Britney's not a musician because Musician implies they can play some sort of instrument. Yes, Britney's not the only one artist that uses a computer to edit her vocals, but Rihanna can't sing particularly well either, bad example. I'm not saying she can't sing at all, she obviously has some sort of vocal ability, just not that much. Most artists nowadays use computers for effect in their songs. Girls Aloud's "Sexy! No No No" used it for effect. Not because they can't sing, they've proved it in other songs. Same with Christina. The third chorus of KGB has clearly been edited, but everyone knows she's extremely capable of singing through a song.

Britney will more than likely mime, which is a shame because that'll lose her credibility [I certainly will lose respect for her, particularly after gaining it]. Miming, IMO, is the worst thing an artist can do. It's like saying 'I can't sing/I can sing but I can't be bothered to show it to you now.' I don't care if she sings over recorded vocals, just something to prove she can sing live. I know she'll dance but so do other artists, and they sing live/over recorded vocals. Yes, Same Difference did it, and I'm disappointed in them for doing it, however, they've nothing to prove. They sang live all last year throughout the contest, and Britney hasn't sung live for at least 4 years, and seeing as there is criticism about her voice, if she was to sing live, regardless of whether it's amazing, or decent, it'd prove a point to all those who say she can't.

Brintey plays the piano, and no one on here has called her a musician other than Dance2Night. Christina Aguilera mimed at the VMAs this year, have you lost all respect for her?

Circus is far less digitally edited than Blackout. In fact the only song on Blackout which is notably enhanced is "Womanizer", which in my opinion is for effect.
