It's a needlessly noisy rendering that is so jarringly at odds with the context of the source material — this is a song about isolation! Certainly it calls for a more refined, nearly minimalist, interpretation. Both the original (which should also be avoided) and the DNA remix capture a certain austerity that isn't present here, but is desperately needed.
But nothing negative can be said about Britney's contribution. She is perfectly adequate. QUEEN!  |
I do agree partly. I would say the instumental is quite ace, the male voice is annoying. For Britney, you talked about austerity and isolation, it would work so much more for the song if they would use her some kind of innocent pure voice mixed with the future sound.
Such disharmony would highlight the serious undertones in the song much more.
I'm not a musician but I would say music works both ways, harmony and disharmony. you pair a processed male voice in a synthetic sound and you have a perfect harmony like the Lucky song of Daft Punk or you pair a female pure voice with a synthetic sound and you would have a disharmony that like our ears, too, it doesn't work the other way.
I really don't know what the producers some time are thinking. I assume they are sitting in their million dollar studio, mixing the music and it sounds great there and maybe it sounds great in a club, too but most definitely we won't hear the song much in the radio.
I don't want any other version at my library!
