Britney Spears, who is currently on the second leg of her North American tour The Circus starring Britney Spears, busted out a surprise performance in Greensboro, NC last night. In addition to her normal setlist, Britney interjected a LIVE performance of the Alanis Morissette hit You Oughta Know:
It’s unclear if this new number is going to be repeated at future concert stops or if it was a one-time-only special performance. I understand they had problems with the rigging equipment and Britney was not able to make her usual entrance to the stage by descending from the rafters, nor was she able to fly on her huge umbrella to perform Everytime. Perhaps this cover was a special gift to the audience for the rigging problems. After the jump, check out video of Britney performing You Oughta Know …
I added a few videos so that you could see/hear Britney‘s performance from different angles/perspectives. She sounds amazing and what a great song. Do you suppose she decided to do this song as a shout-out to THIS person? I really hope this was not a one time occurrence, I would love for our dear Britney to perform new/different cover songs at upcoming shows. It occurs to me that Britney may record this song for inclusion on her upcoming singles collection CD. She recorded Bobby Brown‘s My Prerogative for her last greatest hits album, covering Alanis on her new collection makes total sense. What songs do you think Britney should cover in concert?

omg that is amazing. please brit, let this be the direction your music is going, i will be able to die and go to heaven a very happy man!
I’ve always said that if Brit sang in her range she has a great voice and well, we all know she can perform….it’s when they make her sing too high, but as an alto…she’s great! love this :)
i really like it
That was WAY better than I expected.
this is one of my all time favorite songs. ;) So hells yes!
hate pants but man, who cares the girls got the body for them.
She sang something live? Wow! I’m impressed.
PANTS.NOT.FLATTERING
What was she thinking?
Also, I think the song might be aimed at Trawick not Federline – haven’t seen her & agent man together in a while
:(
This song is aimed at someone you still care about – she does NOT care about K Fed ;)
I’d like to say something in favor of Brit – even tho she’s not “my thang”…. Her belly might not be perfect – but it’s wayyy better than what most women could get back to, after having 2 kids so close together…. and actually, better than what some get back to after they only had one kid…. AT LEAST she didn’t go get nasty liposuction or something and end up with hideous dimples and uneveness. And yes, the pants – need to be thrown away.
But I have to admire people who actually WORK their bods back into shape (even if that’s all I admire about them)… She’s still not physically perfect, but no one is. :)
I was there and she DEF was singing live. She sounded amazing!! Also, she was alble to make her entrance from the rafters, but she did not fly on the umbrealla for “everytime.”
dear lord where is her stylist? those pants make her look chunky!
@CHASE: Was that supposed to make sense?
@Pixie: I strongly disagree that most women would be able to get back to a figure like hers after having even one child. If you were commenting on her weight loss regime or diet I MIGHT agree, because a “normal” person wouldn’t have the same resources as Britney. But she’s not super-human, there’s nothing special about her, she’s got an average figure, she just happens to have a career that requires a lot of physical activity. With that level of activity most women COULD get back to that, or better. That said, it’s quite sickening when people call her fat, because she isn’t.
Alanis is awesome. This song is awesome. Britney singing this song is a gazillion times more awesome than anything
THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!
“You Outta Know” is one of my favourite songs ever and Britney really did it justice. I’m so proud that she is singing live, and singing live WELL.
Go Britney – can’t wait to see you LIVE in November!!
She did really good! Go Britney
I would love if Britney sang stuff with a little more edge like this, it sounds great.
I was there!!! OMG.. she sing it live 100%
Sounds good :)
Perhaps Britney should try something of Delta Goodrem. I would like to hear Lost Without You by Britney.
I was at this show and she sang it LIVE no lipsynching. She sounded and looked AWESOME! I had floor seats and this picture does NO justice to how great she looked. Keep it coming Brit!!!
Wow, that was live? I watched this at another blog but it was not mentioned that she sang live. She sounded great.

She sounded great! Her voice is nothing to die for, but it’s pleasant and I like listening to it. I hope she sings live more often. I think she may be gaining back the confidence she so sorely needs if she is to sing live on a consistent basis.
