If anything they felt she was lucky to be there....this was a display for record executives and people in the industry they were trying to shop her out to for more songs. The people in that room are responsible for getting enough tracks on her first album to even be released. Since she didn’t have a name she had to perform to earn her songs.
The way she switches from her natural and baby voice shows how a struggle for her to be forced to sing with the baby voice. Sometimes it's hard to reach the baby voice notes for her so she had to go back to her deeper voice...

@@nosecandie3890 WOW! Well did you know that Britney designed her costumes in baby one more time. In fact she came up with the whole video except the lyrics. And Britney said no one was talking about how Backstreet boys were making out and doing sexual acts with the microphone but all of a sudden when Britney shows her belly it's seen as inapropiate and now she's a sex symbol.
Covid getting to you? Chill. They were just talking about her voice. And it's true. Try not being able to sing in your natural voice- during YOUR WHOLE music career!! Over 20 years. 😒😕 Peace ✌☺😊🐒🐒🐵
I've been in that position. I tried to force myself to be a first soprano for years, settled with second soprano...but I was really an alto. Not smart.
+StrickenWithFear from what I've seen when people say alto they mean someone who has the traits of a contralto but also has the traits of a mezzo soprano and since there isn't a name for that they say alto
First of all, there's no such a thing as "alto" as a vocal fach. Alto is a part or section in choral music. The lowest female voice is CONTRALTO. Second, she's not a contralto. Her voice is too bright, light and feminine to be a true contralto. She's just a MEZZO with a low tessitura and a limited vocal range + underdeveloped upper belting and head voice. I love how Britney fans throw these terms they don't understand at all just like that. PS: If you meant "they made her sing in the Soprano tessitura" you're wrong. She doesn't sing in the soprano tessitura AT ALL. Most of her songs are perfectly fine for Mezzos.
it was a joke...of course it's such a shame, that she is able to go on,while it's evident,that her shows are nothing other than dance routines with a soundtrack to them....poor...
+Fabian81 Seriously, it lip syncing is your only argument please keep quiet. Every artist lip syncs. Britney is more focused on putting on a show then singing because she doesn't have to sing. She has nothing to prove to anyone. But she DOES sing live on occasion's, just not all the time.
Wow her live vocals are so much deeper and more powerful than the CD tracks. However, watching her go from Low, deep vocals to, baby, fake high vocals is difficult to watch.
Chelsea Criner i'm glad she did it in my country tho 🌚 but isn't it strange for an asian tour/debut/showcase and then no tours anywhere near the southeast asia region until last year's piece of me asian tour?
That’s a reach. They is literally nothing special about her voice. Many young artist go through this transitional faze when they mature. Unfortunately Britney didn’t work hard enough on her new voice to showcase her range.
@@nosecandie3890 I 100% agree! Her sex appeal stole the show. Not saying I don't like her, but her vocals just aren't there. Maybe when she was a kid, sure, but not afterwards. Just average.
This is the thing, Britney can actually sing! I think she just had such a unique voice her label just didn't know what to do with her! NO one sounds like this, she is really a treasure!
No, Britney cannot sing and she’s proven that throughout her career. Her voice was not unique she was simply struggling trying to mimic her powerful voice she had as a kid but simple lost that ability due to maturing in age. Her label seemed to know exactly what to do. Switch up her technique to do with was allow max martin to teach her a new vocal technique that they could work with inside the studio. They are many people who sound this bad when trying to sing and if they audition for a singing competition they wouldn’t make it past tryouts. The only treasure is her confidence to keep going knowing her voice was struggling
@@nosecandie3890 Older voices lose the upper range moreso than the lower. She was Christina's twin in terms of effects when they sang unfiltered. Vocals aren't lost until the mid-30s, sometimes even later depending on the stress they were subjected to.
Britney should show this wonderful voice again. Not for the haters, neither the media, but for the real fans that love her so much and would give everything to see something like that again.
Unfortunately this voice is long gone. If you followed her career you would notice in each era her natural voice got worse. If anything Britney shouldve mastered her high pitch technique to prove hard work pays off.
With a conservatorship keeping her tightly under the control of others, she really doesn't not have much say in the direction her handlers want her to promote herself publically.
OMG Yes I agree. I didnt like Britney getting used on for auto tuning it but she rather use her natural voice on her tunes. I feel so bad for her on the 13-14 years of BS she'd gone through. Thats why I'm into Britney Spears and supporting her.
Yea she did...to fit into the role she took on when she signed with the label that made her famous with the baby voice😅 she couldn't deliver what they saw the image of hers so....
