it's Britney bitch! — Page 2

to say that Lady Gaga can't sing and Britney can... is one of the most ignorant things i've heard! Im not a big fan of Lady Gaga's voice on CD, but seeing her performances on American Idol/Jonathan Ross/Paul O'Grady, she has an AMAZING voice and writing talent and also very unique style!
Britney... she sings 2 songs live and you get all excited??? Well it's an f-ing concert, she should've sung the WHOLE show live! Those 2 songs were the hardest songs to sing in the world and the reason she didn't sing the other songs are prob becuz there wasn't MUCH to sing ...

britney 'singing' live.... use the term VERY loosely. skip to 1m 40 to hear where she starts. be warned.

Meh... she's good for radio but i wouldn't pay a shed load of cash to go and see her mime along to a cd i can listen to at home. Not that i would... honest!

I dont mind if a pop artist uses support tracks sometimes as they sing live (singing over their own voices on the chorus to strengthen the track) like Madonna, because at leat with her you know 95 percent of the show is LIVE, and when i pay so much to see our Madge i expect to see her LIVE in concert.

Britney fans seem to be under some strange spell where they think that an artist moving her lips to a track for 2 hours is fine because "shes pulled herself together now"

Ouch, that clip is...interesting. I'm not sure I've ever heard her sing live before that. I've actually heard worse live from big pop singers, but yea, not good. At least she sounds something like what you hear on her recorded music I guess. Just off key and out of tune.

I had a ticket to see Britney during her London concerts but gave it up to go to New York instead, I couldn't afford to do both.

I used to love Britney when I was younger - I'm 21 so she hit big with Baby One More Time when I was the right age to be omg totally obsessed crazy about her, she was my first 'girl crush' so to speak, so I wanted to go see her on this tour because I was never able to when I was younger. I started not really caring about seeing her when it all came out about her half hearted dancing and lack of energy (as a ex-dancer, I really loved her dance routines back in the day).

"Britney fans seem to be under some strange spell where they think that an artist moving her lips to a track for 2 hours is fine because "shes pulled herself together now"

I agree with this, I don't think you've 'pulled yourself together' just because you can walk through some dance moves in front an audience, especially when there is no attempt to cover the fact that she is miming. I hate that as a defence for her, why do people seem to expect less of her before she's deemed as brilliant.

And SoonerOrLater - No jumping on you from this Idina fan (yes, I said it, I'm out of the closet here now), I have no problems admitting that Tony performance was awful and she has serious problems with her breathing sometimes. I do actually think Britney's is worse in that clip though, sounds like she's running whilst singing. Or having sex.

Just got to the end of the performance clip. Ouch.

Oh and to those on about Lady Gaga and her bizarre performance on Jonathan Ross, I don't know if you've all heard the rumors too but they say that she did that because she didn't like Jonathan Ross at all, she thought he was a prat when he was interviewing her so she gave a mocking performance. I don't see the sense, but it does make sense in the way that I've never seen her that bad before. I saw her supporting the Pussycat Dolls (the things you do for friendship) and she was good.

"to say that Lady Gaga can't sing and Britney can... is one of the most ignorant things i've heard!"

the performances/clips of Lady Gaga singing live that i've seen are atrocious (namely Jonothan Ross). The rumour about not performing well because Jono Ross was a twat is pathetic...it reflects badly on her not him. Plus a mocking performance wouldn't include singing under key the whole song and suddenly becoming in tune when the chorus came in (which she mimed...) and then screaming her way through the rest of the song was pathetic...

so forgive me if i'm wrong, but wouldn't you rather go see a great performance and a big show that just happened to be mimed than to go to a live concert and it be ruined by sub-par vocals?

"when there is no attempt to cover the fact that she is miming"

tbh i went to that concert knowing she was gonna mime 90% of the show, yeh i was a lil disappointed but again, Britney isn't a great singer, she knows that we all know that so why ruin an otherwise spectacular show? i'd rather it be known she mimed it, than turn up and find out later on that she mimed...then i'd feel cheated!

"Britney fans seem to be under some strange spell where they think that an artist moving her lips to a track for 2 hours is fine because "shes pulled herself together now" "

I don't think this at all...i think good on her for pulling through but i think it's fine for her to mime because i payed the money, i knew what i was getting and if im happy about that, then it doesn't matter, and she more than compensated for lack of real singing with flat out dancing (none of this walking through the motions people seem to be speaking about) hanging off of guys 20ft in the air, acrobatics and a generally awesome show.

And as for your comment Scripps...my flute ain't going anywhere near your mouth!!
