Britney & Rihanna - S&M
"
Let me start off by saying that I am a huge Britney fan. I think she speaks for a generation and is more of a "Modern day Madonna" than Lady Gaga will ever be. That being said, when I heard about this collaboration of S&M with Rihanna, I really didn't know what to expect. I am not a fan of Rihanna's music, almost at all.. but regardless, I had a listen to the song and can't say I was impressed. Heres the collaboration:
In general, I found the original version of the song boring, repetitive, and lacking. I'm tired of Rihanna over playing that shes a bad girl. Honestly, am I the only person who feels like she already beat that horse to death with her last 2 albums? Anyways, if you haven't already gathered, I didnt like the first version of S&M. So then I listened to the second version featuring an additional verse by Britney Spears. Again, not impressed. I like hearing remixes of songs because they usually present a different perspective on something familiar.. but this one really did nothing for me. The song was basically kept completely intact, and a Britney Spears verse was dropped right in the middle of the song. I'll be the first to admit that Britney Spears vocals aren't stellar, but I don't think thats why she is appealing to me. Getting back on track, remixes are supposed to present something old in a new light, and this "remix" didn't even come close to doing that. The only thing I enjoyed about this remix was that it was shorter than the original, and featured less vocals by Rihanna. But really.. Whats the point in remixing a song and keeping it almost exactly the same? Oh.. right.. There really isn't a point. Bloops.
In situations like these, I don't know whats worse - Creating another whiny vocal filled, "I'm such a bad girl", boring pop song by Rihanna.. Or having to hear it on the radio for another 6 extra months because it was remixed with Britney. Thank goodness for Toronto's Boom 97.3 I may never have to hear this steamy pile ever again. Gotta love the 80s.
