Girl had some talent. 1:23 when she finishes Judy Garland's "I Don't Care", she holds that vibrato the entire time. And she was a child. Very impressive.
Her voice coach made her train her voice to become more nasally and high pitched thinking it'd be better. He didn't do his job right, he broke her. She's still great, I still love her music, but she would have been so much better if her coach had just let her use her natural voice rather than what we hear on the radio.
CR GAYMER they changed it in editing speeding it up to make a trademark that’s why she never sings live cus she can’t do the baby voice it’s all fake she has such an amazing natural voice
Britney can sing, she always has been able to. I wish she would record an album of her natural voice and sing live. It’s in her. It’s all down to her record company making her sing the baby voice
britney spears has been taught to sing nasally and high pitched thats why she cant do live songs cause its a struggle to replicate live...her going thru puberty did not make her voice change if thats the case her voice shouldve been light then deep sounding..i wish people would do research on stuff instead of posting nonsense answers..she never has lost her ability to sing..examples of this are "let go" and "baby boy" also "silent night 1996" ..she can sing DUHH!!
***** she didn't want to change her singing style but it has to do with jive records wanting her to sound unique but that has made people discredit her talent that she really has because of this bad technique..
***** I guess she is versatile,people that have the soulful sound to their voice can do some good rock 'n roll and bluesy type stuff with their songs she can do that....listen to love to love you that she sung and she can do some latin influenced stuff and she did a clear strong belt in that song too..
i love all her voices, they are all unique and unexpected. while people like carrie underwood and christina were developing their voices, britney was already singing like they do today. Britney is extremely blessed to have the voice that she has today, cause nobody can sing like she did in this video for the rest of their lives. you people can keep complaining about her voices, but all of them are very beautiful and timeless.
Wow, this makes me sad for her. I wish she had the right people on her team to cultivate her talent and give her more age-appropriate material to sing. Her voice was shot before she ever made it big, but it WAS there...
once upon a time she sang live AND hit notes with passion. now she struggles to hit notes at times, and everyone says she cannot sing. she can PERFORM, SING AND INSPIRE. this video proves it.... now she just needs some of that old confidence back.
"aguilera style" is a singing technique that plenty of singers use/have used and Britney was using it before Christina was Christina. Just because an artist adapts a singing technique as their signature style it doesn't mean it's theirs.
Oh my, I never, and I mean NEVER thought of Britney Spears as an actual singer. More of an entertainer/performer like Rihanna. But this...! Her tragedy was worse than I thought Dx. She's still awesome though.
I love her voice and I like both voices. This is more emotional and strong. I wish she had her strong voice now! But I still LOVE her singing. She's so talented. I think she should sing a bit more like that like Beyoncé. Beyoncé has a strong voice but she's still singing songs like Britney now. I LOVE U Britney!!! Ur talented!! Whoah!!
Wow! Awesome different vid clips young Britney Spears singing. Love the section at 2:30 into the vid - looks like so many of the family church concerts I went too - complete with crying baby in the background. Love the attention grabbing growl that Britney in her tweens inserted into her performance. Thanks for a great vid.
joseph adel . Her label didn't lie to her. Britney has sold far more records and concerts than Christina will ever sell. Record companies are about making money, not just art. In the beginning Diana Ross really didn't have the best voice of The Supremes. She sounded like forks on a plate. But once the producers asked her to lower the pitch and new writers and producers started working with them, they had hits. Diana was ooozing with charisma compared to the other two, and she was also a piercing, tinny soprano. This made her standout
@cgm0 actually she STILL can sing like that but she just doesn't use it she used to use it at her first 3 albums but at In the Zone album ... that's when she changed her music style ,a style that doesn't need strong voice at all and she continued with that style till today but she made a song called' He's a bout to lose me" it's at the Femme Fatale album ... at that song she SING ! without auto tune ,with her real deep voice ,listen to it
People need to stfu , stop saying she sucks cuz she dosnt , her talent is actually crazy amazing , she CAN sing .. so get over yourself .. Iv been to 2 concerts & she's unbelievable -3 she actually did sing live , stop giving up on her & actually sit there & listen .. cuz she CAN sing
Singing form your throat like that at age 9 can seriously damage/change your adult singing/talking voice. ESPECIALLY without a vocal coach which she didn't have.
