Is it me or is she trying too hard to make a comeback?
I think that she needs to understand that she`ll never make it back to how she was back in the days of "Hit Me Baby One More Time"

And its even worse that she lip synched for her concert.

I give her kudos for trying to get her life back on track, but I think its just not gona happen.

What is your opinion on this?

Britney??? Who's that again?

:)

I don't know how she (or her management) expected this to work? The lip-syncing, dancing & bubblegum pop days are over. I'd like to think people don't buy it anymore.

Honestly she should have worn more clothing, sported her natural short hair and sung (not lip synced) a less derivative pop song. But I don't think she has the voice or the charisma to pull that off.

I agree with this, she still could have worn something sexy, but something less revealing such as black leather pants like the girl on the left.

She`s not doing much to bring back her repuation buy skimping around on stage in her underwear and fishnets.

Kind of reminds me of a crack whore :)

She's actually managed to lower her standards ROFL!

ah well she has gone though allot

they will have to make it cheap so the 9 year olds can afford it

I`d never let my kids see Britney Spears (not that I have any LOL). They`d think its right to wear underwear and fishnet stockings :(

She used to be a great role model for kids.

Gimme....a gun

Yotube link is down, and you can't view it outside the US on the MTV site. So you can view it here:

she now has freak appeal... Im more interested in her now than when she was "good".

:)

"it's Britney, bitch!"

...sad thing is that's probably the best part of her song 'cause it involves no singing.

It's kind of sad how she use to be so far on top and is now basically just trash. Her MTV thing was just tragic.

I thought it was the funniest things I've ever seen. I'd pay to see a concert like that.

I honestly don't understand whats compelling her or her publicists to stick with this trashy crackwhore image??

Certinally she should have been working on Maturing her image??
Her's isn't even sexy, its like she's trying to still work as if she is 16!

It used to be hot, now its not.

Put some pants on & get a real job britney!

They were discussing this on the Today show this morning, they had an argument over the whole 'fat' issue. Steve Price in particular was saying she was fat, which I disagree with. She certainly doesn't have the body she had a few years ago, but she is far from overweight. But yer, that outfit was not good.

As for the performance, it was a bit 'blah' - but the lighting/setup on the outlining of the stage looked awesome.

She blows, big time. Can't sing, dance, sync.

I don't think she's fat however.

Give Me , Give Me, Give Me More, Cause` I`m A Crack Whore :D

wow... that completely sucked ass. I could sync better than that... and I would look sexier in that outfit.

... yes Im a 24 year old guy with a hairy chest.

This is very bad, I don't know what's happening to Brittany but after everything Rehab,Kids,
It's just too much I suppose.

Sta.

P.S: Did anyone see her website. Confused :-S

Still looks kinda fat.

Should've given up years ago. :\

Its like a car accident.... I just couldn't look away.

But in all seriousness, she moved like a beached whale.

LMAO did anyone see all the other artists? They were like laughing behind their teeth :D

SSSK writes...

Probably blows like one too :?

ROFL @ the comments.

Come on, after two kids you'd probably balloon out as good as she has.

Someone should send the video to the chinese Authorities as proof that whales are nowhere as endangered as greenpeace allows.

"THERE SHE BLOWS !!!!!!!!!" Says Kev Fed.

If you look closely, when one of the Penguins helps the whale down from the rear upper stage to the forward lower, that she is *NOT* lip syncing at all, I mean her lips DO NOT MOVE, even though the soundtrack keeps going.

She has lost it big time.

She's just had 2 kids back to back and you think she's fat? Unbelievable.
I thought she looked fine.

What a woeful performance. It was like she had forgotten how to sing and dance.

Apparently before the performance someone backstage was making fun of her kids and it really upset her. She was going to ditch the whole thing. Probably should have!

She looks better than the reports would have you believe. That said, I always thought Britney could do with a sandwich ... she's obviously had one, and looks better for it.

Still not my type, though. Too blonde trailer trash for my tastes.

To the OP: That was the MTV VMAs not a concert. Says so in the link too. I also think its just you because everyone but her billed that performance as a comeback performance. I'm also not sure by what you mean as trying too hard. She isn't exactly bombarding us with attempts to make a comeback (Magazine interviews, TV interviews, Radio interviews, making shocking statements etc etc). If you're referring to the performance then it was rather her LACK of trying that made her performance suck badly. People expected something amazing and all they got was an good idea (that is better than what most other performers can think of - compare similar pop/rnb artists) that was executed rather poorly.

I think she looks fine in terms of body - shes still got a body thats better than alot of non-celebrity women but just maybe not in comparison to other celebrities.
The lipsyncing was bad, she looked nervous and not into her performance.
This is either one of the biggest publicity stunts or something happened. The next time she goes to perform theres going to be even more speculation and more anticipation to see her rise above the bad stuff in her life atm.

