Recently, Bonnie McKee talked about pitching a track for Britney's Femme Fatale album called "Femme Fatale", that ended up being rejected because of her mispronunciation of the title. She even said she commented it to David Guetta and he laughed at her.

Listen to the story on her Tik Tok (below)

The track with her vocals has surfaced via Discord. It seems it's a very early mix, since it has no bridge.

I can jam to this especially the verses. But the wrong pronunciation makes me cringe.

People mispronouncing stuff all the time, who cares. 

It's difficult without any french knowledge. 

 

You can use Google translator just to check before recording it at least

Ironically, the correct pronunciation in French is "Fam Fa-tal" (not "Fem") so we're all wrong!

I can see why this one was left out

Horrible. Hold it Against me ( written by Bonnie) was also horrible. Britneys voice and the dubstep breakdown made it barable but it is still extremely generic. and bland.

I remember when Larry Rudolph kept promising us that the basic dubstep-less version, that leaked, was not the final version because fans were so outraged that such a crappy song was going to be a Britney Spears lead single. He had to assure the fans that there was more to the instrumental and mixing  than what leaked in the demo.

Bit late but just heard this... it's a bit of bawp and sounds like it could have fit on the album but yeah... the pronunciation ddd. I thought she was saying 'FENTY FATALE' for a second.

Check out her TikTok about it! It’s actually catchy and I bet it could have been a hit!  The songwriter claims the song didn’t make the cut because Team Brit said she pronounced “fatale” as “faytale”  
 

Could they not have just told Britney to say it the correct way and recorded it anyways?
