Yes Ke$ha in 2010 led the way for Britney in 1998.
Right this people
And by the way, was Britney who started all this dance revolution back then with BLACKOUT, as Rolling Stone well said:
Quote:
Musically, “Hold It Against Me” sounds a lot like what Britney was doing on her 2007 gem Blackout, perhaps the most influential pop album of the past five years
It’s funny how people underrate Brit’s impact on the way music sounds now, just because her personality gets in the way, but if you listen to an hour of pop radio today, you’ll hear an hour of people trying to top Blackout..
SO Brit started the trend, and she's keeping it up with it
You know I love you and that you are one of my favorite posters in here, but that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Britney's vocals add EVERYTHING to the song. There's a certain fragility in Britney's voice that makes it pure Pop masterpiece and I thought you would acknowledge that. There's also certain things in the song like 'hayzaay', the lovely chorus rhythm, and many things I can't verbalize, which add to how epic the song is. I really couldn't imagine Ke$ha singing it and pulling it off. It would sound good but nothing special. To say Britney adds nothing to the song is discrediting Britney as an artist. I can bet, if you play the song for anyone, they'd recognize it's Britney Spears after the 2nd line, but no one would know it's Ke$ha or Katy Perry, for instance. Britney's Pop Vocal performances are the most distinguishable in the Music Industry and they're enough to make songs smash hits.
I totally agree Bobby don't seem to know a lot about pop music and music in general when he also says "Hey, Soul Sister" and "The Only Exception" are alternative songs...

You gotta be kidding me with this thread...
Britney Spears revived the electro-pop sound back in 2007 but...
BEP and Lady Gaga were the ones that changed the face of music industry since 2009. Now almost everybody is making electro-pop
HOLD IT AGAINST ME however is something different, the vibe of the song is incredible, it's another kind of pop. Britney has took the pop music to a whole new level AGAIN!
I can agree with that! I do think they want Britney's lead single to smash though. What better way to go with one of 2010's biggest single's artist? Britney is all about fitting in, but I do not think she herself was influenced by Kesha. I just think HIAM is just generic, but I don't think she was 'influenced' by Kesha, more so by this era. All these electro songs are starting to sound the same. There is little to no diversity amongst these big acts trying to step into electro/house/dance....but that may be another topic!
Anyhow, I just think Britney is staying on the same train to play it safe. Dr. Luke is a hit maker. Even without Kesha they would have worked together, but maybe the song would have been called 'Take It Off' instead of 'Hold It Against Me.'
Not really. She has released tons of edgy stuff but never gets credit for anything (as usual).
"Me Against The Music", "Piece Of Me", "Toxic", "Everytime" & "Slave" for example were all risks for her.
"Hold It Against Me" is mainstream that's for sure but generic it is not (the soft/ethereal chorus, the dubstep part, the general crescendo instead of just showing everything at once etc). Really it feels the track has a life on it's own.
And my fave that came out in 1988 inspired you know who, with you know what, with you know when.
Well the world seems under the impression that Bionic was an attempt at competing with Lady Gaga that didn't work out. A 2008 artist influencing a 1998 artist, now that's power.

Cheers, drink to that.
Which is kind of weird since Bionic as a whole doesn't sound like anything GaGa has ever done.

The other would be that the general public is sometimes too lazy/ignorant to form its own opinion about something so its just repeat what it has been told.

That's exactly why some measure in popularity (aka sales) and critical acclaim.
And this is obviously the latter!

In my eyes, that's just delusional. And the sad thing is, some people even believe this.
So many artists have contributed towards the dance music we hear nowadays. I'm gonna get killed for this, but as well as many other artists. Cascada also had an influence... was any eurodance songs in the US top 100 when "Everytime We Touch" charted?
