Bublé Defends Spears

spearsbuble.jpg

The whole Britney Spears lipsynching saga continues, with many critics in Australia still bashing Brit Brit for her pricey concert tickets to a non "live" show.

But stepping out in her defense is hot Canadian crooner Michael Bublé.

While doing an interview in Australia to promote his latest album, Crazy Love, Bublé reveals, "You'd think she killed someone. Okay, she lip-synchs her show, people know that, they make the decision if they want to go and see her do that."

Well, we're sure not everyone knew before that she lipsynched her entire concert, but they do now. And the Aussies aren't happy about it.

But Bublé adds, "Does she deserve the way she's been completely bashed by the media here? No."

He goes on to joke, "Mind you, I lip-synch all my concerts. I'm the Milli Vanilli of jazz."

What do U think? Is a concert that's completely lipsynched worth going to?

      Well, its britney spears.
      Who cares if she lipsynch's?!



    2. 2

      I wouldn't go to a lipsynched show. But I'd run for the hills if she was going to sing for real.



    3. 3

      Lip syncing is just wrong at a LIVE concert, seriously people. But then again what's everyone up in arms about? We all know she can't really sing anyways.

      No way she needs talent if she gonna tour! or otherwise just stay in the studio!



    5. 5

      Yes, because most shows arent entirely lipsynced. Since when has ever believe the media anyway?
      Besides, this is Britney Bitch Spears. A LEGEND like her doesnt come around that often. From the 6 little words of Brits very first song, everyone knew she was going to be huge.
      Take Britney for granted before shes gone! But shes not going to be gone for a long time because Brit is still owning it after 10 years!



    6. 6

      no way! shes a dancer not a singer anyway.. i really dont get the britney hype.. plus i still think she is a hot mess…it amazes me that she has fans.



    7. 7

      Well at least this dude got a sense of humor.

      **************Check out a throwback video of Madonna everybody. Its crazy how the 80s is the Ultimate decade and see how cool she was back then LOL. Watch her performing holiday and check out how she is dancing on defSpot com'



    8. 8

      awww i love him for saying that.! i agree! and i would still go and see her knowin she lyp syncs because i love britney shes the real and only princess of pop!



    9. 9

      i went to brit's circus tour when she was in toronto and it was honestly one of the best concerts ive ever seen! (both on video and in person!)
      so she lip sync! big deal! but you cannot expect her to dance the way she does and actually sound good singing. i know from singing in the audience i was out of breath, and i was just standing there!



    10. 10

      no



    11. 11

      I went to the show in Sydney on Tuesday night and I knew before I bought my ticket that she lip-synched because she had already started her tour. I am not a huge die hard Britney fan but I thought it would be fun. It was good. I think however that she should have maybe pre-recorded her voice live. What is sounded like was somebody put the Britney album on and then she was just down there dancing to it. If she pre-recorded it at least it would have sounded live and she probably would have avoided the critisisim.



    12. 12

      No its not worth going to but maybe its cause Britney Spears is not much to look at anymore so why bother going.



    13. 13

      Yes! She is a performer. Hundreds of artists lipsync. They record thier albums and then they dance their asses off at their shows and lipsync. Doesn't mean a thing. I LOVE Taylor Swift but i've seen some of her live performances and I'd wish she would just lipsync so I could have that quality song I hear on the album.



    14. 14

      I don't think I would go if I knew they lip-synched. :\



    15. 15

      all of the stars who sing live just stand around on the stage and do nothing. why dont you try performing and dancing as great as britney and singing live! id rather see her put on an amazing show (as she does) rather than her standing around doing nothing



    16. 16

      I live in Australia..everyone was told Britney was gonna lip synch before the shows, yet they still went and complained…it's their fault! they shouldn't have gone…i'd pay double what they paid for just to sit there and watch her stare out into the open…it's Britney Spears for god's sake!!!