I mean maybe she didn't know she ll be such a puppet when she signed or maybe she hoped she can change their mind later after she entered the world...who knows
I’m just stunned by her beauty & elegance. You can see she’s passionate about her singing and not just showing off, like many popular singers do these days.
@@ulpianobedia5809 was she forced into it? I hate it when people make her to be this poor puppet. She became a legend in part to her unique voice. Maybe she went along with it because she knew it would make her unique
@@natirasohumana As far as I know, yes. She was forced by her label to change to the baby voice because the record label thought the baby sound good would make more than her actual voice.

She is a singer, above average and that is a fact. She had, carisma, an appealing voice, stage presence and being extremely beautiful did help, that combo is hard to find, that's why she was a global phenomenon. A true pop superstar.
Agree. This isnt the best showing of vocal prowess. Having said that with a proper vocal training she can definitely be at least a good singer. But yes, other than the singing part. Everything else was perfect. The perfect package. And she was also lucky to start her career with Max Martin. All those hits from him got her to superstardom.
a singer above average? hahahahahahahaha no way. Good singer, Good performer with amazing pop hits. I like her image and songs but let's not exagerate.
Only true Britney fans can appreciate this. look how innocent Brit Brit was back then, she's been through life's struggles but look at her now. 150 million albums sold, multiple #1 singles , an A list celebrity , star ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME, a world known brand, multiple awards, Las Vegas RESIDENCY , millions of loyal fans, a loving family, two beautiful kids and still going strong. Iconic is what she is.
Loving family ?! They were the ones who wanted her girl to be famous NO MATTER the sacrifices ! They sold her again and again until now there’s no more passion in her for music only obligations by the contracts HER FATHER signs in her name ! That’s an opportunistic family and management ! There are so many great artists that ended up destroyed or dead inside because they’ve been sold out ! I will always love and appreciate the Britney with whom i grew up until the « switch » that took place after the Blackout album. It’s not her anymore and she’ll never be :( God bless her for making my adolescence nicer and for the memories i have listening to her songs.
She really did start from the bottom. It sucks how much the industry changed her and how they stripped away her natural talent/voice and made her sound so bubble gum pop. Had she stuck to her true voice she could have been a really great singer. They focused more on her as a performer/dancer than an actual singer. I'd love to hear her just singing around the house with her natural voice and not the bubblegum pop voice. I'm sure she can still sound pretty decent.
+Dustin Guillotte I agree, back then you had to actually WORK to get anywhere in the music industry but now someone can get discovered online thus we have the abomination known as Justin Bieber.
Her voice was ruined by baby voice but we can't deny the fact that the baby voice created a huge impact in her career amidst the bad effects that it had for her voice. Her voice is really hard to imitate, both her deep and baby voice- those are her alone.
Not only was her own rent due... but her family, friends and community’s rents were due. She had to sing for everybody in order to survive! and she in full after this performance
This is the REAL BRITNEY...her lower voice is deep and powerful but sad coz people around her and label JIVE hide this talent, remember guys ORIGINAL DOLL unreleased album thats the album she want to show the real her, she goes to RADIO station and want MONA LISA played without permission of JIVE and that day we here that single after that we never heard again and the album vanished, then her comes the breakdown era which she REBEL she lost herself and think no ONE BELIEVE her..but after that dark times she try to get back and find herself again with the help of her family and her fans who been there for her. to all HATERS you guys are educated person if you dont like her as an artist atlist give her a RESPECT as a human being. god bless us
What? Britney was electroshocked? How do u know? I really miss her, I will always support her, but I want her back. It seems like something changed her and I wish I could help to get the original brit
You’re right this is the real Britney but unfortunately there was nothing powerful about her vocals here. She simply vocalized her voice to make it louder but there was no resonance there. Jive wasn’t trying to hide her talents Jive was trying to hide her deteriorating vocals which is understandable when you’ve invested money in an artist who is losing their vocal ability as they matured. I’ve listened to “original doll” And unfortunately there were no hits within that body of work and any smart company is not about risk destroying the product they invested in by releasing such an album. She was blessed for a record company to give her a chance when the risk was so high which is why i assume they put her on that temporary contract.
@@nosecandie3890 Even with her OG vocals on 'Original Doll', it would've been compromised by years of a singing almost in falsetto with a strained and shrunken tessitura (thank Max Martin and the handful of engineers on her records), also she's been smoking since early-2002.
I don't think she can't sing, I just think they took a natural unique voice and screwed with it too much. She sounds better than I ever could lol plus a lot of star appeal.
Chris, I think you're deaf as shit. She has such a unique and strong voice. Those falsettos and ad-lips in Sometimes? You think they're easy to do? I mean, those are some amazing shits!
