Britney's Big Debut!

Filed under: Britney Spears > Francophilia

Britney Spears unveiled a brand new song to her set list at the Paris stop of her Circus tour on Sunday.

Watch her performance of Mannequin, off her latest album, (above)!

P.S. Are U happy with that song choice? We would have prefered Kill The Lights or some old school jam instead, like Born To Make You Happy, Stronger or Oops!

You can cry your eyes out of your head. Baby, baby, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care. You can cry again. My face like a mannequin. ♫

I'm completely overjoyed about her song choice, TBH. Although I do agree with you, Kill the Lights would have also been a great number.

She's gross, I will never pay to see her again.
She's not talented and too over hyped.
Her radar video was crap, a lot of more talented younger kids can do alot better.

i would have preferred "OOPS!" but its good.

WUT A TIME WASTER!! OF COURSE THE TRAIN WRECK IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. MAKES LIPSYNCING THAT MUCH EASIER!!!!!!!!!!! SMDH.
Cat1220 says – reply to this

12

Hey that's like exactly where my seats were in Minnesota lol. She is amazing, I'm glad to see her dancing like that too! Song choice was good, I really liked the falling mannequin pieces and the creepy faces at the end!!! Stronger or Oops! would have been a better choice in my opinion, but she looks great either way! xoxo
Cat1220 says – reply to this

13

I agree though, the outfit was a little lackluster… I wish they would have spiced it up, somehow made her look like a mannequin? That would be cool.. Plus some sweet robot moves hahah jk

Oh how I love La Britney Spear, pero homegirl can't move anymore! They seriously need to get her off the meds! And I was disappointed with her "Radar" music bideo, so I'm coming out with a spoof called "Gaydar" instead!

Actually, Mannequin is an appropriate description of Brit. Wooden personality, or dumb as wood.
runnergal says – reply to this

16

She is so lethargic when she dances. It's like she doesn't care! It's not like she is singing, so she should be giving a little more with the dancing… glad I don't waste my money on seeing her. Waste of money.
idevenn says – reply to this

17

wow you'd think they could have come up with better choreography I mean she's already lip syncing which is bad enough
carogeezy says – reply to this

Mannequin was one of my favorite songs off her album! I wish it would be released as a single. Trouble is another song that should be released as a single or featured on her tour. It was a bonus track on the album available through iTunes but it's seriously one of her best songs!!! LONG LIVE BRIT xoxo
Tiarnana says – reply to this

19

such a good song, but the choreography is awful! =/
melodyhatesu says – reply to this

20

I think it's a great choice! She only does THREE songs from Circus and this is the CIRCUS tour, so it only makes sense she would do another song. Plus with the whole video of her rehearsing it- we knew it was going to come into play eventually.

I love the dance moves, love the song - don't like the outfits…those suck.
topi says – reply to this

21

great song but not an impressive performance.. :S
merbingo says – reply to this

22

LOVE mannequin but would have preferred Gimme More, Kill the Lights, or Unusual you.
kkro says – reply to this

23

my favorite track on Circus, but I was so bored with this video! Ever since Gimme More she doesn't dance anymore in her performances, she just kinda stands there and moves her hands a bit. I thought that after so many performances on her tour she would have gained a bit of confidence and enegry, but she dances like she's exhausted. Not cool….
kittykat3544 says – reply to this

24

I like the song but this performance is waaaay too lackluster for it. No energy. The outfit, jeans and a tank? Seriously? Thrown together quickly IMO. Bring back the choreography from last summer!!!

love that song
SUPER14 says – reply to this

26

OMG I AM GLAD SHE DID A NEW SONG BUT THAT SONG? I LOVE IT AND I LOVED WHEN THAT VIDEO LEAKED WAY BACK THEN OF HER REHERSASING IT BUT HONESTLY. I WOULD OF LIKED "KILL THE LIGHTS" OR "SHATTERED GLASS" AND IF ITS AN OLDIE IT HAS TO BE "GIMME MORE" COME ON PEREZ ITS THE HER BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!

If I was at a concert & saw this garbage, I would start killing people.
Rafaelakatito says – reply to this

28

its nice to see britney dancing to the whole song…and i even like the song choice, but the presentation of it is really bad. First.. look at the outfits. How plain and boring. This is a CIRCUS and u come out with a shirt and jeans????
Then.. there are no Mannequins on stage or anything on stage for that matter. just them dancing in a circle. Its just too simple and very boring. I expected way better than that. Come on Brit put some effort into what u do now a days.

I would have prefered her not singing any song to begin with… Oh wait..
jonathanpatric says – reply to this

30

I love her! I would've preferred Kill the Lights or Unusual You
Manniquin is my LEAST favorite off the album. It's actually one of my least favorites! It's down there with "(I Got That) Boom Boom!" with the awful Ying Yang Twins. Dance is tight though,

This hog sucks ass.
You.Eff.Oh says – reply to this

And after looking at the lyrics, I feel this song is about Joan Rivers.. "My Face, like a mannequin"

Mystery Person says – reply to this

34

She's boring.

