Listen: Britney Spears without auto-tune sounds REALLY different

An audio track of Britney Spears singing without auto-tune was leaked online today and boy, does she sound different!

If you’ve ever thought that Britney Spears’ tracks were made up of more auto-tuning than singing, then you HAVE to listen to this track that was leaked online today.

It features Britney singing along to her track “Alien” from last year’s “Britney Jean” album and without the auto-tuning she sounds a LOT more lacklustre than the Britney we normally hear.

Of course, critics and fans alike are now questioning how much of the real Britney we ever really hear at all and whether she’s worth the millions she rakes in on music royalties every year.

Producer William Orbit was quick to jump to her defence though, claiming that the recording was made as Britney was warming up and that “Whomever put this on the internet must have done so in a spirit of unkindness”.

In a post on his Facebook page, Orbit wrote: “Warming up is essential if you’re a pro, as it is with a runner doing stretches, and it takes a while to do properly. I’ve heard all manner of sounds emitted during warmups. The point is that it is not supposed to be shared with millions of listeners.”

So perhaps we should cut Britney some slack – after-all, as Orbit puts it: “Britney is and always will be beyond Stellar! She is magnificent! And that’s that.”
