Tour Director: Jamie King
Jamie has worked with Britney in the past, as director and co-choreographer for her 'Oops, I Did It Again' tour back in 2000 and also on the 'Stronger' music video. Jamie was also director and choreographer of Brit's American Music Awards performance in 2001 and the infamous Britney/Madonna/Christina 'The Kiss' performance at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. Considering Jamie also directed five of Madonna's tours, including last year's 'Sticky And Sweet Tour,' I think it's safe to say that this tour is going to be hot! Check out the video below to see Jamie's previous tours resume and visit his website for more info. Musical Director: Simon Ellis Simon Ellis is the musical director of Britney's upcoming tour. A Brit himself, Simon has worked with legendary British artists including The Spice Girls, S Club 7, Steps, Hearsay and East 17. Most recently, Simon directed the Spice Girls' 2008 reunion tour, which Simon Fuller, creator of American Idol and Pop Idol, described as "genius. Contributing Choreographer: JaQuel Knight JaQuel Knight has joined the tour team as contributing choreographer! Why am I so excited, you ask? Because JaQuel choregraphed Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' music video! Talk about genius moves. Contributing Choreographer: Tony Testa Tony Testa is also joining the tour as contributing choreographer. Tony Testa worked with Britney on her recent 'Circus' promo tour in Japan, so we've already gotten a taste of what he can do. Tony has also worked with artists such as Beyonce, Janet Jackson, and Danity Kane. You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

I find it intersting that most of the songs are not known to the general public. She had hardly any hits everyone knows. I mean, my parents have heard of Hung Up but do they know Womanizer? | |

Toxic Slave Piece of Me Baby One More Time are all widely known... Piece Of Me is another one of that awful sounds without a memorable melody. Okay, I'll stay out. It's official: I dislike Shitney and her "music". I'm gonna listening to some Stevie instead okay? | |

Just wondering why you'd come into the thread of someone you don't like, proceed to presume something that you know nothing about because you don't listen to her and therefore wouldn't know what her "hits" even are, then when called out on it, chuck a hissy fit when really, you shouldn't have even been in here in the first place? | |

OMG this looks awesome! I have to say that I thought it was going to be a bit lame but from the clips in the top film it looks incredible.
Here's hoping it's a huge success. She's performing in the 02 in London on my birthday and I have been holding off getting tix as I wasn't all that sure she would make it that far but now I am not so sure! I may just have to go for it!! Thanks for showing that. Have you had your + signs today? | |

Yeah the set list is aiight I guess, but alot of the tunes on Circus and Blackout..while her best efforts to date....lack memorable hooks and melodies...but they are just musically interesting. I mean tunes like Blur, Radar, Why Should I Be Sad, Lace and Leather, and Hot As Ice stand out but the others leave some to be desired. Straight Jacket Funk Affair

Well they aint no Control or even Nelly Furtado's Loose. I just find they have good beats and stuff..but songwriting could have helped. Straight Jacket Funk Affair

I mean she didn't really start to have decent albums until Britney, and even then a lot of stuff was pure filler. But, no, they aren't on the level of Control (what is today?) or Loose.

But she still dont have thee album. I thought Madonna didnt hit it for me until Hard Candy..the album is flawless to me with the exception of two songs. Britney I still have to skip..despite the production. There's nothing wrong with the production..its the people who wrote it (and half the time it's the producers who shouldnt be writing nothing in the first place unless they know what they are doing). I dont think Circus, Gimme More, Piece Of Me or Womanizer are as good as You Drive Me Crazy, Sometimes, Im A Slave 4 U or Stronger imo. You see...better producers, bad songwriters.

I think Hard Candy is a dire, lifeless album that sounds like it was written by an out of touch matron desperately clinging to some shred of coolness. So it's clear we have opposite tastes 
I mean, you want to talk about bad songwriting - just go read the lyrics for 4 Minutes! [Edited 3/3/09 8:09am] | |

The choruses are memorable (more than Confessions), and it flowed blissfully. imo. Britney I feel like..almost all the songs sound the same. I almost can't tell the difference between Circus and Blackout. If Madonna made some mess like Gimme More or Piece of Me (she did with Hollywood and the whole AMerican Life album) I would have boycotted her again. Just look at the lyrics to If You Seek Amy  I mean...what is that supposed to mean IN THE SONG? I mean...I mean really? Seriously?Straight Jacket Funk Affair

