Brintey plays the piano, and no one on here has called her a musician other than Dance2Night. Christina Aguilera mimed at the VMAs this year, have you lost all respect for her?

Circus is far less digitally edited than Blackout. In fact the only song on Blackout which is notably enhanced is "Womanizer", which in my opinion is for effect.

It's a shame Britney never shows the public what she's capable of then. As for Xtina, I am disappointed in her, I presume she has her reasons but whatever they are, of course I'm disappointed in that. However, that was ONE time. I'm not condoning it, but I do see that it can be overlooked considering she sings live pretty much every other time she performs, and more importantly, on her world tours.

And? Britney's an ENTERTAINER. Singing live whilst doing full on dancing will not dwell well because it'll weaken her vocals. Miming/using pre-recorded vocals creates a better effect upon the dancing.

Britney's always mimed on shows - why the **** do you only care now? She isn't the first to mime this series. Mariah did and so did Same Difference. Why hasn't that created a big uproar like this? Oh yeah, because it's fun to insult Britney Spears.

Simon obviously doesn't give a **** otherwise he'd have said she couldn't perform.

All I have to say on the matter :)

Now why can't she sing like this all the time? She should really go back to this style of music rather than her computerized tracks. I'd be quite happy to watch her to perform that on The X Factor.

The thing is - Womanizer isn't a ballad, is it? :P

Why do people always make a big deal out of a tiny thing, when its got Britney involved with it..

Did same difference sing live yesterday no?
The X Factor finalists when they sang hero no?

So whats the big deal, with all the dancemoves she does at the end when they talk to her she is so out of breath.. how would you expect her to sing and do the moves to?

Britney always puts on a show, I don't think not singing live is really an issue, it's not the first time this series somebody has mimed, and hell, she's not even performed yet, maybe she'll sing live!

I think it's unfair for people to jump on her back when she's not actually performed/sung yet...



However, I do object to a Britney week, she's got a very small discography in comparison to other artists, it's a bit convenient really, but I do hope it means people will be singing up tempo songs (looking for Diana and Eoghan to impress here - they have a young fan base, they might as well appeal to them!) this week!

To quote Britney, "There's only two types of people in the world; the ones that entertain and the ones that observe".

I think Britney's the former :wink:

I couldn't care if she mimes or not, and that goes for anyone else. If it entertains me, then that's all that matters. Picking out things just to argue about is pointless. Mime/no mime;Meh?

Please, let it go.
Britney is the biggest star to ever perform on the X Factor - fact.
She is an entertainer. Yep, Christina is a better vocalist but Britney is a thousand times better than Christina as a whole act - dancing and just general stage presence.
Britney is an AMAZING entertainer GET OVER IT.

LOVE her voice.

who cares if she mimes? This contest is about the contestants ability to sing, not Britneys ability.

If it bothers you that much then don't watch the part when she sings.

+karma for actually being positive.

That has to be one hella smart PC if it can make her talking sound like this.

Britney plays the paino. She created the harmony for Everytime through the piano.

Britney can sing and I really do hope that she sings live but sadly I dont think she will.
