Femme Fatale, Britney Spears

Album Cover

Last Saturday (08/20/2011) we were at a Britney Spears concert. It was really exciting and fun! First of all it was our first concert experience in U.S. so we didn't know what to expect. However, the concert turned out to be a great show. I can't lie, Britney Spears mostly lip-synched her songs and having gone to an Evanescene concert before we were a little disappointed about that. Amy Lee sang about 10 songs in Istanbul Kurucesme Arena on June 24, 2007 and her voice was to die for. I know that you cannot compare Amy Lee and Britney Spears because Amy Lee does not dance on stage and she only sang about 10 songs while Britney Spears sang 22 songs, so Britney had 12 more songs on her tour set list.

Britney put a great show though, you didn't want to miss anything that was going on stage :). There were lights everywhere, cars and ships were brought on the stage and there were many great dancers. After her last song, Britney brought Sean Preston, her oldest son, on stage and he waved us goodbye. Sean Preston was really sweet, he looked a little overwhelmed by the crowd :).

Before Britney came on stage, Destinee&Paris and DJ Pauly D performed for us. I don't want to be cruel but Destinee&Paris were pretty bad, I think it was due to the sound system though. You couldn't hear the words of the songs they were singing and it just seemed like they were making a noise. The crowd at Nationwide Arena went crazy when DJ Pauly D came on stage. We had no idea what was going on until I remembered where I had seen DJ Pauly D before. I haven't watched an episode of Jersey Shore but I have seen its posters so I put 2 and 2 together and realized that DJ Pauly D was a cast member of Jersey Shore. To be honest I didn't think DJ Pauly D was all that special. We were a little bored with both Destinee&Paris and DJ Pauly D.

We originally bought our tickets for $32.50 and we were supposed to watch the concert from the very back but luckily there were seats available in the front and they changed our seats. We were upgraded to seats that cost about $70. We also found out that we could've bought cheaper tickets from Groupon but since we were upgraded we were able to get the same deal that was offered by Groupon.

We were really happy with our first concert experience in America. I want to give you some information about Britney Spears' Femme Fatale tour. There are only two more dates left in the North American tour. Britney will be performing in Raleigh, NC on August 24 and her North American tour ends in Charlotte, NC on August 25. North Carolina still has a chance to see the concert  :). I really doubt they will be out of tickets.
