This lip sycing drama is getting ridiculous… it’s just a concert. I went searching for Britney’s feedback and found this super cool article: http://www.younghollywood.com/tech-and-l ifestyle/

I downloaded the app so I could get the latest. Check it out.

So far as I know, Britney Spears has NEVER sung a song in concert in her entire life. Not ONE. It’s not just this tour; it’s every tour and every concert appearance whatsoever. And maybe not in the recording studios either. Maybe Britney is possibly the new Milli Vanilli i.e. a 100% fraud.

Haha the problem seems to be more the media reporting than what actually happened. It’s true that something like 100 fans left the show very early on, and the reporter was standing outside interviewing 20-25 of them while even more walked past her. It’s not quite true to say it was about the lip-synching… stories about that were in the news earlier in the day with Virginia Judge’s comments, but even my friends who stayed for the whole show either said they couldn’t see anything due to the lack of big screens, or that if they could see her, her dancing was half hearted and stiff. Also she didnt interact with the crowd. I think Perth does have high expectations of bands – being a large enough city to support big bands while at the same time being 1600mi/2700km from any other city, we get a fairly crowded concert season and so people may have seen more shows and do come to expect a bit. That’s a pressure other bands (REM and Cranberries come to mind) have not handled well in the past. However, Pink and Kylie Minogue and Rihanna have all performed here in the past year or so and fans generally seemed happy with them (including my same friends who were unhappy with Britney).

To me lip-synching goes against making and performing music. There are many people who can sing and dance at the same time. That is talent. If you cannot do that then I say just choose one and stick with it. Why doesn’t she just gyrate her hips at some burlesque house instead or a strip bar because that’s all she’s doing! Give up making music because she clearly cannot sing live so why continue?

Say whatever you want about her being foremost a performer and all that nonsense because that was not what made her famous in the first place. Lip-synching really gets on my nerves…its just cheating in my books. Remember Milli Vanilli? Where does it end? How can you tell if what you hearing in these concerts is actually the artists real singing voice?

I agree with peter above. Why not disclose this fact on the tickets? Its just plain cheating!

If lip-synch in a gig is not a big deal, then why it would be a big deal to mention lip-sync in the ads when selling tickets?

Let the audience know what they are buying and make their own decisions based on that.

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!! Leave her alone! She’s the hottest chick on the planet. So what if she lipsynchs? I’d pay $1,300 any day to see that gorgeous thing bounce around on stage. Yes, I’d drink her bath water.

Jill it’s no mystery, Britney was terrible. We expect more for our money. We know she bloody lip synchs this isn’t the issue the issue is that she didn’t deliver she just gyrated and moved her hips around and that’s supposed to compensate…..??

If your gonna keep sending us talentless artists then we don’t care if artists come or not! Give us Pink back anyday – there is some talent!!
