With tickets running upward of $100 per show, the least a singer can do is actually sing.

Some concerts are about the songs and some are about the show. That's just the way it is.

Although, if they actually have to sing most of the new "talent" will get a quick retirement.

Seeing that she's basically a robot with no vocal skill what so ever, I'm shocked that people are angry she lip synchs her show...

She can't sing, and has no talent. Why anyone goes to see her is beyond me. Foolish people spending foolish money.

Will someone please taser Britney Spears for Lip sucking down under? What a surprise. She always lip sync-ing at concerts.

    Seriously, people expected her NOT to lip-synch? How ignorant can you be? This woman is so not talented. Singing live would be a disaster.

    Given how electronic her music is - why do people think that is her real voice?

    You know she cant sing live, so why would you expect her too. I gave up on concerts years ago.

    lip synching is the norm for any big show, anyone that does not know that is naive at best. this is not limited to any single artist.

    Really? It's Britney Spears. Go to see a real artist if you want a real show.

    Mayer is correct in his statement. The FACT that Spears lip-syncs and has a lackluster show is NO SECRET! It's been panned for months!

    Is anything in Britney's career ever about the great singing? I saw the concert. Entertaining - yes. Musically great - no.

      I saw Britney in concert earlier this year knowing she was going to lip sync and the show still rocked.

      I never thought she had a good voice - obviously her managers don't either.

      If you like the music just buy the cd, don't waste money trying to "see" someone.

        Just saw Ian Anderson live, great show and he sang every song. $50.00. A live show is just that and that's why they get paid so much money.

          It's widely known that she lip-sync's and that she doesn't even sing well. She's not an artist or musician, you get what you paid for.

          Does anyone really think she can actually sing without it being digitally enhanced? Grow up....she's not a "singer" she's an "entertainer"

          We should all be grateful that Britney was lip-synching. Anyone who has heard her sing knows they're better off listening to a track!

          Anyone who thinks Britney can sing without a studio full of equipment to "enhance" her voice probably believes in the tooth fairy too.

          But I also understand that she can be out of breath with all the dancing!

          She sucks now. It's your own fault if you pay $150 a ticket to see her lip sync.