Typical hater. Nothing else to say. How can anyone (who is neither deaf or a hater) say pre-2001 Britney coould not sing? She used to fucking slay! Maybe not technical, but naturally good, deep, powerful and unique voice + great natural vibratto.
Whatever the "X factor" is that makes someone stand out with star quality, Britney has not only always had it, but she had it in abundance. She is simply mesmerising to watch. For a period she was one of the most beautiful women in history.
+Rob Smith what the hell are you talking about. her voice.. her singing at this moment is fucking live. who gives a fuck if she is singing over a track. she needed the music and backup vocals. this is a low budget preformance. she couldnt have backup singers there. and britney is a different preformer then adele. adele is a singer britney is an entertainer. and by your definition of live you still act as if britney has never sung live.
It's about time if not the perfect time to show she actually has a voice. Her voice is so unique and beautiful!! I wish the record company never changed the way she sings!!!
the baby voice killed her natural alto register 😢😢😢 but she's talented and worked as a vocal actress for over 2 decades. it requires talents and ranges to impersonate baby voices and Brit has got talent
suck my pussy y'all i dont think her natural voice is totally gone. she used it when she covered let's give them something 2 talk about at one of her vegas shows last year & in perfume too
Yall. LOVE her but she does not sound good here. No need to pretend like she does. Watch it on .75 speed and you can hear her voice clearly separate from the track
It's sad to see this... remember her good times and what she could be doing vocally today. Her voice was so much deeper, stronger than the helium voice we have nowadays
This is the first time I've ever heard her sing, "You Got It All Over" live. Her voice has always been limited, but I absolutely loved it for everything it was. She shines brightly here-- this is definitely a diamond in the rough. Her live vocals are excellent and the backing track is sure to never drown her out. I'm so proud of her and everything she has accomplished in her career. It's been wonderful to watch her success over almost two decades now. While Britney is currently a shell of her former self, I will always find enjoyment from looking back on her earliest performances. From an old fan; good luck Britney! Congratulations on everything you are today. Humble beginnings, for sure.
Not so limited! She was a huge singing talent on Mickey Mouse Club at a very young age! And she's an accomplished dancer as well. But the songs from the record here were for a different affect and it worked for over 10 million copies sold U.S.
As you listen to her voice there is a reason why this is a rare video, jive didn't want this released or else will hear her true voice. She sounds very beautiful and today she is leaning back to her real voice and mainly siniging with her high head voice and not so nasally. Truly they wanted her to lip sync when she was signed because she was still learning how to sing in that fake voice especially with baby one more time. I'm truly tired of people judging her and saying she can't you all don't know her story and how hard she worked to get to where she is. I will forever idolize her for the great things she has done in her career and the sacrifices her family made for her to go after her dream.
You had me until you said "her family" her family made her hard work to be in vain since they converted her unto a SLAVE. Every single one of her family members turned against her for MONEY
A great voice is the voice on the Mickey Mouse club. This voice here is struggling. Yes she did work hard as a child and she worked even harder to make up for her lack of vocal talent.bit if she really wanted to master her vocals that changed during puberty then she should’ve been working around the clock with a vocal coach to get it just right but instead she drank and smoked cigarettes
She doesn’t sound like a goddess she sound a mess but her confidence is on 10 the only thing missing was choreography. You could literally see her body begging to move but she kept restraining herself
The moments she naturally returns to her natural singing voice sounds really good but way too mature for bubble gum pop. you can see her. singing conflict forcing to sound that way
Some of you are forgetting that this showcase was *after* Britney had been vocally trained to sing in her baby voice. If you watch videos of her singing before she ever signed her record deal, you'll find that her voice was absolutely amazing. It was huge, powerful, professionally trained from her musical theatre background, and good enough to be compared with Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey. Just saying.
no one compares to Mariah and Whitney, but there's a reason Britney has always cited both as influence. And you can hear why even on her baby voice. Whatever she was doing with the baby voice was NOT EASY and it was super GOOD. Oops is one of her best vocal albums exactly because she perfectly the baby voice with the Mariah/Whitney melismas/vibratos. So yeah, originally her voice was meant to take them by front, but when she signed she switched strategies. Just saying there's nothing wrong with the approach Britney took to singing (except restraining a big voice into a small voice :/)
Rain Boom The problem with his voice is not that he lacks practice and evolution is that that baby voice is not his true voice. She can get to very sharp notes, but only with effort. His voice was originally deeper. If you heard her sing when was a child her voice was deeper than the voice with which we originally know her. The industry has always made her sing with a voice that is not hers. It is not lack of practice is that he has sung with a false voice all his career
I'm her biggest fan and I understand why she rarely sings live. I would want to have a Britney album with songs that are less pop/techno dance and just focus on her voice ☺
Honey there is no voice. She can barely sustain even the most basic notes. Britney and her team knows her strengths and her vocals is definitely not one of them. We’re at a point in her career where even autotuned studio vocals don’t sound to good.