    17. 17

      OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
      ASHLEE SIMPSON OR ANOTHER CELEBRITY LIP SYNCHS AND THE WORLD ENDS BUT BRITNEY HAS BEEN DOING IT HER ENTIREEEEEEEE CAREER AND NO ONE BLINKS AN EYE..
      IT'S ABOUT TIME PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING OUT…
      THIS BROAD HAS NO TALENT. I DON'T CARE IF YOU LIKED HER SINCE YOU WERE 10..THE BITCH CAN'T SING! DOESN'T WRITE HER OWN SONGS! DOESN'T PRODUCE! DOESN'T..
      MATTER OF FACT..WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS BITCH EVEN DO!?! LMAO.
      THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH MORE TALENT IN THEIR PINKIES THAN BRITNEY EVER HAD OR WILL HAVE AND THEY'RE STARVING WHILE THIS TALENTLESS HACK MAKES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR BECAUSE PEOPLE LOVE "BRIT BRIT".
      HOW EMBARRASSING FOR THIS GENERATION. I MEAN REALLY. CAN WE GET SOME TALENT PLEASE?
      JUST GO AWAY PLEASE.
      FUCK BRITNEY SPEARS. THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT. LOL.

    18. @v@ says – reply to this


      18

      No. Lip synching is a cop out. If I want canned music, I'll jump on an elevator. It's the spontaneity and a different turn of the phrase or timing, (interpretation) and the developed ability to do that, along with consistent vocal excellence that makes me feel something for the music and /or artist that I look for.



    19. 19

      AND PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULL SHIT "SHE DANCES!" SHIT. BEYONCE DANCES HER ASSSSSSSSS OFF AND DOES IT BETTER THAN BRITNEY MIGHT I ADD, ALL THE WHILE SOUNDING BEAUTIFUL. I DON'T EVEN LIKE BEYONCE BUT I RESPECT HER AS AN ARTIST ATLEAST.
      SO BRITNEY "DANCING" WHICH IS NOT EVEN CRAZY DANCING, IS NOT AN EXCUSE. SHE'S A NO TALENT HACK.
      IF I WANNA SEE A DUMB BITCH DANCING AROUND WHILE MOVING HER LIPS TO STUPID POP SONGS IN A SEQUENCED BRA I'LL JUST LOOK IN THE MIRROR. LOL.



    20. 20

      Its not the fact that she lipsynched, you would have to have been living under a rock to not know that she was miming the whole show. But they made no effort what so ever to even hide that she was miming. It was as if they were playing a cd, they could have at least gone into the studio and re-recorded and edited her singing so it sounded like it was live. Her famous words 'it's britney bitch' weren't even live, you dont have to be a great singer to be able to say that? The show was as if they were on a tight budget they weren't



    21. 21

      WHERE THE HELL DID THE REST OF THE COMMENTS GO?



    22. 22

      I wouldn't go to ANY show pimped by Ticketmaster or Live Nation.



    23. 23

      I LOVE HOW THE NEGATIVE POSTS WERE JUST HERE BUT NOW THEY'RE GONE…HMMMMMMM.



    24. 24

      Re: getOffiTalready – I FULLY agree! What a waste of time and money to go see her lipsync. Might as well film the concert first time, and then just run the tape around the world showing it in stadiums.
      She has never had an ounce of talent! She is as much of a waste of time as that GagGag broad.
      Value on the face of the Earth? Big Fat ZERO!



    25. 25

      Re: BooBoo99 – LMAO EXACTLY! I MEAN I DON'T LIKE GAGA..I THINK SHE'S OVERRATED BUTTTT ATLEAST SHE HAS SOME TALENT! I CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE LIKE HER! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMEONE LIKE BRITNEY HAS FANS. I FEEL LIKE I'M IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE TALENT AND ORIGINALITY MEAN NOTHING. WHERE A PERSON CAN MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR WORKING NOT EVEN A QUARTER AS HARD AS THEIR COMPETITION AND PEOPLE CAN STILL BE LIKE "LIKE OH MY GOD..I SO TOTALLY LOVE BRITNEY AHHHHH" LOL IT'S A JOKE. WHAT A SHAME THAT REAL TALENT GETS IGNORED AND THIS MORON GETS PRAISED FOR NOTHING.



