Britney Spears' 15 Minutes of Lame
()
While it's debatable whether or not $49 is worth anything these days, three hours of your time is certainly worth something.
Britney Spears lipsynced her way through five songs yesterday at the San Diego House of Blues, a total of 15 minutes of "entertainment" after making her fans stand through three hours of records being spun by dee jays.
Deciding on the brown wig, with a pink bikini top, jean skirt and white go-go boots, even the ridiculously short set seemed to win over her fans. X-17 has a tiny bit of video and some blurry pics and said this:
Support for LAist comes from
Here's the deal -- 15 minutes, four songs, four dancers, 1000 people. Dancers took the stage first and then Ms. Spears entered, fans went wild, Britney didn't address the crowd, but stuck to performing. General audience concensus was that she killed it, she rocked, she f*#ked up the joint, she owned it, she won it, she was hot!
Tonight Brit will do her thing at the Anaheim House of Blues and tomorrow she tries to pull that shit at the HOB on Sunset. Tickets for both shows are sold out but are being sold for hundreds on eBay.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
