I'm not really a big jazz person but it was an interesting renedition of the song. Britney sounded really good. I do think I prefer it over the jazz version of Oops.

I agree with you, I’m not crazy on the jazz version of “Oops,” since I find it rather bland —but the “BOMT” rework is an interesting take for sure.

I would love it if Britney did a jazz-blues sort of album; I think she's got the voice and tone for it.

You’re right, she absolutely has the potential for it. She might need to practice a bit on her vocal control beforehand, but the a jazz-blues-pop album would be amazing.

I truly sounds amazing, & unique for sure.

Second this.

I love this version of BOMT so much, it has a special place on my heart.

I agree, this rendition is definitely unique, & suits her voice well.

Thoughts on phonography? I swear Gaga ripped off the beat.

Always loved it!

Not working in Chicago was such a big miss! 

I heard she was playing the character Lucy Liu played, which doesnt sing at all in the movie. But I also heard she was for the part Mya ended up playing. So who knows?

Her falsetto has always been chefs kissed!!!

the style of the song sippin on fit for her voice so well

I'm not a personal fan of jazzy/caberet stuff, but I think it's a neat switch up for those who are into that style.

It was definitely a big miss, but it happens. Hopefully, someday she’ll make a pop album mixed with jazzy-blues. 🤞🏻

She really does sound great —& her “Sippin’ On” song needs an official release, for sure.

I get what you mean, it’s definitely a unique change in its own way, for sure.

I'm into Hi-NRG music so the slower cabaret-style just doesn't hit me hard enough. I remember watching the EMA 1999 performance as a kid and being a bit taken aback and a tiny bit disappointed in the version - I wasn't expecting that - but I loved the performance overall. Maybe one day I'll calm down & enjoy the jazzier side of life. 👄

This one’s amazing. In fact, I’d love a full-length version of this specific “BOMT” mix. I do think many of us learned to appreciate her remixes until much later though, but you definitely have good taste —& maybe Britney will make us all love jazz one day.

You never know

I think this is one of the highlights when it comes to her songs being remixed. The fact it wasn't simply her original vocals slapped over a new instrumental, and that this was more live-orientated and stripped back. It certainly suited the style of the tour, but I was always hoping to hear a kind of remix album that reimagined her original tracks, rather than re-worked/remastered. In a sense it would make it less an 'update' (like Taylor's Versions) and more J-To-The-LO treatment when it came to songs like I'm Real/Ain't It Funny mur*** Remixes. Thinking maybe the song choice could've been different, but I think it would've been less effective if it was of a newer song than a recognisable song with lyrics everyone knew.

I don't think we'll ever get a mature sounding album like this from her, but her vocals once (and hopefully still) lent well do the slower, sultry, deeper tracks. Touch of My Hand, Shadow and Breathe on Me are prime examples as well.

Thanks for sharing - really good to hear this again after a while!

I agree, it’s nice to hear her sing something a tad different from her usual sound, & I would absolutely love for her to do an album of reimagined songs. Maybe for her biopic, but we just never know with Britney.
 

Thanks for the kind comment.

Yes, I liked that she was blonde in the abc special, but she felt more sassy to me in the “Onyx” tour. Both nice performances though, for sure.
