I'd be embarrassed to stan for Britney Spears in 2012 honestly. She's become a completely useless performer, and there are endless Britney drag impersonators who can put on a better show (and play the part better) than she can right now. And considering the fact that most of her show involves her stepping on stage, pressing play, and then walking from point A to point B while alternatingly lifting her arms, she's already the performing equivelant of a low-tier drag queen.
It's too bad that most Britney stans settle for being her apologists rather than holding her and her team accountable for this last tour. If you had fun at those concerts then more power to you, and I'll take your word for it. There's obviously a lot of entertainment to be had at the Femme Fatale tour as a Britney fan... but it's obscene that most stans in this thread would rather resort to pointing at sales figures and an "it's good enough" mentality than actually showing concern for someone who has evidently touched their lives so profoundly, lol. If you're content, and Britney's content (she seems to be I guess, it's hard to tell from the empty eyes), then that's fine. But I can't take any of it seriously.
That Femme Fatale tour is everything that's wrong with pop music and pop culture. A high profile celebrity charges $100+ per ticket to watch her lipsync through her old hits (and some new ones), and people there enjoy it just because a famous person is on the stage. It's not because said famous person is doing something brilliant, great, or even just good. She's made money off of millions of people from just her name. Until she starts earning that money through something profound, I'm not checking for Miss Spears.
