i really dont get about all these people saying $h!t like she doesnt she live because she cant sing, but she is still amazing, and its alright for her to mime because she will get worse reviews if she did sing, as she cant...

 

can someone explain to me how Britney Spears became a famous singer, from not being able to sing, it makes no sense, how come she is still 'amazing' even though she cant sing, what does she do other than sing that makes her 'amazing'?

But to personally attack a group of people for liking an artist is ridiculous and I find it highly offensive.

I don't think people are attacking you for liking Britney. It's the fact that she mimes despite being in no position to stop her doing so. Perhaps I could understand her miming when she's on a harness or something (despite P!nk singing whilst doing the same) but most of it is just walking around stage. Even Amy Winehouse managed to sing live fresh out of rehab in the past so her personal life isn't valid either.

 

Despite my comments I'm actually a fan of Britney's. She debuted when I was young and I loved her then, bought the album. Then I stopped buying albums but I've purchased her last two and caught up on the others that I've missed. I'm far from a hater, I just see no point in supporting her on tour when she doesn't sing and puts on a half-assed show. (from her, the backing dancers are what makes it entertaining)

I wouldnt say she is simple as at the end of the day her fortune says a lot, she has some good business sense or she wouldn't be where she is today. my issue wouldn't be with that at all, mine is all to do with the talent that she blatantly doesn't have or will not show. X factor sealed that for me and any admiration or respect i had for her went out the window, how she can appear on a talent show and mime pissed me off no end, i thought it was ridiculous. celine dion, beyonce, kylie and many more appeared on the show and all big stars and in the business for years they spent time with the contestants tried to advise them on how to survive in such a fickle world and encouraged them. Then britney comes along didn't speak with them didnt advise them in any way and to top it all of mimed. If she had any respect for the industry that made her her money she would not have done this. i'm not saying the x factor contestants had the right to any of this from britney nor am i saying x factor is such an important show, but if every other artist can be helpful why couldnt she? plus britney took a bigger pay cheque than the others for appearing so all of this is what makes me believe she doesnt have any respect for what she has been given herself.

Somehow Britney's still in the music business despite miming since 2002, while others like Rachel Stevens, Hilary Duff or Ashlee Simpson can only dream about the success Britney's had over the years.

Who knows? Maybe the charade won't last forever and Britney will disappear in [let's say] five years time; or maybe the total opposite, she'll prevail as a mime act for the rest of her life, having successful albums, singles and tours, regardless her vocal abilities.

I personally think, if she's still relevant after 10 years (even when she's been miming for 7) she won't go away anytime soon.

I think everyone knows Britney won't ever disappear from the public eye, musically she may stop; but as what happened from 2005-2007 proves that Britney is never going to disappear.

Of course she's simple. I'm not trying to say Britney is the Einstein of pop music, but she's not as dumb as people think she is... She has an average intelligence, give or take at best. But she is also beautiful and has an appealing personality and she has extreme talent, talent that I recognize. Others may not, and that's fine.

 

But to personally attack a group of people for liking an artist is ridiculous and I find it highly offensive.

 

So, you dont find it at all offensive that she's charging you lot $300 for a ticket and then MIMES for almost the entire gig....? Because that's something I would find incredibly offensive if it was one of MY favourite bands/acts.... I'd be absolutely FURIOUS at them, not blowing my stack at someone on an Internet website who's actually making a PERFECTLY VALID POINT....

 

Are you REALLY that dim Ty....? Why the fukk are you caring about her, man....? It's bloody obvious that she doesn't care about ANY of her fans if she's so bloody contemptuous as to go on tour and mime about 95% of her set.....

 

Your taste in music's actually gotten a LOT better than a couple of years back mate, time to jettison this fake whore who cares absolutely NOTHING for you if she cant even sing at her shows, invest your time and money in acts who DO care to show a bit of professionalism and always put on a good LIVE show for their fans.....

Have you actually done your research on me? OR Britney, for that matter. I have never said I LIKED that she lip synced, but regardless the show her and her dancers put on is amazing, watch the f***ing videos and realize that she still puts ALOT of work into her tours, from co-producing to helping with costumes, etc. Just because you don't see something from someone else's perspective does not make them DELUDED. And to say that your post was a bit facetious is an understatement.

 

The fact Britney continues to put out music makes me happy, I'm not looking for a cookie and a personal note from her everytime I purchase merchandise from her brand. And just because she doesn't sing all her songs live does not mean she doesn't appreciate her fans.

 

It's funny how a simple pop star can show you how ignorant some people are.

 

Did I actually even mention you by name.....? NO, I didn't..... I'm thinking more of these absolute idiots who go on TV and say stupid sh"t like "Oh, we dont mind if she mimes, it's still a great show".... NO, IT FUKKIN' ISN'T A GREAT SHOW YOU TW@TS...... How can it be a great "live" show, when the person they're paying to see aint even bothering their arse to do her job.....? You know, you can talk about the dancers and the stage set and blah, blah this and that all you want mate... But it's like the blockbuster movie which is all great FX and no plot or story - ultimately, it's SH!TE because there is nothing there of substance.... Yeah, a "great show", whatever dude..... It's all fukkin' window dressing with nothing in the shop, it's a nice layer of icing on a cake made out of dogsh!t......

