Video: Flash Mob’s Train Cover Not As Terrible As It Sounds

Look, we’re just happy that this video of 900 Spanish students pretending to sing along to Train’s ‘Soul Sister’ isn’t part of some doofus’ wedding proposal. But man, why couldn’t they have done ‘Drops Of Jupiter?’ That’s our favorite Train song, for that one line “best soy latte that you ever had…and me.” Also, it kind of looks like a viral camera/printer commercial, doesn’t it? It’s so hard to tell these days!

Britney Spears gets support from Michael Buble

With the ongoing lip syncing backlash still going on in parts of the Australian media, Britney Spears got a bit of support from Michael Bublé.

The hit crooner is appalled that Britney is being dragged over the coals just because she doesn’t usually sing live for her shows. He told People magazine:

“You’d think she killed someone. Okay, she lip-synchs her show, people know that, they make the decision if they want to go and see her do that … Does she deserve the way she’s been completely bashed by the media here? No.”

Michael went on to say that the criticism goes beyond what would be appropriate and calls the assault “nasty”.

Go Michael!

Britney Spears backlash in Australia continues

Sherry — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:04:28 +0000

Wow! Australian Britney Spears fans are really irate over the lip sync (also known as the issue that will not die) aren’t they? Some of them are retaliating. Sort of.

Apparently some outraged one-time Britney fans are so upset that she doesn’t sing live at her shows that they’re selling off tickets they bought for her concert – and they’re selling them for a shockingly low $1 price!

You know, I can’t stop laughing at these people. Are they crazy? First they continue to be shocked that Britney Spears lip syncs despite the fact that pretty much everyone else in the world has known this for years and Britney herself has never tried to hide or deny it.

Second, really? Selling your tickets for a buck? Some of the auctions for Britney Spears Circus tickets are selling at a max of $20 apiece. So let me get this straight. People bought tickets for several hundred dollars each. They get so angry at Britney for not singing live that they sell them off for ridiculously low prices, thereby taking a huge financial loss. Meanwhile, Britney still pockets the profits and as a bonus some of her fans who maybe couldn’t afford to go to the show can now do so.

Wow. Well they sure showed HER didn’t they?

Britney Spears dealing with lip sync outrage

Sherry — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:54:29 +0000

Again I’m left confused and annoyed by the continuing outrage in Australia over Britney Spears lip syncing during her shows. Apparently none of the people who are bitter have ever actually heard of Britney since it’s very common knowledge that she pretty much always lip syncs during her concerts.

The latest upset is that various Internet sources are apparently reporting that angry fans stormed out of Britney’s Perth show last week, leaving in droves. According to Paul Dainty, Brit’s tour promoter, that’s an absolute lie. He said:

“It’s the biggest lie I’ve ever heard. I’m so angry. We can take heat if there’s something wrong and people can review shows badly – that’s something you have to live with – but to say people stormed out of the show was an absolute fabrication.”

I’m sure some people did leave but I imagine that the numbers have been greatly exaggerated. Clips that I’ve seen on YouTube show a pretty full house and comments on those videos have regularly stated that the venue was packed.

Paul went on to express his concerns for Britney because she’s been hurt by the negativity.

“Britney is aware of all this and she’s extremely upset by it. 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.”

Honestly. I still don’t get it. As I said already in a previous post, when you go see a Britney Spears concert you don’t go so that you can hear killer live vocals. You go for the SHOW, for the amazing performance. Anyone who doesn’t know that and ends up disappointed has clearly been living under a rock for years.
