John Legend: "Britney & Demi can't sing."

I knew it was a matter of time before 'Every Time' got mentioned - it's the only song which Britney stans seem to use to argue that she can sing.

Britney Spears - I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman Live at 2001 AMA's

I cited "Everytime" as it's her most popular ballad. It's not the only song that shows Britney's vocal ability.

As well as Breathe on Me, From the Bottom of My Broken Heart, and others. She does not sound bad at all in any of her albums at all. She can sing well, perfect, maybe not, but yes she can. In The Zone has some of her best vocals. People just don't want to believe it or something.. ?

Well, it's the only thing you guys seem to agree us because you think she always uses autotune when infact that she became the superstar that she is with her natural voice.. I don't think ...Baby One More Time had autotune in it. Also, it's 'Everytime'

If I could choose between Britney and John, I know who I would choose.

I knew this was going to be sarcastic.

I'd love to see people hit all the right notes while dancing like her.. and not all moments are bad.

Really?! you bringing a video from one of her best and most intense shows dance wise to prove she can't sing?

I love Nicole scherzinger voice and no one can say she can'r sing but listen to her during her tours she sounds out of tune most of the time, it's so damn hard to dance and sing at the same time, let alone doing Britney Spears 2002 dance moves.

Well he's right so...

I agree. I am not a big fan of Legend, but the man is talented and people forget that he has NEVER EVER at any point ever tried to compete with the likes of Usher and Chris Brown. He's never strived for pop crossover appeal, he's always been a 100% soul artist, so to mock him for not having dozens of #1 singles is against the point because it isn't like he's ever cared about that.

Hmmm...I think he kinda mocked Britney for not being a strong vocalist, it's unfair to do so too, because ever since day one, Britney never claimed to be the girl with the big vocals. She was always about the totality of her impact as a pop superstar, which is already proven, that is why she was obviously chosen.

To say that great vocalists exclusively have the sole right to judge talent doesn't make sense, because there are far more artists with limited vocal ranges that have gone on to become bigger and more successful superstars (Madonna, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, etc.) And let's not forget about Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, and LA Reid, I mean, I doubt that they can even sing great!

Legend is my fav voice of the generation

But BS he has NO x FACTOR!. Adele sells but they are almost in the same genre Soulful Rn'b pop

LOL. Demi can sing. John Legend should have his ears checked.

About Britney, she is not the best singer out there but atleast she knows how to entertain people. X-Factor is not all about singing. What's the use of singing if you don't have the X-Factor that appeals people.

by **Plym** » Fri May 18, 2012 8:57 am

Hahaha I love how the Britney stans constantly need to provide links and resources to desperately prove things to the rest of us. Keep providing those links because you won't be changing opinions! :lol:

And maybe you should have your eyes checked because he wrote that he wasn't referring to Demi? lol Or do you just read what you want to believe?

Well those links are proof that she can sing live, you liked that or not that's the fact.

Where did he said it? Oh well. Don't you blame me for reacting like this because the title of the article just say so. lol

After dancing up a storm. As you can she she was out of breath from it. Britney dance moves back then were tough... if you do that to some other artist that danced like she did they'd probably sound the same. This proves nothing.

Let the media sway your opinions like they tend to. He never said that they couldn't sing either way. It's true that judges like J. Lo, Paula Abdul, and Britney Spears aren't really singers to begin with. They are street performers.
