LOLZ. ^ I also think the point Tyler made is important .. why is this SUDDENLY an issue? Britney has mimed/sung along for her last 2 tours before this one. Why is it suddenly a problem, when it wasn't in 2004? All these 'huge Britney fans that have been let down' ... where were they in 2001-04? I'm not saying it's ideal, or even right, to lip-synch on tours (although from my previous post, people know I don't care much either way), but it's hardly a SURPRISE for this tour.

^ It's expensive for anyone! There's no-one in the world I'd pay that much to see, even with the bonuses.

OMFG, I SEE THE CIRCUS TONIGHT. *uber-hyperventilate* 15 hours, people!!!! :cheer: :yahoo:

This is the vital point here ... a lot of people in this thread are talking about miming artists 'cheating' their fans. But surely to God, anyone who's been a Britney fan for any reasonably length of time (hell, even anyone who saw her X Factor performance) would KNOW that she won't sing live. She barely sung any of the Onyx Hotel tour live in 2004, and no-one had an issue with it like they suddenly do now. So I'm using Britney as an illustration because I know the most about her, but it applies to MJ/etc aswell Anyone who comes out of one of Britney's O2 concerts this week feeling cheated because she mimed deserves it for their ignorance and stupidity of thinking she wouldn't. We can debate til the cows come home about whether she should, but the fact is that people have known for 5-6 years that she won't ... why suddenly be surprised when she doesn't sing live for their show? I'm going tomorrow, and have REALISTIC expectations of what she'll do, and so won't feel like I've been cheated, because I got what I expected. I also think Britney is a performer and visual artist before a singer. Her songs are that ... songs, not 'pieces of art' or even (arguably) 'music'. I'm a huge Britney fan, but I'm realistic ... they're uber-produced pop songs performed by a pretty blonde woman. But fact is, they're intense fun and look fantastic on a similarly styled visual production. There ARE exceptions, because all different artists provide different things. I'll go and see Britney for her stunning stage show, and I don't much care if she mimes, because I'm not there to see her prove herself as a vocalist ... I'm just not interested in that from her. I'll go and see Kelly Clarkson because of her, proven, amazing voice - I do want her to sing live because that's what she's amazing at. Both shows are fascinating for different reasons. I maybe could have both, if I went to see Pink, but I won't, because I don't like any of her songs that much. Why do I have to choose to go and see a Diversity show if I want dancing? They're incredible, but it wouldn't be like the Britney show. Why can't I have both in the same place and save myself about 200 quid? I'd also point out that just because Britney fans don't care about her not singing live, doesn't mean they have no musical credibility or taste ... we're not stupid. Not a direct criticism at anyone here, but it's just something I've come up against a lot ... people think because I can enjoy a Britney concert, I can't enjoy anything of quality or worth. The bottom line is that anyone who doesn't understand what's so great about a Britney gig will NEVER be satisfied with any answer I could give. If you don't get what's incredible about it, you just don't get it :lol: Personally I'd just let everyone enjoy what they want to enjoy

Bitch is dangeroussssssss ...

I well love your hair :dance:

oh my god, they are TOO CUTE!

^ I like her too :)

God ... those pictures of Charlie are so cringey :lol: he looks so uncomfortable! but hot

Just watching this weeks ep now ... never mind this malarkey about Lorraine's CV being off a year, the dates I want checking are on Debra's birth certificate :o TWENTY THREE?! Her meanness has aged that bitch!

Not in order within the groups, just alphabetical :lol: Love Charlie Noirin Rodrigo Sophia Like Angel - she might be interesting, but will probably go in Week 1 like witchy-Mary in BB6 Beinazir Cairon Saffia - at least she's honest... Don't Mind Sophie Lisa Don't Like Freddie Kris Marcus Siavash Sree Hate Karly - I just cannot like anyone who spelly Carly with a K.

I think I'd like to see the following as official housemates Angel, Beinazir, Cairon, Charlie, Sophie, Kris, Lisa, Noirin, Rodrigo, Saffia, Sophia and Siavash assuming there will be 12? Out of them, my favourites would be Beinazir, Cairon, Charlie, Noirin, Rodrigo, Saffia and Sophia.

WELL hello Rodrigo and Noirin! So so beautiful. He is just SO cute, and she is obviously stunning. We can afford to lose some of the bimbos, but on the whole I think it's actually a really good group, and I probably will watch this summer. There are some airheads/odd people as you'd expect, but they don't seem as tryhard in their selection of housemates. Some of them are genuinely interesting people, it's like they've listened to what we've all been saying for the past 3 years: 'normal' people are more interesting than freaks and wannabes.

Please do ^ LOVE to hear all about it

Is that definitely the DR chair? We've never seen the chair before the launch night, it's like the only part of the house kepy secret usually :unsure:

I haven't read the books, but know many people who have ... basically the werewolf thing is as Joao suggested: I'm not really fussed one way or another about Twilight. Bearable enough ... but Being Human = :wub: Best thing on British TV in a long time IMO.

^ Sounds pretty interesting, reminds me of the heaven/hell rumour from a few years back.

A thoroughly spiteful review from The Sun, as expected :lol: Seriously, I could have written that for them before the show was even performed, it's so predictable. When will they realise that the 160,000 people who've bought tickets for the London shows don't give a $h!t about her singing live :lol:

I'm confused :lol: the e-mail's they've sent out have said the show finishes between 9:45 and 10:15, but some twittererers say it's still going on at 10:45 :o

I guess the show's coming to an end around now ... hope those who saw Queen B tonight had a great time!

Can't believe we've not seen any pics of her arriving in London yet. Hope everyone going tomorrow has an incredible time! Lots of reports, plz! Including start/finish times :kink:

I wouldn't believe this until it's confirmed on bs.com ... there was all sorts of fake $h!t going around during the NA leg of the tour. And since Brit smokes, I can hardly see her demanding a room that's never been smoked in :lol: Not to mention the fact that most/if not all UK hotel rooms are non-smoking.

But IMT wasn't very good current... I'm sure this will be incredible, I hope so!

It is just bizzare, I wonder who was on our jury. On behalf of the UK: we're sorry for giving 12, Europe!! But, even the televoters gave it points: 12 Points - Turkey 10 Points - Greece 8 Points - Lithuania 7 Points - Norway 6 Points - Malta 5 Points - Iceland 4 Points - Azerbaijan 3 Points - Denmark 2 Points - Germany 1 Point - Portugal Really shocked the televoters gave Portugal and Lithuania points (and to some extent, Germany)! Especially Lithuania, and so many :o

I probably would have gone for IUSA, as I just love the cheek of that song ... but the radio edits destroyed it. So, Womanizer :)
