My personall oppinion is she should be touring, its good for her, she makes some dosh whcih she really really needs, she gets to see her kids nearly 50/50 now and shes also regaining confidence. But i just dont think shes back to what she was and i dont expect her to be but it is not the same, and im sure it is fantastic but her stage presence just isnt what it was and im sure it will be eventually so im really really really excited

I don't want to get my hopes up for there to be a new song and there not be. New song or not, in 3 days I will see Britney something I've been waiting to do since I was 9 years old!

To those going to the Manchester,Dublin dates;

I'm not sure whether Ciara is going to be support act because she twittered this morning that she was on her way to the airport and said to someone who asked where she was going that she was going back home to Atlanta and then LA

I guess that means you guys get a different support act unless she returns by wednesday.

So I went last night and here's what I thought.

Ciara; she was brilliant, really got the crowd going. She sounded great too and spoke to the crowd for a few minutes and was just really lovely. By the time she had finished the place was nearly full but not completely.

Apple Circus; The buzz/energy Ciara had given was completely gone again by the time these got on the stage. It was fun for about 10 minutes but I got bored of the tricks after a while, the girl doing flips on the plank was good the first few times but she did about 10 flips all of which looked the same. It went on a bit too but thankfully Britney came on pretty much straight after; which is probably a good thing seeing as chants of 'BRITNEYBRITNEYBRITNEY' were getting loud at this point.

Britney; so the intro video started and was quite funny and deffinitely set the scene. When she came on EVERYONE I could see was on their feet dancing away and she was totally rocking the stage. Plenty of sas, attitude and her dancing seemed on point from what I could see. The set was absolutely brilliant, like 'WOW'-worthy. You could look anywhere on the stage (not that you would look away from Britney) and could see something going on. After 'Get Naked' and she does those two In The Zone album tracks the energy really died down, people even walked out (probably for wee or food) but it really killed the momentum and I would have replaced those 2 songs in the show with songs more people know personally. Then there was a MASSIVE wait for Do Somethin' which killled things a bit more, thankfully Do Somethin' got everyone back up on their feet and she put on another brilliant performance.

The negatives were her crowd interraction was APPALLING, she spoke to us I think twice, once before Every Time and then again at the end to say 'thanks' and $h!t. Her miming, I knew it was going to happen so I'm not gonna slate her for it too much because that would be silly, but to mime the talking-counting-bit?! Silly.

Overall I had a brilliant night and my mate really enjoyed herself too. Would deffinitely go again!

Good review, her interaction even thiyg it Is minimal I think it's still good, I think by her next tour she will be back to the britney we know I.e will have more confidence I mean I think her confidence is so low but that's due to her past who can blame her.

Overall though the show is awsome.

I wonder if there is a support act for tomorrow then? I hope we get someone, I rang Ticketmaster and they confirmed it wouldn't be Ciara but didn't say if anyone else would be supporting.

Yeah she had a few big big guys round her, one of them had her eldest son and it was nice because you could tell he felt safe with him and that they got on well, very nice to see and no one seemed to bother them and let them get on with there day

Nah, this tour IMO is her best not as great as onyx hotel 'mainly due to lack of interaction with the crowd' BUT the show and britney are just amazing.

Her DWAD tour was great but very bubble gun pop onthia tour it's really grown up and sexual.

LOVED IT! Got back before, it was AMAZING.

She said Manchester twice and then said what's up London, so that's either on the backing track or she made a mistake. But at least she got it right 2/3 times.

Everytime was AMAZING.

The programme is amazing.

Britney is amazing.

The whole thing was amazing.

LOVED IT!!

Just got back. It was brilliant, I didn't realise how much dancing she actually does until tonight. The What's up London bit was hilarious, I think when she got changed for Toxic/BOMT one of her staff must of said It's not London because on Womanizer she mentioned Manchester.

I really had a great night tonight and hopefully she adds another leg over here.

Highlights for me was Everytime, Radar and Amy but they was all brilliant. I had never watched the Sweet Dreams video of her before but it was really nice and she looked extra beautiful on it.

I reckon the "wassup london" in Do Something is part of the remixed backing track, she says it at the same point in the same voice every performance, and it doesn't make sense to turn her mike on for like 5 seconds, and then turn it off again.

Manchester - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ghMh...layer_embedded

London - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXVfCugmmkg

Oh well who cares, she's incredible and I had an amazing night
