliance on backing tracks is pitiful. And the ending note
If Rih did an acoustic version of WHYB along the lines of this....
...obviously less vocally impressive but in the same vein..it would be perfection.
