So I started off writing this article about a very short 7 second clip that’s being passed around the Internet right now claiming to be a Britney Spears singing a demo version of the OneRepublic hit “Apologize“… Supposedly She recorded it for her Blackout album. Here is the clip that people are buzzing about!…

Totally Britney Spears, right?!!! Wrong! As I was writing the article and looking for refrences, I stubled upon this little video…
Turns out that the supposed Britney demo is actually a 17 year old aspiring musician named Bridie Heaton. She says she’s not a Britney impersonator and that she’s just being “Bridie“. As a matter of fact, if you visit her Youtube channel, she does a lot of covers that are NOT BRITNEY songs. (All of which sound like Britney covering other artists.) She’s even posted some of her own original compositions that aren’t bad at all! The girl is actually a decent singer and with some vocal training could really make a name for herself as the non-lip syncing Britney. LOL. Check her out!
First I want to start by saying that American Idol has totally SUCKED so far this year! I’m gonna give it more of a chance before I change my DVR settings to stop recording it but the contestants this year are just not that good. For example… The contest pictured above, Tim Urban, should have totally went home Thursday night. He absolutely butcher OneRepublic’s hit song “Apologize” and gave the worst vocal performance out off all the males, hands down. As you can see… Tim is blessed with some other “ASSets” that will probably get him the teenage girl/gay guy vote and will keep him in the competition for a while longer. Maybe if he performs shirtless he could even win the whole thing!
Hilary Duff is about to drop a new single from her upcoming greatest hits CD. (Yes… another “greatest hits”… WTF??) I’m not a huge fan of Hilary but I do like this track a lot. It’s called, “Reach Out” and features samples from Soft Cells, “Tainted Love,” as well as the Depeche Mode classic, ”Personal Jesus.” ”Reach Out” was produced by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder who was responsible for “Apologize” as well as Leona Lewis’ massive hit, “Bleeding Love.” The Bermudez & Chico remix is most likely what that radio stations will end up playing, however…
Check out “Reach Out” and tell me what you think…
