It’s sad that people are OK with the fact that she lip-syncs…Why pay so much money for someone to dance to a song you already have. The Aussies made a good point, it could have been ANYONE on that stage. Hell, go to any club in the USA and look for a cute, bleach blonde girl dancing to “3″…and you see it for free. GO AUSSIES FOR STANDING YOUR GROUND! I really don’t like that the US Media has been dissing the Aussie fans for taking a stance. For shame!

I have a feeling more people would have walked out if she HAD sang live!

I went to her Saturday concert and while I wasn’t expecting her to sing live, it was a tad disappointing that there wasn’t much audience interaction. Nonetheless, she really did put up a great performance and that was more important to me. The dance routines and the stage works were awesome! And finally seeing her perform live is like a childhood dream come true!

I have always felt that Britney should lipsynch because honestly she can’t sing live – I remember her singing Everytime live on some award show and it was dreadful, I felt really bad for her. She looked like she wanted to run off stage and I wouldn’t have blamed her if she did. She is a performer more so than a singer.

If I had a choice to hear her sing or watch her dance I would choose dancing. Her recordings are so over dubbed and manipulated that she could sound like her albums anyway.

It’s hard to sing and dance so the bottom line for me if I am going to see Christina then I want to hear her sing, if I am going to see Britney I would rather see her dance…

OOPS SPELT THE FAKE’S NAME WRONG!
sorry i was using the new ‘Britney spell checker’ ;)
EVEN PINK’S NAME IS EASY TO SPELL.

why would anyone waste money on a lip syncing singer at a LIVE concert?

maybe it should be called LIVE CONCERT-(except for pathetic lip syncing).

i have seen Pink live twice, she is amazing. Always sings live and is a good performer. I have seen Christina twice always sings live and is also a good performer. Have never and will never see Britney live, I can watch the same performance from Britney for free on my tv, I am a dancer and her dancing is also lackluster so to use that as an excuse for her lipsynching really isnt a good point.

It is kind of hard to get that audotune sound live without lipsyncing. :-P

I went to the Perth Friday night concert and i thought it was awsome ! I bought the tickets full well knowing she would be lip syncing but bought the tix anyway I was more interested in seeing her performance. I think she did a great job and would go see her again! And i did not see mass amounts of people walking out what a load of rubbish !

Damn, after a decade of the same thing, people should know by now that when you see Britney Spears in concert, it’s 99% lyp-synched.

I went to the Perth concert Saturday night. It was a good show, but not having big screens was a problem. They didnt sell all the tickets so for the last couple of weeks they have been going for $50. I paid $150 so i feel like im just funding K-Fed. Thats why it was a record crowd cos of the cheap tickets and most of the venue was allocated to standing (only reason for record number). I have to say Pinks concert was awesome and i was disappointed by Britneys.

@Bubba — Those vocals have been manipulated to make her sound that way. The same hoax was perpetrated on Beyonce earlier this year.

For the love of Britney!!! they walk out after only 3 songs? … jeez – give a performer a chance to warm up!!
Why do I think this was an pre-organised walk out? … if they were ‘real’ fans (as they claimed to be) they would have stuck it out till the end.

I think that the thing really is, she is a performer, who performs quite well. An entertainer that entertains quite well. But she is also a singer, but she doesn’t sing.
Wait, if I did my job half ways, would I get paid my entire pay check ? No. And that is wrong.
But I love Britney and I wanted to see her when she came over here, but I was on holiday =(

Just thought I would preface this by saying that I am Australian… Anyway, the thing I don’t get is what these whingers expected… it is Britney Spears, of course she is lip syncing. I’m not having a go at her vocal ability, just commenting that she spends most of the time dancing and performing, and that is what you go to see. Its not likely that she is going to be able to deliver a decent vocal performance at the same time, so she lip syncs, which is fair enough I reckon. If you want a live show, go and see someone else… easy!

AND MICHAEL JACKSON LIPSYNCHED 95% OF HIS CAREER! His famous Mow Town performance, his concerts,and everything else he lipsynched. Did people give him flack for it? No, they didn’t. If Rihanna or Beyonce lipsynched would they get any flack? No, the media wouldn’t even DARE to do so. Double standards are gross.

People are fucking stupid. If you can’t afford to go somewhere then why do you bitch about the price? I mean, c’mon now. In my opinion, $200 dollars isn’t even that much. It’s cheap. I spent $525 for Britney (including my sister’s ticket) and I had a blast. I know what I was expecting. Britney is a performer, not a singer. She could sing and she does sing well but Jive doesn’t want her to expose her singing voice. It’s quite good, I think. People are just inane with all of their bitching. Britney is extremely talented but I don’t know what her deal is these days but people need to get over it. Who cares if you spent a weeks wage? It’s your fault. This is Britney Spears we’re talking about. Idiots. Oh, and I would rather here someone fake sing then gasp for air.

Yeah I think this whole talk of “research” is silly. People that are willing to spend that much on a ticket are obviously fans, so really should know that Britney is famous for lip synching. This conversation has been going on for over 10 years regarding Britney and people need to get over it.

Seriously this doesn’t require any real research. I’m a fan of Britney AND Pink. I went to both of their concerts this year. I went to Britney’s knowing she wouldn’t sing most songs, and I went to Pink’s knowing she would be singing. I think any legitimate fan would know these things about these artists,

I remember, back in the day, my mom always liked Christina better and my grandma always liked Britney better. I loved both for different. Christina is hands-down the better singer, while I always thought (and still do think) Britney puts on a better overall performance. I don’t think Britney’s awesomeness has ever been based on having a supreme voice.

And I think Pink’s a badass because she does cirque du soleil craziness and sings her ass off at the same time. Hence why she’s one of my favorite singer/performers :).
