Spent Easter with Britney Spears, the Circus tour was really ridiculous (in a GOOD WAY), over-the-top, intense and soooo gorgeous. At this very moment, she is on the top of her game and if she's wise, when it's all done she should just call it a day. Britney a singer, she is not, but she is one hell of an entertainer. The stage was set up like a three ring circus and the video screens were large and wrapped around the stage. I won't really do a step by step review, so here's the breakdown:

The outfits were spot on gorgeous that really worked to her advantage. I've seen pics online of the bollywood and freakshow outfit and was kinda put off, but I swear, those must have been bad pics. She isn't toned as much as others would like, but for me, she's smokin' hot and I'd kill to have at least 10% of it. The Womanizer outfit was the best outfit of the night, the heels, tights and belt. Wow.

Her dancers had this little segment that really showcased her talents and bought that one dancer up and center, what was his name? The one everyone swears she is dating. Hot stuff, I swear we got the best of it over on the west side of the venue. Boy lifted his shirt and showed off the goods. Love it. Love it.

The setlist had some people seething but it worked for me. Blackout was a commerical flop, no one bought the album, but I did and it's her best work. From start to finish each track is a winner. Her setlist had lots of Blackout and I could tell the crowd around me, at least was a bit lost. Break the ice, Freakshow, Radar, Piece of Me, Hot as Ice. I got lucky, all those not singles but all hits (to me!). I now I bitched and moaned about not having Toy Solider but I guess I can't push my luck.

The audio to the tour is so well done, all the songs were remixed and that might put some people off, but she took songs that haven't aged well. Baby, one more time has NOT aged well as a pop song, but she remixed it and made it seem oh-so-brand new. She needs to release the audio of this. The Gimme More remix was morped into a chinese battle song and it WORKED. It sounded so good.

The fans, you could some were diehards, some were so-so fans and some were just whores. Ahhaa. Just kidding, but my section, no one stood in front of me, there was no seat in front of me, but the people around me didn't stand and the girl behind me asked me to sit down, but why should I, if my entire show is stand and I glance around and the sections next to me were standing? I wonder if this girl has ever been to a concert, who the hell sits? If Britney is going to give me 100%, I shall return the favor. So I told her, it's nothing personal, but I just never sit at shows. So I stood, the entire time. But sadly you COULD tell people didn't know the Blackout tracks and even something as obscure and yet fan-favorite Do Something the people in the crowd didn't embrace, but I loooooooooved it. Euro-pop-trash for the win!

THE MERCH WAS TOO DIE FOR. But yet, so expensive! I spent over 150.00 and got the Top Hat, the tote bag, the two cups, the posters and a t-shirt. And yet I felt like I got nothing. Sadly most of her stuff is geared towards the girls and everything was xsmall. But her stuff was CUTE as hell. If I weighed 90 lbs, I would live in her gear. But sadly, I do not. Don't be fooled by all the hype around the lolipop case/carrier. It's small in RL, almost like a pez. Just a warning.

She's coming back to Oakland later this month. I MIGHT go. I might.

Britney done me proud. I saw her at least 8 years ago at the same place and it was a joke. I vowed never to see her again, but after the greatness that is Blackout I knew I'd give her another chance. So happy I did.

NOW PIC SPAM UNDER THE CUT!
