The one and only Britney Spears kicked off her CIRCUS tour in New Orleans last night. In a nutshell...
The Pussycat Dolls went on at 8:00 P.M. sharp and put on an energetic 40-minute set of hits. Robin Antin, the group's founder, told us that they had just one day and only two hours on stage to reconfigure their arena show to be in-the-round, as is the case with Britney's 3-stage circus.There was a pre-show featuring clowns, martial arts and acrobatics, and Britney went on at approximately 9:20 P.M, playing for about an hour and forty minutes.
Spears descended from the roof on an apparatus and kicked things off with the appropriately-themed Circus.
To answer the usual skeptic question...Yes, she lipsynchs during the entire concert. There is no live singing. None! She recorded vocals to "sound like" live, but they were all canned, pre-taped. But I don't care. I don't want to hear her live...I want a show! And if Britney's anything--she's a performer. It was the first show of tour so I'm guessing things weren't perfect but she has a lot more stops to go to work on it.She's baaaaaaaack.
I'M REALLY EXCITED, PERSONALLY. SHE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE PERFORMERS AND I'LL BE GIVING A MORE CRITICAL AND FIRST-HAND REVIEW WHEN I ATTEND HER D.C. SHOW.
Until then...I'll post some more pictures of the show.
