Britney Spears is having a pretty crappy week. She is said to be upset about fans walking out during a performance and criticisms of her Australian shows.
Britney Spears landed in Australia last week for her first ever shows there. Having not lip-synced and waddled around on an Aussie stage before, she clearly didn’t know that they have far higher standards for their shows down under. The singer, who isn’t really a singer but we aren’t supposed to point it out in case we upset her, was called out for her not singing live.
Last week, officials in Australia were debating whether it should have been mandatory to declare on promotional material that Spears was not singing live for most of her show. This is not something most of us need pointing out. Her fans know she would sound like unicorn farts and possum burps if she ever tried to sing and stumble around like a drunken college student at the same time. However, the controversy ended badly on the weekend. It was reported that hundreds of her fans walked out, three songs in, during her second show.
After poor reviews and non-stop bashings in the media, Spears is said to be sobbing into the shedding strands of her weave and then blowing her nose into her bras before they disintegrate from non-use.

“Britney is aware of all this and she’s extremely upset by it,” Paul Dainty, Spears’ tour promoter, told The Australian on Monday. “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.” Critics called her first concert, held in Perth on Friday, “boring” and “stiff.” In their reporting, Perth Now claimed “hundreds of fans stormed out” of the Friday concert. One fan, 22-year-old Amanda Hawlet put it bluntly: “I want my money back or I want her to sing properly. The ticket cost me $200 and she lip-synced the whole thing.” (via Pop Eater)

You’d think some kind of apology or statement to her fans would be warranted.
You can’t cry foul when you fouled it up in the first place.
Maybe she can lip-sync an apology?
That may be the best idea I’ve ever heard, about anything, ever… in the whole world. She should sooooo do just that and POOF, every one’s happy!