Brian White writes...

that she is *NOT* lip syncing at all,

OMG that reminds me of a part during the performance, theres like a part where theres a part where the back voice is singing or moaning or some shit, and then theres her supposed to be singing over the back voice, expect she was singing the back voice, and her other voice was playing and her mouth was moving with the other words of the song, not the main part. DEFINATELY LIPSYNCED.

Should get the Whale Catchers over to the U.S to catch the whale.. shes running wild ;)

Then i guess you didnt see the photo shoot she did for her new music video, or the fact that shes taking her kids away from her mum, or the fact that shes partying late at night without her kids, or that shes skimping around on stage in bra and undies with fishnets, or that she shaved her hair, or that she tried to throw herself in front of a truck and that she went to the Promises rehab center in miami.

That`s what i meant.

I dont think these are things you do when you are trying to make a comeback.
Generally you party without your children - you'd be a pretty poor parent for taking them to clubs.
The other things seem more to do with her private life than her professional career. Obviously something happened between mother and child (if true), there are theories why she shaved her head and it is widely known that Britney is suffering from depression. Also, alot of the online community believe she could be bi-polar.
I'm not sure where the truck thing comes in though because thats the first I've ever heard.
I think people need to realise that not everything that you see/read is true and that its not always for publicity. [thats not a stab at you though]

EDIT: Everyone knows Britney lipsyncs. It doesn't make it ok but did anyone expect her to sing LIVE.
Chris Brown lipsynced at the VMAs too in case anyone needed another performer from that night.

I pretty much agree with everything you said.

I'm more holding out for what the video clip looks like, I'm one of the ones who feels bad and hopes she can pull her life back together.

Mariah Carey fell apart remember, but she eventually got it back.

I just got a Preferred Seating email for pre-release, and I almost died when I saw how much they are!!!

'Love Seats' $1750
Stools Reserved $625
Toxic Package : $799
VIP GA $310

For $1750 I'd expect more than a concert from her. I'd want a date with EVERYTHING included. In fact, for that much I'd want a lot more than just a bit of action!!

Are they kidding though? $1750 for a concert ticket?????

why would you pay that much to see her lipsyncing?!? even with the theatrics an everything...this is still a 'music' concert. minus the live music. I dunno, personally I'd feel kinda cheated if i paid that much and it was just britney dancing wildly on stage with some pyro and whatnot. yawn.

I want to know what sort of people would pay that much money for a ticket to a concert! I'd probably pay it for a reunion ticket to Pink Floyd, but they'd have to dig up a few graves now to do that.

I despise brittany with a passion. Nothing worse than useless trash being popular and successful. Only a pathetic talentless trashbag would dare mime most of her concerts without shame. So many much more talented artists out there that I wish people would forget about her.

I couldnt stand her latest album it sounded like a 12 year old trying to sing. It was generic pop junk yet it was so successful. Sad really.

Leave britney alone

They'd she'd fade way into non-existence.

Now, if she could just take a few others with her like Trash Bag Paris Hilton, the world would be a much better place.

I am almost tempted to say that her best work is now. I dont think she wants to be like 'back in the days', she is trying to move her career forward.

Fail enough. If people are stupid enough to pay her $$ to watch her mime then so be it.

I can't see it as 'moving forward' though when she is not even being the thing that she claims she is – a singer. She obviously has no issues with credibility – good luck to her I guess but it's pretty weak.

I wonder what she actually sounds like without all the studio trickery.

Really? Real singers may go off-key from time to time live, but that's the great thing about real singers' live performances. Better than the sterile 'perfection' achieved in the studio, and much better than someone who fakes on stage.

I think you misread my post because I agree with you 100%. I don't mind a few fluffed notes or whatever, so long as the singer is really singing and having a real go and NOT using pitch correction etc. That is cheating and not very interesting.

Brit is nothing more than a hack. Talent is non-existent.

The thing is she doesnt even seem to TRY...I mean some ppl sing with voice effects or whatever....britney clearly uses a backing track to every song. Its just embarassing to call yourself a singer and not even be able to sing it good live!!

Tickets went on sale this morning and the Ticketek website was slow but didn't crash for a change......I had to get a ticket for a lady at my mum's work (honest lol).

If fb is anything to go by, tons of my friends are going to this!

Shes been getting bad reviews for miming the entire show and basically moving around the stage like a lump.

Enjoy the show.

That's the opposite of the reviews I've read.

Im basing it on 'user reviews', Britney fans who have now seen the errors of their ways after witnessing the mime her way through the same old.

I'm so over Britney (my tour review)
Ok, so I went to see the tour last night and having calmed down and recollected, I felt the need to just get this off my chest.

I knew she was going to mime, so to pick fault in that would be silly. But there were several times during the night when I was bored and seriously considered leaving ('Ooh Ooh Baby'/'Hot As Ice' and 'Breathe On Me'/'Touch Of My Hand'). True enough, they aren't my favourite tracks, but had they been any different to the studio versions, it might've held my interest.

In fact, that was perhaps my biggest problem. A handful of songs remixed slightly and the rest like-for-like CD tracks. No vocals re-recorded as live, no attempt to acknowledge that most fans have probably heard the songs countless times and don't want to sit there as though they're listening to their iPod and watching someone flail around a stage.