I'd find it an offensive that they are charging $300 in the first place, then miming after paying that is just like they are p***ing on you.

It's bloody ludicrous to charge that sort of price for any show tbh.... I mean, let's compare this to Iron Maiden shall we.... Maiden have charged hard-core fans £400 for one of their European shows, but for this you get to go in a plane PILOTED by Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, flights to and from the gig, and the gig itself..... I think that rather marvellous actually, and it just goes to show how much Maiden love their fans really, I cant think of any other band in the world that would offer this level of 'customer care' tbh....

for a normal price (if not cheaper) Trent Reznor offers his fans, personalised tickets, that you pick up from the venue, where you also get to go in earlier than everyone else, skip the normal que, and occasionally get to see tr soundcheck, where as for like £50 to see Britney, you have to sit miles away from the stage where she is a dot anyway, then your there and have been ripped off, you get treated by her not even singing :|

 

apparently she is a "great person", surely if she was, she would out a stop on her fans quite clearly getting ripped off, and then actually have the decency to sing live...

I was at a gig in a fetish club watching a band named Malificent who are a Gothic/Bondage/Industrial act, and their singer was singing live WHILE ballet dancing/pirhouetting and while she was being tied up and swung from a harness about 20-feet in the air.... Oh, please, let's not even PRETEND that Britney is incapable of being able to sing while relatively unrestricted, was she being tied up with ropes Japanese Bondage style.....? Like fukk..... :rolleyes:

 

if britney even sang her ballads live i would give her a little credit, but she won't do that and i agree the prices been charged for tickets is ridiculous considering it ain't a live show at all. i wonder if one day by miracle she decides to do a live vocal concert will she feel she has the right to charge double the money seeing its actually live!

You all obviously have your opinion and that's fine, there is no point in arguing about it. But you did say BRITNEY FANS, Grimly, and I am indeed a BRITNEY FAN.

 

You can get a decent seat at her show for a mere $40, it's not that expensive at all. The fact is I have had love for her for 10+ years, and I'm sorry I'm not gonna bitch about her not being up to par with her past tours because of all the $h!t she has been through. I think she is doing this tour to prove to the people around her that she is sane again and that if she can handle a worldwide tour then she can handle having custody of her kids again and doesn't need to be under a conservatorship. People have motives and I can understand hers.

 

But while she is handling her motives she is also entertaining her fans.

 

No need to reply to this because I won't be replying to this thread anymore. To continue arguing about this is pointless and a waste of time. I will always be a Britney fan, so it is what it is.

Look! She can't sing so she mimes! End of! Now close this bloody boring thread!

I have to agree grimly is too hard on britney & her fans who adores her regardless.

On the Amy Whorehouse point, i saw her last year at T In The Park, i was quite far back, so it did look like she was live, but from what i gather from those who were a lot closer and those who watched it on tv, the dirty skank Mimed.

 

She had the cheek to be late, come on stage sway about a bit and mime at a f***ing festival. I quite like Back to Black, and i adore the song she did with Mutya, but the druggy can f*** right off. I won't be buyin her next record, and i sure a hell don't want to see Miss Buena near a recording studio with her. I have far far far to much respect for Mutya to see her associate with trash.

 

 

On the price front, i paid £23.50 for the Sugababes GH tour, and i would have paid more. It was worth every penny for that experience. They did f*** all dance wise but i couldn't fault their stunning vocals and i was massively impressed by Amelle's ability on the Mutya songs, especially the medley of album tracks they did, which included two of my favourite tracks from the Mutya Era. I paid even more for the last gig [£26] but it was worth it's weight in gold amazing costumes, some dancing and faultless vocals. And i got to meet them after. They all spoke to their fans and took photos, with Amelle spending the longest chatting to us. As a band they know that it is us that put them where they are and they have said numerous times before that they care for their fans. Keisha once called the bands fans 'Long distance best friends'. I respect that you may not like their music in the slightest, but i do thank you for acknowledging their talent and vocal abilities which are second to none.

I presume you're referring to this performance:

 

 

The only way that's mimed is if she mimed to some crappy slurred vocals. :heehee: She's a bit of a mess there but she hasn't been at her best in a while, she still doesn't resort to miming. (and I'd be shocked if she ever has) She's f***ed herself up more than Britney ever has. That said, I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy watching a whole concert of Amy like that, it'd be a bit upsetting. :(

Oh jesus h christ.

 

That sounded so much better from 200odd meters back. Then again, i did have thousands of people singing along between me and the speakers.

 

That;s the first time i've seen a video from T in the Park, the BBC's site was being an arse last year and wouldn't let me watch miss Cilmi in action so i gave up :heehee:

 

She really was horrific, she sounded so much better where i was, or should that be, the crowd sounded so much better :lol:

 

At least i can say i saw here properly live before the eventual day comes when she kills herself with her problems. :(

You do chat an awful lot of crap :\ Find me a performance of Amy Winehouse miming. You won't! Simple as that! Yeah she turned up late, better than cancelling gigs like Mutya did last minute whilst she was in the sugababes :rolleyes: Im a big Mutya fan but a load of old $h!t! And Mutya's mimed many times whilst in the sugababes! Amy's never mimed so why your jumping on her I don't know! :mellow: And you don't won't her to work with her again, well I don't think Amy would wanna. The single was a MAHOOOOSIVEEEEE flop :\
