I have always had a love of Britney Spears. From the moment that Britney and Justin sang I'll Take You There, I've been rooting for my girl. Throughout the Jason Alexanders and the K-Feds, the head shaving, umbrella waving and the gum-snapping interview with Matt Lauer, Britney has been my girl. When she made her not so great comeback performance at the 2007 VMAs, I cringed like I knew her. Maybe it's because Britney and I are almost exactly the same age, or maybe it's because she has at times seemed so vulnerable, but I have always rooted for her.
I was very excited to find out Britney was coming to Charlotte. As a recently converted fan of The Jersey Shore, I was also excited (and confused) to find out that DJ Pauly D was opening for Brit. I went with one of my friends from work, Micah and her boyfriend Derek, who is a Britney SUPER FAN.
Pauly D. Sigh. I love Paul D. Yeah, buddy I do! And I do think he is a talented DJ. I just don't really get sitting in a huge arena and watching him DJ for about 45 minutes. Although, as Micah said, it was fun to have the experience of fist pumping with Pauly D! Pauly D's music choices were awesome and we had fun dancing and fist pumping, but it just felt like a giant club without really much to do.
Then it was Britney time! Britney came busting out to Hold it Against Me. Despite some oddly cruel reviews in The Charlotte Observer, Britney looked great. The show incorporated the Femme Fatale theme with a series of videos of Britney being a total badass. She had crazy costumes that included a gypsy costume and a skintight body suit.
In what I hope is not a shocking turn of events, Britney did a lot of lip-syncing. That's what I expected, but it was still a great show. I am so glad I got the opportunity to see her. I think my readers will be glad to know that I danced. I couldn't help it! That was some dance-worthy music. The best show of the night, however, came from another audience member. I had to record his magical dance moves to share here.
