OMG... I attended the show last night when she said that and absoloutley no boo's happened at all!!! The crowd continued cheering, what lieing bastards!!

Shes also not know for Mariah vocals so obviously you're not going to go for that but are you not in the slightest bit disappointed that she doesn't sing live? I reckon a true fan would be

On the other hand, if she can get away with selling them for a high price (which she does, cos she sells out), why would she go lower? People want to see her enough to pay the high prices.

Music is, afterall, a business.

Now the Brits fans are saying its not true. Nothing changes 'round here. LMAO

She is a mediocre gimmick.

I've heard different off someone else who went :whistle:

Oh I do accept that and best of luck to her if shes making as much out of it as she can but I'm just questionning the fairness/value of the ticket for fans thats all.

Not really. The definition of a true fan is someone who sticks by the artist, and if some fans are willing to pay more than a $1,000 for a ticket when she mimes - well that screams true fan to me.

tbh, i was at the show and her dancing was pure brilliance!!

Then go and see Lord of the Dance. She supposed to be a singer too.

Absolutely, I do. I personally love Britney Spears as a performer because I love the hype at her concerta and the hype surrounding her as a superstar, I think she has a kind of stage presence that no other performer these days can match, & I also love her concerts because I love how dedicate her fan base were and how warm everybody was to each other. I absolutely think it's fair and cannot fault her concert last night.

You also have an objective view so obviously you're going to say how great she was. You've probably even got a positive spin to put on her getting the city wrong

I think this is a bit of an unfair point to make actually.

I mean it makes sense that an artist who mimes has a higher priced ticket because they have to employ more dancers, and generally but on a much bigger show to compensate for them miming.

hahaha. Surely as shes a song artist then singing live and writing songs is needed really. Fair enough if shes a dancer full stop.

In your opinion.

And Girth, honestly, I attended also and heard no boos either, if anything the crowd cheered even more because she messed up. Either way there is always going to be conflicting opinions, it's not always at fault of the Britney fans. Change the record.

Artists put huge ticket prices because they know the fans will buy them. Take That are decent and only charge about 50 pounds for a huge production(this tour cost them 10 million) but fans compensate by going to many shows rather than 1 highly priced one.

If she is advertising her shows as "live" and yet she is not singing live (she is famous for being a singer is she not?) then her fans are getting ripped off. Bottom line. I fail to see why people would spend over £50 to hear the studio version of a tune. Performing LIVE should mean that she sings LIVE, not miming to some bullshit backing track.

I thought when concerts we're advertised as live it meant you were seeing them live, like RIGHT THERE, in the flesh, I didn't think it meant live vocals, I may be wrong though. But they're not getting ripped off though, and it is a point that has been raised many times before, if people outside of her fan base seem to be such experts on her miming, obviously her fans know that she mimes, therefore they're not getting ripped off.

It's not a studio version. Britney records 'playback' which is a new version made to sound live. Many other artists do it too, even ones who don't mime. It's for better effect.

Her fans are obviously happy about seeing her stand on a stage and dance, rather than sing. She sells out, and everyone knows she mimes, so it's not a question of that.

Just I, personally, couldn't bear to spend that much money to see someone dance when they're a singer. Maybe it's cos I don't appreciate "hype", I appreciate talent.

Sure :whistle:

Sure what? David, they're called pre-recorded vocals. Look them up, that post is was just idiotic.

Talent isn't necessarily just singing. She's a very talented dancer too.

Samee, yeh I'm sure the atmosphere is amazing but I'd feel robbed if they weren't actually 'making music/singing'

LOL what the ****ery? Of course, seeing as she is a SINGER, she should be singing live! That is the whole reason she became famous! That is like going to see what's advertised as a football match and the football players play ping pong instead.

But she is famous for being a singer.
