Britney Spears’ lip-syncing pisses off Australian gov’t

November 6th, 2009 // 73 Comments

An Australian government official has made the astute observation that Britney Spears fans are basically morons who have no idea she’s lip-syncing her entire stage show, according to People:

Virginia Judge, the Minister for Fair Trading for New South Wales (the Australian state that includes Sydney), said she is considering options to make sure fans aren’t misled when buying tickets to Britney’s Circus tour concerts. Some seats are going for more than $1,300.
“It is Britney’s ‘prerogative’ to lip-sync, and it is my job to make sure consumers know what they are paying for up front,” Judge said in a statement released by the government.
One idea is to require disclaimers on promotional materials and tickets indicating that portions of a show will be pre-recorded.

Here’s what I don’t get: With the vast array of technology used to make it look like Britney Spears can sing, dance and not murder her children with a bucket of chicken, do they even really need her at this point? They could probably replace her with a cat and save a shitload of money on Starbucks expenditures alone. People would be like, “Hey, did you get the new singing cat album?” and I’d be all “Meow, yeah!” because that’s how popular it would be. True story.

    #40; I don’t know what part of Australia you are from, but in Melbourne, we are more than capable of dealing with Britney Spear’s lipsyncing without government help. I am sorry that you don’t have the mental capacity to figure it out for yourself. Did you get the government memo that was sent out to warn you that knives are sharp yet?

    She’s a great singer and a great dancer! But now,she has self-esteem issues because the media told everyone what was going on in her PERSONAL life! She doubts herself! She doesn’t want to sing incase she stuffs up! The media would be all over her again! I congratulate her for even standing up on that stage after everything! I congratulate her for facing in front of thousands of people because it isn’t an easy task! I congratulate her for not backing down and for continuing her career!Go Brit!
