Britney Spears is not going down well, down under. Australian media is stating that fans at her concert in Perth Australia have walked out in numbers complaining they spent hundreds of dollars a 'cheap act'.
In response, Britney's tour operator, Paul Dainty reports "Britney is aware of all this and she's extremely upset by it."
However Paul wants to set the record straight on Britney's behalf saying, "She's a human being. I'm embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting.
"It's the biggest lie I've ever heard. I'm so angry.
"We can take heat if there's something wrong and people can review shows badly - that's something you have to live with - but to say people stormed out of the show was an absolute fabrication."
The question is who do you believe? Britney's camp or the media armed with quotes from concert goers? Take for example, Kathy Wright's claim to the Perth Sunday Times, "It was just really bad." While another fan reported to Nine Network, "People are paying for it and have come here so she should sing."
How did this all come about? Last week, NSW Fair Trading Minister Virginia Judge started the lip-sync debate after she told The Daily Telegraph that Sydneysiders would not tolerate a "Mickey Mouse performance" from Spears. In response the Australian media has been quick to find naysayers to bolster the Trading Minister's arguments.
The fact that Spears performs with lip-syncing is actually a known fact according to Dainty whom plays off with this statement, "It's been all over the Internet for nine months. This show isa bout an incredible spectacle, which it is."
Well see if the Australian media dogs her as her next concert performance will be in Melbourne, then Sydney, Brisbane and across the continent to Adelaide.