    26. 26

      lip synching is the worst thing that a "singer" can ever do. and to lip synch an entire show is despicable. i really feel bad for the younger folk of today because they have no clue what good performing is like or how awesome it is to see a great performer sing live. britney is the laziest performer out there. all she does is walk around and wave her hands and she doesnt even sing. her concerts should be no more than $29.99.



    27. 27

      i think britney deserves bad press simply because she is britney spears.



    28. 28

      STFU PEREZ!!!!!!!! IT'S NOT ALL THE MEDIA IN AUSTRALIA! IT WAS ONE (NOTICE I SAID ONE) REPORTER THAT SAID THAT PEOPLE WERE LEAVING HER CONCERT BUT THAT SIMPLY WASN'T TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WENT TO THAT CONCERT AND I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY LEAVE!!!!!!!! PEOPLE WERE SAYING WHAT A GREAT TIME THEY HAD!!!!!! THAT REPORTER LIED!!!! THERE WERE OTHER REPORTERS THERE THAT NIGHT AND THEY DIDN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT PEOPLE LEAVING!!!!!!!!!!!



    29. 29

      Personally, I prefer live singing, so I spend my money on live concerts.
      But it's a decision each person makes.. if you don't want to pay high prices for lip-synching, then don't buy Britney's tickets. Simple.
      But it's kind of sad that some Australians feel cheated. (I thought everyone knew). I completely understand their anger.



    30. 30

      I love Brit and would love 2 c her show but I do think lip synching kinda takes away from the performance



    31. 31

      she does not lip synch the whole tour fuck u haters britney is the best and beyonce relies on her back up singers. brit can sing iv heard her many times the circus was the best concert ever.



    32. 32

      Re: getOffiTalready – bitch britney been around for 12 years britney is 10 times better then that ugly tampon lady gaga. bow bitches britney will be here for another 10 years



    33. 33

      madonna,mariah carey,cher,beyonce all have lipsynced on tour so fuck u haters



    34. 34

      really? are people REALLY making a big deal about this? is this something that is NEWSWORTHY anymore?

      "omg, BRITNEY LIPSYNCHS Y'ALL"

      this is britney.fucking.spears. who's going to her show to watch her sing? no one. you're going to watch her perform. she's not a singer anymore*. (*listen to the 'baby one more time' album.. she didnt start being computerized till 'oops'..) she's a performer. she's putting on a big shbang of a show, nobody gives a shit if its her real voice.

      please refer to her 'everytime' performance on her onyx hotel tour in miami (youtube it). as much as i love me some britbrit, girl sounded like shit. would people want to go see her if all her songs sounded like that? NAHHHH

      its like wrestling. who the hell goes to a wrestling show expecting real fights?

      i would LOVE to go to a britney show, regardless of lip synching. now if i was going to a show where they would just be standing an playing instruments and they were lip synching, then i'd be pissed.



    35. 35

      I personally wouldn't go to a lypsynched show, but people have known for years that she does LS so they shouldn't be disappointed now. Obviously it would be difficult to perform an hour of choreography and maintain a consistent singing voice all the while, for so many cities night after night. Sacrifices have to be made to maintain the overall integrity of the performance so that each event is relatively (exactly) the same. Britney Spears is one of the most popular and in demand artists of our time!! Think about how few shows she could reasonably do singing live. That's fewer satisfied fans and fewer tickets sold. Pop music is a business!!



    36. 36

      Lip synch or not, Britney's Circus Tour one was one of the most exciting concerts I have ever witnessed. Even up in the cheap seats the crowd was on their feet the entire time! In rare case like this, it is about more than just singing. Everyone from JLo to Janet lip synchs their concerts, so why is Britney taking all the heat?



    37. 37

      People go to britney's concert to see her perform, not hear her sing! It'd be different if she was up there just standing there, lip-synching into a microphone. But most people know that's not what to expect at her concerts; she's up there dancing and creating an amazing time for her fans. Even though she lip-synchs, she still puts on an amazing show!



    38. 38

      Re: renee71 – LOL! I totally agree with everything you said….except she doesn't even dance that good!



