Britney fails in Perth


It was not the triumphant return Britney Spears had hoped for.

Disgruntled fans stormed out of last night’s Australian debut of The Circus concert in Perth, upset by the star's miming and “appalling” performance on stage.

They began walking out after just three songs, some having paid $1,500 to see Spears perform.

“It was just really bad," Kathy Wright, 32, said.

“She has not spoken, there is no interaction.”

Friend Josh Blee said: “We are really big Britney fans but it was cr-p.”

“I thought after the music awards she would make up for it with a wicked concert, but she has let us down," he said.

Maria Carmody also left with a group of friends, saying the performance was appalling.

They were disappointed that the giant screens did not show any vision of Spears performing.

“She is a little dot on the stage," Ms Carmody said.

Ms Carmody was also disgusted by the unruly behaviour of fans in the general admission area, which lacked adequate security.

She said she was elbowed and pushed by overzealous fans.

Spears performed to over 17,000 fans at last night's concert at Perth Burswood Dome.

The screens only displayed circus images and Spears had her back to the audience for most of the show.

Several fans questioned whether the lack of vision on the giant screens was to cover up her lip synching.

Mods I've checked the comm right back to before the concert started and right up to what refreshed a minute ago, and the last two Britney posts are pre-concert news. This has clearly not yet been posted.

[info]spengrench 7th-Nov-2009 12:23 am (UTC)
she was rude?

her management doesn't give a shit about fans. brit is just traipsing through australia, stopping at a few stadiums to dance to her songs a bit on the way
[info]floetcist 7th-Nov-2009 02:25 am (UTC)
LOL some fans are so quick to pull out their 'haters' gifs.
[info]brothorsport 7th-Nov-2009 07:01 am (UTC)
Yeah because her back was to them most of the show. Bullshit, its the same routine she has been doing for the past 8 months. Its the SAME SHOW people are just butthurt for something they knew very well was going to happen.
[info]getbacknow 7th-Nov-2009 12:02 am (UTC)
they are not haters, they are disappointed fans.
[info]onerainysunday 7th-Nov-2009 12:11 am (UTC)
what a terrible gif to use she's not even dancing properly in it
[info]anus 6th-Nov-2009 11:22 pm (UTC)

Australians can be very conservative, if this is an Australian source, I can imagine
[info]awaywithpixie 7th-Nov-2009 05:33 am (UTC)
I beg to differ. Like most countries, we have groups that are, and aren't conservative. We certainly don't kick up a stink about some lame 'wardrobe malfunction'.

It's just news.com.au. They march to the beat of their own drum. Tomorrow they'll print the word 'shit' in one of their shit stories, and won't care.

[info]thatsaid 6th-Nov-2009 11:23 pm (UTC)
maybe she's been a fan sine she was 21
[info]mistertickle 6th-Nov-2009 11:25 pm (UTC)
At what age will you stop being a fan?
[info]gorgeousdoll 6th-Nov-2009 11:28 pm (UTC)
Spoken like a true ONTD junior higher. Hiii, sweetie! Is your mommy home yet?
[info]fiercenessness 6th-Nov-2009 11:30 pm (UTC)
That's not that bad. There were a group of 40ish-year-olds and their elderly mother who sat in front of me at the show I went to.
[info]sweet_tiff4prez 6th-Nov-2009 11:30 pm (UTC)
and your point? brits been doing music for a long time
[info]keef_riffhards 6th-Nov-2009 11:32 pm (UTC)
dumb comment is dumb. britney's been doing this for ten years.
[info]hxcfairy 6th-Nov-2009 11:34 pm (UTC)
hahaha omg she is older than 12 lol her life is over.


