Not true hunty, since Bs vocals are layered and mixed with Keri Hilson and co.

it gives it a nicer feel and distinctive sonic experience .

Vocals being mixed in with another singer’s isn’t background vocals. Learn what the definition of a fact is and then get back to me. :haha_britney_laugh_lol_lmao_hehe_haha_bw_black_white:

Personally, it’s more artistic when the artist records their own background vocals. I understand when she didn’t during the BOMT/Oops days when heavy choruses were in as that was the Swedish pop trend. But just look at “Slave 4 U” / “Make Me” and how sonically euphoric the choruses sound.

Did she?! Omg. I was always under the impression that her bg vocalists from the Cheiron days were Max and Nana Hadin.

I think it was a decision based on the style of production they wanted. True Britney's personal life was stressful but we know she recorded a lot of material for the Blackout sessions and she does have backing vocals on some songs. This wasn't a case like BJ where she was barely involved, she was the executive producer and everyone that worked with her on the album said she was a boss and got what she wanted.

Some songs on Blackout have added flavor because of the backing vocals being by other singers. Keri adds a lot to the album and the male vocals add for some really nice contrast, I can't imagine the album with them taken away. At that point it's a stylistic choice.

As I remember the years she recorded Blackout, it's a miracle she recorded so many songs considering she was papped 24/7 and only a few times leaving the recording studio.

Exactly she was like in the studio 30 minutes, did her thing, and then gone. I guess Hot As Ice was recorded like this and needed like one take if I'm not wrong.

I remember her cooing and choking on ice throughout her background vocals. I think there was a clip somewhere. So, I do believe the self-induced choking really elevated the grittiness of Blackout.

It's the break the ice sessions. It's on YouTube.