My opinion is that she was the best Singer as a KID... better then beyonce , xtina, rihanna,and all other... she had the strongest voice as a child... love her
For the last time.. Britney's voice did not changed.. is only because you guys are used to her fake baby voice which is used on her singles.. but look at her recent unreleased/raw vocals/demos. from blackout/femme fatale.. she still has a voice like that.
People get so caught up in hating the music that Britney makes that they lose sight and and turn their hatred toward her. It isn't that Britney can't sing, it's just that she chooses to make music that some people really dislike (or pretend to dislike). I wonder how many of the haters could sing like that when they were 10, 12, 15, 21, 25 years old!
i think it`s sad that people compare Brittany unfavourably to Christina, they were def on a par at this age, Brittany had the same potential and was just as good, she still is but has lost herself a little on the way :-(
It's BritNEY, not Brittany for fuck's sake. How can you click on a video called "Young Britney Spears singing" and still misspell her name? And besides, when she was a teen, her technique and singing was faw superior to what Christina's even been.
where are you going britney what happend in your voice i'm so sad and wana cry evreyday i see you old videos plz!!!!!!!come back again i want to see old britney and her smile.................
Listen to he about to lose me.. and you can tell her deep voice is still there...but she changes how she sings to sound more innocent and pop sounding.... and every genre youre gonna sing in a different style of voice
@any12u Actually I don't think it was actually her fault as to why her singing is the way it is now, nor was it because she was "afraid." I read somewhere that it was her producers and record label that manipulated her voice to be what it is now. When she first started on "...Baby One More Time" she was herself, but afterwards her label wanted to have the throaty, "innocent" sounding voice and they wanted to make that her signature sound so they made her sing that way. Sad huh??
@BritneyFanFeva I've noticed this too. We see only fragments of this voice, like in the demo 'let go' we start to hear that voice come out, and that song isn't too old :). I hope someday, she shows them all what shes got. :)
Let me explain it to you. The lower register is still the lower register NO MATTER THE COLOR OF THE VOICE. an F3 is still an F3 whether she does it with neutral tone or light colored baby voice. The baby voice is not a "nasally high register" (it doesn't make any sense anyway). The baby voice is a vocal tract configuration to lighten the color of her voice. It is day and night because it sounds different but it's still her voice. it's only the resonnance that is different.
@aphrogelle i agree, i think its her managment, and label, they want songs like 3, and all were its auto tuned or doesnt show of her real vocal talent cuz ppl dont excatly want to hear tht from britney, but some of her songs shes recorded show of her real vocal talent =)
@anxofarmesto, Exactly my thoughts. Ever since she's signed on to Jive, she's beeing using a higher register (the baby voice). But her natural register is low. But she's so trained to use the higher one, she may not still have that big voice. She may need coaching to get it back. But I wish she would use her natural voice more. It would certainly be one way to reinvigerate her career. And she would be able to sing live more. The way she's singing now is unnatural which makes it difficult live.
@HeresTheCircus Just because you don't see her a lot doesn't mean she hardly smokes. She doesn't go out a lot anymore, she probably still smokes like a chimney at home. The VOICE obviously isn't there anymore. Let Go, Rebellion and Baby Boy proves that she could still sing some blues/jazz in her low register but her powerful and soulful higher register is long gone. She obviously doesn't care cause if she did, she would've taken voice lessons to get her voice back.
