Why Wasn't Britney On Lady Marmalade

[OCBoy1985]

I always wondered why Britney wasn't  apart of this song?

 I mean you could have removed Mya and added Britney!

I wonder was Britney offered a part but turned it down?

 

[Guest Halaut7]

Removing mya for Brit would have been perfect 

[Lou M. Taylor]

She was too big in 2001 to be sharing the spotlight with 3 other females.

Besides, if Xtina jumped on the song first, it becomes even clearer why she didn't do it.

Edit:

Another reason: She was still an innocent teen girl in March 2001, her label wouldn't have allowed her to jump on a song for such an "explicit" movie/video

High-heeled shoes, getting love from the dudes. Four hasbeen chicks from the Moulin Rouge

 

 

That's why!

  She didn't need to.

[Noname2022]

Because shes too good for that. Shes not a hoe, shes classy

[tsss]

because back then you needed to be MJ to collab with Britney

That gif is slaying my existence tbh

I think I remeber and interview with one of the girls managers and he said that Britneys team didnt want her to portray a hooker of something. She was definitley asked.

[justkeepdoingit]

she was probably asked and declined, just like she did with "nobody wants to be lonely", "tilt ya head back" & "carwash"

She could have gotten a Grammy for it and having her and Xtina on the same song would have made it even more ICONIC!

However Xtina has a huge ego and I don't think she would have been able to handle Britney getting all the attention.... As we seen how she shaded Britney and Beyoncé after the 03 VMAs

[ItsJustMe.]

the song was meant to promote Xtina the most

 

of course they didn't ask Britney, she always overshadowed X

they didn ask her. Her team said no because they didnt want her portraying a prostitute.

[getnaked281]

No Britney was in her PRIME, she sure  did not need any collaborations in her early career. I just hate that she collaborate just about  with anyone now in the industry. Its sad.

[Britneybbhmm]

Where is our "ghetto superstar" mya? She is so pretty! 

I'm glad britney wasn't a part of that. Britney was already an Icon and shared the stage with Michael Jackson! So...

PINK'S SONGS ARE CHARTING BETTER THAN BRITNEY'S THOUGH

[really really cool guy]

she was the biggest popstar back then....no need to do collabs 

also xtina would be mad because britney would have been the center of attention

What you mean that Alice in wonderland soundtrack?  I like pink. But film tracks always chart well

specially if they're for kids' movies
