    Anybody else hear of this. Its supposed to be a live show. If she is miming , why is she allowed. And what suckers are paying money to see someone lip sync to a cd. Is this bugging anyone else?

    DO you relise how many pop stars actually mime. She isn't the first or last person to do it.


    WOW she mimes, if you don't like it, don't get a ticket. Easy option.

    They probably mean "live" as in she's there, alive, not dead; miming, dancing, gyrating, simulating sex-acts. I don't think people go to her concerts for the music - it's more the dancing and maybe the sex-acts.

    and this surprises you why?

    She's a manufactured pop tart. Sweet, tasty and ultimately, disposable.

    I saw some clips of other concerts, some songs she does sing but some she doesnt even have a mic on.. Depends on how the song is being performed i suppose.

    I seen her new concert on tv it's more of a show than concert she does alot of performance with a load of costume changes and she does sing some so it's not that bad and she looks sexy!

    Rumour has it that she mimes on her records too.

    Were ya surprised?
    and did you enjoy the show?

    I can't believe anyone would expect her to sing live. She doesn't want to put off all the fans by being terrible @ the concert, hence the miming for most songs.

    Please provide proof that Britney mimes before you besmirch her reputation as an artist.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,558 ✭✭✭Slutmonkey57b


    Easy - the "voice" played through the speakers never changes in pitch or tone no matter how much jumping about she does. There's no pausing for breath, no breathing sounds, nothing. Try singing and jumping at the same time and you'll see what I mean.

    But you're right, even at that I can't besmirch her reputation as an artist because her only art is prancing about like a randy nubile slut. And we all salute her for it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,667 ✭✭✭MartMax


    that's what they call pop music...

    britney!!! britney!!! britney!!!

    muaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus


    nice pic on the front of today's examiner too...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 507 ✭✭✭[Preacher]


    Do you think she would sound the same as her CD's if she did sing live?

    lol.

    I was always under the impression that her singing had nothing to do with her art..


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,890 ✭✭✭embee


    Ha! I was at Britney last night. She does indeed mime.

    Her miming isnt the only fake thing about her.

    She's definitely had her boobs done.

    LOL :D Nice one :)
    Dont think a lot of ppl care about her mimicking anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    It's been well known that she mimes for years now!

    really found it funny watching her in one concert on TV, she was singing a song at the piano, and wasnt playing it at all!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭Nala


    Ha ha...I saw that too. She also makes the same supposedly-spur-of-the-moment heartfelt speech every night about her new single.

    Despite all this I'm off to see her at the RDS on Sunday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,190 ✭✭✭UnrealQueen


    How the hell is she supposed to sing and do her rigourous dance moves at the same time? Its not possible for anyone to do that. She sings her slow songs live anyway as she isn't jumping around the place then.
    supposedly-spur-of-the-moment heartfelt speech

    What on earth ever made you think it was spur-of-the-moment??? Nothing about a music show is ever spur-of-the-moment.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,977 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    Yes it's too much to ask for these "artists" to sing.


    Kids are stupid, and/or don't care.
    If you wanted to see someone sing, you wouldn't be listening to Britney anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,190 ✭✭✭UnrealQueen


    Wrong actually, Britney IS able to sing. But for me her show is about her dancing.

    Depends if you want to call "being auto-tuned" singing.
