Her singing sounds like what her dancing looks like.

As I sit here in the recording studio, the other engineer and I have been discussing this. We both agree it was an egregious lack of ethics on the part of whatever engineer leaked it.
The producer is absolutely right that long before serious work can be done, levels must be set, compressors and eq must be tweaked, etc.
Do not interpret this as pleading the case that Britney is an amazing singer. She is not. She is a very pretty girl that could be mass marketed to a public that was either too young to know any better, or thinks an mp3 sounds great. As far as her appeal goes, it begins with the red jumpsuit in the "Oops I did it again" video, and ends in the "Toxic" video.
But that doesn't matter at all. X-tina is arguably a better singer ( I don't like her but, she IS a better singer), but as I have said before on the forum, Brit's team has ALWAYS made better records for her.
The whole thing reeks of the Ashley Simpson debacle on SNL. It should surprise NO ONE. The sky is blue, water is wet, and the technology fails.

What's weird to me is that if you look at the old footage from Star Search, little Britney could carry a tune and had some skills.
Saying Christina Aguilera is the better singer is like saying the heads on Mt Rushmore are bigger and better than the phony presidential busts that you can buy at a gift store for $7.99.

I'm on my phone so please excuse the bad linking (I will fix it when I get home), but I can't believe no one has addressed this yet: www.intimatebritneyspears.com

Let the woman retire.

I'm surprised -- especially with the success her perfumes have had -- that they didn't go this route earlier. Maybe they were worried that she wouldn't be able to represent a line/company like Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba, Victoria Beckham, and others have? I mean, there is A LOT of money to be made in this kind of thing. More than tours...

Britney and her team break up with the boyfriend over his alleged cheating and no one comments on it. I'm shocked I say! Shocked! Not really. I seriously doubted they were having sex in the first place.

I know, man. I had forgotten that she was "dating" him.

I know, man. I had forgotten that she was "dating" him. I'm sure she did, too. The guy was a paid handler and he was fired because it doesn't look good to have a babysitter boyfriend fooling around on Britney. How many weeks before a new babysitter boyfriend emerges?

I don't have a problem believing that she has boyfriends. Just because someone is mentally ill doesn't mean that they can't have real relationships as long as they're properly medicated and have the right therapy.
Britney is a long way from the wandering the streets/bloody hot mess of years ago. Sure, she'll always need a caretaker, but I don't think that means that she isn't capable of dating and (gasp) having sex with men she likes/loves. This guy just turned out to be a user, and papa Spears found out pretty quickly, bought his sex tape, and ended that shit before it got worse. I think that first guy was probably a real boyfriend as well, and who knows why that didn't work. It's difficult to deal with mentally ill people sometimes, and not everyone is cut out for it. But I find it kind of insulting that every guy that gets near Britney is her babysitter, and she's walking around in some kind of hazy cloud and doesn't know it. The last I saw of her was X Factor, and while she was fragile, she was a long way from the gum popping, crying mess we saw of her before.
Note: My nephew is a schizophrenic, and he has had relationships. He lives with his parents and he's in his 30's ... and he likely always will live there until they're gone. But he also has met some lovely people who see beyond the illness and can have a relationship with the kind, sweet man that he is.
