Oh Sugar!
Looks like Britney Spears is gonna have to work harder if she wants to impress Australians.
Britney was 3 songs into her show in Perth Australia Friday night when fans started bolting for the door!
YES! You read right…fans were leaving her concert. HUNDREDS of them.
They were very angry that they spent between $182 and $1370 US dollars to see Britney Lip Sync!
“We are really big Britney fans, but it was crap,” Josh Blee told local reporters. “She has let us down. Added Amanda Hawlet, who drove two hours to Perth’s Burswood Dome, “I want my money back or I want her to sing properly. It cost me half a week’s wage….it was a waste.”
RadarOnline reports: Even the Australian government has gotten involved in the dispute. New South Wales Minister for Fair Trade Virginia Judge is considering requiring Britney to disclose on tickets for future shows that she doesn’t sing live. “Australians would not tolerate a ‘Mickey Mouse’ performace,” Judge told the Sydney Daily Telegraph. “Let’s be clear. Live means live.”
Even though we love Britney, Australia does have a valid point. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Stay tuned…

If I HAD to watch a Britney Spears concert, I think her lip syncing might make my ears bleed a little less than if she sang LIVE.

If you’re at a Britney Spears concert, you’re a fan. If you’re a fan, you’ve seen her perform before and should know for pretty much her entire career, except for the beginning, she’s been lipsynching!! And its the CD track, she really doesn’t try to hide it! So the Australian fans and press and people who are walking out of the concert are idiots! You should know this already! And you don’t go to a Britney Spears show to hear her sing!! Her voice isn’t that great! You go to see the spectacle, she would sound terrible singing and dancing at the same time and you’d really walk out. She’s not known for being a big vocal talent, duh!!!

Britney needs to take singing lessons and learn to perform live.
How can we be sure that she isn’t a Milli Vanilli act in any event? Maybe someone else sings on her records?

It’s about time someone demanded an authentic performance. If you’re a singer – SING.