@@nosecandie3890 oh really boi for you to come and see this vid in which i commented years back proves your r so damn stuck up with Britney btch ahaha u r such a frekin loser.i bet this what quarantine did to u ah. asskisser
@@nosecandie3890 stfu people watching this video, the overwhelming majority love her voice on this video. You’re a disgusting hater on all of her videos, it’s so unhealthy. Seek help you misery, go watch beyonka steal some writing credits and chicken dance to her playback. If you hate Britney so much, don’t watch. Freak.
She has always said that she isn't a great singer, but she really feels the music. That she loves the way singing makes her feel and above this she iIS an acceptable singer. The thing is that to be a pop star voice isn't everything and Britney has the appeal that not even Madonna has. The charisma, the charm. And don''t let me start talking about her dance movements, she was REALLY good.
She’s the one person who is not family or friends that I truly love and adore...hope she gets nothing but peace and happiness in her life! Thank you for everything princess ❤️✨
When I saw her BOMT Tour live she sang live and when she sang OPEN ARMS she blew the crowd away! I'll never forget! Everyone was saying how talented of a singer she was! She gave me the chills!!
Her voice is damaged now, but in 1998 it was not. I mean, THIS is really good, better than most popstars. She was an amazing singer and dancer, she had it all.
in the circus tour live singing a song and it sounded so incredible that your comment is x, if britney does not sing live for something will not talk to basics because we have them
Sam Samson Don't be so biased tho. She sings really good here, it shows that the girl didn't get her record deal & her huge career for nothing. She had the voice, the dancing, the charisma, everything a performer could dream of
I’m pretty sure I heard somewhere that she basically went on this tour alone. Like she obviously had a couple people from her team but it wasn’t the whole ensemble.
This is so natural.. I love it.. I wish they didn't mess around with artists voices the way they do. It's so lovely to hear her natural voice with so much emotion in it..love it 💖💖
She really is reminiscent of her younger self in the MM Club. A huge amount of fame for such a young girl. So sad to see her now, with the cryptic posts and 12-year conservatorship. Just makes you think what awful things happened to her whilst so young in the music industry.
This video was created in 1998 before she rocked BABY ONE MORE TIME. even so she was performing baby one more time songs in some malls of the United States. She was performing making promotion to her Album. I think so. And in this video she sung live from start to ending. It is really clear Haters you can notice she is singing live? What can you say about this?? No autotune No lip sync
I admire her courage and confidence to stand on her own and put herself out there to make her dream a reality. Even before she became famous you could just see she was oozing with that X factor. She’s just always had that star quality.
she´s not the best vocalist, but she has a very unique voice and she can sing, and plus she has the performer factor, for that she is GODNEY SPEARS GOD DAMN IT I LOVE HER.
@@nicoleymacaroni actually, You're dismissed so that you can go get some help for your self. I mean that with love and consideration.

@@ookipuki I mean, God is eternal. We were told not to use His name in vain. It doesn’t matter what year it is on earth, that’s kind of what makes God so special. That being said, the OP can say whatever they want on TH-cam, and with the exception of the “Godney Spears” bit (Britney would have worked just fine,) I agree with everything they said.
First time I have ever seen her use a handheld mic for Baby one more time! She does pretty well live. You can tell she wants to do her choreography lol she keeps trying to do it.
+Rob Smith Nope, she's quite off key and sings in her natural deep voice trying so bad to sound like her famous "chipmunk" effect. This must be real live. Nowadays her voice is so destroyed that she can't even sing like that anymore.
It's a shame that she wasn't allowed to own the lower register. It could have been a unique selling point, like it has been for so many other women (Toni Braxton, Anita Baker, Etta James, Tboz from TLC, Mutya Buena, Lana Del Rey...)
I really believe Britney always needed to lypsinc and you know what? Her voice is too good to go along with what's recorded on studio. Wow! Such a talent.
What a lucky audience
They hv no idea how lucky they r at the time. Lol.

Poor Brit... so alto so alto, and they made her sing in a soprano tone. RIP the beautiful rich tone, killed by the high pitched singing
I've been in that position. I tried to force myself to be a first soprano for years, settled with second soprano...but I was really an alto. Not smart.
