Vuotaneiden Alien-stemmojen kritiikki sai myös William Orbitin liikekannalle, sillä hän puolusti Facebookissa Britneyn ääntä ja moitti kappaleen julkaisijaa. Hänen mukaansa kyseessä oli lämmittelysessio. En ymmärrä kumpaakaan osapuolta: en vouhottavia faneja enkä Orbitia. Minusta kappaleessa ei ole mitään vikaa, varsinkin jos ymmärtää ilman mitään Facebook-viestejä, että kyseessä ei ole viimeistelty versio.
Dearest Music Lovers, I have heard that Britney vocal link that everybody’s been discussing. It has been impossible not to as there have been many comments directing my attention to it. [I won’t re-posting it here]. I’d like to affirm that ANY singer when first at the mic at the start of a long session can make a multitude of vocalisations in order to get warmed up.
Warming up is essential if you’re a pro, as it is with a runner doing stretches, and it takes a while to do properly. I’ve heard all manner of sounds emitted during warmups. The point is that it is not supposed to be shared with millions of listeners.
A generous singer will put something down the mic to help the engineer get their systems warmed up and at the right level, maybe whilst having a cup of herb tea and checking through lyrics before the session really kicks off. It’s not expected to be a ‘take’.
I think that 99% of you reading this will totally understand.
Whomever put this on the internet must have done so in a spirit of unkindness, but it can in no way detract from the fact that Britney is and always will be beyond Stellar! She is magnificent! And that’s that.
Sincerely, William
