Britney Keeps Making Major Progress!!!!

Filed under: Britney Spears

This is a beautiful thing!!!!

At her concert in Greensboro, NC, on Saturday night, Brit Brit debuted a new song on her Circus tour set list. She did a cover of Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know.

And she actually sang live!!!!!!!!

It was the first time she sang any song live during this whole tour!!!!!!

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Slowly but surely our beloved Brit Brit is rebuilding her confidence. And, hopefully, next tour there will be a lot more singing!

Check out Spears doing Morissette (above).

  6. 6

  7. 7

    go brit!!!!! wooo!!



  8. 8

    wow that was pretty good!!!!!! NICE JOB BRIT. KEEP SINGING! SHE ACTUALLY SOUNDED GOOD. you could deffinetly feel the hurt in her voice. while singing this song. it was nice



  9. 9

    Amazing:D



  10. 10

    I'm proud of Brit Brit yay!!



  11. 11

    BOW BOW BOW TO GODNEY!!!! SHE'S SO FUCKING AMAZING!



  12. 12

    all kidding aside, she did a DAMN good job and i'm not even fan. after tonight i have mad respect.



  13. 13

    fuckin awesome



  14. 14

    im so glad she sang live. plus she sounded AMAZING!!!!!!!



  15. 15

    hello there, mickey mouse voice…seriously: how can a mess like this be successfull??? wow, she sang live….for once. so what??



  16. 16

    Two relics for the price of one.



  17. 17

    Britney…sounded good while singing live and…didn't say the word f#ck even when the opportunity presented itself…I'm speechless



  18. 18

    i love britney…but that didnt sound live, it sounded like prerecorded "live" vocals



  19. 19

    I hope she keeps doing better and keeps singing live. When she's dancing all over the stage it affects her singing. I'd much rather she stand in one spot singing than lip sync.



  20. 20

    SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!

    I LUV THAT SONG AND I LUV BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ROCK IT BRITNEY!!



  21. 21

    I LOVE BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!



  22. 22

    That is awesome. Just awesome. I love it.



  23. 23

    I LOVED THIS PERFORMANCE



  24. 24

    How desperately sad is it, when the music listening public has to be GRATEFUL or HOPEFUL that someone MAY sing live at a LIVE performance? It shoud be a GIVEN!



  25. 25

    WOW and she sounds good despite the bad sound quality so proud!!!!



  26. 26

    AMAZING! and you can tell she sang live cuz first she fucks up the lyrics and says slap in the face 2 times. and then stop and starts over.



  27. 27

    bravo Brit!! :)



  28. 28

    Good for her! It's amazing what intervention can do! Go Brit-Brit!



  29. 29

    Keep at it girl!!!



  30. 30

    One of my favorite Alanis Morissette's songs.



  31. 31

    i may be all for Gaga but britney was my first celebrity obsession. i love her loadssssss and i wish she would sing born to make you happy on her tour, thats my all time fav britney song. :-)



  32. 32

    seeing this makes me so happy!! i hope she gets back to her best!!



  33. 33

    Hw she ever became so successful is beyond belief.



  34. 34

    Re: grace-e

    listen closely dumb TWAT

    ITS LIVE

    but nice that u think she sounds so good u would think its Pre-recorded HHAHAHAHAHAA



  35. 35

    BRITNEY SPEARS = LEGEND



  36. 36

    Anyone with any musical background, knows she can't sing or dance! She's average to say the least! Certainly not professionally trained! She does however, hire the right people! She sings LIVE ONCE out of her whole stupid tour and you give her props??? She should ALWAYS sing live at concerts! HELLO people are you kidding me? BTW, those of you that says she always sings live…she does NOT, "SHE" said so! I love how you write….hopefully in her next tour there will be more singing………that says enough! Why pay to go to a concert if the bitch doesn't sing! Call me a hater….I do HATE her stupid ass! I do have a music background though and she is certainly NOT talented!



  37. 37

    YOU GO Brit-Brit. Rock on bitch!!!



