Singer/spoken-word artist Henry Rollins had an interesting take on Britney Spears during a recent interview with Sun Media.

Rollins was talking about how it always is a good idea to befriend the sound engineers at any music studio, because they’re the ones with the best stories.

“They have the black chick come in and sing, and Britney sings over it, and they mix them together,” said Rollins, who has his own talk show on IFC.

“(Britney) gets her phrasing basically from this older R&B woman. I found that out talking to an engineer.

“Britney apparently isn’t actually the worst singer, she just has no feel. So they bring in this older black woman who sings the song, then Britney sings to it, and they kind of make a mix of the two voices, and that’s what you hear on the records.”
