I'm mad that Britney didn't keep "Milkshake" by Kelis/Pharrell

[Jamie Lynn Forever]

Kelis - Milkshake (Official Music Video) - YouTube

 

This would have been perfect with Britney's voice 

This would have been on In The Zone i think ?

It's way better than Outrageous 

Why can't i embed youtube videos anymore

I actually thought this exact same thing today 

But when I think about songs that Britney or her label rejected, I always think: would the songs have been different. For example Telephone by Gaga and Umbrella by Rihanna are massive hits but both were released on their artists "prime" when the said artist was hyped to no end and everything they released became a hit after hit. I wonder if Milkshake, Umbrella or Telephone would have been hits or just semi forgotten album songs if Britney recorded them 

 

Nevertheless it would have been cool to hear Britney's versions of all these songs. Also Milkshake instead Outrageous

She has rejected so many hits, i've read somewhere that she apparently also got offered Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue in 2001  But i gotta admit, i can't really dissociate that song from Kylie, i can't imagine it without Kylie's voice. It would have been a totally different sound for Britney tho, kinda weird to imagine her releasing that song after the Oops album. 

I could see Britney singing Telephone and Milkshake but not Umbrella tho, that song screams Rihanna. 

[DignifiedLove]

Agreed. Milkshake is a brilliant pop song and it would have been another legendary moment for Britney had it been hers. 

[ElenaB]

It would have been amazing  but why replace Outrageous like they’re both flawless songs. Brave New Girl on the other hand 

 

[Blackout2006]

Yessss. Britney could have bagged in her 4th hit and 3rd mega-hit of that era and In The Zone could have been much more mega-famous, considering that it was already such a huge era enough.

Its really crazy if you think about it. Even though, the riri navy loves Britney but there r some that drag her for nothing but they dont know if Britney ever accepted Umbrella, Rihanna would have never outsold Britney.

[PickleSpears]

I'm not, it was fun for the time but got old real fast and it's kind of annoying. It doesn't fit her sound at all and it's kind of a cheap gimmick. It was good for Kelis.

Also umbrella

It doesn't fit in with the more mature theme of In the Zone in my opinion. Seems more like something that would be on the Britney album.

[jordeezy river red]

The instrumental is very similar to Bloodshy and Avant productions...Britney's version would need better lyrics. 

[ColdAsFire89]

It would be the sister song to slave 4 u instead of boys. like touch of my hand is to breathe on me. 
 

S4U and milkshake have a very similar instrumental, I think they let it go because they already had slave. 

 

 

[Danielle1987]

I can’t take that song seriously 

Britney deserves better in her discography 

[umr3000]

I’d say “Milkshake” is definitely the one that got away. 

[blackoutbixxh]

I would love to have heard Britney’s take on the track. It could have been even more iconic that Kelis’ 

[Stefani]

Never liked the song, but if it had been recorded by Brit and released as the 4th ITZ single, the knee incident never would've happened. So that'd be one positive aspect.
