The definitive Britney Jean vocals thread

[PlayboyMommy]

I have been wanting to do this for the longest time so here it is. Every track from Britney Jean analyzed lyric by lyric. Needless to say that while I tried my best it's not 100% accurate. Use headphones for a better listening experience

Alien

Lead vocals: Britney Spears & Myah Marie

[Verse 1]
There was a time I was one of a kind
Lost in the world, doubting me, myself and I
Was lonely then
Like an alien
I tried, but I never figured it out
Why I always felt like a stranger in a crowd
Oh, that was then
Like an alien

[Chorus]
But the stars in the sky
Look like home, take me home
And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
And we're not alone, not alone, not alone
You're not alone, not alone, not alone

[Verse 2]
Crossed through the universe to get where you were
Travelled the night, riding on a shooting star
Was lonely then
Like an alien
Had to get used to the world I was on
While yet still unsure if I knew where I belonged
Oh, that was then
Like an alien

[Chorus]
But the stars in the sky
Look like home, take me home
And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
And we're not alone, not alone, not alone
You're not alone, not alone, not alone

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
But the stars in the sky
Look like home, take me home
And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
And we're not alone, not alone, not alone
You're not alone, not alone, not alone

[Outro]
(Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone)

[Verse 1]
Do I imagine it, or do I see your stare?
Is there still longing there?
Oh, I hate myself and I feel crazy
Such a classic tale
Current girlfriend, ex girlfriend
I'm trying to be cool
I'm being paranoid, am I seeing things?
Am I just insecure?

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to believe
It's just you and me
Sometimes it feels like there's three
Of us in here, baby

[Chorus]
So, I wait for you to call
And I try to act natural
Have you been thinking 'bout her or about me?
And while I wait, I put on my perfume
Yeah, I want it all over you
I gotta mark my territory

[Post-Chorus]
I'll never tell, tell on myself
But I hope she smells my perfume
I'll never tell, tell on myself
But I hope she smells my perfume
I'll hide it well, hope you can't tell
But I hope she smells my perfume
I'll hide it well, hope you can't tell
But I hope she smells my perfume

[Verse 2]
I wanna fill the room, when she's in it with you
Please, don't forget me
Do I imagine it, or catch these moments?
I know you got history
But I'm your girlfriend, now, I'm your girlfriend trying to be cool
I hope I'm paranoid, that I'm just seeing things
That I'm just insecure

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to believe
It's just you and me
Sometimes it feels like there's three
Of us in here, baby

[Chorus]
So, I wait for you to call
And I try to act natural
Have you been thinking 'bout her or about me?
And while I wait, I put on my perfume
Yeah, I want it all over you
I gotta mark my territory
So I, I wait for you to call
And I try to act natural
Have you been thinking 'bout her or about me?
And while I wait, I put on my perfume
Yeah, I want it all over you
I gotta mark my territory

[Post-Chorus]
I'll never tell, tell on myself
But I hope she smells my perfume
I'll never tell, tell on myself
But I hope she smells my perfume
I'll hide it well, hope you can't tell
But I hope she smells my perfume
I'll hide it well, hope you can't tell

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking, just sitting thinking
On why I love you and all the reasons
And if I lost you, boy, if I lost you
I'd lose myself, and I wouldn't feel the way I feel now
You bring me zen, yes, you bring me zen
And you make me feel like a million billion
I'll let you in, but don't you break my heart
Don't you rip me apart, oh, don't you rip me apart

Baby love, it should be easy
It shouldn't be complicated
It should be easy
I don't know how else to say it, say it, say it, say it

[Drop]
I don't know how to say it

[Verse 2]
I've got visions, boy, I've got visions
Of me and you happily just livin'
I know they're out there, them beautiful men
But you my future, baby, you my right now
If there was a scale from one to ten
My love for you is a million billion
Boy, I'll love you 'til the day I'm dead
So please don't mess with my head, please don't mess with my head

