Unpopular Opinion: I still don't like "Hold Me Closer" by Elton John & Britney. Do you guys still enjoy it?


Recommended Posts

Never really did, it always gave me "random music that would play at H&M" vibes. I agree with the people saying it sounds muffled and fake somehow.

It's just very... nothing. Lacks everything, the production is a mess and I was disappointed because the main producer was great for Miley and Dua Lipa.

The voices never blend well. It's like Britney recorded her parts in her own room and they sent by phone to the producer lmfao.

I give it a 3/10. Bland, boring, goes nowhere, muffled vocals, doesn't sound like her in parts, generic, disappointing, she's a bg vocalist, no real acknowledgement from her, etc, etc. If I never heard it again, I'd be okay.

Interesting the first time she ever mentioned the song she called herself bg vocalist, then Elton correct her on the comments saying she was a feat. I think she shaded the final result of the song, that's why the bg vocals line.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Britney's cover of Tom's Diner.  I think her voice suits that song.  Link is below for those who haven't heard it.  Love `Anticipating` as well.

 

Yes, this is much better. Even with the robotic vocals, TD is much better produced. It makes way more sense, not boring... 

I never get tired of the song. I like a lot.

Unpopular opinion: who are you to talk with your “surprise” releases of your horrendous music? I d love to see Elton or Britney review your tracks. C’mon @JayTawndre

I'm not gonna feed into your mean negative remarks. I'll be the better person and walk away. As fans we don't have to love all Britney's songs. 

Also I will say this, talking negative about someone's passion is cruel and heartless. I don't even know you! :umwtf_britney_wth_um_wow_eyes_big_okay:

Not me only just figuring out what “manjobi” is.

It’s so obvious when you listen to it!

I have a playlist with instrumental music/without song and the original version just came on, and all I heard in my head was Britneys vocals and adlibs. So yes, its really erasing the original version for me, in a good way

Not only I love it, it's trully one of my top 3 favorite Britney songs. I pretty much listen to it everyday. It's also imo on of the best duets ever made. It pisses me off that Britney didn't promote it and didn't shoot a video for it. It deserved to be a number 1 hit.