  38. 38

    IT'S ROCKNEY, BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  39. 39

    I'm so pissed off! She comes to London, doesn't sing a note, there were NO big screens, and she never sang this! Britney has jilted her British fan base - royal pain in the arse!



  40. 40

    Your kidding right? Obviously it's live…because she fucks up the lyrics a few times lol but I agree it's good that you think that she sounds so good that it's prerecorded…



  41. 41

    VERRRRRRRRRY NICE.



  42. 42

    Re: LauraLou – honey take a chill pill your gonna have a heartattack. and saying she cant dance is deffinetly wrong cosidering her dancing and her performances are what made her career. she is an amazing dancer. to figure that out all you have to do is look at some of performances from matm.slave etc. she studied dancing since she was a kid and was a gymnast. either way no need to be so negative.



  43. 43

    Love her!!!!!



  44. 44

    who cares about her singing look how hot she looks in those tight ass pants *jerks off*

  45. tron says – reply to this


    45

    She ruined the damn song!!!!.. Dear Britney YOU CAN'T SING.



  46. 46

    THIS was the first time she sang live on her circus tour? what some may see as "progress" I see as PATHETIC.
    Pls finish your joke of a career and wash up already.



  47. 47

    Re: tron – your obviously hating considering everyone is saying how good she sounded…. haters fall back



  48. 48

    AMAZING BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  49. 49

    WHAT A COPYING HO!!! Beyonce is performing that song on her i am tour currently. i agree its a great song but honestly, both playing the same song while their tours are at the same time… be more original brit



  50. 50

    way to murder a classic. No one should sing that except AM. Britney loox trailer trash here and my nieces could do a better show than that. shame shame shame.



  51. 51

    Re: SPICEBOY – you're the dumb twat you mingen mole. she sang live? she said the words half way through, up until 1 min spot it was alanais voice over….i wish i new you just so i could ram smash you to your ugly head. game on mole.



  52. 52

    Re: RandomOne – she is just singing like her those are not alanis vocals. god your an idiot.



  53. 53

    This is great. I just wish she had sung a different song live. Beyonce already does a cover of this at her I Am… Tour at tbf its 10 times better than this. This is still good but it is gonna get compared to Beyonce and really there is no comparison. But go Brit anyways!!!!!



  54. 54

    I must say that I am impressed. With the K-Fed lookalike prop onstage and her general attitude..she owned this! Who knew she could sing!? As a person with a general dislike of pop, I think it would be a great career mood to just cackle away and release this as a cover…and a VERY fitting one, may I add!



  55. 55

    i'm very happy!!!!! I never thought she would sing live again…



  56. 56

    wow! a "singer" who sings…fuck stupid bitch. go to work.



  57. 57

    Its RAW…LUV the raw….You can hear and feel the emotion in it….So, that makes it awesome. RAW….AM would like it…



  58. 58

    She was feeling it, too..Always a good thing..



  59. 59

    There is something wrong with the idea that we celebrate the only song actually sung at a concert.

    Seriously Mario, you should be calling her our all over the place of lip synicing her entire tour, but I guess putting you in the "warmup" video pretty much means your silence is purchased.



  60. 60

    A few things:

    1. I've never understood this thing about how she has zero talent. Her voice is weird but I love listening to it. So do about a zillion other people, which accounts for her album sales. Her dancing is what made her big. Every dancer friend I have agrees that she has chops.

    2. My dancer friends also agree that dancing full-out like she does pretty much makes it impossible for her to sing live.

    3. The audio on this clip doesn't do the performance justice. I was there last night, and she sounded pretty great. When the first chords of the song rang out we were all, "Dude, she's NOT going to cover that song, right? Surely." But she kind of rocked it the fuck out. By the end people were jumping around and pumping their fists and were really into it. Highlight of the night, man.

    4. Having been there last night, I got to see the Perez-as-Queen intro video. Terrifying. Hilarious. Fantastic. Nice job, Mario!



