Katy, maybe

Britney, hell no

[Blur]

I understand some of the post saying Brit's vocal performance is not 100% invested...

But really I think it was the best way to tackle that song and to give to the chorus that relaxed, ethereal & "I don't give a damn" attitude which contrast with the lyrics and thus makes it more interesting.

Another funny critic also, is that she should be screaming her lungs out in the chorus (and she's perfectly capable of such thing before you try to use the usual "she can't sing" accusation).
Well those who are giving this "advice" are also calling this song "generic" without realizing that even though the song isn't, it would have been if B's team had followed their idea. You sense the irony ?

To answer more briefly to the subject of the thread, Katy was influenced by Ke$ha.
All of her songs sounds just like some tracks/demo from Animal which is a shame because her first album's singles were way more interesting than what she's reduced to now.

Did Ke$ha influenced Britney's sound ? I don't mean to be rude but you just don't know a lot about pop music & music if you think she did.

For one Lady gaga is the main person who has paved the way for the new girls when she revived the electro pop dance movement. Her and redone are the people u should be thinking. Dr luke jus managed to broden the sound when he created Tic tok which became very successful and now everyone wants to work with him and follow the trend.

IMO the producer and artist should both work together on the material bringin out the best in each other and making the record diff and unique it needs quality. Many of the songs we hear is jus catchy and after a couple of months we forget about the song and move on to the next catchy thing. We are lackin quality in muisc in this day in age

I'm a Ke$ha Fan, but to say that she lead the way for other artists is delusional.

She's still new to the pop scene, and although, she's artistically and musically already ahead of her peers like Katy Perry or Rihanna, she's not even finished yet promoting her debut album Animal + Cannibal.

Red One started the dance craze, not Lady GaGa.

The producers gave Britney the iconic respect in the music business that she is.

Ke$ha and Katy would be nothing without Dr.Luke and Max Martin

And Rihanna usually doesn't even write her songs.

I know Britney's new song is very generic and has been done before, but this electro-pop sound has been going for the past 2 years, and Kesha did NOT start it. Kesha joined on the band wagon along with the rest of the industry. So I think Britney's label set her up with people, and Britney put her head down and worked on what she was told to work on. I dont think Kesha influenced anyone. Sony definitly dont want to re-create Kesha's album sales. Britney's album sales double Kesha's, so if anything Kesha would have been given Britney as a model to the goal of her success.

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.'

Ehmz, no. Lady Gaga and RedOne did. Lady Gaga. Both produce

Katy? Her songs (even though by Dr Luke) sounded original on OOTB but not on TD

Only 2 songs on OOTB were produced by Dr. Luke while on TD he did 5

Maybe Katy with songs like CG & Last Friday Night. Absolutely not to Britney & especially not to Rihanna. Ke$ha could never pull off Only Girl (In the World) & the song is extremely distant from anything on Animal.

KESHA can never ever sing or attempt to sing OG.
why?
because she doesn't have the vocal chops!
and no.even if she try to attempt it, i think all of us know it gonna sound horrible.

[The Ri-son!]

the talk in this thread is ridiculous if anything justin/nelly/rihanna/britney started the whole electropop trend

Britney adds nothing to the song.

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.

She has nothing else to add to the song. She doesn't write. Every singer -> every main artist on a track adds AT LEAST his or her vocal to the song

[Nicole]

Yes Ke$ha in 2010 led the way for Britney in 1998.

[Reeces]

Ke$ha made this new sound popular, Britney is just doing what's popular right now. I'm sure Ke$ha (the artist) didn't inspire Britney at all.

Who mentioned ANYTHING about the song's lyrics? Did I say she wrote the song? Nobody did. What's your point? We were discussing Britney's performance on the TRACK.