The term alto is just a choir term that shouldn't be used outside of it.

Everything else was perfect. The perfect package. And she was also lucky to start her career with Max Martin. All those hits from him got her to superstardom.
a singer above average? hahahahahahahaha no way.
Good singer, Good performer with amazing pop hits.
I like her image and songs but let's not exagerate.
Madonna is the true pop star. Britney can't sing and dance the same time like Madonna, in 2001, at 43 years: th-cam.com/video/e4HHa7MmX3U/w-d-xo.html
Helga Fever nobody mentioned britney being better than madonna. Anyway they’re completely different type of entertainers
I hope someday Britney reads our comments when she's finally free and see this video reminding her how great she is.
Only true Britney fans can appreciate this. look how innocent Brit Brit was back then, she's been through life's struggles but look at her now. 150 million albums sold, multiple #1 singles , an A list celebrity , star ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME, a world known brand, multiple awards, Las Vegas RESIDENCY , millions of loyal fans, a loving family, two beautiful kids and still going strong. Iconic is what she is.
Dude educate yourself, beautiful family?? She also hates being famous, it’s what people like you think matters but it honestly doesn’t
Loving family ?! They were the ones who wanted her girl to be famous NO MATTER the sacrifices ! They sold her again and again until now there’s no more passion in her for music only obligations by the contracts HER FATHER signs in her name ! That’s an opportunistic family and management ! There are so many great artists that ended up destroyed or dead inside because they’ve been sold out !
I will always love and appreciate the Britney with whom i grew up until the « switch » that took place after the Blackout album. It’s not her anymore and she’ll never be :( God bless her for making my adolescence nicer and for the memories i have listening to her songs.
😍😍😍🤗
@Robin Amarnia What are you talking about?
This comment sure didn't age well!
"Sometimes" is underrated. It really showcased her voice well.
She really did start from the bottom. It sucks how much the industry changed her and how they stripped away her natural talent/voice and made her sound so bubble gum pop. Had she stuck to her true voice she could have been a really great singer. They focused more on her as a performer/dancer than an actual singer. I'd love to hear her just singing around the house with her natural voice and not the bubblegum pop voice. I'm sure she can still sound pretty decent.
she didn't start from the bottom. She was famous and was on tv as a kid.
Being famous and on tv as a kid still doesn't mean you were on top. DO. YOU. SEE. THIS. PERFORMANCE?! lol Take this to where she is now.. Bottom, TOP.
+Dustin Guillotte I agree, back then you had to actually WORK to get anywhere in the music industry but now someone can get discovered online thus we have the abomination known as Justin Bieber.
BOMT Is probably the most successful debut song of all time so she really started on top
Exactly the technology and microphone changed it, she has a great voice, why I love from the beginning.
She had NO IDEA how her world was about to change forever and just how famous she was about to become
Her voice was ruined by baby voice but we can't deny the fact that the baby voice created a huge impact in her career amidst the bad effects that it had for her voice. Her voice is really hard to imitate, both her deep and baby voice- those are her alone.
Yea if she only had the time to practice both, but fame took all her time...
Not only was her own rent due... but her family, friends and community’s rents were due.
She had to sing for everybody in order to survive! and she in full after this performance
This is the REAL BRITNEY...her lower voice is deep and powerful but sad coz people around her and label JIVE hide this talent, remember guys ORIGINAL DOLL unreleased album thats the album she want to show the real her, she goes to RADIO station and want MONA LISA played without permission of JIVE and that day we here that single after that we never heard again and the album vanished, then her comes the breakdown era which she REBEL she lost herself and think no ONE BELIEVE her..but after that dark times she try to get back and find herself again with the help of her family and her fans who been there for her. to all HATERS you guys are educated person if you dont like her as an artist atlist give her a RESPECT as a human being. god bless us
What? Britney was electroshocked? How do u know? I really miss her, I will always support her, but I want her back. It seems like something changed her and I wish I could help to get the original brit
You’re right this is the real Britney but unfortunately there was nothing powerful about her vocals here. She simply vocalized her voice to make it louder but there was no resonance there. Jive wasn’t trying to hide her talents Jive was trying to hide her deteriorating vocals which is understandable when you’ve invested money in an artist who is losing their vocal ability as they matured. I’ve listened to “original doll”
And unfortunately there were no hits within that body of work and any smart company is not about risk destroying the product they invested in by releasing such an album. She was blessed for a record company to give her a chance when the risk was so high which is why i assume they put her on that temporary contract.
