Rolling Stone reviews the demo of "Telephone"

Although not a launch of Britney, journalist Rob Sheffield published on the site of the prestigious Rolling Stone magazine your review of  Telephone song in the voice of the singer - this is one of the few times that a simple demo gets so much resonance. Check out:

Since the leaked demo version of Britney Spears for the song Telephone Lady GaGa, the fans would not stop talking about it. The producer Rodney Jerkins quickly confirmed that Britney indeed was singing this demo, but any "Britneyologista" already experienced could recognize your voice heard just a couple of verses - no one pronounces the consonant "r" or the long vowel "and" how our girl . The demo has all the vocal tics characteristic of Britney, or at least the laptop that makes his singing. At this point, I started to love Britney even more demo version of the already brilliant hit GaGa. Even if it's a production still unfinished, it amplifies all the boiling rage in music, undressing for a killer combination of the sound of a harp and a partygoer addicted to Auto-Tune and paranoia.

Telephone really look much like the success of Britney released in 2007, Piece of Me, proving once again how much Britney has had an impact on the sound of current pop. People love to make fun of Britney, and why not, but if Telephone proves anything, it's that Blackout can be the most influential pop album of the last five years. The demo is softer than the production of Gaga, cutting the rock bombast, but that just makes the song be more straightforward and urgent. Telephone reduces to a drum machine, that harp, a magic box of vocal effects, and the concept that the soul of a girl and a magic box of vocal effects can sometimes be exactly the same thing.

Britney uses the Auto-Tune the way that Bob Dylan played his harmonica - to score into the atmosphere for a weird sound effect. It is an explosion of distorted vocals, hard surface, but expressive, capable of fundamentally sound fun or abrasively angry or seductive. In Telephone, as in Piece of Me, Auto-Tune to make his voice which did for the harmonica Dylan It Is not Me, Babe - a way to tell the world to keep their hands off you. Britney's talking with your phone, talking to the guy who keeps calling, talking compulsively to check your phone. The way his voice rises and falls in Auto-Tune - especially when it rises - is totally brilliant. Like Bob Dylan (and I swear this is the last time I'll mention his name now despite the millions of things that he and Brit have in common) Britney loves to make a transition between the human voice (Hey world, take a look at me, I'm a star, I am someone, pay attention) and a voice (Hey world, get out, you can not reach me, I do not believe you, you're a liar).
 .

The question is not whether Britney is doing work. (When is it was a matter for a pop star?) Is the romance going on between voice and machine. Part of what makes Britney the most perfect of perfect pop star is the way she expresses her personality when she is most passionate about becoming a machine - surrender to the pace, disappearing into the emotion of the moment pop, singing like a robot. That is what makes his sound so human after all. Telephone in, she does not want to think, speak, feel - she just wants to go out there and dance to the rhythm of machines, until it becomes a machine itself.
 .

Nothing could better express the cosmology as a Britney song on your phone, since normally be songs where the singers distort his vocals to sound as if a link - may be my favorite ELO's Telephone Line, The Telephone Call Kraftwerk, or maybe Make It's Hot Missy Elliott, Timbaland and Nicole Wray. But it is ideal for Britney - especially when the music phone fall like a hymn. She's kinda busy. She's kinda busy. You can not hurt you, can not even touch her because she's kinda busy. Call all you want but it's not home, and you will not reach your phone.
 .

I definitely am not belittling the version of GaGa - I could not live without it, especially without his epic video with Beyonce. But both of Telephone has it Britney, is not a great surprise to learn that Gaga may have written the song for her. Since Britney is the perfect pop star, and songs on the phones are always excellent, is simply a mathematical fact that the Telephone Britney is a perfect pop song, and the world is an infinitely better place because it exists.

Bizarre note: despite all the advances in telephone technology over the past 25 years, both versions of Telephone finish with the same recorded message on the Answering Machine Replacements, classic punk rock in 1984 - she's so punk.
