However, after only three of Brit’s songs were played, the fans started to make their way out of the concert in disappointment at the fact that she was lip-synching. The only songs during the show that weren’t mimed were the ballads. Average cost of tickets are $200.

One fan, Amanda Hawlet spent $500 in a weekend getaway, trying to go and see Britney. She said of Spears, "I want my money back or I want her to sing properly. The ticket cost me $200 and she lip-synched the whole thing.

She continued, "It’s cost me half a week’s wage and you’ve got bills to pay, but you look forward to this concert, it’s a night out – and what do you get? Nothing. It was a waste of $200 – I could have got four pairs of shoes for that."

Also, despite the round stage, which held fans surrounding all parts of the stage, some of the fans say that Britney hardly looked their way during the performance.

Well, it does suck that they paid good money to see Britney and didn’t know she would be lip-synching, but this is Britney Spears we’re talking about! If you go to a Britney Spears concert you should go expecting to be entertained, but certainly not to hear a bunch of live performances! Shouldn’t her fans know that by now?

Some of the outfits are so  wacky and out there – yet so perfect at the same time. She performed for a sold out crowd and seemed to be having a blast doing it!

On her Twitter account Brit writes, "I found my hiding spot. Can you guess where it is?" and has begun giving out clues, "I’m going to be hiding somewhere in Manhattan… HAHAHA!!!". If you’re a Britney fan, you better get started!

I can’t wait to see if anyone is successful! You can follow Britney on Twitter, here.  Make sure you keep an eye out for any more clues. Right now, the Manhattan clue is so general it could be tough. Good luck to anyone who tries! Z100 New York is also giving out clues, so follow them, here.

Brit comes down from the ceiling in her ringmaster outfit and goes on to perform her hit single “Circus.” She’ll be going back on tour on August 20th and says that some changes have been made. She reveals, “We have a song called ‘Mannequin’ that we’re adding to the show, which I’m really, really excited about, so it should be interesting. We have to update [the show] or it gets really boring." Enjoy the clip from her tour below!

The tour is supposed to have a Garden of Eden theme. In addition, the choreography who worked with Michael Jackson on his “This Is It” tour is said to be working with Leona Lewis on this tour as well.  Shaheen got international recognition after performing “Who’s Loving You” at Michael Jackson’s memorial service on July 7th.  It was certainly a powerful and well done performance and definitely left a lasting impression on me. He’s got a great voice, so I’m sure it’s going to be a great show with both him and Leona!

She has been working hard on her newest album, bringing out people like Justin Timberlake and Ryan Tedder to help her out. American artist, Novel, recently had some sweet things about Leona.

He says, “She knows exactly what she wants. She’s very strong-headed, strong-minded, but the sweetest person. I never had somebody tell me no in the nicest way. When I write something and she may not feel it, she goes [in British accent], ‘I don’t think I’d actually say that.’”

Looks like Leona has been quite busy getting this album together and preparing for the tour!

The “Whatever U Like” songstress revealed, ”I never have and I never will. I grew up singing and this is what I do. I would be a horrible lip-syncher. I would only ever sing live – that’s why people come and see the show.”

Nicole continues on by saying that she understands why some might look to that instead, “It’s not the easiest thing in the world to sing and dance at the same time, which is why I’m grateful to be able to do both.”

She was also asked if sex was important to her, to which she replied by saying, "No, making love is important to me… but music is more important. Having my relationship so much in the spotlight definitely makes things interesting. It’s not easy, but where there’s a will there’s a way."

She definitely seems to be taking her career really seriously. I think she just needs to make sure that she’s not taking it too far. I mean, hopefully her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton wasn’t too offended by that last comment.

Madonna said in Udine, "I am devastated to have just received this tragic news.  My prayers go out to those who were injured and their families, along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news."

They have now cancelled the sold-out show in Versaille which was supposed to take place on Sunday. No official word has been put out as to why exactly the roof collapsed. However, it has been claimed that it became unsteady as cranes were lifting it up.

I can’t imagine how Madonna must feel and of course the families of the ones who passed away. I would feel awful that they were building something for me and then passed away. My heart goes out to them. Here is a video of Madonna expressing her sadness after hearing the news.

She says of Hart, “We’re having a blast. We love wrestling. Carey and I spend a lot of time wrestling in our hotel room. We have naked dance parties too. It’s so much fun.”

When asked about their relationship, she says, “It’s all good now. We have a lot of fun together. He’s so yummy.”

Recently, the “Please Don’t Leave Me” singer had a bit of scare during on of her shows on tour.

Pink explains of the scary experience, “I do this stunt where I’m singing while flying through the air. My bungees broke, the whole motor broke. I was hanging there in heels thinking, If I fall shall I land on my heels and break my ankles or my hands and break my wrists or worse. It was scary but it was okay in the end.”

Well, I’m glad that she and Carey seem to have worked out their problems and seem to be having a great time. But I’m sure that experience during her concert must have been absolutely terrifying for her – and for the fans who watched it go down!

She supposedly needs twelve different kinds of soda, six types of vitamin water, cheese that isn’t smelly, a roast chicken, starfish tuna, deli meats, three coffee tables, three floor-length mirrors, five large sofas and two professional make-up mirrors. According to The Sun UK, This was all provided for her during one of her shows on June 26th.

That’s pretty ridiculous. Why would anyone need twelve different sodas? And isn’t one professional make-up mirror enough? I guess not for Gaga…
