BRITNEY SPEARS IS A JOKE

THE DOCTOR IS IN
________________

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how's the world treating you?

Britney Spears just performed in Australia. She and her promoters charged $200.00 for a ticket to see and hear this cartoon character allegedly sing. The majority of ticket holders that went to the concert were upset and I can't blame them. This "teeny bopper" wanna be did the "lip sync" thing again. People complained that they shouldn't have had to pay $200.00 for a ticket to only have her pretend singing.

Years ago Britney may have had a show that appealed to the "tweens" but this lady is not a teenager anymore and trying to market and sell herself like she is a teen idol is sad.

People shouldn't get paid for "lip sync" performances. Pretend singing just doesn't cut it. If any entertainer doesn't have the real talent to actually stand on the stage and sing live, who needs it. It's bad enough that in today's music world the technical mix jobs that can make a bad voice, or anyone sound good is out there and being used by no talent people.

The Australia concert goers could have bought an old CD of Britney and plugged it into an ipod to hear her and saved $200.00 and I suspect that even those CD's are pumped up with super mix sounds to make her sound like a singer.

I have always enjoyed and paid for live entertainment and great entertainers who have talent use their own voice rather than put everything together in a studio mix job and move their lips to a recording pretending they are actually performing.

I would suggest that when a concert or live performance is promoted the entertainment industry should be required to have full disclosure and indicate in any advertisement and indicate on the actual ticket when the artist will lip sync their show. Lip sync is a rip off. If the entertainer doesn't have the pipes, get out of the singing business.-And, that's my opinion
