Britney Belting It Out

And now, a break from whether or not Britney Spears is a good mom, good pet owner, or wearing underwear.

I stumbled on an interesting medley of Britney Spears' vocal performances, correction, best vocal performances as determined by the editor that created the clip. It was submitted to YouTube.com from a 19-year-old from Cologne Germany who goes by the name of Guido and is very excited to be coming to Orlando next year "to work at Disneyland."  We assume that means Disneyworld or the poor kid is going to have to figure out a way to get to Anaheim.

In the medley, you'll see a 10-year-old Britney on Star Search, Britney singing "New York, New York" in an amateur video, and Britney singing one of my favorite Chaka Khan songs ("I Feel For You") on what looks to be the Mickey Mouse Club (it's a little blurry but that looks like Justin Timberlake in one of the shots.)

Britney does let her more powerful vocal chops be heard when she sings the occasional ballad. But it's always a little bit of a surprise since most of the time she kind of growls, moans and pants her way through her dance music.

I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, at least not for a song like "Toxic." But wouldn't it be interesting to hear her sing a song straight up more often?
