Wow! The media is going ****ing nuts! And the tour hasn't even started yet. I can't be bothered to post all of the Aussie sites where I've read news about Britney landing, but this one caught my attention.

Britney Spears arrives in Australia for Circus tour

NOT even Marcel Marceau could command such prices. So who would pay up to $1500 to watch Britney Spears mime to her latest - and greatest - hits? More Australians than you think.
Despite boasting a long history as a nation where artists prove their worth as live performers, thousands of Australians seem unperturbed by Spears' reluctance to test her singing ability in front of large crowds.
Spears, who arrived in Australia yesterday to launch her long-awaited Circus tour of 14 almost sold-out shows, performs little live material on stage, preferring to lip-sync and concentrate on theatrics and dancing.(I mean please!)
It's an issue that has become one of the biggest debates in the music industry – when is a concert a live performance?
Pink ably demonstrated two months ago that if you have the goods you can hang upside down from a trapeze and still belt out perfectly in tune vocals, without missing a beat. (Bravo!)
Eager fans waiting for an autograph or photo of Spears were disappointed as she was ushered to a private plane in Sydney yesterday morning to travel to Perth for the month-long tour kicking-off tomorrow night.
Spears is doing three shows at Brisbane's Entertainment Centre on November 22, 24 and 25.
Promoter Paul Dainty recently defended Spears' lip-syncing during the physically demanding dance routines, citing Kylie Minogue and Madonna as other mimers.(I'm sorry but both are known for live singing, even if their voices don't sound good all the time)
"I did go to the show in America with a degree of cynicism, as anyone would because of (what) we've read and heard, but she was absolutely fantastic," he said.
Spears and her entourage were in good spirits after their long haul flight.
"Longest flight ever but we had a great time . . . So excited to be here," the pop superstar posted on Twitter.
The Circus tour brought 225 crew members to Australia, 45 band members and dancers, 15 circus performers and hires 150 local crew in each city.

Were your little comments necessary? You haven't even been to the concert yet you're firing off smart remarks about her dancing and lip-syncing. She dances more than Madonna and Kylie, and yes they DO lip-sync too. Get over it.

Cesar is such a walking failure now. It's all about "attention! attention! give me attention!" all the time. And the worse part is that he's asking that to the lunatic members who fall for easy and tired jokes. Tragic.
Btw, Britney looks so beautiful in the australian airport. WOW.
