So last night was the kick off to Britney's Circus Tour in New Orleans and the reviews are pretty much all saying he same thing, it was alright but there's confidence that it'll get better. They also say that it's more about the show than Britney, with all that's going on onstage she often gets lost. I'm thinking that was the plan from the get go, in case she sucked really badly.
Some quotes:
NY Daily News:
"...she came across mainly like a Fembot - a dutiful, spry and attractive machine.
In that sense, the show suited the "Circus" theme more than it may have intended.
In the end, it's all about maintaining an illusion. "
LA Times:
"Her singing was dominated by a backing track. Her moves were nothing
special -- defined by much strutting and stripper-like shimmying, with the
minimum amount of acrobatics to prove her mettle as a dance-pop queen. Her
physical form, still beautiful, didn't take one's breath away the way it did
when she was 17."
People.com
"Descending from above in a red ringmaster-meets-dominatrix outfit to sing
her hit "Circus," she showed that her body was tight, even if her dancing always
wasn't. Indeed, throughout the show's four sections, there was a lot more
strutting than real choreographic feats from Spears. And there was a decided
lack of joy in her performance, which felt labored at times.
The show was all about the spectacle, with vibrant visuals, illusions,
Cirque du Soleil-inspired aerialists and an army of dancers taking some of the
focus – and the pressure – away from Spears. "
USA Today:
"Given the massive size of the center stage (painted to look like a target -
we get it, Brit) and the non-stop visual and sonic bombast, the pop princess
sometimes got swallowed up,"
They also all pretty much agreed that homie was not singing, but that's not a surprise either. In fact Britney didn't use her vocal chords at all until after her one song encore when she said, "Thank you New Orleans, I love u guys. Did y'all have a good time? Thank you so much,"
Everyone seems hopeful that Brit will get better and that if she was uneasy for this performance then it was just opening night jitters.

Her body isn't as beautiful as when she was 17????WTH! I'd like that same perv say that to his wife. She had two kids and is how old... Late 20's! Obviously she isn't go to look like she's 17 and so she shouldn't.
Ya, I thought that was a creepy thing to say. Doesn't anybody edit this guy?
Is she trying to be Madge?
Note in the 3rd thumbnail: It looks like she has a penis.