:|
[info]housebrownie 6th-Nov-2009 11:40 pm (UTC)
yeah and? she was 21 when Baby One More Time came out, and Britney is a whopping two years away from 30 herself. granted her music hasn't really matured but I fail to see the issue here.
[info]pivotandsway 6th-Nov-2009 11:48 pm (UTC)
I lol'd even though it's totally acceptable to be a Brit fan at any age (over like 16 or something idk. babies shouldn't be listening to 3 lol)
[info]jiai1 7th-Nov-2009 01:24 am (UTC)
Rude.
It's not like 25 year olds liking Miley Cyrus.

[info]clubland 8th-Nov-2009 10:16 am (UTC)

[info]lolzerz 6th-Nov-2009 11:22 pm (UTC)

cr-p
[info]squirrelsarerad 6th-Nov-2009 11:37 pm (UTC)
lol ikr. It's such a naughty word.
[info]treradical 6th-Nov-2009 11:23 pm (UTC)
i'm a die-hard britney stan, and even i can admit i was underwhelmed at her concert when she came to san jose. however, why the fuck would you storm out when you paid so much for tickets
[info]genoworld 6th-Nov-2009 11:29 pm (UTC)
I agree about not storming out. You paid a shitload, you might as well stay for the shitshow.
[info]schoolisuncool 6th-Nov-2009 11:32 pm (UTC)
IA, like everything they said in this article was kind of true...her not singing, not interacting with the audience, and there being no big screens so that you could actually see her. Literally, when I went, I felt like there could have been any old chick dancing on stage with a blonde wig and I wouldn't have known the difference. I still enjoyed it though since it was my first Britney concert...I just think the ppl in this article were being a little dramatic. It wasn't SO BAD that I would ever think of storming out, it was still entertaining
[info]treradical 6th-Nov-2009 11:38 pm (UTC)
lol at my show she actually went "HELLO SACRAMENTO!!!!!" like twice. at first we were like "YEAH!!!!!!!!!..wait wut" but at the end she got it right and said it like 5 times. however i was happy just to finally see her cuz i've loved her for 10 years & never saw her in concert once. i was with my bff who also loves her and idk it was just a great experience. she's nowhere near where she used to be, but i wouldn't storm out.
[info]hardcoresince3 7th-Nov-2009 12:36 am (UTC)
aw that sux. when I went she had the big screens.
[info]gemmi_joo 7th-Nov-2009 12:18 am (UTC)
People don't pay to see someone lip-sync.
[info]oh7 7th-Nov-2009 12:18 am (UTC)
If you paid over a $1,000 for a ticket you better stay the entire show.
[info]r0cky0u_f00lish 7th-Nov-2009 08:01 am (UTC)
agree sfm. i was at that show too, up at the stage in GA and i had several wtf moments...
[info]gorgeousdoll 6th-Nov-2009 11:24 pm (UTC)
The thing is, if it were ANYONE else, this would be understandable. But Britney is KNOWN for lip syncing. I'm not saying I like it; hell, I don't know if I'd even pay for it. But what were they expecting? It's Britney; she dances and mimes.
[info]keef_riffhards 6th-Nov-2009 11:33 pm (UTC)
i don't think that's any excuse. she shouldn't be given any free passes. i agree though that they should have known what to expect.
[info]gorgeousdoll 6th-Nov-2009 11:39 pm (UTC)
No, that was my point, lol. Like, we KNOW this about her. Don't buy tickets with the full knowledge that she never sings and then show up and act shocked. If it were another artist, like Christina or Beyonce or someone who doesn't normally lip sync their entire show, then I'd show up and be pissed. But Britney? Whatevs.
[info]oh7 7th-Nov-2009 12:26 am (UTC)
I agree with not expecting to hear tons of live singing from Britney but they said at that concert that the TV screens didn't even show her properly and I think that would have gotten most people bothered.
[info]_lightmycandle_ 7th-Nov-2009 01:33 am (UTC)
if anything she should be expected to put on an even better show if she's lip syncing. plenty of performers lip sync and can still blow the audience away
[info]floetcist 7th-Nov-2009 02:27 am (UTC)
Now she just swings her hair and mimes.
[info]robertsbox_xo 6th-Nov-2009 11:26 pm (UTC)
that was proven fake years ago. my god people.
[info]gorgeousdoll 6th-Nov-2009 11:27 pm (UTC)
LOL GOD FORBID PEOPLE AREN'T UP ON THEIR YOUTUBE VIDEOS
[info]cherubrawk 6th-Nov-2009 11:29 pm (UTC)
it was proven fake by whom? her pr team? thats her fucking voice.

