‘Singing Was Never Really The Point’ At Britney Concert

Jim Farber of The New York Daily News was at Wednesday’s Britney Spears concert at the Nassau Coliseum and admitted of the heavy taped backing of the gig, “Singing was never really the point. More relevant was hitting all the marks and looking pretty in whatever costume she turned up in next.” As for her setlist, Farber added, “The songs served as her accessories. She modeled them like handbags you sport and quickly discard.” In summing up Spears, Farber made the comparison that “Britney becomes the world’s life-size Barbie: gorgeous, bendable and plastic.”