    39. 39

      Re: getOffiTalready – LMAO ROTF!!!!! You ARE my new hero, hahahaha! Well said and I couldn't agree MORE!!!!!



    40. 40

      Britney will never sing live !!!How can she her voice on her cd doesn't sound human how can she pull that sound off live????



    41. 41

      Beyonce dances and walks around on stage while her backup singers sing 75% of her songs why doesn't anyone call her out?



    42. 42

      Re: LauraLou – ur a dumb beyonce,madonna,mariah carey,cher all have lipsynced there concerts and thats a fact.every singer lipsynces one time or another.



    43. 43

      and ps. people lady gaga said she likes britney spears and britney was a insperation to her and her music.



    44. 44

      ] Re: poppykock1 – AT THE END OF THE DAY, BRITNEY CAN'T SING.
      SHE DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO MAKE UP FOR THAT FACT BY ATLEAST WRITING HER OWN MUSIC, PRODUCING, LEARNING TO PLAY A DAMN INSTRUMENT, ETC.
      SHE DOESN'T TRY TO BETTER HERSELF AS AN ARTIST.
      SHE IS CONTENT JUST BEING "BRITNEY BITCH" AND NOT EXPANDING AS AN ARTIST.
      I DON'T RESPECT THAT AND I DON'T LIKE THAT.
      SHE DANCES OK BUT SHE'S NOT A SICKKKKKK DANCER. IF YOU GO SEE HER IT SHOULD BE *HER* CREATING A SHOW. I SEE A BUNCH OF TALENTED PEOPLE **BEHIND** HER WHO ARE VERY CREATIVE AND TALENTED.
      BRITNEY HERSELF, NOT QUITE SO MUCH.
      SHE'S A NAME AND A FACE, A NOSTALGIC SORT OF PERSON WHO PEOPLE HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO DUE TO HER BEING IN THE PUBLIC EYE FOR SO LONG.
      I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM READING COMMENTS LIKE "OH OTHER SINGERS JUST STAND THERE AND SING…BRITNEY DANCES"…
      WTF? LOL.
      I WOULD MUCH RATHER PAY FOR A REAL SINGER TO STAND ON STAGE AND GIVE ME GOOSEBUMPS THROUGH THEIR AMAZING VOICES THEN SEE A BUNCH OF LIGHTS, DANCING AND LIP SYNCHING.
      BRITNEY GETS TOO MUCH CREDIT.
      I GIVE THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES WHO MAKE BRITNEY SHOULD GET SOME CREDIT. =)



    45. 45

      Re: getOffiTalready – no at the end of the day britney can sing she has a unique voice if she could not sing she would have not got a record deal 12 years ago. like i said beyoncy,madonna,mariah carey,cher all have lipsynced there concerts.



    46. 46

      LOL



    47. 47

      Re: getOffiTalready – and britney has wrote some of her songs get ur facts right



    48. 48

      umm. hello. its britney. everybody knows she lip synchs. who cares. i went to her concert to see her and her performance and hot dancers. and it was still awesome. :)



    49. 49

      honestly i super enjoyed her show. it was amazing. now if it was put on by a britney lookalike that sounded just like she used to and sang live… that would be a different story.



    50. 50

      Re: poppykock1 – FROM ALL THE ALBUMS BRITNEY PUT OUT..HOW MANY SONGS HAS SHE WRITTEN? BARELY ANY. "GET MY FACTS RIGHT" LOL PLEASE WE ALL KNOW SHE DOESN'T WRITE HER SONGS.
      THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT CAN IMITATE HER VOICE WITH EASE BECAUSE IT'S NOT HARD TO SING LIKE HER.
      SHE CAN'T SING.
      SHE DOESN'T WRITE HER OWN MUSIC. SHE DOESN'T PLAY AN INSTRUMENT. LIKE I SAID, SHE DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO EXPAND AS AN ARTIST. SHE DOESN'T CARE. SHE'S MANUFACTURED.
      SHE'S OK WITH THAT. HER FANS ARE OK WITH THAT.
      BUT I'M NOT.
      I DON'T RESPECT HER AS AN ARTIST AND FEEL THE MONEY COULD BE SPENT ON SOMEONE WITH AMAZING TALENT. SOMEONE THAT CAN USE THE PEOPLE WHO MANIFACTURE BRITNEY TO JUST MAKE SOME REALLY HOT MUSIC AND BRING A LOT MORE THAN BRITNEY CAN.