She looks NEKKID in the top banner — down to selling the old tired sex routine again, eh ?

They all do they when the lack of lasting talent becomes obvious.
Moimeme says – reply to this

35

Where is Britney here anyway? I can't even tell. It's like there's a boombox going in a gym with (excellent) dancing…but am I the only one who finds Britney's career a ripoff? I blame Britney for the post-80s-Michael-Jackson deterioration of mainstream pop after hip hop and grunge split off a lot of the audience. Please, people, just listen to the Jonas Brothers if you like pop that requires actual talent to create and perform so we can bring it back. Pop used to be diverse and awesome. Most people have forgotten what it even sounded like.

isent the title Mannequin off of katy perrys album? title stealer!!
rachelinala says – reply to this

37

Happy with the choice…….BUT……she should have released Unusual You then Mannequin, not the lame fucking If You Seek Amy & Radar! So pissed & disappointed about that decision.

She has come a long way since 2007…so try not to forget that.
MissJessicaHarlow says – reply to this

38

She picked the worst song she ever released .. I would have prefered Kill The Lights because it could have made a wonderful performance. And I would Love to know what her obsession is with dying her hair dark.
tick_tock_tick_tock says – reply to this

she cant dance anymore…its a fucking WALKING tour. How fucking lazy is she? jeezz

I LOVED it. Screw you Perez and you're huge man tits and stretch marks.

The show is called CIRCUS ,so songs from that album had to be included.
BTW I prefer Kill the Lights

olivetree says – reply to this

48

This is my favorite song off her album so I am so happy about it.
xoxo_anonymous says – reply to this

49

its a good song choice. BUT she didnt live up to it - just like every other song. she cant dance anymore so i dont see the point of a tour really - mind you her back up dancers werent doin much either (which surprises me cause they've been great). and she shouldnt have done her hair brown cause she doesnt stand out anymore…just kinda blends in.
overall - the dance class of 13 yr olds i saw dance to this did 100 times better.
better luck next time brit!

What happened to the god old days when singers sang,and didn't need all that crap,like David Bowie,Elvis.led zed,Beatles,Moody blues, Byrds.Stevie Wonder,
Stevie nicks,The Band,Boy george.George michaels.Diana Ross.They didn't need 50 backup singers and dancing so they can lip sync…But I juess thats what the young kids want today not singing but dancing!

oh boy is that bad
moulinsatinerouge says – reply to this

52

mannequins a great song and i think its appropriate she chose this one as it is the Circus Concert and she had more old school songs than new ones on the first leg of the tour
(it was amazing btw)
haylerr89 says – reply to this

53

man this is coming from a hugeeee britney fan..i stuck by her through all her shit and all her mess ups..and honestly was so excited for her big comeback..i paid 700 bux when she came to tampa to see her front row..and SHE SUCKS! She doesn't even try anymore..her dancing sucks now! She used to be awesome..amazing to watch..now she just sucks..her dancers are the only ones dancing and her choreography really is bad..as u can see is this video!!!
bananafanafofina says – reply to this

shes not even a good dancer anymore this should be britneys last tour
electricemma says – reply to this

55

i love this song. her performance however…not my favorite. she needs to put a little more energy into her shows. if she did that, she could be great.
agentsmithctu says – reply to this

56

lol how it's a big deal that she changes the setlist by adding one new song. Whatever happened to artists playing new sets every night and even calling a few audibles or playing a few covers here and there?
rachelinala says – reply to this

57

mannequin is fabulous, but britney has lost it recently

i feel bad for her:( but still she is soooo much better off than she was just a few years ago…..so I'm still rooting for her

it's another blah performance though:(

I agree old school jam would have been better.
Britney ROCKS!

i do not like the song choice! She should have performed shattered glass, or like you said perez, born to make you happy or stronger!
KEEFER says – reply to this

HA HA HA HA im so lol-ing right now……..i cant believe someone would actually pay to watch this garbage. the dancing isnt even good. my gawd are people really that stupid ? THIS IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE DAMMIT !!!!!! the lamest ass show ive ever tried to watch………..sorry

63

fuck all u bitches who wrote shit about her! that's y she has number 1 albums and u bitches r at home writing about how she has not talent. u all suck ass and lets c u get on stage and do better, u probably r stiff as shit, and ugly and fat and disgusting! britney will always be better than all of u, bcuz at least she is following her dreams and living them out, while the rest of u dumb retarted hatin' ass miserable bitches r at home writing about how much u don't like her. evidently she has something u's want if u have sit and watch her all the time and make fun of her! u dumb bitches jus further her career even more by giving her the hype even though it's bad! u all suck and u all will amount 2 nothing!

I love the song. But I have to agree the dancing is lackluster. The outfit is all wrong. And I like Britney better as a blonde. But I'm still a HUGE Britney fan!

Re: i love britney spears – Hun no one is jealous of that girl, she was "living out her dreams" when she was younger and had her first few albums.

then k-fed happened and now she's a giant load of shit.

