Britney Without Auto-Tune Leaks

Don't get me wrong.  I love Britney.  I really do, but this leak of "Alien" without any production on it is really just a hot mess.

Now Brit Brit's producer has come to her defense saying that this leak wasn't the final take that they ended up producing up right, but rather a "vocal warm-up."  William Orbit compared this to a runner doing stretches before they take the track.  He also said he's heard worse sounds during warm-ups from other artists and the only reason these takes are recorded is to help engineers set their systems up.

Take a listen below.  Are you shocked or not?