Which really is where it all fell apart. At some point or other in her career, Britney has at least had a small amount of stage presence (that one miming can have), but it's all gone. At times it was hard to pick her out of a crowd of dancers and more frequently, the video screens were a welcome distraction from the docile performance being given. The central stage set-up does not lend itself well to all the action happening on the furthest end away from you, but even less so when the only distraction from the monotony of listening to a playlist of Britney tracks on shuffle is the visual stuff.

The actual crowd interaction was minimal, the whole thing was like a strictly timed hologram, literally nothing happens inside of the confines of the stage different than it happens any other night, it's just looped over and over again.

It was easily the most impersonal concert I've ever been to, I couldn't get excited because I knew nothing unique would happen, every song was going to play out almost as exactly as it does on CD.

Again, I know that I should have expected all of this and it'd be foolish to expect anything more. But like I say, it wasn't just the miming, it was the way the whole thing is articulated. It's the ultimate example of self-indulgency, the arrogance of marching around a playground for the best part of an hour to the sound of her own music, with less than 60 seconds of audience acknowledgement. I wasn't even convinced by the end that she was still moving her lips and by the time 'Womanizer' rolled around, she seemed as eager to leave the stage as the audience did the venue.

The worst thing is, she probably actually doesn't give a crap. How could she gauge audience reaction from only two lucid moments when she actually took the time to look past the edge of the stage. So many people around the venue beforehand had dressed up, I felt sad that the most they got back was a "hey London". But perhaps many of the people there last night did enjoy it, with further tour dates being announced, there's still a considerable market for her to sell to. But I won't be in it any longer.

*loon breakdown*

lulz

Of course there will be bad ones. But mostly Ive read good ones. As if theres going to be 100% good reviews on anything.
Im not a huge fan but Id go and see it if I could. I think it would be a good show. I couldnt care less if she sang or mimed because its about the performance, the dancing etc.
Quite a few reviews I read were from people who were dragged along and didnt want to go but expected to have a laugh actually enjoyed the show that was put on.
Most are just anti Britney because of the recent happenings but shes not the first to go off and do her own thing and wont be the last. Its just that the media follow and sensationalise everything.
And I guess I am one of those people who believe everyone has different likes and dislikes and just because I dont like it doesnt mean everyone doesnt.
Bit like Kylie Minogue – I can not stand her music and still cant understand her fame but at the end of the day she would probably put on a good show.

Im hearing so much hype about the size of the show and all the semi's and jumbos required to transport it all. That would be because they need so much gear to coverup how useless she is at singing and dancing. They will fill up the stage with so many lights, dancers, and props and speakers that you wont even be able to notice her and you will be 'entertained'. Its pure trash entertainment. She is interchangable with any decent looking chick off the streets. It really pisses me off that someone so useless is so popular. A sad sad reflection of todays society.

I just saw some footage of the second leg of Madonna's tour that started yesterday ( I think) and it was pretty good.

I find it amusing that if you want to be entertained by a pop entertainer you have to turn to a 50 year old woman.

~Winter~ writes...

Fair enough. A thread I recently made on a band who I quite enjoy got similar (if slightly more positive) responses to this one, despite the fact that this band can play instruments and sing live.

I would like to know, however, why it doesn't matter that she's lip-syncing. Music is about just that – the music. If she can't sing like she does on the record (or better) without assistance/backing, then she is hardly a musician.

Without sounding like an old podger four times my age, music used to be about technical ability and passion. Now, Britney Spears-a-likes have neither and are more popular than those WITH both musical ability and amazing songwriting prowess.

I've only seen her live on video and such but she's certainly an example of a good pop entertainer. She doesn't sound exactly the same as the record but still has talent.

Or a 50 year old man, as the people who bought tickets for Michael Jackson can attest

Haha. I remember listening to my sister's copy of the second most recent Britney CD (the one that's before Circus... I had to sit in the car with her on the way to school... she was still 17 at the time!) and being so... bewildered that anyone can listen to songs that are about nothing but having sexual intercourse.

If anyone has missed out and would still like to see her, there's tickets that are going for $50 each in Sydney and Perth (Brissy sold out). Sydney have an abundance of tickets, but Perth is pretty limited. Check it out http://greatseats.com.au/bluetix/public/ticket/109/

Really good deal considering its over $100 a ticket.

Probably the same in the sack :(

I just got 2 tix for $50 each.

I'm pretty happy I didn't pay $260 when they were first released...

Yep a real bargain, I organised two tix for my girlfriend and her friend (I really don't wanna go lol). But as I organised the tickets, I realised I put down the wrong DOB of my girlfriend, I got the month and year right, just the day.. her birthday is on the 15th but I always put down the 17th but I know its the 15th!!!

I called up the agency trying to change it but they said they need to speak to my girlfriend. Oh dear I am legit scared of telling her that I got her DOB wrong....

I just found a great ticket on Ebay :)
