Britney Spears Australian tour is not going well.
Several punters who had paid $200 a ticket walked out of her concert in Perth after only 3 songs – pissed off that she was miming (or ‘lip-synching’ as the cool dudes prefer to call it) rather than singing.
They had paid a lot of money to see her perform live and felt they had been ripped off when she mimed her songs.

… just get the right damn target next time guys!
