Raw Lipsyncing Through Music Removal -

A video shows Britney Spears performing at a Las Vegas concert with mostly her vocals audible as she sings breathlessly into her microphone. This live feed was naturally not what the audience heard. What is most shocking is that Spears sings poorly and off-key. A mediocre pop singer may not have a great voice but she has to be in tune with the music at the very least.

Granted, it is not easy to sing and dance at the same time and Britney Spears has been known to lip sync active numbers. But at the same time, one has to wonder if the ticket prices are worth it for a “live” show.

Furthermore, if this video was not faked in any way, it really does make you wonder if she had any talent in the first place. It also raises the suspicion that this might be a money making stunt to squeeze every last penny out of the singer’s already troubled life.
