VIDEO: Britney Spears "Extremely Upset" Over Lip-Synching Scandal
Posted on Nov 09, 2009 @ 06:02AM
Britney Spears is "extremely upset" as the biggest lip-synching scandal since Milli Vanilli unfolds around her, according to her Australian promoter.
About 100 fans walked out of her Friday show at Perth's Burswood Dome, angry at what they perceived were overpriced tickets and performances short on substance. Local media panned the Toxic singer, and officials from three Australian states -- Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales -- were discussing legislation that would force promoters to tell audiences when their concerts involve lip-syncing.

"Britney is aware of all this and she's extremely upset by it," her Australian promoter, Paul Dainty told newspaper The Australian. "She's a human being. I'm embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media, when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting."

John Mayer, also in Australia on a promotional tour, weighed in on the scandal via his Twitter account.
"If you're shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back," Mayer Tweeted, "life may continue to be hard for you."

She should watch Madonna perform. Full band, she sings all night. Or go see Prince. Spears looks like a bored house wife who dances with her hands

I find it funny that people are surprised the she lip synched. I'd be surprised if she sang live. If she did sing live I think more people would be complaining about their bleeding ears. LOL!

Have these people ever seen Britney sing? No. She never sings live. Why would she start now? Being in another country doesn't give you abilities you never had before.

Why she gets all this hype is beyond me. Listen to her background electrical tunes for every song she tries to sing. Without it she'd be catastrophic on stage. Give me Christina Aquillera anytime. Now, she knows how to SING!!!!

Even if she could sing why are you paying $200 a ticket?

I thought it was a well-known fact that she only lip syched during her concerts? I would NEVER pay money to see her concert....total B.S.

If Britney could sing, then she wouldn't have to sell sex to get people to go to her concerts. No one wants to hear her sing, just get up and shake her money maker. She's a high priced stripper.

It's just ridiculous! If you call yourself a SINGER than SING! If you can't SING, which we ALL KNOW You can't, then get off the stage and get a new career!!!
