Britney Spears gets grimy on "I wanna go" David A. Remix
Where as the original version of I wanna go wasn't my ideal choice for single number 3 from Britney Spears' electrostatic Femme Fatale album, the song has just gone up in my estimation thanks to the excellently grimy, Justicesque David A remix . The remix has officially been endorsed by Team Britney, having been reblogged on the stars Tumblr page, and its no wonder considering how hard this remix goes!

Bjork - Vocal Profile/ Range
Vocal Type: Robusto Soprano
Vocal Range: 2 Octaves 7 notes and a semitone E3-D6
Whistle Register: No
Vocal Pluses: Voice is strongest in the midrange and in the lower chest register (up to a D5). Unusually the chest voice retains its power, volume and strength despite its timbre thinning somewhat as it pushes higher. As a whole, the voice is a dynamic one that can be oppressive and domineering one moment, and soft and sweet the next. It has the dexterity to sing complex melodies and vocal runs, but also the stamina to hold notes, while maintaining its quality, at length.
Vocal Negatives: The lack of vibrato sometimes makes the higher chest notes sound too sharp and piercing, thus becoming overbearing at times.

Lady Gaga: "Hair" Live performances:
The more I listen to Lady Gaga's new album Born this way the more I like it. Sure, lyrically it's a little lacking but production wise, thematically, vocally, and melodically its solid piece of work that makes better sense, and stands stronger, as a collection of songs than as individual singles.

Joss Stone- Vocal range/profile
Vocal Type: Mezzo-Soprano
Vocal Range: 2 Octaves 4 notes C3-G5
Whistle Register: No
Vocal Pluses: Expressive, soulful voice that manages to maintain these qualities throughout the registers.The lower range has a beautiful cool, smoky tone to it whereas the belted voice is warmer with a gutsy, passion to it. Her head voice is also full, and bright.
Vocal Negatives: The technique she employs to generate grunts and growls, though sounding good and in keeping with her vocal style, can cause problems to the voice if used extensively.

Video Review: Britney Spears does Awake in new video for "I Wanna Go"
I Wanna Go is a tongue-in-cheek video where Britney Spears swears at journalist, gropes a fan, flashes random people -including a minor- and then begins a fight with cyborg paparazzi, only to be saved by an atypical “hunk” who apparently likes milk. But it seems too surreal to be true and at the end its revealed that its all been a daydream/fantasy that a bored Britney was having at the press conference that opened the video......or was it? Watch the end of the video to fully understand!
