It’s been an open secret for years that Britney Spears does not actually sing at her live concerts. She is lip-synching to the pre-recorded tracks of her albums. The excuse usually given is that due to the high-energy dance routines that she performs while she “sings”, she would be too out of breath to give a good vocal performance.

Since you cannot click [...]
Please, please, PUH-LEEZE stop talking about “What do we call the last decade?” Nobody could come up with an acceptable choice ten years ago, and nobody’s going to come up with one now. “Aughties” and “Naughties” are contrived and stupid, and so is the very idea that anything wraps up all nice and neatly into [...]
My ears are crying, and Britney is caterwauling all the way to the bank.