[info]tree_pretty 7th-Nov-2009 09:33 am (UTC)
For some reason your comment reminded me of:

Amber D'Alessio made out with a hot dog? That was ONE time!

and I have no idea why.
[info]nastyposition 6th-Nov-2009 11:27 pm (UTC)
lol jesus christ, she CAN fucking sing! Have you seen some vids of her singing acapellas on youtube? Can you dance and sing at the same time like that? i know she's lazy and out of her mind for not dancing like she used to but you can't say she can't sing judging on that you foo!
[info]anus 6th-Nov-2009 11:27 pm (UTC)
I thought that thing was fake. However, I do remember there was something on MTV in the past where they showed her performance for some concert and she sang Someday live and it was awful.
[info]6a696c6c 6th-Nov-2009 11:27 pm (UTC)
lolol sounds like a japanese chick

not brit!
[info]fuckyeahitsme 6th-Nov-2009 11:32 pm (UTC)
this sounds like a little kid singing karaoke with all the breathing ugh
[info]mistertickle 6th-Nov-2009 11:40 pm (UTC)
"And now. You're out. Of sight."

This is hilarious.

It reminds me of Creed Shreds.


[info]pivotandsway 6th-Nov-2009 11:51 pm (UTC)
this doesn't really prove she can't sing but w/e. at least find a clip where she's actually trying.
[info]nastyposition 6th-Nov-2009 11:25 pm (UTC)
Ms Carmody was also disgusted by the unruly behaviour of fans in the general admission area, which lacked adequate security.

this sounds like a mystery book!
[info]ankiem0e 7th-Nov-2009 12:01 am (UTC)
Whereupon Ms. Carmody wielded her cane umbrella to good effect, and, leaving the young things to their revels, availed herself of the omnibus.

"little dot on stage"

PLS WE NEED 10 FT TALL BRITNEY PLS
[info]tokyoblossom 6th-Nov-2009 11:38 pm (UTC)
yeah because people wanna pay a shitload of money to see a dot on stage, they should have projected her on the big screens for people way in the back.
[info]getbacknow 7th-Nov-2009 12:03 am (UTC)
i've never heard of a pop concert where they didn't project the singer/band on the big screen, that's a valid complaint.
[info]starbucks_patch 7th-Nov-2009 06:26 am (UTC)
i agree. 17,000 people, not everybody is gonna see her!
[info]aeryn 7th-Nov-2009 04:51 pm (UTC)
I agree. Every concert I've been to has the singer and band on the screens. I'd be pissed too if the screens just showed stupid images and not what's going on onstage.
[info]boys 6th-Nov-2009 11:26 pm (UTC)
i'm surprised more stuff like this hasn't come out throughout the tour tbqh.
[info]purple_proseur 7th-Nov-2009 02:11 am (UTC)
Yeah, Australians tend to whinge and make a thing out of everything though.
[info]awaywithpixie 7th-Nov-2009 02:16 am (UTC)
I guess after 50 bazillion concerts by P!nk here in the last few months, people were expecting better standards. Hell, I don't even like P!nk, but I was surprised by how entertaining her show was, with such great production values. She was also very friendly and polite to her fans, two critical things that were apparently missing from Brit's concert.
[info]caller_337 7th-Nov-2009 07:52 am (UTC)
Not really.

She's never toured here before. People actually wanted to see her. Not a dot on stage.

Any actual Britney fan knows she lip-syncs but a lot of people just like her songs and didn't know she does and were ~upset.
