Music Didn’t Matter In Britney Spears Show

Shane Harrison of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reviewed the Britney Spears HBO special last night and wasn’t impressed with the dream-themed Las Vegas spectacle. Harrison says, “What about the music? It hardly seemed to be the point. With a new, more mature album topping the album charts, Spears could have upped the musical ante in concert. Instead, the music felt secondary and canned, and though it was never less than immaculately performed, it never generated its own excitement. The songs were there in service to the spectacle.”