    51. 51

      If people cared to read what is actually in the Australian media, they would find that it is not lip synching per se that is bothering people. It's the fact that she doesn't DO anything on stage. You can't justify lip synching when all you are doing is wandering aimlessly around the stage and occasionally flicking your hair. So, either sit on a stool and sing live, or lip synch and put on a show. Just don't lip synch and stand there doing nothing. That really is ripping people off.



    52. 52

      The whole point of going to their concert is to hear them sing! Not lip-sync because that defeats the purpose of even going …



    53. 53

      I went and saw her on tuesday and she was amazing, the whole show was amazing. Although she doesn't sing live, the show is spectacular, the magicians, the dancers, the songs, the sequences. I was luckily enough to have general admission tickets and i was within 10m of the stage. Britney looked amazing, everyone is calling her fat and for 2 kids and at 27 she looks pretty dam good to me. She was smiling, she looked happy to be there and to be performing. I'm going again tomorrow night and i cannot wait to do it all again.



    54. 54

      We Aussies have been spoiled. Pink did 53 fabulous high powered shows. No lip synching there. Now that's talent.



    55. 55

      all i have to say is, i eagerly awaited her her first Sydney show on Monday.. And it was fantastic, and for the people who think she cant sing.. check out the LIVE vocals of her song 'EVERYTIME' on utube.. And PEREZ you should be ashamed of yourself for letting this debate get even bigger than it already is, when u OPEN the Britney Spars CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!



    56. 56

      if youre going to pay over $100 they better sing at least one song live



    57. 57

      If the artists who perform such a physically challenging concert didn't lip sync, the concert would only be 20 minutes long. Love love love love Michael Buble: the hottest hottie.



    58. 58

      Re: getOffiTalready – britney has brought more to pop music than anyother pop star since madonna. britney has awsome fans we support her and i think that is what a fan is supposed to do. britney is an international pop star.if u dont like her why the hell are u commenting i happen to love britney music.i dont go talking shit about other artist if i dont like them i give them credit for just getting a record deal.and a couple other people that has lip synced during there concerts was nsync,backstreet boys,jennifer lopez,and many many more it is more commin then u think. i dont see nothing wrong with lip syncing a concert.now if she was not singing on her cd then i say that was wrong but it is her voice on the cd u buy. and britney puts on a show she can sing she has an uniqe voice it sexy and different.and if she could not sing how in the hell did she get a record deal. so dont hate on britney when others have lipsynced too.



    59. 59

      Re: Happygirl1 – i like pink but i thought she sounded like shit dancing around and singing live she was very winded and had some trouble getting out the notes.



    60. 60

      PEREZ PLEASE READ THIS;

      YOU WERE AMAZING IN THE SHOW; SO MUCH CHARISMA AND PERSONALITY!!

      BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      I DID NOT CARE AT ALL THAT SHE LIPSYNCHED, I KNEW BEFORE I WENT

      BUT

      !!!
      SHE DIDNT EVEN ENTERTAIN!!!
      SHE WAS OUT-DANCED BY HER BACK UP DANCERS,
      SHE DIDNT TALK AT ALL
      HER HAIR WAS FALLING OUT OF THE WIG
      SHE GAVE NO ENERGY
      NO PERSONALITY
      WALKED THROUGH THE WHOLE THING

      THE GIRL ISNT WHAT SHE USED TO BE, SHE JUST WANTS TO GO HOME - FOREVER.
      I LOVE HER AND HER MUSIC, BUT THAT SHOW WAS …………………….
      ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING BEYONCE WHO GAVE AN AMAZING AMAZING SHOW!! -
      BEYONCE GAVE SO MUCH PERSONALITY AND LOVE!!
      BRITNEY, BYE BABY



    61. 61

      Britney sucks! If YOU choose to be a singer (even a crappy one like Brit) as your profession, then SING!!! Why people pay to go see her "live" and add to her bank account is beyond me!



