Britney Spears shocked her followers by posting a video of herself singing acapella while washing laundry. After all these years, fans were forced to ask - Britney Spears' real singing voice is actually different from all the albums she released?
Now out of her conservatorship, Spears is doing everything she can to be her authentic self, a type of freedom she lost while under the care of her father. This time, she was looking through her wardrobe when she decided to post a video to Instagram to reveal something "true" about herself.
She wrote, "This is me yesterday, doing laundry and separating clothes. I haven't shared my voice in an extremely long time, maybe too long, and here's me playing at my house with a different version of 'Baby'."
Spears added, "The word as in words, show me how you want it to be, tell me baby because I need to know, give me a f****** sign, hit me baby, one more time!"
Throughout the music video, the singer videotaped herself standing in front of a mirror while performing a more robust version of the hit song.
Spears stated to her 41.8 million followers that she had battled for an alternate version of the song to be released when it was first released in 1998.
However, due to the popstar's personal and professional restraints, she was unable to implement her proposal.
The singer said to her followers that the "crew said no" and instead "provided her with four girls," including her sister, to perform "a five-minute rendition of four remixed songs."

She asserted that they did not "give effort or dance" but rather "shot it brilliantly" with "new sound."
Spears continued: "They ruined it for me, embarrassed me and made me feel like absolutely nothing! The truth is a f****** b****! I share this because I am aware of my love and passion to sing and my own family made a fool of me. I'm not going to be the victim. Hit me baby one more time?"
When Britney initially entered the recording studio, according to author Mark Hughes, her voice was "far deeper than her instantly recognizable signature sound."
Brit worked with producer Eric Foster White to create her distinctive voice, but fans were clearly pleased to hear her "natural" singing and complimented her in the comments. One fan described hearing her "true voice" as "amazing," while another praised her "natural" sound and how "comfortable" she was "sharing it to the world."
