Trap for young players... kick the guitar back of stage... an you pretty lady stay to the front..wanna see you dazza marazalize!! No offense to guitar man.its not about ability...just setting
A lot of pop tunes these days are filled with loads of cacophonic clutter — a surfeit of sounds and noises thrown in to keep the listener's fickle attention, it seems to me. But when you strip these songs down to their bare acoustic bones, it can bring out a certain integrity that the original covered up with its garish aural drag.
So, good job, N&N!
For a simpatico cover of another Britney bauble, check out "Oops, I Did It Again" by Richard Thompson.
That is a nice venue. I hate it that I can sing the words to this song in my head. WHY DO I KNOW THE LYRICS TO BRITNEY SPEARS!? Great job btw, cant wait to see where you go.
you have a wounderous voice. you have a future in music should you choose to go that route. just dont end up like ms. spears. shaveing your head, behaveing unseemly at night clubs and marrying a shit dude. that would suck
Hit those high notes more often gurrrl! You're so suited to it, and it adds something very Kate Miller-hyphen-Heidke-esque about your version. Love it!
Wish I could've made it but unfortunately the gf was sick.
Coming from somebody who is a fan of the original, it is my humble opinion that this pisses all over Britney's version. You're fantastic, Nikki. :D <3
love it

Best version of this I think I've ever heard. Much better than Britney's trashy version... I would totally buy this. X
littlemonster333 2 years ago
The guitar is O.K. but it's too loud and drowns out your voice,.
The vid would have been without the guitar.
Next time get rid of the guitarist. and either go back to playing the guitar yourself or try singing without instrumental accompaniment..

BEar in mind, the live performance would have been different in terms of sound quality. Videos often reduce the quality of what they film
