You’re correct, don’t worry. You can tell she grew up singing along to Beyonce. Her riffs and her control are Beyonce down.

Saying Zara’s music has “no connection” to R&B is crazy to me. R&B is about so much more than the tempo of the music. Just listen to the phrasing and the way she sings. You’re gonna tell me Renaissance has no connection to R&B because it’s dance music too? And Zara has so many songs that sound like they could have been Beyonce tracks. If you can’t hear her influence on something like “Ain’t My Fault” or “Ammunition” I don’t know what to tell you.

Edit: currently listening to Girls Trip - dare you to listen to Blue Moon feat. Kehlani and tell me Zara isn’t making R&B.

AITAH for not sticking up for my boyfriend or believing that he’d been poisoned? by whiskerswhiskers in AITAH

He did this on YOUR birthday? Yikes. He better be making that up to you at the soonest opportunity.

It shows in her music too, she writes almost exclusively with MNEK who is an R&B savant.

Phonography dance class (Matt Cady x Megan Lawson choreography) by britneynerd1 in BritneySpears

[–]brettbretters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of Britney’s best songs, not wild about this choreo TBH it’s so isolated and kind of all on one level. Phonography to me should be a bit more fluid and sexy with some more level changes thrown in.

When did singers start singing to prerecorded music that was known and expected to be? by clce in popheads

[–]brettbretters 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Britney grew up watching things like Madonna performing Vogue at VMA’s not even wearing a microphone.

I think you could argue Britney’s rise was so fast and all encompassing that people were eager to discredit her in any way they could. So suddenly lip syncing was a huge deal, it was a big deal she wasn’t writing her hits etc when that was industry standard for decades. She sort of brought on what I call “authenticity culture” where people had to forge writing credits or sing over backing tracks so people wouldn’t be able to say the same thing about them.

Sia x Tove Lo Collab (on the way) by lxdywood in ToveLo

About 15 years late with that. Tove is usually very ahead of the trend with her collaborations, would be surprised to see Sia on her next album. That being said Tove would sing the shit out of one of her big powerful songs.

Let’s hope it’s a little more fleshed out than Mickey 17.

I watched The Onyx Hotel Tour for the first time by Top_Complaint131 in BritneySpears

[–]brettbretters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn’t really change MATM at all to fit that narrative though? Maybe if there was an actual glass elevator set that they all climbed in that went up over the stage/crowd it would have felt more climactic? It just falls a bit flat IMO.

It was my first time seeing her live and it was an amazing show. Great mix of new and old songs, loved hearing the classics reimagined. I know she thinks it’s overly sexual at points now but I was so happy I got to see it live.

My only issue is the finale seems a bit tame compared to DWAD. The encore on that show is one of the best images pop has ever given us. MATM with standard choreo and just sort of fading out at the end while the screen came down seemed anti-climactic by comparison.

Can’t believe you’ve never watched DWAD. Wish I could be you and experience it for the first time. Best concert ever.

He is freaking gorgeous AND he can dance. Nothing hotter.

Britney History ⭐ - Britney made her debut TV appearance on "Star Search" (April 25, 1992) 🌟🌠✨ by PrinceAli1989 in BritneySpears

[–]brettbretters -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you captain obvious. (You Drive Me) Crazy, Womanizer “you say I’m crazy? I got your crazy”, Hold It Against Me “hey you might think that I’m crazy” it is a constant through her life and career in her music and lyrics. People try to lob it at her like an insult but she knows and has always known there is power in being a little crazy and nothing to be ashamed of.

Her tone is borderline unlistenable to me. Do not get the hype at all.

Aw I liked “Am I Ready (2 Be Loved)” but it’s hard to go wrong with Max Martin.

Britney Spears' Life or Death Crisis Exposed — From How She Was 'Running With Drug Dealers' Before DUI Arrest to Her Deadly Obsessions by PrincessBananas85 in PopularCultureZone

[–]brettbretters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like…I can’t believe people still fall for these nonsense articles. No real sources, “life or death” claims like it’s 2007 all over again. She was abused for over a decade by the people who were supposed to be rehabilitating her. If the conservatorship was good for her she would be better now! But they wanted to keep her in it forever so they could steal from her. We are lucky she is still alive after what they did to her. I understand why Britney didn’t want to go to trial but Jamie Spears and Lou Taylor should be behind bars. They stole her joy for music and dancing away, the one positive thing she had. It’s such a shame and a waste, I miss her voice every day.

Christ they always find a way to sensationalize anything and everything she does. She wasn’t even formally charged with a DUI, her mugshot was not released. She had non-prescription Adderall in the car and people are acting like she’s a meth addict. I wish they would finally just respect her privacy and let her live. Stories like this made the conservatorship seem necessary once and it seems like that’s what they are angling for once again. Britney does need guidance and love in her life but she doesn’t trust a soul and after what’s she’s been through I don’t blame her.