    62. 62

      Re: kat555 – i disagree i went to see her and she does dance and move alot. the media always want a piece of britney do u believe everything u read if i told u a news paper said fish fell out of the sky would u believe me i dont think u would.



    63. 63

      Re: faroutbrusselsprout222 – i went to see britney to and u are wrong she was beautiful and the show was amazing



    64. 64

      Yes…people are payin to see a SHOW and thats what Britney does…she puts on a GREAT SHOW…sooo who cares if she lipsynch's as long as here show is great and it alwayz is!!! LOVE YOU BRITNEY!!!



    65. 65

      britney is passed her prime, plus i think we got spoilt by pink, god her shows were awsome



    66. 66

      I wouldn't see either one of them, Britney is horrid and Michael Bubble is what now, un he tries to sing like Frank Sinatra. Does he have any original songs?



    67. 67

      Re: Ugly Tranny – bite it



    68. 68

      All Britney fans know that you don't go to a Brit concert for her singing. Her career isn't built around her amazing singing voice. You go there for the spectacle and Britney delivers 100% on that. She brings theatrics and entertainment to concerts like no one else. She's an entertainer, not a singer. Why after all these years do people still find it shocking that she lip-syncs?



    69. 69

      PEOPLE DIDNT STOP GOING TO MILLI VANILLI CONCERTS WHEN THEY LIP SYNCED. WUTS MAKES U THINK PEOPLE ARE SMARTER NOW? LMAO!! ULTIMATELY IF YOU GET UPSET "AFTER" YOU PAID YOUR MONEY THAN OBVIOUSLY SOME DOUCHE BAGS NEEDS TO BE A FAN OF YOUTUBE RIGHT QUICK!!



    70. 70

      MICHAEL BUBLE AINT A SINGING TALENT BY HIS OWN ADMISSION. THIS IDIOT SING-TALKS MORE THAN ANYONE IN THE BIZNESS. FRANK SINATRA HE AINT…



    71. 71

      Australians are idiots. They should be glad Britney even cared to perform in their pathetic prisoner-descendant island. Go hail the Queen and continue being 2nd rate English people with bad hygiene.



    72. 72

      britney always lipsynchs hes shows, even before she was crazy. when people go see her, they go see her performance like the SHOW, not her singing, because all of britney's shows are spectacular PERFORMANCES

      Re: poppykock1 – WHAT HAS BRITNEY BROUGHT?
      SHE DOESN'T MAKE THE MUSIC! SHE DOESN'T WRITE IT, PLAY IT, HELL SHE CAN'T EVEN SING IT LIKE A TRUE SINGER.
      SHE JUST TAKES A PIECE OF PAPER, RECITES IT TO A MICROPHONE WITH HER WEAK ASS VOICE, LEARNS A FEW DANCE STEPS AND VWOALA..MAKES MILLIONS. THAT'S A JOKE TO ME SORRY.
      IT IS WRONG FOR ANY ARTIST TO LIP SYNCH ALL THE TIME.
      ALL THOSE ARTISTS YOU NAMED DIDN'T MAKE A CAREER WITH LIP SYNCHING.
      BRITNEY DOES.
      BRITNEY SPEARS IS A MANIFACTURED POP TART WHO IF YOU STRIPPED AWAY ALL THE PRODUCERS, WRITERS, VOICE ENCHANCERS, ETC, WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE ANYTHING HOT.
      SHE CAN NOT STAND ALONE AS AN ARTIST.
      SHE NEEDS A TEAM OF PEOPLE TO *MAKE* HER AN ARTIST WHEREAS OTHER SINGERS *ALREADY ARE* ARTISTS.
      I DON'T CARE HOW MANY FLASHING LIGHTS AND DANCE STEPS YOU GIVE ME.
      IF THERE'S NO TALENT THERE THEN WHAT'S THE POINT?
      HER COMPETITION WORKS A LOT HARDER THAN HER.
      BRITNEY SPEARS IS A JOKE.
      FUCK DANCING AND LIGHTS.
      FUCK A SHOW.
      I WANT SOME REAL DEAL TALENT.
      I WANT A SINGER, A WRITER, A MUSICAL INTRUMENT PLAYER, ETC.
      ANYONE CAN GO TAKE BRITNEY'S PLACE RIGHT NOW ON HER TOUR IT WOULDN'T EVEN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
      IT WOULD BE THE SAME SHOW.
      SHE DOESN'T MAKE THE SHOW.
      THE SHOW MAKES HER.
      AND THAT'S SAD.



