Britney Spears Aussie Fans Upset Over “LipSynching”

Wait for my commentary after the article:

The lip-synch controversy has dogged Spears since she arrived in Australia and made headlines around the world, including on US TV’s CNN.

Among fans who walked out early was Amanda Hawlet, 22, who drove from home two hours away and spent almost $500 on a weekend to see Britney  She left only half an hour into the action, angry at the miming.

“I want my money back or I want her to sing properly,” she said. “The ticket cost me $200 and she lip-synched the whole thing.

“It’s cost me half a week’s wage and you’ve got bills to pay, but you look forward to this concert, it’s a night out - and what do you get? Nothing. It was a waste of $200 - I could have got four pairs of shoes for that.”

The lack of big screens - masking Spears’ miming and taking the focus away from her rigid performance - left many in the cheap seats fuming.

I am 100% team Britney on this one. It ain’t like she’s a new artist; she came out in 1998; IT’S 2009-– She has been Lip-synching her ENTIRE CAREER. Word to all Britney fans, she cannot sing live, you have known this for over a decade, so if you decide to shell out 500 big boys–that’s on you.
