Britney Spears

This is actually very Britney heavy tho...even before YouTube fans started doing filters and stuff you can notice the distinctive Britney vibrato and timbre on most lines - Myah only takes over lead very briefly here and there
I feel like that can't be true if it was a last minute submission nn
We'll never know the facts but most of the vocals on that song does not sound like Myah at all (especially in the lower notes) except for the parts highlighted here:
“Now That I Found You” is so bad.
A properly finished all Britney Now That I Found You (second verse included) could have probably done really well considering how big that sound was at the time. Lyrically it also kind of fits the "personal" narrative.
The whole Britney Jean debacle is unforgivable. I agree with everything people have said but I also think it’s worth saying that Britney’s team had only one priority which was to extort as much money from her as possible and by any means necessary. They had absolutely no interest in maintaining her artistic credibility whatsoever. They were perfectly happy to chuck out a sub par fraudulent album as long as it helped sell tickets to her vegas show and in turn line their own pockets.

Not the Hold On Tight erasure. Now that is actually a lovely song and deserved better than being on that album.
All of Britney Jean is beneath Britney, even aside from the vocal fuckery. It's an album of scraps. It was incredibly stupid of her team to push so hard to release it, though as others have said, they obviously didn't care about anything but cashing checks. But even from a business perspective, it's dumb. It hurt her brand. She was still one of the biggest artists on the planet at that point. Over the previous 5 years, she had racked up 8 top 10 hits in the US, including a handful of #1s. Vegas would have been a success with or without an album to promote it. And I'd argue that the album did more harm than good in that sense, because so many fans were turned off, and it was her first album that casuals truly didn't get behind. Rather than stringing an album together, they could have found one or two great singles, a big feature... anything else to keep her name out there. They could have easily bought time and waited until late 2014 to release an album to promote the extension of the residency. It's depressing to think how much damage they did to her legacy as an artist with that release.
In an ideal world, The Singles Collection would have been a re-issue of Circus with 3, Telephone and Take the Bait tacked on. That way, The Singles Collection could have been released during the initial Vegas run with Work Bitch as the lead.
I think the wheels had just truly fallen off by 2013. If an album was being released in December and there were such limited songs recorded, why was she spending three days in a desert in September filming a video for a song her vocals barely featured on? Madness.

I would have loved for her to follow that Rock influenced sound she delved into for some songs like Don't keep me waiting, Dangerous or Abroad. An album with that sound would have been perfect after Femme Fatale.
Not to be contrarian but I think it does fit. It's the closest thing to her teenpop material but it's definitely elevated production wise. I love it, what an anthem.
