Britney Spears, the Queen of Pop, is back on tour

Britney Spears' circus themed tour kicked off March 3rd in her home state of Louisiana.  This tour marks a comeback that is long over-due.  Spears has not toured since 2004 when she cut the tour short after a knee injury.  She did perform a few times here and there since then, but the performances were far from acceptable.

Putting Spears' rough last few years aside, this tour is supposedly fast-paced and upbeat.  This shows that she is definitely ready to leave the past behind.  Most of the music during the performance is from her two most recent albums, Blackout and Circus, which I'm not going to lie, are pretty amazing pop albums.  Both of them were very well produced and it's almost impossible to not dance a little when listening to them.  

Speaking of dancing, according to MTV News, Britney does a knock out job of it for this tour.  There are a plethora of back-up dancers and acrobats.  Also, to add to the visuals, Spears has numerous outfit changes throughout the four different "acts" of the show.  Unfortunately, I heard that she does very little live singing and that the vocals are mostly back tracks.  However, as long as she is dancing like a madwomen, I'll be understanding that she can't sing at the same time.  

Overall, her performance is for sure to be eye-opening and spectacular.  A writer for the Rolling Stone said, "[the show] gives fans a bit of high-flying escapism to lose themselves in."  Perhaps this is a reflection of Britney putting her past behind and moving forward.  You can read more from Rolling Stone about the tour.  

Here is the music video for the song "Circus."  It probably gives a good idea of what her live performances will be like.