She wants you to know: Shes been cloned shes been cloned shes been cloned
#DonaldMarshall
@@nosecandie3890 Even with her OG vocals on 'Original Doll', it would've been compromised by years of a singing almost in falsetto with a strained and shrunken tessitura (thank Max Martin and the handful of engineers on her records), also she's been smoking since early-2002.
I don't think she can't sing, I just think they took a natural unique voice and screwed with it too much. She sounds better than I ever could lol plus a lot of star appeal.
get your ears cleaning my cat sings better
+Chris chris I'm sure mine can too, never said she was a phenomenal singer...
Chris, I think you're deaf as shit. She has such a unique and strong voice. Those falsettos and ad-lips in Sometimes? You think they're easy to do? I mean, those are some amazing shits!
I agree with +Chris chris ... sorry, but britney cannot sing poor thing.
Typical hater. Nothing else to say. How can anyone (who is neither deaf or a hater) say pre-2001 Britney coould not sing? She used to fucking slay! Maybe not technical, but naturally good, deep, powerful and unique voice + great natural vibratto.
1998 in Singapore has finally leaked! Watch our beautiful girl do her thing
her first performance 🥺
her deep voice is so fucking beautiful and pleasant... so fucking unfair how her natural register was ruined
Gosh she sounded so mature for a 16 year old! Getting chills watching this.
Mature? I wouldnt say that. She sounds like teen since she was a teen till today…
@@sensitivity7207 stupid comment
@@epm_8896 so why did you post it?
Sadly this was her career peak
Her voice got worse and it never came back
@@DanielSong39 her career peak was around 2002/2004
Whatever the "X factor" is that makes someone stand out with star quality, Britney has not only always had it, but she had it in abundance. She is simply mesmerising to watch. For a period she was one of the most beautiful women in history.
Wow, girl can sing....
+Rob Smith are you deaf?
+Rob Smith no artist sings all parts of a pop songs. and her voice is made louder then the recording so whats your point.
+Rob Smith
all pop singers sing over a track except very few. and that doesnt change the fact her voice is live here.
+Rob Smith what the hell are you talking about. her voice.. her singing at this moment is fucking live. who gives a fuck if she is singing over a track. she needed the music and backup vocals. this is a low budget preformance. she couldnt have backup singers there. and britney is a different preformer then adele. adele is a singer britney is an entertainer. and by your definition of live you still act as if britney has never sung live.
+Rob Smith
Adele would be, if she could. I mean look at her.
Who is watching 7yrs later? This is a gem
It's about time if not the perfect time to show she actually has a voice. Her voice is so unique and beautiful!! I wish the record company never changed the way she sings!!!
the baby voice killed her natural alto register 😢😢😢
but she's talented and worked as a vocal actress for over 2 decades. it requires talents and ranges to impersonate baby voices and Brit has got talent
suck my pussy y'all i dont think her natural voice is totally gone. she used it when she covered let's give them something 2 talk about at one of her vegas shows last year & in perfume too
Yall. LOVE her but she does not sound good here. No need to pretend like she does. Watch it on .75 speed and you can hear her voice clearly separate from the track
Ruben i
'You Got It All' - she ended me. WHAT A VOICE
It's sad to see this... remember her good times and what she could be doing vocally today. Her voice was so much deeper, stronger than the helium voice we have nowadays
You can tell she's struggling singing in that baby voice while trying to maintain her natural voice. But loved her ad-libs
Her baby voice made her very popular.
This is the first time I've ever heard her sing, "You Got It All Over" live. Her voice has always been limited, but I absolutely loved it for everything it was. She shines brightly here-- this is definitely a diamond in the rough. Her live vocals are excellent and the backing track is sure to never drown her out. I'm so proud of her and everything she has accomplished in her career. It's been wonderful to watch her success over almost two decades now. While Britney is currently a shell of her former self, I will always find enjoyment from looking back on her earliest performances. From an old fan; good luck Britney! Congratulations on everything you are today. Humble beginnings, for sure.
Caparazón?? Tu muy mal 👎👎👎 Britney ed gloriosa hoy, mañana y siempre.
Not so limited! She was a huge singing talent on Mickey Mouse Club at a very young age! And she's an accomplished dancer as well. But the songs from the record here were for a different affect and it worked for over 10 million copies sold U.S.
I'm always alarmed by getting likes on comments in notifications for Utube videos that never show on video itself!
I can't believe this is the first performance ever of "...Baby one more time" and "Sometimes"😍 She was only 16 years old! OMFG! This is BEAUTIFUL!💖🎤
She. Was. 16. Oh my god she´s so talented, her voice is everything
I hope she looks back at this and is proud. We love you, Britney.