@iiloveyyou1 NO, "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" is from her second album "Oops I Did It Again" I know that because I've been a Britney fan since her first album, which I remember and I've followed her career ever since then, and she doesn't have any songs that show off her voice, if she has any voice left... it's sad what she's become, she had so much potential
All the footage of her singing and dancing with Justin Timberlake is from MMC(mickey mouse club) in the mid to late 1990's. I used to watch Ryan Gossling, Britney, Justin, and Christina Aguilera way back when it aired on the Disney channel. It was an awesome TV show! They would sing, dance, and even act!
she can still sing like this...I think ppl say she cant just bc at concerts she has lip singed..well dancing around like she does she has to,,,or she would be out of breath there are plenty of her old songs that proves that she can sing..
Seriously, if not for the eyes, I won't have recognized this to be Britney. I loved how she sang when she was younger! I wish we could hear a little bit of that now.
she would've been a phenomenal singer 2day if she had continued to do soulful singing like this. Teen and gum pop stuff ruined her voice fully. or perhaps she still has it....i want her to release a soulful album this time and sing like this. She'll be standing with xtina as a vocalist then going neck 2 neck. just listen to her voice at 0.24, 1.02, 1.27, 1.55. what an amazing voice she has.....i luv britney....
queen
ricky. never thought id find you here
Uhhh.. hey Ricky xD
Hi Ricky wait how did u get here
Ricky Dillon shut up u idiot
bohemy raphsody
Girl had some talent. 1:23 when she finishes Judy Garland's "I Don't Care", she holds that vibrato the entire time. And she was a child. Very impressive.
Its really sad watch this, britney changed completely her voice to be just a product, really sad
Her voice coach made her train her voice to become more nasally and high pitched thinking it'd be better. He didn't do his job right, he broke her. She's still great, I still love her music, but she would have been so much better if her coach had just let her use her natural voice rather than what we hear on the radio.
Cristiano Rodrigues maybe she did it to be happy
oh sure shed been so happy
@@skyemyers9125 I agree!
CR GAYMER they changed it in editing speeding it up to make a trademark that’s why she never sings live cus she can’t do the baby voice it’s all fake she has such an amazing natural voice
poor Brittney. just a little girl here, shoved into the industry so young.
Greedy parents
Ursula stole her voice
hahahaaaahaaa!!
M Noguera ahawwe😞😞😭😞😞
Polina JestemOfficial. Sea witch from The Little Mermaid.
Maybe you right 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 the cmt of the day
She used to be so talented, her voice was so damn good. It WAS. :(
holy crap she's great! what happened!?
Hollywood happend......
Lol hahaha you're funny
the industry wanted to change her voice so they forced and trained her to sing like the baby voice she has and now she can't go back to this
The guy she was working for trained her to sing in the "baby" voice which destroyed her vocal chords in the long run
jive happened
Britney can sing, she always has been able to. I wish she would record an album of her natural voice and sing live. It’s in her. It’s all down to her record company making her sing the baby voice
before they made her voice sound a baby
I want to redirect people who say she can't sing to this video
morw turty she can't sing tho
She could but not anymore or for the past 20 years
morw turty I wonder what happened to her. It's like they forced her to sing in a crappy baby voice and she damaged her vocal chords
it was a vocal famous coach who suggested her so do the baby voice, she should sue him
morw turty take the TH-cam link above press copy find ppl you know and press paste
She's an amazing singer her whole life!!!
Wow!! Her range and growl are amazing!
1:56 wow that's an impressive high note
britney spears has been taught to sing nasally and high pitched thats why she cant do live songs cause its a struggle to replicate live...her going thru puberty did not make her voice change if thats the case her voice shouldve been light then deep sounding..i wish people would do research on stuff instead of posting nonsense answers..she never has lost her ability to sing..examples of this are "let go" and "baby boy" also "silent night 1996" ..she can sing DUHH!!
***** she didn't want to change her singing style but it has to do with jive records wanting her to sound unique but that has made people discredit her talent that she really has because of this bad technique..
