Britney Spears: Live from Las Vegas (2001)

Too much of everything

Let's be realistic.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This concert was the best I have ever seen, she truly dazzles the Las Vegas audience and the rest of the world with 90minutes of chart topping hits like Oops!...I Did It Again to Overprotected to the raunchy I'm A Slave 4 U. The opening is unmissable with an astonishing performance of Oops!...I Did It Again and the finale is just as good with a re-mix of Baby One More Time and Britney looks stunning while performing Lucky in the united states coat. This concert is truly unmissable. worth buying the DVD!!! List of tracks used from album Baby...One More Time: Baby...One More Time (Re-mix), (You Drive Me) Crazy, Born To Make You Happy, Sometimes. from album Oops!...I Did It Again: Oops!...I Did It Again, Lucky, Stronger, Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know. from album Britney: Overprotected, I'm A Slave 4 U, Boys, I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman, I Love Rock 'N' Roll, What It's Like To Be Me, Lonely, Anticipating.Never before has Britney performed so well and with so much energy. Britney gives it her all in this concert from bungee jumping to playing a jewellery box ballerina, Britney is a one-woman explosion of talent. Also included on the DVD are video's for I'm A Slave 4 U, Overprotected, and I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman plus the US trailer for Crossroads.

She always lip-synchs everything except for the ballads when she just sits or doesn't move. The rest is not live singing, and it was totally obvious in this 'concert.' People defend her by saying it's hard to sing and dance at the same time, but plenty of other artists do it. And it's not like she's a great singer either. I guess you'll like this concert if you're a fan though.

HBO Concerst are here to stay and Britney's concert is no exception..after watching Madonna's latest snoozer..this was a welcome change...what plays well onstage and in large arenas may not play well on TV...It was obvious Britney lip synched to about 90% of the show..her robotic choreography and dialogue with the crowd seemed very earnest..in fact most of the dance moves were straight from her video so you were not seeing anything new..and you never got the impression she was completely comfortable onstage. Jon Voight makes an appearance and adds the quintessential "cheese' element into the show that we can all expect from Britney. The rain shower scene was unnecessary and it appeared to be a feeble shot at turning Britney into some sensual sex machine.. ..all this talk about maturity..but her sound is still loaded with confectionary sugar. never put the cart before the horse. ....the show is entertaining..but if you are not a die hard Britney fan..I doubt it will hold your attention...

Our favorite blond, nubile, performing sex symbol brings together all the many and disparate elements of her considerable repertoire into the definitive and ultimate Britney Show. And what a statement she makes!!! She sings, dances, prances, smiles, pouts, cries, flies (yes, flies!), takes a shower!!!, and treats us to a patented Britney Spears Fashion Show as only she can do it. And all done in the big-arena, state-of-the-art, exploding, smoke-filled environment of Las Vegas glitz. One gets the distinct feeling that this show represents a watershed moment, a compendium of all that is Britney to this point, a statement of virtuosity in which one can almost see her in a mortarboard and gown, proud to receive her degree and ready to proceed on to postgraduate work. She's absolutely done it all at this level. The movies are next and one just knows absolutely that she's going to knock us all dead at that level, too! A great, great show!!! She did it again. Hail, Britney!