1998 BRITNEY MAKES ME WANNA CRY AND SMILE SIMULTANEOUSLY I LOVE THIS😍😍😍
You took the feelings right out of me! Ugh!
Same!
That original Sometimes intro arrangement. So 90's, I love it.
As you listen to her voice there is a reason why this is a rare video, jive didn't want this released or else will hear her true voice. She sounds very beautiful and today she is leaning back to her real voice and mainly siniging with her high head voice and not so nasally. Truly they wanted her to lip sync when she was signed because she was still learning how to sing in that fake voice especially with baby one more time. I'm truly tired of people judging her and saying she can't you all don't know her story and how hard she worked to get to where she is. I will forever idolize her for the great things she has done in her career and the sacrifices her family made for her to go after her dream.
Her family? Umm I don’t really understand who u referred but her dad definitely didn’t do any sacrifices 😳
You had me until you said "her family" her family made her hard work to be in vain since they converted her unto a SLAVE. Every single one of her family members turned against her for MONEY
She has great voice and was born to dance. She worked hard since she was a child to achieve it all she has today and it's well deserved.
A great voice is the voice on the Mickey Mouse club. This voice here is struggling. Yes she did work hard as a child and she worked even harder to make up for her lack of vocal talent.bit if she really wanted to master her vocals that changed during puberty then she should’ve been working around the clock with a vocal coach to get it just right but instead she drank and smoked cigarettes
@@nosecandie3890йй❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You can see the spark in her eyes, and she sounds like the Goddess she is. This is giving me all the feels.
She doesn’t sound like a goddess she sound a mess but her confidence is on 10 the only thing missing was choreography. You could literally see her body begging to move but she kept restraining herself
This is truly a spearitual experience. I'm blessed. Amen Britney Spears.
The moments she naturally returns to her natural singing voice sounds really good but way too mature for bubble gum pop.
you can see her. singing conflict forcing to sound that way
Exactly! You can tell she struggled to have the small sultry whispering voice that they made her have. It's so sad!
pakman54321 they're truly robbed her of her identity and someone people didn't take seriously.
She can just make regular pop music but ok
Some of you are forgetting that this showcase was *after* Britney had been vocally trained to sing in her baby voice. If you watch videos of her singing before she ever signed her record deal, you'll find that her voice was absolutely amazing. It was huge, powerful, professionally trained from her musical theatre background, and good enough to be compared with Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey. Just saying.
yes..a lot of people forget that..britney just sang "something to talk about" in her real voice and it's amazing!!
no one compares to Mariah and Whitney, but there's a reason Britney has always cited both as influence. And you can hear why even on her baby voice. Whatever she was doing with the baby voice was NOT EASY and it was super GOOD. Oops is one of her best vocal albums exactly because she perfectly the baby voice with the Mariah/Whitney melismas/vibratos.
So yeah, originally her voice was meant to take them by front, but when she signed she switched strategies. Just saying there's nothing wrong with the approach Britney took to singing (except restraining a big voice into a small voice :/)
We know idiot it was 1998
@@nicoleymacaroni ok ugly
Compare to xtina is yes but mariah? A no no too farr
She should have continued working on her voice. This is live.
She would've the record label told her to sing the way we recognize her now.
Rain Boom The problem with his voice is not that he lacks practice and evolution is that that baby voice is not his true voice. She can get to very sharp notes, but only with effort. His voice was originally deeper. If you heard her sing when was a child her voice was deeper than the voice with which we originally know her. The industry has always made her sing with a voice that is not hers. It is not lack of practice is that he has sung with a false voice all his career

Who came here to see the full performance after watching the clip from Britney’s instagram??
This is rare. If this was a "showcase" means she was playing for industry people. Plus last song she sings is a cover. But great find.
I'm her biggest fan and I understand why she rarely sings live. I would want to have a Britney album with songs that are less pop/techno dance and just focus on her voice ☺
Honey there is no voice. She can barely sustain even the most basic notes. Britney and her team knows her strengths and her vocals is definitely not one of them. We’re at a point in her career where even autotuned studio vocals don’t sound to good.

I love when she sings live, her real voice is so beautiful ❤️
She’s an angel and we don’t deserve her. I hope one day she is 100% happy even if we don’t get any more music from her. ❤️
She has always said that she isn't a great singer, but she really feels the music. That she loves the way singing makes her feel and above this she iIS an acceptable singer. The thing is that to be a pop star voice isn't everything and Britney has the appeal that not even Madonna has. The charisma, the charm. And don''t let me start talking about her dance movements, she was REALLY good.
