Nils Frahm Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Please do not hate on me but I was just playing "Sometimes" and I noticed that by around 1:26 there are some bits that don't really sound like her. "You'll see that you're the only one for me" in this verse only "that" sounds hers. I wonder if Max Martin used someone else instead of Britney on those parts either that or queen of sounding like a totally different person. "Sometimes" remains flawless Link to comment
celebration2009 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Yes, that's just her deep-ish voice. Link to comment

MissSpearsSaysSo Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 DO NOT BRING THAT MYAH MESS INOT BABY ONE MORE TIMENEY!! She's too flawless. Link to comment

WilderWein Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 that might be the most stupid question i ever read on here. her voice and her vocal talent was different back then btw, in case you didnt notice lol. Link to comment
BringTheAction Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 That's how her voice sounds when she pushes hard. That's why when when DID sing Sometimes live, she'd go falsetto for that line Link to comment
Nils Frahm Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Here she sounds beautiful but still not belting those notes like the original recording (idk if this one is prerecorded too?) Here she kinda dodged those notes (sung really low) and relied on her background vocals for that bit Here it sounds prerecorded and she "hits" those notes beautifully but still not belting them Here she kinda dodges those notes once again and relies on her background singers Conclusion: She probably couldn't belt those notes that well, so Max used an alternative singer to sing those parts. I find it really odd cause she's belting in the bridge of that song tho. She's also doing a similar belting in "Slumber Party" which I love but vocal producing techniques are different nowadays so it could pitch corrected idk: Link to comment
Isla Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I thought that was her just singing a bit higher? Link to comment

Anti-Hero Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 All the lead vocals are hers. Link to comment

Alexanda Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It is her voice in Sometimes, if u want to find backgroundvocals from someone else listen to Crazy or Oops. Link to comment
5HINee Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 No it's the background singer . there is a instrumental version of sometimes with background vocals and you can tell these vocals are not belong britney. bomt album has a lot of background vocals that aren't sung by britney , I guess it used be the trend more than ever edit : I'm not talking about the part you mentioned in sometimes , talking about that in the last minute of song there are some high pitched vocals Link to comment

What i am saying is that someone sang lead for her in those bits it's not the first time this happens with britney so it's not impossible Link to comment
