Britney loves to lip-sync

Yes, folks, this is no joke. Britney Spears actually hires a lip-sync coordinator. Though he is not listed on the tour program, I am told that the lip-sync coordinator's job is to make sure that all the pre-recorded music and vocals are in place. But he nearly walked out after Britney's concert in Vancouver, the same one where she walked off stage because there was too much smoke. Rumor has it that the lip-sync coordinator has been spending way too much time changing the tapes so Britney doesn't mess up and feels he's not being paid enough.

I'm not a Britney basher. I was one of the few people who defended her last year when she was going through her self-destructive phase. Not only did I defend her, I prayed for her despite the fact I'm not religious. I'm not like the rest of the media, who likes to build up stars, trash them down just for the sake of trashing them down and then build them up again just for the sake of building them back up.

Britneys 2008 album, Circus, is awful compared to 2007's Blackout - a brilliant album thanks to producer Nate "Danja" Hills. Her Circus Tour has received some praise, but most note that nearly all the show is completely lip-synced. While I completely understand the need for some artists to lip-sync a small portion of their show, I can't understand why Britney has to do this for practically the whole show, save for one or two songs. She actually has a decent voice, which is demonstrated here.  

Lets hope that Britney keeps improving her mental health and that if she doesn't, the media won't have a field day like they did last year. Let's also hope that Britney can start doing something that is artistically worth raving about.