  61. 61

    i'm sorry but that sucked. brit, it's nice that you're singing live, but do it for YOUR OWN SONGS, not for great ones like this one that require talent to sing



  62. 62

    Lol please perez!

    she is singing live for ONE song. for the FIRST TIME on this tour!

    Doesn't that just show how ridiculous she is?!

    She is not up to par with the Beyonce's and Lady Gaga's who CAN sing live and put in some choreography and a good show!

    But yeah, atleast this is SOMETHING for Brit.



  63. 63

    She sings Everytime live, cause some girls I know went to see her, and came back the next day screaming "SHE SUNG EVERYTIME LIVE" They were really excited about it



  64. 64

    I love Britney! I'm so glad she's getting her life together without K-Fat! :)



  65. 65

    I would say that there are SEVERAL things wrong with applauding a song for being "sung" live!

    Unfortunately, and I sincerely mean UNFORTUNATELY, to all like myself that is a tad against poppy-mainstream…I actually like this!

    Dare I say, Britt is actually being a little bit gritty and is showing very real emotion directed at what is most likely the perfect inspra-FED. ;)



  66. 66

    Looooooooves it!! ♥



  67. 67

    Re: Aaronj1 – beyonce has a better vocal. but beyonces vocals arent for this song. so i would say britney delivers it a lot better cuz it suits her voice more



  68. 68

    Looooooves it!! ♥



  69. 69

    the fact that anyone would pay to see someone lip synch a "live show" is unbelievable to me. and the fact that you people are so excited she sang a song live is just mind boggling. why would you expect anything less? i really don't get it.



  70. 70

    omg omg omg amazing i loved it i love brittney! shes amazing! go brittney!!!!!



  71. 71

    THAT SUCKED!!!! don't like her don't like her don't like her…it's all a conspiracy..the whole britney thing..i mean the girl can't sing…she is crazy and people still praise her….must be a conspiracy..watch zeitgeist people!



  72. 72

    Dear Walrus:

    You are missing the point entirely. It's not about paying money to see a lip-synced show or (to be fair to all) a mediocre iconic pop star by tabloid standards. It is all about performance.

    Most of the time I beg to differ, but music really is subjective. There is no REAL good or bad. It's all up to the listener him/herself.

    "You ought to know" is definitely not a cutesie song. It has been covered quite a few times and every single time I have heard a remake, it has been terrible. This time is no different….

    ….With the exception that I actually fucking heard Britt sing LIVE and she MEANT and felt the lyrics! Maybe she should consider writing her own from now on!? (Or do a successfully ironic cover!!!)



  73. 73

    That was horrible. Yuck. Lets see millions of people are without jobs and you expect me to be sooooo happy that this trainwreck sang live. Give me a break.



  74. 74

    This is great!



  75. 75

    Wow…she sounds really good. Good for her - I'm glad to see her doing well. It really is nice to see her getting healthier. I've never been much of a fan - I'm not really her demographic - but I'm cheering for her recovery.



  76. 76

    WooHoo!!! I love it!



  77. 77

    BOW BOW BOW TO GODNEY!

    KEEP CRYING HATERS!

    BOW BOW BOW TO GODNEY!

    KEEP CRYING HATERS!

    BOW BOW BOW TO GODNEY!

    KEEP CRYING HATERS!

    BOW BOW BOW TO GODNEY!

    KEEP CRYING HATERS!

    BOW BOW BOW TO GODNEY!

    KEEP CRYING HATERS!



  78. 78

    LIVING LEGEND!!!



  79. 79

    This sounds great! It'd be cool if she did a studio recording of this song!



  80. 80

    yay for brit brit! i love her

  81. slew says – reply to this


    81

    Ridiculous. I went to a Britney concert a few months ago and was completely unimpressed. She sang NOTHING and barely danced, she relied on her dancers to take care of that. She didn't try at all. Since when did it become accepted - even respected - for a singer to not SING in their concert? Where has real music gone? I will never go to another Britney concert again…and I WAS a huge fan.



