MrTrouble Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Recently someone posted a video of a guy reacting to Britney's songs for the first time and it made me again appreciate certain elements of her songs that I got used to over time, like the powerful choir-like backing vocals in BOMT. I'd like to listen to some of her songs in slightly different versions where such parts are accentuated or even new instruments are layered on top of the rest of the song. Kind of like the live versions, e.g. the 1999 BOMT remix, or the 2000s Oops one with the electric guitars. Generally anything where the remix works off of the original song, adding more oomph to it, instead of messing with the pitch of her vocals or changing the instrumental completely. Do you have any recommendations? Some examples from me that kind of achieve the effect I'm talking about: 5 Link to comment

kneetap Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Totally get what you mean. For example I listen to britneys tour versions over the originals the majority of the time, it just gives it that extra oomph. Then when you listen to the originals they're a bit meh (dont shoot me). Perfect example is the oops VMA remix, also work *****/womanizer in vegas, piece of me circus tour remix. The only one that doesn't do ANYTHING for me like this is the FFT version of toxic. It's awful. I think thats the only one of her songs that shouldn't be messed with too much on tour ie circus tour and vegas version. they're brill. 3 1 Link to comment
PokemonSpears Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 oh, you meant slight changes, hmm idk how much you consider too much of a change, but @remixedbynick has amazing remixes that don't completely destroy the songs, though he does give them a different twist 3 Link to comment

stanLOONA Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I don't like remixes, period. But The Stop! Remix, Overprotected 'Darkchild Remix' and Boys 'Co-Ed Remix' really give a whole new meaning to each song, I can listen to the OG and the remix all day. 1 1 Link to comment

Million Billion Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I rarely like remixed editions. Most of them simply fv¢k up the original songs, but here's a few I actually like Her soft and subtle vocals remain as flawless as in the original version. It has always reminded me of Hold It Against Me, it's almost as she predicted her own future sound This remix I dare to say, it's as good as the original song. It not only stands out her raw vocals from the original song but the DJ added those beats that make the song sound as a completely different song. One of my favorites. I guess the author was (or still is?) an exhaler. Not sure if someone remembers this remix, back in the day it was highly praised. I hadnt listened to it since like 9 years ago tbh. 2 1 Link to comment
studlygeorge Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Oops VMA is superior. To me it’s better than the official version and it’s such a shame it was never released. Gimme More FFT version is also so damn good. And the break the ice remix from TCSBS 4 Link to comment

gapeach704 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The greatest remix of ALL TIME will forever be the "Scream & Shout (Super black man, all black man remix)" featuring the legendary Ms. Britney Spears. Also, I'm black so this is not a racist comment Sorry but this remix is still one of the funniest things ever Link to comment