***** I guess she is versatile,people that have the soulful sound to their voice can do some good rock 'n roll and bluesy type stuff with their songs she can do that....listen to love to love you that she sung and she can do some latin influenced stuff and she did a clear strong belt in that song too..
she can't sing the baby voice any more tho
Jive destroyed her voice
i love all her voices, they are all unique and unexpected. while people like carrie underwood and christina were developing their voices, britney was already singing like they do today. Britney is extremely blessed to have the voice that she has today, cause nobody can sing like she did in this video for the rest of their lives. you people can keep complaining about her voices, but all of them are very beautiful and timeless.
Yes, she was, and is basically a prodigy. InCREDible, phenomenal talent.
Honestly I just thought she has very little talent, now I understand what really happened. She really was very talented and had a beautiful voice
I loved her voice more when it was lower, soda pop is a song from het first album she sing it with her natural low singing voice
Liefke knol Sodapop a hardcore classic
Wow, this makes me sad for her. I wish she had the right people on her team to cultivate her talent and give her more age-appropriate material to sing. Her voice was shot before she ever made it big, but it WAS there...
once upon a time she sang live AND hit notes with passion. now she struggles to hit notes at times, and everyone says she cannot sing.
she can PERFORM, SING AND INSPIRE. this video proves it.... now she just needs some of that old confidence back.
0:58 always cracks me the fuck up 😝😝😝😝
ikr? the eyes tho
now that you've pointed out i can't unsee it
its called having IT. She clearly had IT. its being an amazing performer, dancer, and yes she could obviously sing.
people have sympathy for britney because she's a great person, i dont know her, but a lot of artists loves her because of her nice personality.
this is the britney i like, the one that always gives her all. in all the songs she sings here, you can tell how much effort she's giving in.
She had the aguilera style
that was verry usual that time
maryam aljssmi yeah. but Aguilera dont had the Britney style :)
"aguilera style" is a singing technique that plenty of singers use/have used and Britney was using it before Christina was Christina. Just because an artist adapts a singing technique as their signature style it doesn't mean it's theirs.
crojalwol chiillllll. she made it more famous thats all xD since that style was so usual they trained her to sing like a baby
maryam aljssmi you spelled nasal all wrong.
she was an awesome performer at such a young age... i wonder how many people who looked at this little girl and saw a rising star
Oh my, I never, and I mean NEVER thought of Britney Spears as an actual singer. More of an entertainer/performer like Rihanna. But this...! Her tragedy was worse than I thought Dx. She's still awesome though.
#FreeBritney This poor girl never had anybody--just nobody looking out for her best interests
I love her voice and I like both voices. This is more emotional and strong. I wish she had her strong voice now! But I still LOVE her singing. She's so talented. I think she should sing a bit more like that like Beyoncé. Beyoncé has a strong voice but she's still singing songs like Britney now. I LOVE U Britney!!! Ur talented!! Whoah!!

Britney forever
She was amazing when she was little! She didn't have her nasal singing and she put forth more soul in her singing.
@cgm0
actually she STILL can sing like that but she just doesn't use it
she used to use it at her first 3 albums but at In the Zone album ... that's when she changed her music style ,a style that doesn't need strong voice at all and she continued with that style till today
but she made a song called' He's a bout to lose me" it's at the Femme Fatale album ... at that song she SING ! without auto tune ,with her real deep voice ,listen to it
She could have been the biggest star ever.
she was the biggest star ever in the early 2000s.
Um, she was. And she still has two albums on the 100 best-selling of all time list. Two. I'd say she's done OK.
People need to stfu , stop saying she sucks cuz she dosnt , her talent is actually crazy amazing , she CAN sing .. so get over yourself .. Iv been to 2 concerts & she's unbelievable -3 she actually did sing live , stop giving up on her & actually sit there & listen .. cuz she CAN sing

My opinion is that she was the best Singer as a KID... better then beyonce , xtina, rihanna,and all other... she had the strongest voice as a child... love her
how cute!!!! she was a cute girl growing up & a pretty adult now.