[Chorus]
Baby love, it should be easy
It shouldn't be complicated
It should be easy
I don't know how else to say it, say it, say it, say it

My dynamite stick known to drive **** crazy, baby

Treat her like an animal somebody call PETA
Put a little bit of this inside a margarita
Then put your thing have you running like a meter
On a cab in the city, where the girls are pretty
Find me in the club, where the girls get busy
With a flat stomach, fat booty, nice shaped *******
My wrist so froze you could ice skate with it
Give it to you til you curl your toes
Get your *** out your clothes, sit back and behold the explosion

I'm blind from the tears that fall like rain
So lost, ever since you went away
Sometimes our lives forever change
My heart's never gonna be the same

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you came and you gave me a place
Place to lay all my pain
Why'd you take it away?

[Chorus]
You never know what you got 'til it's gone
You never know what you got 'til it's gone
You never, you never, you never, you never

'Til it's gone, gone, gone, gone
You never know what you got 'til it's gone

I try every night, to turn the page
But daylight can't confine me to a cage
In my mind, the life we had replays
Now everywhere, I turn I see your face

Place to lay all my pain
Why'd you take it away?

[Verse 1]
I can't let go of control
I can't let go and not know
Don't know the way ahead of me
One day at a time is all I need
There was a time without trust
There was a time without love
But it took you to show me
I could hand over the keys

[Chorus]
I'll let you lead the way now
'Cause I want you to take the wheel
I've never been a passenger though
I never knew how good it would feel
The road will twist and turn but
I know that I am in good hands
I've never been a passenger, no
But we'll see more without a map
Without a map, without a map, without a map

[Verse 2]
So, let's take a walk and get lost
Let's take a chance on finding us
I wanna see the world with you
Every step feels so brand new
It's hard to jump with no net
But I've jumped and got no regret
My co-pilot, yeah that’s right
Now, I can just enjoy the ride

[Chorus]
I'll let you lead the way now
'Cause I want you to take the wheel
I've never been a passenger though
I never knew how good it would feel
The road will twist and turn but
I know that I am in good hands
I've never been a passenger, no
But we'll see more without a map
Without a map, without a map, without a map

[Bridge]
I know we're finally falling
'Cause I was giving you half now I'm all in
My hand's in the air while you're driving
This is living, this is living, this is living, yeah

[Chorus]
I'll let you lead the way now
'Cause I want you to take the wheel
I've never been a passenger though
I never knew how good it would feel
The road will twist and turn but
I know that I am in good hands
I've never been a passenger, no
But we'll see more without a map
Without a map, without a map, without a map

If they told me it's over, I wouldn't believe it
Because you know we both care
But we gotta get over, over the mountain
We can't keep standing, standing there
Let's move on and be stronger
Even though we can't go
Let go, can't hold on, when love's broken

[Chorus]
This is gonna be our last goodbye
Our love is gone, but I'll survive
Hide my tears and dry my eyes
You don't need to see me cry
Pack my bags, can't take no more
Adios, I'm out the door
Hide your tears and dry your eyes

Don't cry, don't cry, cry, cry
Don't cry, cry, don't cry
Don't cry, cry, cry

[Verse 2]
In the beginning, we were both crazy
We were crazy in love
Now that it's ending, we are just crazy
Because we love with no trust
Can't go on any longer
Babe, we gotta let it go
Move on, can't hold on, when love's broken

This is gonna be our our last goodbye
Our love is gone, but I'll survive

[Verse 1]
So wicked in the way he moves
Don't miss it
Do not be a fool

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a long way, it's a long way home
Light inside of me
It ignites my bones

[Chorus]
He comes to me in my dreams
And tells me what I need to know
He makes me feel so at ease
And guides me to the lights above
I just wanna fall into his arms tonight
Someone tell me I, I will be alright
Hold on tight

Remembering, I forever will
Surrendering, just to how we felt

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a long way, it's a long way home
Light inside of me
It ignites my bones

