Henry Rollins - © Scott Alan / PhotorazziCelebrity blogger Michael K of DListed.com unearthed a nugget from Sun reporter Bill Harris regarding the sinewy muscleman who still rocks and rants on tour. Rollins noted that befriending the sound engineers at any music studio was a wise move, as "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," Rollins told Harris."(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."
