Britney Chews Gum While Lip-Synching

Britney Chews Gum While Lip-Synching - Man, is she talented or what?!

Britney Spears is continuing her mini-tour of performances and, believe it or not, many are those who are still applauding her comeback.. of sorts. However, even more are those who feel let down by the Princess of Pop, especially since, during her Anaheim gig, she chose to chew gum while lip-synching, thus making it all the more clear that, well, she is not a fan of singing live.

Of course, we have all grown up with Britney's music (more or less) and, thus, we all know only too well that she is not that kind of performer that sings live. In fact, I doubt anyone can say they saw Britney at least once singing and not simply mouthing the words of her tracks. Some fans find consolation in that, saying that, because there is a precedent, we can't all go 'Gee, she didn't even sing!'.

The bottom line is that, as the time passes, Britney's comeback is becoming the butt of all jokes for more and more people. If, in San Diego, she was well received, despite performing on stage for no more than 14 minutes, people who show up for her other shows are being offered less and less time. In Anaheim, for instance, the woman we all once called the pop idol spent only 12 minutes on stage while last night, in LA, her set was shortened by yet another minute.

And, to top it all, she doesn't even bother to pretend that she's singing any more. Many took this to heart, saying she couldn't have showed less respect than that to her fans had she tried. Die hard fans who went to the second gig were expecting something mind-blowing and were quite unprepared to see Britney chomping gum while not even bothering to mouth the words. Even more, there were quite a few who stated that her dance moves were not even that great to start with, and that the backup dancers were doing a fine greater job that the rehabbed star.

Even if this tour was not meant to be the big deal that it eventually turned out, people really hoped she would be able to pull this through. Back in January, after Britney's image took a turn for the worse, she promised she would be back 'bigger and better than ever'. Five months later, she gives us this: short sets, old choreography, old tracks, lame and tacky outfits and nothing of the glamor and fire that used to characterize her older shows. Was it all the waiting worth it? You tell me.
