what they expect her to actually SING!?

It took people this long to realize she lipsyncs?!

this makes Australia look terrible

Nah, its more than that, it was because she lip synced really really badly and it was blatantly obvious to the point that she wouldn't even be moving her mouth and the song was still playing. Pretty lol that politicians are jumping on this though.

oh Britney how could you let me down like this, I thought you really did sing like a robot!

Ehh, I don't get refunds when good bands play shitty shows.

ha i must not pay attention to her but does she really lipsync all her shows?

Of course, she is a mainstream pop act that doesn't write her own music.

Well put John.

they just need to tape a sign on her head thats "YA'LL IM NOT REALLY SINGIN'!"

This news title says Australia as if she hasn't already angered the world. But lol at the politicians, that's pretty darn funny.

it does seem a little naive that people would think she would actually sing at her shows, and that comment from john mayer actually made me chuckle..damn him

This has been funny following it in the media, all I care about is that Tiger Woods is in Aus. Hopefully he want no play golf....

hmmmm

haha very good point prophet

They should be thankful that what comes out of the speakers at her concerts is indeed not her real voice.

Singing while doing that stupid choreography must be tough though, give her a break.

I've read stories from sound engineers that do gigs like this saying working the board is a nightmare
just because they have to hear that the entire time.

i'm surprised at how much the media has run with this.

a lot of fans are complaining not only of the obvious lip-syncing, but just the overall sloppiness of her performance.

This is absurd.

Breaking news in Australia the sky is blue...

Thanks John Mayer... really obvious, she's done that since the beginning.

fuckin bitch

the real crime is people paid to see britney spears...ZING! (

I never thought people went to a Britney show for her singing haha

She should just stop now until more countries start hating her....

I live here and my sister is seeing her thursday, and she already knew she lip synced before she bought tickets. It was common knowledge for christ's sake.

"my sister is seeing her thursday..."

Alligator, it's ok. You can admit that your seeing Britney Spears, no one is going to judge you.

Yeah go Australia, show the rest of the world how smart we are.....
Still pretty funny that its been made such a big deal out of.

You expect her to sing while she's jumping around shaking her naughty bits for everyone all the while doing an elaborate dance routine? Heresy I say! She's only but one woman!

thats a really good tit pic.

Good to see they're focusing on the important issues down in Australia.

Only the most important. She's such a worthless artist. I don't even understand why people would want to pay to watch someone dance sloppily and lipsync. All they have to do is venture down to the local pub and they can get that for about 60$ cheaper.

hilarious news.

Mayer: 1
Spears: 0

This title made me really intrigued lol.

I was wondering what she went of and did that pissed off an entire continent specifically

lol john mayer. you wouldnt believe how big this story is in aus right now.

everyone wants a piece of brit.

Haha this reminds me of that south park episode where she tries to commit suicide

You know what the funniest thing is?

I have friends who went to that concert and loved it, they reckoned she was awesome.

I hate some of my friends, lol.

Hopefully they're girls.

Hahaha, yeah, they were.

@ Prophet she's finally starting to write some of her own songs now, but still it's mostly the producers/writers doing the work.

This isn't a big surprise to me that she lip syncs, frankly I don't think she wanted to do the tour from a report I read a long time ago. Her dad and manager are in control and can fuck things up for her since she has the conservatorship hanging over her head. So until the the conservatorship is up Britney will just go through the motions of performing.

Oh australia babeh babeh, you're so toxic

this is lol

my sister went to the show, said it was good, i was all like nah

These people really, really should have known what they were in for when they bought tickets.

no, i agree with them 100 percent, if you pay 200 dollars for a 'live' show, you should be fucking getting a live show

not some fat white trash doing nauseating dance moves while pretending to sing

i very much enjoyed john mayer's comment.

They should go the extra mile and ban lip syncing altogether, it's a blatant insult to fans.

Not to fans who know what they are in for.

You should know that fans who prefer a charade to legitimate talent are in the overwhelming minority.

Not according to the record and concert sales.

You're assuming that every teeny bopper who buys her albums knows that she's a syncer. I wasn't just referring to Britney either, but entertainment in general. People don't go to live shows to watch music videos.

