OHLALA YAEL NAIM ... DOES BRITNEY SPEARS
Have you ever wonder how "Toxic" would sound like if it was performed by a real singer with voice and talent !!? Thanx to Israelo-French singer Yael Naim we don't have to use our imagination anymore ...
Yael Naim was born in Paris 29 years ago but moved with her family to Ramat Hasharon, Israel at age four. A few months after her discharge from the army, she came back to Paris and began to make music. her album sung mostly in Hebrew became the biggest-selling album over the Internet in France. “It’s a dream I almost gave up on along the way”, says Yael Naim about her first album. Below "New Soul" in english.
Britney is talented and Toxic is one of the best song of the decade. The Yael Naim version is absolutely horrible !

i think that it's a murder to say that britney is talentless, have you ever heard her when she was 11 in star search??? she has a hard voice, i admit she doesn't use it well since a while but she's still a great artist searching for herself!!! paparazzi are the problem!!!
they made the britney we can see actually in the tabloids!!!
i love this site, ( i visit it everyday) but i like britney (gimme) more!!!!
so leave britney alone!!! ( i'm kidding course)

Okay....Britney makes people dance. That's what she does, and she does it well. Her level of talent is a matter of opinion. Yes, Yael has a nice voice, but she destroyed "toxic." It's a dance song, and works perfectly as such. I can't say that Yael's version worked...at all. Nice try.

I am also a loyal reader of this site and I NEVER post on here, but I felt as if I needed to defend Britney here.
It's kind of a huge shock for you guys to say that she does not have talent. Just because she doesn't have a voice like whatever her name is (which I dont think is impressive at ALL by the way), it does not mean she does not have talent.
Her talent is making people dance, entertaining people, and singing to really quick beats and so on. I'm sorry, but Toxic is meant to be a quick song like she made it. And this chick (around 3:30) is KILLING my earssss

I think it's absolutely hilarious that people are defending britney. Talent and britney does not go together. All the songs written for her require minimal effort. This singer gave it depth. The one you should be calling talented should be Britney's song writer, choreographer, marketing manager, musical director, graphic designer (for making her look 50kilos lighter), record company, etc. Even though, she did co-write the songs in the new album, but i wouldn't exactly call repeating words "song writing".
she did not personally make people dance, her "team" made everyone dance. she is just the brand they used to market it.