For the last time.. Britney's voice did not changed.. is only because you guys are used to her fake baby voice which is used on her singles.. but look at her recent unreleased/raw vocals/demos. from blackout/femme fatale.. she still has a voice like that.
she clearly needs a live performance to retain her position as queen of pop
She will always be Princess of pop. No need to be queen as princess just better i love her
People get so caught up in hating the music that Britney makes that they lose sight and and turn their hatred toward her. It isn't that Britney can't sing, it's just that she chooses to make music that some people really dislike (or pretend to dislike).

why I love youtube / young Britney xoxoxo
she's so beautiful here=) I love britney
her voice is so powerful and thats comming from me
Hi Britney! ❤ your performance. You have my heart
i think it`s sad that people compare Brittany unfavourably to Christina, they were def on a par at this age, Brittany had the same potential and was just as good, she still is but has lost herself a little on the way :-(

Shane dawson anyone?
Ashir A me
Ashir A sane I’ve seen his vid
britney is awsome with or without her voice i love her! its not her voice that captivated me its her way of being and how bubbly she is :D
WHAT HAPPENED????????
The music industry.. :/
Domina Noctis her label jive didnt think her real voice would sound right 4 pop music so they trained her 2 sing in a baby voice
Her voice sounds so enchanting
Omg why can she sing like this anymore?! She sounds amazing here! Poor Britney
@any12u Actually I don't think it was actually her fault as to why her singing is the way it is now, nor was it because she was "afraid."

Her Voice !! Never Really knew that she had such a nice voice !!
Born to be a star for life.
ur so talent britney^^...i love you
@Daintytwinkletoes
nothing happened to her voice ,this voice is still in her but she just doesn't use it cuz her music style is different

The 20th Anniversary of those Star Search performances is coming up as Britney left for Star Search on December 7, 1991.
Awww this is very sweet! :)
Queen 😣❤️
This may well be the best vocal performance I´ve seen of Britney Spears.
Britney is the best!!!

She was great then and still is:)
but in our modern world today, anyone can be a singer even britney
@iiloveyyou1 NO, "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" is from her second album "Oops I Did It Again" I know that because I've been a Britney fan since her first album, which I remember and I've followed her career ever since then, and she doesn't have any songs that show off her voice, if she has any voice left... it's sad what she's become, she had so much potential
awwwwww britneyy sooo good back then. Now idk....still love her tho
she sings like a rockstar,absouluetly love it...
All the footage of her singing and dancing with Justin Timberlake is from MMC(mickey mouse club) in the mid to late 1990's. I used to watch Ryan Gossling, Britney, Justin, and Christina Aguilera way back when it aired on the Disney channel. It was an awesome TV show! They would sing, dance, and even act!
she sounds great!
Dam she could really sing,love her true deep voice, it's very unique when you add the britney factor in❤
briney really has perfect voice. i would be nice if she would do some of thoes classical songs to show off her voice.
0:51 gives me the goosebumps... what a voice
she can still sing like this...I think ppl say she cant just bc at concerts she has lip singed..well dancing around like she does she has to,,,or she would be out of breath there are plenty of her old songs that proves that she can sing..
OMG, she can sing so well!! :)
if she lost her voice when she grew up then she would never be a STAR and teens idol!!
she's my all-time fave she will always rocks no matter what!!!
wow!! I love britney
this is great! I never knew she could sing like this! :) :)
Wooow she was so amazing !!
Seriously, if not for the eyes, I won't have recognized this to be Britney. I loved how she sang when she was younger! I wish we could hear a little bit of that now.
she never changed!
WOW!!..britney's "vibrato" as a child was amazing!!..you hear it flawless at 1:26-1:37
she would've been a phenomenal singer 2day if she had continued to do soulful singing like this. Teen and gum pop stuff ruined her voice fully. or perhaps she still has it....i want her to release a soulful album this time and sing like this. She'll be standing with xtina as a vocalist then going neck 2 neck. just listen to her voice at 0.24, 1.02, 1.27, 1.55. what an amazing voice she has.....i luv britney....
Alright Britney Spears, start singing like this again and I'll be your #1 fan.
