Zoe Saldana is standing by her "Crossroads" co-star Britney Spears, after the singer was bashed for being heavily auto toned in one of her tracks.
During an episode of "Watch What Happens Live" the pregnant actress was asked by a caller what she thought about the recently leaked version of Spears' "Alien" track - where fans can hear the singer's less than perfect vocals without auto-tune.
"Well, that's mean because I'm pretty sure that 80 percent of our musical artists would be mortified if they were caught singing without their own auto-tune," Saldana replied.
The 36-year-old actress revealed that she has still has a "huge amount of respect for" the singer and went on to defend Spears and her career - praising her for having "good energy."
"She was the one big, big celebrity that I met when I was starting to work in Hollywood, who literally was humble, and whatever was going on in her mind there in her world, it was never about hating her neighbor," Saldana said.
She added: "She was the only pop star at the time - and I can name a lot of prominent figures right now that are today more famous than Britney that literally got to where they were at by hating on Britney, because it was cool at one time to just diss her - and Britney never did that. I do believe that people and children gravitate to good energy, and she's definitely an abundance of that."
Saldana is currently prompting her new action flick "Guardians of the Galaxy," where she plays green-skinned superhero Gamora. The movie, which also stars her ex-boyfriend Bradley Cooper, Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, and Dave Bautista, grossed $94 million over the weekend.
