SYDNEY LOVES BRITNEY

The Circus Starring Britney Spears First Show of Second Leg

After a month of fairly bad news for Britney, starting with a string of bad reviews from the Australian press and ending with those horrendous (and so far unfounded) accusations by Courtney Love, finally some great news. It was announced today that Britney broke the record for concert ticket sales at Sydney’s Acer Arena with 66,247 tickets sold across 4 nights. Not only does that mean she’s beaten the likes of Coldplay and the Eagles, she’s also kicked ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake’s ass by knocking him into 3rd place in the Arena’s all time sales.

We always knew she’d come out on top – congratulations, Britney!

BITCHY AUSSIE JOURNALIST PUBLISHES SCATHING CONCERT REVIEW

"The Circus Starring Britney Spears" Tour Opens In New Orleans

Don’t MESS!

Britney Spears took to her official Facebook page last night to fight back at a journalist who gave her Circus show a terrible review. Britney’s message read:

“It’s unfortunate that one journalist in Perth didn’t enjoy the show last night. Fortunately the other 18,272 fans in attendance did.”

SSSNAP!

STM’s Jay Hanna headlined his article with “Lacklustre, lip-synching Britney”  and went on to talk about her “rigid performance”. Judging from the response on Facebook, the majority of those in the audience did not agree as Britney has had overwhelming support. Fans described the show as “amazing” and talked about how they’d achieved a “life-time ambition” in finally seeing her live.

We saw the Circus show on a couple of occasions (like 5!) and while we admit it wasn’t Britney at her 100% best, it was a great show and we had a thoroughly amazing time. Yes it’s a bit disappointing that Britney lip-synchs most (or all) of the show, but it’s energetic and fun and with the back catalogue of amazing songs that she has it’s difficult not to have a great time.

The journalist also reported how many fans “stormed out” after only 3 songs in protest at Britney’s miming. Sounds like nonsense… this show has been on the road for months and the overwhelming media attention paid to her (lack of) singing means that everyone is well aware of what to expect.

People need to loosen up – Britney has never been about world class vocals. She’s about great music, stunning productions, and some of the hottest dancing ever seen (when she’s at her best). Get over it!

MAKE AN EFFORT!!

Slide3

At RumerMills we absolutely adore Britney but every now and then we need to give her some guidance in getting through life. After seeing Britney landing in Australia for her first ever tour there we decided to make today’s lesson “how not to exit an aircraft”. You see, when you fly in first class the washing and changing facilities are excellent and so there is NEVER any excuse for stepping out onto the runway with greasy hair, a filthy t-shirt and last night’s make-up on.

In case we appear unduly harsh (the poor girl was just off a 13 hour flight blah blah) we would like to draw your attention to the stylish and immaculate Victoria Beckham. Here she is after a transatlantic flight looking like she’d just stepped onto a catwalk – exactly how it should be for an international superstar!
