Members alphanguy74 Posted October 15, 2014 Members Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm seeing quite a bit of buzz about this, and God knows there is a huge hunger for this kind of stuff in the over 40 crowd (No melisma, nor autotune), I predict it will go at least top 10 if not better. I'm thinking this is probably going to be the lead off single. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2014 It's nice to see her do a whole album of girl group classics, since she's loved that whole genre from the very beginning of her career. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydCudZmj2NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted October 15, 2014 Members Share Posted October 15, 2014 I adore her! But you're fooling yourself if you think there won't be autotune. Every artist uses autotune, especially aging divas who may not have the range they once had. That's no shade at Bette - I love her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted October 15, 2014 Members Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hmm, I have to say Ronnie Spector did this better. This version there is not really any sense of enthusiasm in the singing, whereas the original version you could hear how Ronnie was really selling it to the guy the song was addressed to.

Members alphanguy74 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2014 I just don't think she needs it. Many older ones don't do it on principle. But 2:40.... pretty damn flawless, and in the morning! Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 not really needing it isnt the same as not using it tho. you would be amazed at the actual voice of many recent singers, in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'd LOVE to be amazed, really I would. But this kind of seals the deal for me. Britney... oh Lord! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FweC46QHCm8&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DFweC46QHCm8&app=desktop This is what singers should sound like RAW, with nothing but a bit of echo chamber.

Members quartermainefan Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 I love a capella music. On youtube is this group called Pentatonix and they seem capable of singing anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted October 21, 2014 Members Share Posted October 21, 2014 Where did I say britney would amaze you? Like I love her but most of her die hard fans will admit she's not the best singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted November 11, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 Woohooo! Bette is set to enter the billboard album chart this week at #9. This will make her and Streisand the only two women to have top 10 albums in 5 separate decades. https://music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/chart-watch-you-better-you-bette-190632522.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 14, 2014 Apparently, it performed better than expected and debuted at #3!!! How exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Becki Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 Love Bette so much! Her voice is magic. That clip from The Continental Baths is incredible! (It's always weird seeing Barry Manilow playing piano for her.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