  82. 82

    fucking loved it!, wish she sang that in london when i saw her!



  83. 83

    I loved it!! She sings everytime live though, but this time we know for sure she can sing..
    Even though Britney can do no wrong with me, I agree with the people that she should sing live more often if not all the time. But with this show and all the dancing it's kind of impossible to sing live. So she could sing live and stand there on a stage, or lipsync, dance and do this big show. They choose the last one because really,Britney is not about having a great voice, it's about the show.



  84. 84

    Alrighty then. We know that Britt, Madge, Mariah and lately even WHITNEY cant sing lately. So WTF else are we going to do for entertainment according to everyone here? I WOULD continue being indie or goth, but I dont want to be outnumbered by everyone else here that knows so much about what type of music is artsy or chic. I need to know what I should think! Please help! I just MUST be in style! ;)



  85. 85

    I really don't understand why people pay for someone who doesn't perform live (ok, except this time 1 (one) song). But good to see that she is doing well after what happened to her the last years.



  86. 86

    BITCH BETTA WORKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 THAT SHIT WAS HOT!!!!!!



  87. 87

    yay that was awsome she should do more rock songs so she can sing more!!



  88. 88

    Love that song and Britney sings it really well!! Woop love ya Brit!!



  89. 89

    AMAZING BRIT………………………..I NEW YOU HAD A VOICE!!!!!!



  90. 90

    She proves all the haters otherwise. This girl has gone through so much at such a young age, and that is already difficult without the whole world looking over your shoulder. And now sh just shows everyone that a person can overcome personal tragedy. She deserves every bit of succes! I admire her strength!
    You go, Brit!

  91. tero says – reply to this


    91

    I love Brit Brit! Seriously though, I think if the press give her some positive publicity and stop being so hard on her, she will continue to be fine. I can honestly say that if I had people follow me around like she did, was unable to have friends that liked me for me and not my money, and had two small babies and a jerk ex-husband,…I would have lost it too!



  92. 92

    It's great but I wish she had sang live when she was in Paris , I doubt I ll spend the obscene amount of money she asks if there's the slightest chance that she lip syncs all her way through again
    .and NO she did not sing Everytime live , it was the album playing , couldn't you hear!!?
    I was so disappointed when I left her concert ,my favourite part musically turned out to be Marilyn Manson's SWEET DREAMS lol.
    Let's hope she goes back to singing…this was a nice choice of song by the way . NOw a few months with a vocal coach and she might be FINALLY back , because so far I've seeen a lot of put-ons and computer engineered throat sounds , not much action from her.



  93. 93

    OHH PLEAAAASSSSE. BITCH SINGS ONCE AND IT'S THE COMING OF CHRIST. ALANIS DOES IT BETTER. TRAIN WRECK BRIT DOESNT HAVE THE ROCKER VOICE FOR THIS TRACK ANYWAY. NEXT!!



  94. 94

    WOWWWWWWW! she did amazing and even with the low quality sound she sounds great



  95. 95

    I gotta give it to her, she sounded really good!



  96. 96

    this makes me sooo happy, I love love love Britney bu she needs to get to the point where she can dance and sing live and this is amazing. SOOOO PROUD OF BRITNEY SPEARS AND PEREZ.xo



  97. 97

    Re: Unusual – ha I love that and yeah I can't put into words how proud I am, I never thought this day would come. Let's home that she gives us more to be proud of as let's face it we have stuck by her through thich and thin! xxx



  98. 98

    Re: HOT4JENSEN – LOVE your avatar! I'm hot for Jensen too LOL



  99. 99

    .
    I don't know how anyone could watch an entire lip-synched concert in the first place. You should EXPECT to see a live performance when you go to a concert.
    .



  100. 100

    BRITNEY SPEARS is amazing and this video just showa how amazing she is. She was never a strong live performer but since her mtv performance her abilities have been put on display and this video shows that she is working very hard AND BRITNEY SPEARS IS AMAZING. love her xoxo
