Fans who were able to see a very rare concert with Britney Spears performing at The House of Blues are now crying fowl because she was lip synching, they accused. Britney Spears took the stage with her new the M and M’s, wearing a brown wig and her usual strange dance outfits for her performance.
Fans of the pop star loved the performance but now a day later, there seems to be a backlash as many are angry that she did not sing live. This is a strange accusation for Britney fans to make because she has rarely ever sung live. In the course of her career Spears has sung live infrequently and it is usually ballads that are sung live. I think the fans who are most upset are the ones who paid $500 for $35 tickets just to see Britney “live” after almost 4 years. Spears did not lip synch to any new music, she instead performed old hits that include: Slave 4 you, and Baby One More Time.
In her concerts when her microphone is turned on for her to talk to the audience, you can hear Spears gasping and trying to catch her breath and seconds later when she breaks back into song, she is smoothly singing without a problem, yet somehow her fans are just catching on that she might not be the “live” singer they thought she was.
Britney Spears is a performer. That means that she is a great dancer and gives an overall good performance when you go to see her in concert. If you are expecting a great singing show, it would be best to hit a Christina Aguilera concert because she at least can sing but she doesn’t quite have the moves of Britney.
The “concerts” if they can be called that were short at only 11 and 12 minutes long. In one concert, a fan threw what looked to be a marshmallow at Spears and it just missed her when her bodyguards escorted the singer offstage because of that little incident.
In another move Britney seemed to take the words from one of her songs “Toxic” in which she sings, “I need a hit, baby give me it” and gave them a whole new meaning as she put her fingers to her nose and mimicking snorting cocaine with a smile.
In the same week as her concerts and upset fans, Britney Spears made more headline news as new pictures were released to the media showing an almost topless Spears smiling while holding two flowers over her uncovered breasts. Spears camp has come out swinging and says that Britney is very upset and disappointed that someone put these pictures out there for all to see.
The media has spouted off all week about Britney Spears’ topless photos, which is a bit untrue and considering the bottomless shots seen around the world before, these should be the least embarrassing photos ever taken of Britney Spears.
TMZ.com has two videos of the concerts in question and you can take a look at them for yourselves at these links.
