You just basically admitted that the reviewer prejudged her show before he even went to go see it, which makes his entire critique invalid. He probably wrote this before he even went to see the show. He came in and saw what he wanted to see regardless of the fact that there has been a change in Britney's performances since the Circus tour.

Idk, I've never seen her live. I'm going by what her fans are saying about her improvements. But let's be honest - Britney was never taken seriously as an musician or artist. Not by critics and not by the public. She used to get praise for her dancing and sexy presence onstage, that's it. These UK critics may prejudge her to some extent, but they are not devoted fans who are going to be gentle with her. When you go to a singer's live show it's not an unreasonable demand to want live singing. And if she won't do that, she needs to put on a showstopping spectacle to compensate. But even then, if that's what you really want, you might as well just hit up Cirque de Soleil.

If you go to a live concert of Britney you would want live singing? I think after about 10 years of lyp-synching, if you go to her show and expect live singing, that's more fool you than anything.

Britney doesn't exist in a vacuum, so comparison to other artists' shows is fair game and necessary for context.

Its so odd. People still go to her show and expect Grammy worthy live vocals and 2001 dancing.

She's miming, lethargic, there are hundreds of unsold tickets - and her parents get all the cash. Britney's humiliating new tour

Britney should not go back to the UK. What a bunch of moaners. I went to see her in the UK and it was epic.

No. But I'm sure people expect at least a little effort & passion for the creative performance art.
The reviews posted are accurate - yes, she has improved, but the public is not here to baby & congratulate her for every little step she takes. If people are investing in your show, if they're taking the time out of their lives to see you, then the least you must do is show some effort - not rush through performances like you can't wait to go home & sex Jason or make Ice tea for Sean.
As fans, we are understanding, but in the real world, if you're not up for it, you're wasting people's money & time. The atmosphere at the show may have been amazing, the effects may have been incredible & the sound, costumes, lighting spot-on - it just seems like everybody is doing their all to make it a great show, but Britney. She's just... there. Going through the motions and reciting the same lines every night.
Love her to death, but no. Currently, she is being slayed by every other hoe in the game, performance wise - & it isn't because she isn't capable, it's because she's lost interest & motivation.

oh please, i went to rihannas AND katys tour and they werent all that amazing either. Britney might not move as well as she used to but to say she is being SLAYED by the other gurls is a very inaccurate statement.