I thought it was a complete turd. For the first time she sounded like she was going through the motions and actually behind the times with respect to her choice of producers and collaborators. Stale ass shit and terrible songwriting (I'm not really sure how you can fault Britney for her lyrics and then defend Madonna's album on the same merit). Britney I feel like..almost all the songs sound the same. I almost can't tell the difference between Circus and Blackout.
Fair enough - I have no problem doing so. If Madonna made some mess like Gimme More or Piece of Me (she did with Hollywood and the whole AMerican Life album) I would have boycotted her again. Instead she made some mess like Voices and Spanish Lesson. Then she recycled What Goes Around Comes Around, extended a few songs to over 6 minutes for no valid reason, sung over the typical Timbaland beat... At least Gimme More and Piece of Me, whatever you may think of them, are listenable.
Gimme More is a hot ass fucking jam. Have you seen people react to that in the clubs? That's what people want out of it and that's what people got. It's not supposed to be deep - it's sexy pop music.
Just look at the lyrics to If You Seek Amy I mean...what is that supposed to mean IN THE SONG? I mean...I mean really? Seriously?It's supposed to be ludicrous and cheeky. Please tell me how the lyrics to 4 Minutes make any sense, either? At least Britney is smart enough to not take herself seriously. [Edited 3/3/09 8:28am] | |

Stale ass shit and terrible songwriting (I'm not really sure how you can fault Britney for her lyrics and then defend Madonna's album on the same merit). I thought it was her most enjoyable and fun record I have ever heard. And yes..Voices wasnt the best tune and so wasnt Devil Wouldnt Recognize you but I would take it over Soda Pop and Everytime in the quickness!  And I think the album is just a plain ol fun funk pop record. The lyrics on 4 Minutes are nothing more than a revamp of 1999's lyrics. Its about having fun before the world ends.
At least Gimme More and Piece of Me, whatever you may think of them, are listenable.
 I just cant get with Gimme More..its horrid! its just a mess! The video, the song, the lame street hooker chorus....I mean who came up with that mess? Danja? He could have done better and there were better tunes like Radar and Heaven On Earth to pick.

Chile again, no. Its not fun...Janet's album is sexy pop music too, but at least I can remember it and its sounds half decent.
It's supposed to be ludicrous and cheeky. Please tell me how the lyrics to 4 Minutes make any sense, either? At least Britney is smart enough to not take herself seriously. Hell who does take her seriously? She couldnt even write her own biographical song about Kevin (Why Should I Be Sad).[Edited 3/3/09 8:28am] Straight Jacket Funk Affair

Llllllawd how anyone could think Hard Candy is her best record is totally beyond me. That's all I'm gonna say on that.
And yes there is something to be said for knowing what you are and respecting your limitations as an artist. Britney has never tried to be what she isn't. | |

I think you're misunderstanding - I was clearly stating that Britney's not really an artist. That doesn't mean her music isn't fun for what it is, though. [Edited 3/3/09 14:43pm] | |

Thank God she's on meds.
I feel bad though, because although I've grown to respect her performance skills (not her singing) I feel she hasnt evovled as an artist. Sure the song lyrics have changed and the music is much better, but I somehow expect more from her. 
And she still seems super jaded to me. Like, the love of it is gone.  &  | |

It's official — at 9:28PM on March 3, 2009, Britney Spears completed one of the biggest career turnarounds in music history by triumphantly taking the stage at the New Orleans Arena to kick off her first real concert tour in almost half a decade.
With the crowd roaring and cheering her on, Britney, in full ringmaster regalia, descended from the arena's ceiling and onto the middle of the stage to perform the title track of her current hit album, Circus. Local gal Britney, who grew up only 50 miles away in Kentwood, La., felt the love of the crowd as the eclectic mix of young women, their boyfriends, young boys and girls and all of their parents, gave the hometown performer the opening night reception she was looking for. Britney fan Robin McMahon, 24, of New Orleans said to OK!, "I came tonight to show support for Britney in her home state." And like a lot of Brit's fans, the singer's headline-making troubles of early 2008 didn't deter Robin. "Everyone has their ups and downs. Hers are magnified because she's a superstar." "She pulled herself together and I want to support her," Allie Bacque, 20, of Lafayette, La., told OK! before the show. And while Britney's once scandalous behaviour has given some parents reason to doubt her stance as a role model, that's not the case for 10-year-old Jonathan Tabora, whose folks, Ricardo and Alexandria, said they never thought twice about taking their son to the concert. "We all make mistakes, we're all human," Ricardo explained to OK!. "All three of us are fans." source: okmagazine.com | |
