Britney Spears Live: The Femme Fatale Tour

Recently, I saw "Britney Spears Live: The Femme Fatale Tour" on Epix and I have got to say, the movie was alright. Having already seen the concert in person and through numerous clips on YouTube, I appreciate the fact that a company and Britney's team paid to have the concert documented. However, Epix chose a couple of weird angles, that sometimes became irritating. During some numbers such as "Hold It Against Me," Epix chose to have audience shots whilst Britney was doing less-than-stellar moves. During the only dance-break in "Big Fat Bass," Epix chose to show "Will.i.am" instead of Britney who killed the moves during that show. Things like this have upset Britney's ever-growing fan base.
But the one thing that "urks" most viewers, is the obvious dubbing of audio. The fan's cries and cheers have been silenced out (only heard during moments that are meant to have excessive cheers e.g. pyrotechnics, dance breaks).
Britney's vocals from the live show have also been removed and have been replaced with studio tracks (this has cause an uproar, even though this isn't the first time Brit's camp has dubbed her vocals during DVD specials).

For a concert event, EPIX has captured all that is necessary to make this DVD Britney-fied. I truly recommend it to all, even if you're not a Britney fan. The songs and endless excitement will have you dancing on you feet.

The Princess is back.
