David, tell me is this the studio version? No, it sounds live. It's called playback, bitch.

No sorry, I didn't mean she wasn't talented at all. I just meant the fact she's touted as a singer, and you only get the dancing side of it. The fans still go, cos of the hype - but I meant I'd rather just have singing + dancing and no hype.

I don't see talent in her shows.
I see a backing track, some out there outfits and back up dancers.

Why pay money to see that.

Oh right, yeah! That's a fair enough opinion.

David has epically failed with that post.

Fair enough, but her fans will. All her shows have sold out, as others have mentioned, which answers the question that her fans don't care, whilst other people do.

I'd pay to see her if I had the money - singing's only one aspect of her performance. I'd expect it from other musicians, but with her...there's an exception for some reason.

And I don't understand the argument "she shouldn't tour, shouldn't charge that much". The fans aren't being ripped off, they're conscientously and willingly buying the tickets for a reason, because they're fans.

[DamonJ]

I'm not going to continue with this thread as everyone's posts are just getting recycled and the same points are going around and around. In my opinion, the fans are NOT being ripped off as they KNOW to expect lip syncing and not live vocals, they go to see a spectacle, to be entertained and that's what Britney does. I even said in an earlier post that it's obvious she still has a pretty amazing unique voice and I think she should have attempted 'Everytime' live despite her confidence being hugely knocked over the past few years. Even if they get labelled as appreciating hype over talent, I would very much rather go see an, in some people's opinions, 'overpriced' show with lots of dancing, movement and entertainment than a drab, cheap show with live vocals, yet no stage presence, hype or feeling whatsoever. I know my opinion may seem biased because I am a Britney Spears fan, but this topic is purely down to preference, would you rather see a show with on-point vocals and a calm atmosphere? Or a show with lip syncing, but dancing, tricks and an epic hype?

I do respect people's opinions on that she is famous for being a singer and that she should sing, but she has sung many songs live at previous tours, this tour is purely going ahead to get her back out there interacting with the public, and one bad live song would get her SLAMMED and knock her confidence big time.

I'm glad this thread has not resorted to an argument though, and has not created any hard feelings, but I am just tired, in general being subconciously degraded because I'd much rather go see an artist mime than sing live.

I wouldn't know, I don't know what the studio verison sounds like. And I'm not watching that video, I don't want to put myself through the pain of watching that pathetic exuse for a musician.

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.

Its a perfectly fair point. As Princess has already pointed out Take That charged about the same price for a huge production AND they sung live. A Take That ticket would be worth a lot more than a Britney ticket and a TT concert would be an all round better experience. Singing live adds to the experience.

Does anyone really care what she does???

Then don't make stupid assertions about her music.

Saying she doesn't sing live is stupid? And I'll make whatever assertions I want about her music

Some people on here always like to put her down - no matter what they'll claim it to be. It used to be really bad.

Here's the way I see it:

Britney fans aren't bothered if she sings live or not, you won't complain because you love her, not a bad thing at least you stick with your favourite singer!

Others will not care really, complain about the miming but they wont get it because they aren't a fan of hers. If she sang bad live it would be worse, catch 22 for her!

I on the other hand wouldn't go to see a pop singer/band, I prefer bands that play live at festivals, snow patrol, arctic monkeys, blur etc etc.

If Britney really cared about her fans she would sing live. Madonna never mimes.

Exactly, which is what I've been pointing out throughout but it's just a continual argument on here.

Yes but Madonna is clinging onto her fame for as long as she can, she has no credibility and is nowadays a laughing stock.
