Her team should really at least pre-record vocals to make it more believable, I mean who lip-syncs to album version vocals except Britney?

I've always disagreed with everyone when they say "Womanizer" on UK X Factor killed her in the UK. Do y'all forget she did 8 shows at The O2 in London? Sold out? I mean SIX more shows were added to the arena after demand. Those tickets went on sale after X Factor and generated ~$12 million for the tour alone. Not to mention the rest of the success in Europe for the tour. Don't let Daily Mail fool you with their Britney articles.
"Circus" and "If U Seek Amy" bombed because, wait for it, she failed to further promote. She's just not hot enough over there anymore to send songs out without any kind of push.
And it's true she should do more pre-recorded vocals. Most critics fell for it on the FFT.