And tells me what I need to know
He makes me feel so at ease
And guides me to the lights above
I just wanna fall into his arms tonight
Someone tell me I, I will be alright
Hold on tight

[Bridge]
And when it's all the thunder and rain
The cinema is fading away
I gotta make my way through the night
Holding on with all of my might
And when I'm lost, and I can't find the way
I feel the pieces breaking away
Hug myself with all of my might
Don't let go, just hold on tight

[Chorus]
He comes to me in my dreams
And tells me what I need to know
He makes me feel so at ease
And guides me to the lights above
I just wanna fall into his arms tonight
Someone tell me I, I will be alright
Hold on tight

 

Now That I Found You

[Verse]
On a shameless night, in a nameless place
I thought that love was a hopeless case
'Til I found you
'Til I found you
Lived a wasteful life in a hateful city
There was no love just pain and pity
'Til I found you
'Til I found you

[Pre-Chorus]
And you don't know how you saved me
And you don't know what you gave me
And you don't know how you saved my life

[Chorus]
I can see the light
I have flown away
I have come alive
I am blown away
I have felt the love
I can see the truth
Now that I found you
Now that I found you
I can live my life
I believe in faith
I have found myself
I have lost the hate
I have felt the love
I can see the truth
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

[Verse]
On a shameless night, in a nameless place
I thought that love was a hopeless case
'Til I found you
'Til I found you
Lived a wasteful life in a hateful city
There was no love just pain and pity
'Til I found you
'Til I found you

[Pre-Chorus]
And you don't know how you saved my life

I can see the light
I have flown away
I have come alive

Have waited for you, now I adore you
All my life I've waited for this day
Have waited for you, now I adore you

I can see the light

I have come alive
I am blown away
I have felt the love
I can see the truth
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

Here's the thing while Britney recorded over half of the actual album we might never know why she never went and recorded the other half. Either she was "too busy" rehearsing or she simply didn't go to the final recording sessions which would explain why they called in Myah to record all the missing parts, re-record some of Britney's vocals which were probably deemed unusable or too weak and record brand new songs -- i.e. Body Ache

While on some songs like Tik Tik Boom Myah's vocals and presumably Britney's overlap each other to the point where it's nearly impossible to distinguish one another, personally, the worst offender on the entire album is Hold on Tight. Britney's original voice track was literally destroyed as it shamelessly goes back and forth from Britney to Myah as one giant patchy mess which you can hear better on this acoustic rendition

That's it really. Let me know if you think I should change anything

Tbh i still don't know how the **** they managed to do something like that... Like, for real, they thought they could lie to us like that? they thought we would have never find out that the girl singing most of those songs is obviously NOT Britney?  

[C0CKy]

I have mad respect for you for listening to the entire album to do this investigative journalism. 

I still think we should file a class-action lawsuit for false advertisement just like Michael Jackson’s fans did when Sony released an album full of fake vocals after he died. 

[jordeezyIZkarma]

I feel like there is some Britney in "Work *****" but not as main vocal.  I also feel like there is less Britney in "Passenger". 

[Isla]

I’m pretty sure we had a thread for this before, but thanks anyway! It’s always interesting to see, although again idk if this is entirely accurate. There’s more Myah than I thought in Hold On Tight.
 

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

I think you pretty much got it right. It’s so crazy that it was released and charred as high as it did. I can’t wait to have this mess on vinyl. 

[BRITannico]

To be honest I am very surprised that “work *****” there is not a single verse sang by Britney.

i knew all about the other tracks.  where the hell was I to miss this ? 

[F.a.u.zish]

I agree that Til Its gone is all Myah, I think that one often gets overlooked for the likes of Passenger despite Passenger actually having Britney sing the verses.

 

Also most  the voice in Hold on Tight verses sounds like the same person to me, the remembering part sounds like Britney to me, however the chorus is however made up of so many different takes its so messy. Even the parts where its not Myah you can tell they are splicing together different takes of Britney's vocals in a bad way.

