Yeah it does sound like the same drums from BOMT now that I think about it.

Hi-hats are like a percussion drum. It’s that tt tt tt tt sounding drum  if that makes sense LOL

What??? Britney’s Vault did more than be shady?? I gotta listen to those vocal files. I Will Be There is one of the best songs from BOMT. It seems like the final vocals aren’t too different from the “demo.”

These are the final vocals. They just mixed them.

I just realized we had a 1 minute clip of this demo since 1998. Hopefully someone manages to mix the vocals and give us a nice "demo".

OMG YES FINALLY!!! 

Is it just me or does the instrumental sound like BOMT?

I know its from the same album but the instrumental sounds so similar.

Mte. It's like they have recorded both Oops and BOMT albums off just one sample

Mimi, PLEASE do me a favor. Hear me out. A lot of disco IS trash, you aren't wrong. BUT, put on a GOOD pair of headphones, not airpods, etc. Something that covers your whole ear. Listen to some ABBA, or (yes) the BeeGees. I used to feel the same way you do about disco, then one day, my mind was BLOWN. Musically, it's really complex. Also, the 70s was SO much more than just disco. You had Queen, Bowie, the Stones, Olivia Newton-John, ELTON John, Cat Stevens, Linda Ronstadt...so much music absolutely worth listening to that's not disco. You won't be sorry. 

I actually don't have airpods but apple headphones.

I will say I do like some disco songs like Staying Alive by the Beegees and idk if this counts as disco but I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor.

 

Another 70s duo I do like is Donny and Marie Osmond.

My sister actually got me into their music and we even saw them in Vegas at their residency in 2014.

They sang really well.

This thread makes even more sense: Britney's I Will Be There sounds like Torn by Natalie Imbruglia

Quote

Also sounds a lot like “that’s the way it is” by Celine 

I think I will be there was modeled after Torn. britney even said originally her album was going to sound like Natalie Imbruglia music

Maybe it was meant to be the first single at some point.

omg ths is sooo good. her voie and is clear and crisp

[Kaitlyn Johnson]

This is my favorite song from the album.  Her vocals in the demo are so good. Her voice had so much room for growth. What a shame. 

[Sia]

Maybe I’m in the minority but I absolutely PREFER this instrumental to the album version. It sounds edgier with more single potential.

I need to make a new version now haha!

[Isla]

Whaaat how have I just seen this thread.

I remember hearing a snippet of this demo years ago and being shocked at how similar it sounded to BOMT! Probably for the best they made it into more of a pop rock song.

Very nice to have this demo in full  

[Spiritbox]

I know we're all here because we love Britney...

 

But let met just be drunk, okay?? And say how much I love her ******* voice?? Her natural tone is so unique and amazing. It's like dark black cherry bubblegum. A hint of a dark depth beneath a fluffy pink surface.

 

And **** what people say. She still has this damn voice. People just want to throw melodyne all over it.

Yes, I echo what you say about BOMT.

The beat, and some of the backing track.

One of the biggest complains when BOMT was released was how similar all the album songs sounded to the first single.

Which really made no sense. I hear the similarities between BOMT and Crazy but nothing else on the album really sounded like BOMT.

[LordofTheMoodRing]

Beautiful and cute. You can hear the bits of future Britney

[2K16NEY]

Her voice is so stunning and raw

When she goes into falsetto... omg I wish I could inject this into my veins 

[Martian_M00d]

Great control of her voice, and that baby voice sound sounded flawless 

[Delicious Pork Chops]

Yeah they reused the same drum samples & synth patches. 

But it's great to heart it! I remember listening to the behind the scenes and found it interesting to hear the earlier version. I always loved that JP-haunting/hollow sound.
