How could someone post about an event 3 times but at the time, not even know where one is? She couldn’t make a speech? Or say anything unscripted? This just proves she’s not always in charge of her Instagram because she is absolutely clueless.

I keep seeing exhalers claiming the critical reviews for the POM tour are great, and I was wondering what the critics are seeing that we are not (or vice versa). Well, I just stumbled upon this critic’s review from the July 20th date, and despite some positive comments (one big dance party, etc), it’s a bit brutal at times, and frankly on par with what I’d be expecting given the quality of the show thus far.

But, since he highlighted both the positives and negatives, I felt it was a fair review. I was just taken aback to see someone outside of this fan base articulate the negatives quite so strongly, particularly since many here insist we are the only ones who notice the issues with POM. Also, finding out she apparently earns half a million dollars per show was just...astounding.

Review:

“Twenty-eight years after Milli Vanilli was stripped of its Grammy thanks to the lip-synching scandal heard around the world, Britney Spears lip-synched her way through a 90-minute, non-stop performance at the Borgata in Atlantic City on Thursday night, much to the delight of her fans who sold out the room in record time, paying hundreds of dollars for tickets to witness the spectacle.

I’ve seen acts lip-synch before, and I’ve seen many performers who sing along to their own vocal tracks, giving their aged voices a hand — Barry Manilow was doing exactly that at the Borgata a couple of weeks ago — but never have I seen somebody lip-synch so brazenly as Spears. 

She seemed to make little effort to move her mouth in time with the lyrics coming from the massive speaker array in the Borgata’s 2,000-seat Event Center. If you’ve ever seen the hilarious Bad Lip Reading videos on the Internet, it looked a little bit like that.

At one point, I thought Spears was adjusting her headset-style microphone in some display to indicate that she actually was singing, but then I realized, no, her lovely golden locks were simply tangled in it. And we can’t have that.

But once you learn to stop worrying and love the Britney and her lip-synching ways, she and her battalion of dancers and the production team do put on a good show, complete with circus stunts, sadomasochistic routines, and dazzling lasers. Well, at least it’s a good show for the set of people who don’t have a psychotic break every time “Oops!… I Did It Again” rears its head on Tidal. 

It’s one big dance party. I didn’t sit down once during the show, and I didn’t see anybody else sitting either, a complete 180 from the Barry Manilow crowd, which kept yelling at my cousin (she’s a crazy Fanilow) to put her butt in her seat.

And, truth be told, as soon as Spears spoke to the audience for a few seconds early in the set — “Are you ready to break the ice, Atlantic City?” she squeaked to introduce the song “Break the Ice” — I realized what a good thing it was that Spears wasn’t singing a note. She has the vocal quality of a chipmunk that’s being shredded on a box grater, and if you told me that she actually never sung a note on any of her albums, I would definitely not place a bet against you.

Really, I’m not exactly sure why Spears herself has to be there. Yes, she’s a pretty talented dancer in her own way, but certainly there are lookalike dancers out there who could lip-synch and dance just as well as she can and who wouldn’t cost $500,000 per show, the amount that Spears is reportedly getting. And then there’s also the hologram concert angle. Not sure why no one has thought of that.

Anyway, Spears has two more shows to go at the Borgata. Tickets will set you back around $300 on StubHub. Definitely a must for any big Spears fan, of which the Philadelphia market has more than a few. For the rest of us, probably more enjoyable to binge watch The Swan while drinking Zima.”

Britney does her shows for the fans

These critics are not saying anything new

As always, the fans enjoyed themselves and that's all that ever matters

FFney is better than 2018 POMney

Unfortunately i have to agree... The only thing she needed back in 2011 (if we don't mention the fact that she was "dead in her eyes") was the energy, now she has everything she needed back then aka body, confidence and everything except good choreos and when something is good (for example the old BOMT/OIDIA break) they change it to make it worse... wtf? I just saw a vid of BOMT/OIDIA at the Brighton pride and i was like: did she even EVER rehearsed that break? It's like she looks at the dancers and tries to copies their steps, it's very sad to watch tbh!

just take a look...
