This week America got to witness Britney Spears coming face-to-face with her old duet partner, Don Philip. In his awkward audition, Philip's voice sounded shot, which led Spears and the rest of The X Factor USA judges to cut the struggling singer from the competition. Coincidence or not, Philip re-recorded and released his old Spears collaboration sans Britney as a tribute to the pop star.
Don Philip's “I Will Still Love†(Tribute to Britney Spears) surfaced on Amazon.com as a digital download. Philip reprises his old role on the duet, singing his original lines with a voice that doesn't sound as strong as it did in 1999. Instead of Spears, an unnamed singer takes on her part of the song, in which it seems she tries to capture Britney's teenage vocals. While the original Spears-Philip duet lasted four minutes, Don's re-release of the song is listed on Amazon at an unusual almost seven minutes in length.
When Phillip auditioned on The X Factor back in July and was cut from the show, he released a sensual song online featuring him and Spears, believed to be titled “Pleasure You.†That was the newest song with the two singers since their original 1999 collaboration, “I Will Still Love You,†from Spears' debut album, ...Baby One More Time.