Look Taylor Swift is huge yet she can't dance, her voice, songs and looks are average ..guess you don't need talent but Britney was talented
She’s the one person who is not family or friends that I truly love and adore...hope she gets nothing but peace and happiness in her life! Thank you for everything princess ❤️✨
They sure exploited her didn't they, poor girl.
Still are. Conservatorship is in practice slavery.

“you got it all” was the only song that she sounds similar to the original recording. One of my favs actually
OMFGodney "You Got It All" slayed me so hard 😭😭😍😍😍
this amazing since there were no back up vocalists and so on! SHE CAN SING
Her voice is damaged now, but in 1998 it was not. I mean, THIS is really good, better than most popstars. She was an amazing singer and dancer, she had it all.
in the circus tour live singing a song and it sounded so incredible that your comment is x, if britney does not sing live for something will not talk to basics because we have them
How can you say her voice was horrible in 1998? I enjoy her childhood and teenage voice way more than Christina Aguilera's one.
Sam Samson Don't be so biased tho. She sings really good here, it shows that the girl didn't get her record deal & her huge career for nothing. She had the voice, the dancing, the charisma, everything a performer could dream of
+Sam C she was totally off key during bomt. It was NOT good.
Gosh! Her real voice is so beautiful! 😍 it's such a shame she doesn't she keeps doing the baby voice.
I’m pretty sure I heard somewhere that she basically went on this tour alone. Like she obviously had a couple people from her team but it wasn’t the whole ensemble.
A privilege to witness her like this, thanks for sharing
This is so beautiful! It almost makes me cry.

This is the best comment
This is so natural.. I love it.. I wish they didn't mess around with artists voices the way they do. It's so lovely to hear her natural voice with so much emotion in it..love it 💖💖
She really is reminiscent of her younger self in the MM Club. A huge amount of fame for such a young girl. So sad to see her now, with the cryptic posts and 12-year conservatorship. Just makes you think what awful things happened to her whilst so young in the music industry.
This video was created in 1998 before she rocked BABY ONE MORE TIME. even so she was performing baby one more time songs in some malls of the United States. She was performing making promotion to her Album. I think so. And in this video she sung live from start to ending. It is really clear
Haters you can notice she is singing live? What can you say about this??
No autotune
No lip sync
I admire her courage and confidence to stand on her own and put herself out there to make her dream a reality. Even before she became famous you could just see she was oozing with that X factor. She’s just always had that star quality.
Britney voice is unique...her tone and the way she sings...its very calming to my ear...
she´s not the best vocalist, but she has a very unique voice and she can sing, and plus she has the performer factor, for that she is GODNEY SPEARS GOD DAMN IT I LOVE HER.

+Rob Smith Nope, she's quite off key and sings in her natural deep voice trying so bad to sound like her famous "chipmunk" effect. This must be real live. Nowadays her voice is so destroyed that she can't even sing like that anymore.
I agree but as for Britney it is "live". ;)
There's more than one song. :P
ok now i can die freely
She had a very distinct natural voice. Similar to Gwen Stefani in that you know it’s them. It’s too bad she didn’t focus more on vocals.
The greatest female pop vocalist and performer of all time, in my highly subjective opinion. I'm so lucky to have heard her. ❤
The legendary miss Britney spears ❤🔥
I'm in love with her voice and her dress!! It's so pretty!
It's a shame that she wasn't allowed to own the lower register. It could have been a unique selling point, like it has been for so many other women (Toni Braxton, Anita Baker, Etta James, Tboz from TLC, Mutya Buena, Lana Del Rey...)
I really believe Britney always needed to lypsinc and you know what? Her voice is too good to go along with what's recorded on studio. Wow! Such a talent.
I grew up with her song but this is new to me... Her voice here is more natural and she seems more amazing..
It's weird to see her not dancing. Love you Britney!
It's 2019 and I'm loving every minute of this
Things like this has no price in life. Love Britney forever
I listen to this and get so sad thinking about how her natural was so good and powerful. These were some of her best live performances
That "let goooo" part in 9:35-36 is melting my soul! Yasssss girl!
Yes! I agree I LOVE that song and her voice in it is so beautiful so melodic. I always loved her vocal on that track too :)
Listening to her sing "You Got It All" was wonderful. She is so wonderful.
I love the way she sings the words one more time in Baby one more time here.
The nostalgia! We were mere kids and would mess up these lyrics. She was on top of the world back then; even in a place like Mizoram.
She was just starting out. She didn't blow up until 1999.
Such a beautiful voice she has 🤍 so young and yet not to be destroyed by her team and family :( love her! #FreeBritney 🤍
