They sealed their friendship with a scandalous kiss years ago at the MTV Video Music Awards and now Britney Spears sends another love letter to Madonna with a remake of the Material Girl’s “Burning Up.”  The song, gulp, came out in Spring, 1983, when a young Brit Brit would have danced to it in her diapers, since she was only about 16 months old at the time.

Snippets of the very obvious work-in-progress surfaced today, originally on Pop Dust.  You can hear it on a loop below.

There have been rumors that Spears was going to include the song on the Femme Fatale tour, according to Entertainment Weekly, and so this could be the autotuned taped that will accompany her in concert while she sings along live (yes, I’m kidding about that singing live part).  More likely it’s snippets of what she’ll be lipsyncing...you can hear the editing and the recording and stopping and starting and stopping and starting...

It’s choppy enough with the edits that we got a little nauseated listening to it-- and that’s really no reflection Britney. We look forward to hearing the main thing. In the meantime, here’s a little loop action of Britney “on fire.”

The Femme Fatale tour, with Nicki Minaj opening, starts a week from tonight, on June 16 in Sacramento.

What do you think of "Burning Up?"

    Do a little research Melinda... Find the full version that is out and write a review on that. Its fantastic. Hater. What is clear about this song... Its an obvious slap in GaGa's fucked up face by Madge, allowing Brit to sing this song while GaGa steals her mojo... Kudos Ladies!

    Enough with the whole "lipsyncing", we got it, you hate her.
    Can we move on? You're getting boring.

    I think this cover suffers from the lack of a guitar hook like the original had. The tempo also seems strange. But without the guitar, the middle part seems empty and void of any energy. Brit's singing is what it is. This cover seems like nothing more than a 'B' side throwaway. She could have done much better. Or rather, the producer could have done much better.
