dave32 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 hehe. Link From the piece: "... So now we think it's time to turn the tables back on our little friends from the Southern Hemisphere whom have made our standard bearer feel so icky over something that we all told her was just fine. A few questions for Mr. and Mrs. Australia before the lynch mob does something that we assure them, they will live to regret: • Do you really think there is anything real about the Britney experience in the first place that can be captured in a live concert? • Are you prepared for the consequences if she tries to sing and dance at the same time and something terrible happens? Do you really want that on your head Australia? • How do you know that it wasn't just a robot in the first place? • Do you really think we'd risk letting the actual Britney travel to foreign countries with bizarre snack foods and measurement systems? • If a robot sings live, and you feel that experience was "authentic" then who is the robot and who is the human being? Its easy for a little nation to throw stones at the giants of world culture, but beware, those fingers wrapped around that rock end up pointing right back at you."

dave32 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 The public feel ripped off ..remember the Milli Vanilli fiasco... One of those guys ended up committing suicide -- i believe. Weird story, that one, they won a grammy but didn't want to - it put them under scrutiny. Not only did they lip sync live, they never recorded their music at all, just hired for their looks. Defamer is a good site re: Hollywood. Run by bright and excessively cynical insiders, they see the 'industry' for what it is: a little talent, a lot of bullshit, and ridiculous ego. My next login is from LOS. w00t. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen.... good night (it's midnight here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Not sure why anyone is surprised considering it was made public months ago she would be lip syncing. "SYDNEY Britney Spears' Australian tour ran into controversy before it even began, with an official suggesting concert goers should be told if the pop icon would be miming her songs. Spears, who has rebuilt her career after myriad personal troubles in the wake of her 2006 divorce from ex-husband Kevin Federline, is due to kick off her Circus tour Down Under later Friday. But reports that she will lip-sync during many of the concerts prompted the New South Wales Minister for Fair Trading to suggest tickets should carry disclaimers about whether parts of the concerts were pre-recorded. Australians would not tolerate a "Mickey Mouse performance", Virginia Judge told Sydney's Daily Telegraph in reference to the US star's past as one of Disney's Mouseketeer personalities. "Let's be clear -- live means live," she said. "If you are spending up to 200 dollars (182 US), I think you deserve better than a film clip." Judge said the state New South Wales government would be happy to look at options such as placing a disclaimer on a ticket that would warn consumers a performance was pre-recorded. The minister said she had nothing against Spears but felt that concert goers should be told if musicians would be singing live." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