Im a huuuuge Britney fan! I was at the nj circus tour concert and she was amazing. I love mannaquin but I would have chose Kill the Lights or Gimme More…. The brown hair is terrible…. Whats up w/ her outfit it looks like she's going shopping on Robertson BLVD…

I LOVE MANNEQUIN!! I'm happy with the choice although I would prefer UNUSUAL YOU or KILL THE LIGHTS first, but Mannequin works
caryan says – reply to this

71

if I had a little sister, she could have coreographed that! I love britney but go big or go home, I am not settled with her just waltzing around the stage, she just doesn't want to work for it anymore. its disappointing.
betduke says – reply to this

72

How appropiate. Mannequin. Like something that just stands their and says and does nothing. Gee, similar to a Britney Spears concert. Ironic or coincidence?
timetofly says – reply to this

73

You guys, she's on TOUR. It's not like she can summon up huge, fantastical choreography with all those dancers within her time frame. She's constantly on the road, in the air, etc. With time I think they'll be better. The costumes were probably already being reused from other numbers.

Re: La Coacha – I agree….her moves are gone.
Cheekychic says – reply to this

75

I would have like to see her do Kill the Lights, Unusual You, Gimme More, or Stronger. I also think the outfit and choreography could have been a little more exciting. Just a little lackluster overall.
kelseywithak says – reply to this

76

This is one of my all-time favorite Britney songs and I think it's a great addition, but I still don't think Britney is hitting the dance moves as hard as we know she can. I feel like there's still a spark missing, but maybe it's just nerves.
SweetSunshine613 says – reply to this

77

ugh i wish she did kill the lights. especially because isnt that her next single? animated vid and all?.. and itd be a better dance song but maybe that's why she DIDNT pick it. I don't get it. If you youtube the video of her in rehearsal dancing to mannequin shes AMAZING. like the OLD britney. but she CHOOSES to wear heels and not dance all out.. i don't get it. I LOVE britney but i have to admit, when i saw her concert i LOVED it but mostly just cause i was in the same room with my idol, and i love her. Watching this video was a dissapointment but its like i keep wanting to tell myself it was awesome cause i don't want to believe it's not. She HAS the dance skills. she needs to put them to good use now.

The dancing was awful. They must have composed, rehearsed, and performed it all during a song change.
mylord says – reply to this

82

Seriously, whats up with the costumes??
And dark hair? Gosh! So much better in blond!
And the song?????? I know thats Circus tour, but maybe she could perform Kill the Lights, isnt it? And [i]Oops[/i] or [i]Stronger[/i] (or [i]Toxic[/i]) too.

JadeFalconer says – reply to this

92

To be honest, Britney is a bit of a ledgend. Simple. But she isn't performing like she was, she needs to stop trying to comeback with a short term bang and build her career up like when she started, by going back to the type of music we all prefer her doing. She was the princess of pop but now she isn't living up to the name and as Perez said, Gaga is well up to the job, she is the whole singing, dancing package. As much of a fan as i was of Britney (i was a britney freak lol) she just isn't who she was and needs to have a rethink on how to get back in the pop world where she was before. But i do think she has done amazingly considering what she has been through and i can see that other stars like Gaga are supporting her, so maybe she just needs some help right now and we should all give it. We all love ya Brit

Re: titismack – ok and wat do u do 4 a living, u probably look like that picture that u have right there. and she is still living out her dream cuz if she can sell out shows and have a number one album and if she can still have true dedicated fans like myself then she is living out her dream! at the end of the day there will always be haters like u who really r the pieces of shit if u have 2 sit there and put someone else down 2 make urself feel better. people wouldn't buy her tickets, people wouldn't make fan sites about her, her album wouldn't have gone #1 but it did, and so much more! she has the biggest selling tour of this year and where is lady gaga! and that's another thing 2 lady gaga the same way that the jonas brothers r starting 2 fade slowly but surely, so will she. u can't jus bring out one album that didn't even go 2 #1 and all of a sudden be the new princess of pop! bullshit!p.s i dont have a problem with gaga, but people should jus stfu, if u don't like her move the fuck on and do something better with ur life and time, instead of trying 2 put someone else down. cuz while u're putting her down she is making money up the ass and is laughing all the way 2 the bank and where r u and the rest of the haters? at home watching her reading about her and writing about her. get a life and yes i have a life but right now i am defending the true princess of pop whether u or the next asshole likes it or not! i now rest my fucking case!

"Kill the Lights" is probably my favorite song off the album, but for some reason she refuses to perform/make a video for it.

Re: i love britney spears – JEEZ! Talk about obsessive. I like Britney and went to see this concert but stop trying to defend her every move. She is shit compared to her early years and has nothing on the real performers of her generation (Xtina, Beyonce, Justin etc) they have all outdone her… For the record this 100% sold out tour of hers is phony - check the boxscores if she's supposed to have sold out New Orleans Arena on 17,000+ on a center stage then thats a piss take!! Also for the London shows each show was 'Sold Out' with a diff attendance 1st show had around 20,000 3rd shows had 16,000 (yeah she's a sell out!!) She just doesnt have it anymore!! PERIOD!