    75. 75

      Luv him:)



    76. 76

      I love Michael for coming to Brit's defense….what a gentleman. I've been to two of his concerts and he 200% does NOT lip sync which i appreciate. Must confess I would be VERY disappointed if he did though….so yea I get much of the hoopla

    77. lynn says – reply to this


      77

      this piece of shit admits he lip-synchs no wonder he's sticking up for Britney or they'd both be out of a job. PS The footage of Britney concert is pathetic, Id shoot my kid if they thought it reasonable to pay money for such garbage.

    78. MP says – reply to this


      78

      It depends on good an entertainer someone is. Like Madonna or Janet Jackson…they're amazing entertainers and it really wouldn't bother me if they lip synched. If Barbra Streisand was lip synching I'd be very disappointed.



    79. 79

      Weird. Thats what half the people here are saying. Anyway, I dont care if she lip syncs, as long as she dances. If she dances her ass off, I'd let it slide. But she doesnt dance like she use to, so theres no reason to lip sync anymore.



    80. 80


    81. 81

      AW HELL NO

      i think britney is just jaded, sick of 'performing,' sick of dragging her kids all over the world from hotel room to hotel room, and being nothing more than a source of income to her family and handlers. she just seems to desperately want some sense of a normal life, and her heart is not in it anymore and hasnt been for sometime. think about it, she has no friends in the sense that you and i think of/have friends, which must be an extremely lonely existence. really, she never should have done this tour to begin with, so soon after her breakdown, and the whole thing felt like she was utterly and completely pushed into it too soon. i think she felt so much pressure to do this when she really didnt want to, and wasnt able to say 'i am not ready for this.' yeah i crack on her sometimes, but at this point i just feel sorry for her. prime example that no amount of money can buy happiness. very sad.

      Nobody danced and moved more than Tina Turner. Can you imagine Tina Turner EVER lip synching at a live performance? Not a chance. She's an artist and a legend. It's a matter of personal pride as a vocalist and entertainer.

      Yeah, and that said, I'll bet Buble wouldn't be caught dead lip synching. He's being a nice Canadian guy with his comments.

      My friend dragged me to the britney concert in jersey as a birthday present. She paid a shitload of $$$ for us to sit in nose bleed seats and basically listen to the cd with a little live entertainment. It was a crappy concert with twenty something girls screaming like tweens. Tacky. I will never again buy a Britney cd or concert ticket. Girl makes millions. The least she could do is sing.



    92. 92

      It's really funny that he's defending her considering he's one of the best "live" singers I've ever heard. Oh well, if he can let it slide.. I guess I can too ;p

    95. 95

      It's Britney!! Who cares about the lip syncing! You're there for the show!



    96. 96

      Britney is a great performer! I don't give a shit if she lip-synchs…that woman puts an amazing SHOW. and come on…people really thought she sings live? she's been around for 10 years. you should know better by now.



    97. 97

      I went to Britney's tour in April, and yes it may have been lip-synced for most of it - but then again she was dancing and hanging from cables on the ceiling the entire time. As a singer and dancer, I wouldn't sing live during acts such as these. You would be too out of breath to dance and sing at the same time, and when you are flying across the arena by cables, doing acrobatic moves I would NEVER try singing ha ha. You pay the money to watch the production. She didn't lip-sync everything, but when she was doing these stunts, OF COURSE!



    98. 98

      Normally I wouldn't want to go to a completely lipsynched show, but if you are a big fan of the person you just go for her and the show.
      If people are still surprised that it's not live, they are the stupid ones…