Oh HELL no!

Dude this is proof right here. 100 out of the thousands in the venue left, the rest were perfectly fine wasting their money on a shitty singer putting on a shitty performance.

Again, you don't know that all of these people know she's a syncer. To tell if somebody is syncing you have to be reasonably close to them...I'll bet the 100 that left were angry that they paid for front row seats. Anyway, when you buy a ticket to a concert, you don't usually think "they'll probably be faking it the whole time". That isn't enjoyable. I'd rather save my money.

Thats the difference between us and mainstream music fans. Mainstream music fans don't care about the music, as long as it is easy to digest or fun to dance to it's good. The same thing goes for the shows, they aren't going to a Britney Spears concert to see a world class singer show off her vocal range, they are going for a theatrical performance featuring the singer.

Almost all mainstream pop singers lipsync, its a well known fact. If fans went to a Britney Spears show expecting to see her sing then they are either naive or stupid.

There would be a lot more people leaving the concert if Britney really was singing.

You are seriously underestimating mainstream music fans. They do care about the music, perhaps not to the depth that other people do but almost everyone in the world respects music just like any other talent and if they encounter someone who had become successful through deceptive marketing technique, they would react angrily like a sane person. There's a difference between people who listen to music at parties and in the car, and people who go to concerts. I can't remember the last time I went to a concert where I didn't care about the performers.

Well I'm saying that the numbers pretty much prove the opposite. Britney has made millions of dollars doing lipsynced shows her entire career and selling records that other people have written for her to be digestible for the mainstream.

I think the difference with this show is that it must have been really, really bad in terms of her performance. I hope videos surface of this so we can see just how bad she was.

Britney Spears is one of those rare artists whose album sales and merchandise generate faaaaar more revenue than her touring does. Despite that, yes she does lip sync all the time, but it's unreliable and has made fools out of many singers in the past. It's absolutely ludicrous that record labels are still allowing it. So it's just catching up to her, now it's time to finally deal with it. Just because she has dominated with no talent in the past doesn't mean her reign should continue.

when i first glanced at the news title, i thought it said "...Angers Aguilera" and i was like OH SHI-

pretty much what mayer said

this is fairly lol

well done australia

fuck yeah John Mayer

That's m' boy, John

fail

Well this is what happens when you cant sing! Nice rack though.

John Mayer is oficially awesome in my book

Mayer ftw

AND THERES MORE!
Santa Claus is not real at all!!

Politicians are pretty dumb for not knowing about this in the first place.

Perceived notion my friend.

Once again...there would be a lot more people leaving the concert if Britney really was singing. This is not a bad thing!

Truth^^^^

An estimated 100 confused fans left the venue mid-concert

Tony Martin weighs into the proceedings.

http://thescrivenersfancy.com/scarcely-relevant/2009/11/11/quiet-you-mimes.aspx

Why are so many people surprised that a Britney Spears concert turned out to be rubbish? Isn’t that a bit like visiting a sewage treatment plant and complaining that there’s shit everywhere? If it had turned out to be any good, that would have been news. ‘Britney Spears Concert Actually Not Bad’; there’s your front-page bombshell. ‘Hundreds of fans, who paid up to $1500 a ticket, stormed out of the Burswood Dome concert’, reports the Herald Sun. Surely the real story there is ‘Idiot Pays $1500 To See Britney Spears Concert’.

Not that anyone seems too bothered by ‘miming scandals’ these days. Twenty years ago, when the tape stopped behind Betty Boo at Frankston’s Twenty First Century Dance Club, the outrage lasted weeks. Miss Boo was met at the stage door by a lynch mob, entirely clad in acid wash, and Gavin Wood demanded a Royal Commission. But these days, people are more likely to say, ‘Oh, but they’ve got so much dancing to do, they really have to mime, don’t they?’ It’s now accepted that rock concerts must incorporate a fair bit of Aerobics Oz Style in order to keep the ADD-addled audience from texting.

she's britney spears. what do you expect?

Tony Martin's a genius.

agreed.

why is she still in the music business?

cause she makes millions of dollars a year when millions of people buy her music this is not hard

Cry about it ya wankaas!



Get it! (shoots self in brain)
