OMG NOW I CAN GO SEE HER

[happyface]

She should do more Canada dates!

[RobbyMinaj]

YES!!! I PROMISE I LEARNED MY LESSON, B! I'M IN THE MIX AND WILL BUY TICKETS! I WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!

[NorthStar]

I want to go again, with a friend that couldn't make it the last time. Much more convenient to get to MSG than fucking Jersey also.

[goomba]

I'm def going again.

[V3RY P05H]

I'll try, but knowing how psycho her stans are I'm not holding my breath.

[M_Vallee]

I've already seen the Circus tour twice, but might go again with my husband at MSG.

[Steve]

It's her best show to date!

[Gwynne]

Can she come back to the UK again?

[Lupin]

I don't know if I want to go. The show looks wack. And I still hold a Britney concert grudge after she cancelled her Onyx Hotel Tour concert in VA Beach back when I lived there.

[NorthStar]

Well, then you should be happy she cancelled as this show is about 40x better than the Onyx garbage.

[Synth]

I think Britney would be fun in Vegas.

[Lupin]

Well, then you should be happy she cancelled as this show is about 40x better than the Onyx garbage.

Does she even dance? I've seen clips and it's looked like someone else who I wouldn't want to see live.

The videos etc do not do it justice whatsoever. She does not dance like 2001, but she is also not in Skechers. I think overall the production value is very high, and the best parts of it (Circus, Piece of Me, Radar, Get Naked, Toxic, Baby) are worth the price. But I am a Britney fan, so obviously I am going to like it.

[Sexor]

She is coming to Tulsa!

[Celebutante]

when the fuck do tix go on sale?

The dancing is different because of the staging, it would be shit if she just danced in the middle of the stage as she did in 2004 (although people seem to think she danced way more than she actually did, post-VMAs 07 - I remember back on The Onyx Hotel, there were a lot of songs she didn't actually move to, yet mimed, including Breathe On Me, Touch Of My Hand, Shadow, etc.) - she moves from stage to stage to stage. MATM has some great Bollywood moves, Slave has elements of the old choreography, and she is the centre of the magic on the stages. I can't wait to see the show for the second time!
