Britney Spears: The Covers Songs...

[Joman82]

Britney had the tradition of releasing at least one cover song in her first three studio albums, and then the first single of her Greatest Hits compilation album. She has always liked giving her own spin to songs of artists that she admires.

Like for example: Cher, Madonna, Joan Jett and Suzanne Vega.

 

Here is the list of Britney’s cover songs from another artists (studio versions).

1)      “The Beat Goes On”, (originally by Sonny & Cher), 1999.

6)      “We Will Rock You", with Beyoncé and Pink (Pepsi Ad), (originally by Queen), 2004.

7)      “My Prerogative”, (originally by Bobby Brown), 2004.

8)      “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long”, (originally by Otis Redding), 2006/2007 [unreleased].

My prerogative, because that was one of the covers where a singer outdid the original 

[Itachi]

never been a fan of her covers, i mean i like them but i prefer her original songs. I'll Never Stop Loving You, Out From Under are my favorites, and You Oughta Know from the live performances.

i believe she did a lot of Janet Jackson and Madonna covers in her first tour

You forgot these covers she did on the BOMT tour:

Material Girl (originally by Madonna)

Black Cat (originally by Janet Jackson)

Nasty (originally by Janet Jackson)

Open Arms (originally by Journey)

As for unreleased stuff, she also recorded a cover of Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing for her demo tape to Jive (and also sang the song at her audition), the song Today from the tape was also originally an unreleased Toni Braxton song (not sure if that counts as a cover though?). She also covered the Disney song It's a Small World (which is used for the attraction at Disneyland/Disney World) for the first Disneymania compilation but it was removed from the tracklisting. 

[Haha-Hehe-Haha-Ho]

Does Happy Birthday count as a cover??

I love her covers that she sang in her real voice like:

I'll Never Stop Loving You, You Got It All, I Have Nothing, Something To Talk About and Open Arms.

(Oh how I wish she could sing it again)