[Nickey]

Such an amazing thread, thank you 

You got it right. On some parts of the vocals it's really hard to tell who's the lead singer because they didn't just put Myah's vocals and that's it (like in Til It's Gone) but what they did is a sloppy mix of Britney and Myah which sounds very chipmunky and just bad (Tik tik boom). What a pathetic copy-paste work 

It's also pathetic that they didn't just postpone this album like a normal artist would. 

[edamamebeans]

omg why is the idea of the duet with britney's SISTER not actually containing any britney vocals so funny to me 

[Cheshire-B]

It's insane... 

At this point they should have reworked some old demos to have her actual voice on the tracks... 

[ILikeChillinWithYou]

I was wondering where I've seen something similar before, but then I remembered-

I suggest everyone take a look into this

[Roxxy]

I think you pretty much got everything right. 

[Charlotte_the_Harlot]

I laughed hard at Work ***** 

But I think some words are Britney's, but just words, not verses 

[xkhingx]

work ***** has some britney vocals.

at the work,work,work,work work it out part it’s britney’s voice

also body ache has britney vocals but just mixed and layered with myahs vocals.

chillin with you has britney saying “bout a thing” and nothing else

also tik tik boom has myah beginning some words for example myah:you britney:got a *** siren in your face

[Avatar]

The "lada dees and its the only way to love" are Myah in "It Should Be Easy" and Britney sings verses and chorus in "Tik Tik Boom"  but not the extra backgrounds or adlibs.

The rest are pretty accurate give or take... but its sad that we even have to debate this.

[okiobspears]

I have always thought they had a missed opportunity with NTIFY. This could have been a moderate hit back in 2013.

[Fudgeney]

Does no one think maybe they were trying to phase britney out with this album so they didn’t actually need her in order to make the music. Looking at it through the lens of the conservatorship this definitely seems like the case

Maybe, felt like a test or they were trying to see if they could get away with it for future postmortem situations. I mean they did get away with it on the song Circus and bits of FF. 

[Nickey]

You did a great job at pointing out all these vocals but I think there's a bit more of Britney in Til It's Gone. It's so creepy that they cut out some words sung by her and it randomly appears in verses... So that's what I hear, I mean clearly, they wanted it to sound like Britney so much but you can literally hear the difference in the verses, just check out this one above with my edits

[Verse 1]
I'm blind from the tears that fall like rain
So lost, ever since you went away
Sometimes our lives forever change
My heart's never gonna be the same

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you came and you gave me a place
Place to lay all my pain
Why'd you take it away?

[Chorus]
You never know what you got 'til it's gone
You never know what you got 'til it's gone
You never, you never, you never, you never
You never know what you got 'til it's
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
'Til it's gone, gone, gone, gone
You never know what you got 'til it's gone

[Verse 2]
I try every night, to turn the page
But daylight can't confine me to a cage
In my mind, the life we had replays
Now everywhere, I turn I see your face

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you came and you gave me a place
Place to lay all my pain
Why'd you take it away?

[Chorus]
You never know what you got 'til it's gone
You never know what you got 'til it's gone
You never, you never, you never, you never
You never know what you got til it's
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Til it's gone, gone, gone, gone
You never know what you got 'til it's, 'til it's
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Til it's gone, gone, gone, gone
You never know what you got 'til it's gone

[Bridge]
All the memories, I'm saving
So your love is never fading
Holding on my heart is breaking
Can't let go

[Chorus]
You never know what you got 'til it's
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Til it's gone, gone, gone, gone
You never know what you got 'til it's, 'til it's
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Til it's gone, gone, gone, gone
You never know what you got 'til it's, 'til it's
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Til it's gone, gone, gone, gone
You never know what you got 'til it's
Got 'til it's, got 'til it's, got 'til it's gone
