Honestly I don't like Madge's personnality most of the time (even if her old school bitchiness is quite funny and entertaining) but I must admit I really do LOVE her music (especially Erotica, Bedtimes Story & American Life). I'm also a Janet, Cyndi & Mariah fan.
I would die of happiness if Britney ever covered this in concert or as a bonus track/demo/ whatever.
Exactly! That's why I find it ridiculous to read such things as "she could never sing" or "she can't sing to save her life". It became the n°1 criticism of all them lessors (they cling to what they can I guess).
They can ask to any of the producers or vocal coach she worked with and they're all saying the same things about her : she has a great voice and musicality.
Big differences between not being able to do something and not actually doing it.
Also, I noticed she has completely changed the way she used to sing to be able to express the pop sound better and not many people could have done that... It's another proof of her singing talent that she can adapt so easily and completely capture the essence of every songs she is given (let's be honest, she couldn't do this without being a genius of a singer).
That's what I've been saying to every stupid silly envious asshole hater who tries to discredit her talents... Britney found a way to turn her voice into a UNIQUE style in the industry, everyone knows it's her, period.
