King Baby Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Her 85-minute show at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night, already brief by arena standards, paused several times for costume changes and dance interludes. And when Spears was on stage, she appeared to be lip-synching much of the time. Spears' fans, who, judging from the crowd, are still numerous and highly engaged, contend there is no way for her to sing and perform the elaborate dance routines that are part of her act. But even stipulating that singing and dancing are mutually exclusive pursuits, which has not historically been the case, Spears' moves lacked precision and snap. Minor glitches, such as wobbly set pieces or a sequined jacket that snagged when it should have pulled off smoothly, marred the illusion of a well-tuned spectacle. And even though Spears pulled an audience member on stage for a lap dance during "Lace and Leather" and invited a few dozen for a dance-off on "Womanizer," she never engaged the crowd in more than pro forma banter. When she grabbed a seat and turned on her microphone for the ballad "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know," she proved she is still eminently capable of putting a song across. And new songs such as the dance-floor anthem "Till the World Ends" and the double-Dutch ditty "How I Roll" are as catchy and insinuating as anything she has recorded. But she seems as though she is playing catch-up with more vital artists, such as opener Nicki Minaj, whose sci-fi-themed set drew deafening applause. Minaj, who earned a one-song encore of her own, reappeared at the end of Spears' set for a guest rap, but only as a virtual presence on the video screens. Perhaps Minaj was just putting her high heels up after a high-energy performance, but it might just have been Spears' way of putting the competition in her place.

henrietta. Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I'm shocked Jive hasn't dropped her as the opening act like they did Ciara. Yeah..I hear she's been murdering .. She did when I saw her.

Fanka Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 GIRL.... I know those same reviewers had better given Janet RAVE REVIEWS! Janet pretty much has been getting Rave Reviews for this tour. Not sure about her shows overseas, tho. The only tour I can recall Janet getting bad reviews is the Rock witchu tour. & those bad reviews seemed shady...because they kept bringing Madonna up.

I remember the AFY tour getting some bad reviews and usually it was for the same reason you mentioned... the reviewer bringing up Madonna. Madonna's stans are so catty.

I think I might of seen just a couple of bad reviews & they weren't even that harsh tbh. Madonna stans are just old ugly& pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, MOST were favorable, and also said Janet had a better show than Madonna, but a few WENT IN! lol Dragged her for filth all in the name of Madonna...obvious stans. I've gotten use to it over the years. Janet fans are often called "pressed" when the topic concerns Madonna, but her stans are just as pressed (if not more so). Janet is still a sore spot to her stans... and especially pre-superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
