Britney Spears Embarking on First Australian Tour

Posted: 10 Jun 2009 09:48 AM PDT

Britney Spears has been riding high on her very successful "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" tour and, right after confirming that she will be traveling through North America one more time, Billboard is reporting that the singer will be heading to Australia for the firs time in her career.  “I’ve wanted to tour Australia for quite some time and now it’s finally happening,” Spears said.

So far, six dates have been announced starting with a performance at Perth's Burswood Dome on November 6, 2009 and ending on November 24, 2009 at Brisbane's Entertainment Centre.  She has also planned stops at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena and Sydney Acer Arena.

Even though she came to my area, I couldn't being myself to actually see the $50 million stage production including almost 50 dancers, magicians, clowns and acrobats.  Yes, that does sound amazing (and amazingly over-the-top) but I also don't want to pay $100 to see someone lip-synch.  Don't get me wrong, I realize what she's been through and I am so happy to see her career on the upswing but this just feels like faking a comeback, in some ways, doesn't it?

While I'm on the subject, who put this show together?  Is it spectacular?  I'm sure it is but anyone who has worked in the industry will know that this much dancing is not going to make singing a possibility unless you are in great shape and have built up the vocal stamina.

Amazingly, the fans don't seem to mind because her ticket sales are through the roof.
