Britney Spears Concert Pictures and Review

There is nothing better than a last minute spur of the moment Sunday night concert, especially if the concert is Britney Spears and The Pussycat Dolls… and you have kids. No I am not one of those guys thats going to act like he didn’t want to go to the concert, I wanted to go. Let’s face it Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls, all of the Pussycat Dolls and Britney Spears how can any straight guy not want to see that concert. I ended up getting the tickets late last week and wasn’t really sure what seats would be available and I knew that taking the kids would mean I wanted some decent seats. I ended up giving up on Tickets Now and Stub Hub and decided to see what Ticketmaster had in stock (if anything). I remember back to the Justin Timberlake concert when we had “Bar Stool Seating” and we loved it, only problem was all of those seats were sold out for the Britney Spears concert. I ended up stumbling on to Britney Spears Love Seat Tickets, I wasn’t really sure what this was about and anywhere I looked online no one had any mention of the Britney Spears Love Seats and where exactly those seats were. I ended up picking up 8 of the Love Seat tickets and even when printing the tickets out from Ticketmaster and even with the printed ticket the people at the stadium had no idea where the seats were. Shocker. When we started to head in the direction I thought it would be in someone decided to put us into the general admission area until one of the ushers figured out where the seats were. We ended up being in the Center Ring VIP East Section which were the Love Seats, the seats were pretty bad ass and extremely comfortable. Here is a picture of the seating for the seating labeled “Love Seats” for the Britney Spears Concert. I would highly recommend this seating to anyone that goes to the concert.

The Pussycat Dolls opened for Britney Spears and as of late I have been a huge fan of Nicole the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, she’s hot. James doesn’t think so, but who cares. Haha. Anyway back to Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls, I was excited to see how her performance would be and if she would lip sync the entire performance. Unlike Britney Spears the Pussycat Dolls actually sang every song and yes they stillllllll actually performed and danced instead of making excuses to lip sync their sets. The Pussycat Dolls definitely increased the shows value and did an excellent job of addressing Tampa Bay fans and one of the PCD‘s brought her niece on stage which Im sure made that little girls night. They also did an excellent job of working some classic songs into their set with a good twist which everyone seemed to like. The energy was excellent and they did an excellent job at hyping up Britney Spears as well, basically they did their job and did it well. Here is a picture of Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls during one of their performances in Tampa, I will be posting more pictures on Wednesday from the concert.

Now moving on to Britney Spears and her “Circus World Tour” performance in Tampa Florida on March 8, 2009. The show started off with Britney opening by coming down from the ceiling and performing the song Circus. The stage and set were excellent and created some great energy to kick off Britney’s concert, that energy seemed to lag in between songs and from song to song. I also think Britney was a little mix of terrified and excited which alarmed me, or at least made me think she was still a little loose in the skull. I think Britney and crew did a good job going from song to song, which honestly isn’t that hard when your clearly lip syncing and not even doing a great job at that. The true hardcore Britney Spears fans out there will tell you I suck and will go on to rave about how amazing she was, but I analyze sh*t and honestly I can go on for an hour about my issues with Britney Spears and her concert performance.

I was thinking about it last night when we got home and all I kept thinking was that if Britney Spears wants to continue touring and having people buy tickets for her concert she is going to need to get her sh*t together. A couple of years ago we went to one of Britney’s post breakdown performances at the House of Blues in Orlando Florida and we were subject to the fact that she was going to lip sync because she had just started her comeback. It was sold to us and well it’s Britney Spears so most of the public and her fans will buy that stuff, the first time around. Now here we are a couple of years later and supposedly Britney is no longer psychotic and she’s back again with her World Tour (sounds big), and here we are being sold that she will lip sync her concert because she simply dances so much that she would not physically be able to sing her own songs. Ummmmm, I bought that for a second too and that lasted until about half way through the Pussycat Dolls concert set when they clearly sang every lyric and danced much harder than Britney ever came close to dancing last night. Sorry to Brit’s handlers but you won’t sell me on another lip sync excuse and in reality Britney is either going to need to get her ass into better shape and practice the dance moves a little harder because if your going to sell me that you have to lip sync because of how hard you dance, I expect you to dance REALLY HARD. Not her case last night.
