LOL when Britney, Christina, Beyonce all first came out they was working just as hard if not harder than her. I'm tired of this "she's exhausted" excuse. If she's worn out she needs to sit her ass down because it's beginning to show.
Her doctor told her to calm down! She fainted before. Besides even though she did not dance much her presence and voice were incredible! The duet with Elton John was so good.

Well like I said before, she should look into sitting at a piano and singing like that. She's trying to do "epic" performances but she doesn't have the chops to pull them off. Just my opinion. Not trying to anger any "monsters"!

Well at least she had very good dancers. They are fun to watch too you know.

The dancers kind of go to waste when the superstar isn't pulling her weight. They're just decoration.
Edit: And before anyone says it, I know Britney is guilty of that as well.... but she's 11+ years into her career and she's been through some tough **** so she gets a pass.
