Britney Spears: Overpriced and Overhyped?

Originally published on www.the-experts.co.uk

Britney Spears is without doubt one of the biggest pop stars of the last 25 years. She has had countless hits and multiple platinum selling albums around the world and is the 8th best selling female artist in America.

But with the announcement of her latest tour, many people have been wondering whether there is much point in going to see her?

After the promotion for her latest album Femme Fatale, Britney was slated by a number of music critics and journalists due to her lacklustre promotional performances which mainly involved her lip-synching and walking aimlessly around a stage with dancers that engulfed her and practically covered her from view.

During her Circus Tour, the songs were great, the dance numbers were amazing and the staging was outstanding, but Britney herself was a little lacklustre.

She didn't sing, the dancing was brilliant but it was mainly the dancers doing the dancing, while Britney walked around and looked a little lost in the huge production.

If this last tour and the recent promotional performances are nothing to go by, then, fans will not be willing to pay £60 to watch her get lost in a world of dancers and extravagant stages.
