Britney Spears Manager Slams Lip-Syncing & Poor Vegas Ticket Sales Rumors

Published: Thursday 26th Sep 2013 by Rashad

Oh, Britney.

The past week has seen the pop princess reign atop headlines for all the right and wrong reasons.  First, much to fan delight, Spears re-emerged with a new single ‘Work B*tch’ – the first from her yet-titled 8th album.  Days later, news surfaced the single didn’t work to get the singer back atop charts.

Next, the ‘Toxic’ tinwoman launched a week-long promo run to share news of her 2-year Vegas residency.  Days later, conflicting reports surfaced regarding the show’s “abysmal sales”.

Well, it seems now manager Larry Rudolph has had enough of the rumors the singer would be on a 2-year “lip syncing” fest and slams reports of poor ticket sales for the event.  Giving dibs on the singer’s new album, even going so far to compare it to Madonna‘s ‘Ray of Light’, tuck in below for Rudolph’s report:

Via Billboard:

Billboard: First off, let’s clear the air about whether Britney Spears will be lip-syncing during her Las Vegas residency shows. Can you set the record straight on this subject?


Larry Rudolph: “She’s going to be singing live. She does choreography and vocal coaching every day. The vocal coaching is really just to strengthen her voice and get her to a point where she can go out there every night and do a full show.

It’s hard for the public to fully understand what goes on when you get on stage and you’re dancing full out during a song. No matter what anyone says, there’s not a single artist who goes out there and does full choreography and is singing without a vocal track underneath them at the same time. It’s physically impossible. There might be some numbers where she’s full out dancing with a (vocal) track underneath her, but there won’t be any lip-syncing across the board on anything.”

There have also been reports that ticket sales to her residency shows haven’t been selling well. So how are ticket sales so far?
“Yesterday, I got a phone call from Britney’s mom, Lynne Spears.  She was deeply concerned. I said, “Lynne, don’t worry about it, we’re dealing with it right now. Nothing could be further from the truth. ”

You have these idiot tabloid reporters who are completely irresponsible and love taking pot shots at Britney. One guy did it and everybody else picked it up. It’s based on nothing, other than an “industry insider,” who they’ll never disclose. But it’s damaging to Britney. So we had to go on the offensive and put out correct information to counteract it. When we went on sale with our pre-sale, we sold out every single VIP package for all 16 shows.”

Can you give any details about Spears’ new album — what the title is or what fans should expect it to sound like?
“We don’t have a title yet. It’s so different from anything she’s done before. Will.i.am is executive producing it. After the “Scream & Shout” exercise, which went so well, the public seems to really like Britney and Will together.

“Work Bitch” is a great example of a song that’s from this album, but I don’t know that it necessarily defines the album. There’s a ballad called “Perfume” that she recorded recently. I think everyone will be really impressed by the song. I don’t know if it will be the second or third single, but it will definitely be a single.

I really think of this as Britney’s “Ray of Light” album — it’s kind of like that in a lot of ways.”

    TMZ already spilled the tea, out of 73K tickets available, 70K have been fully sold. This is one of the most successful Vegas shows ever with more shows poised to be added.

      You are one of the most delusional homosexuals on teh website. Please have several seats.

      Britney is the epitome of a “fallen star” . “Flop B****” is flopping for the sins of her twink bottom fans and she hasn’t had a multi platinum since 2004. She will lip-sync the entire show and she wont be doing full fledge choreography.

      • miao September 27, 2013

        ^^^ This. She CAN’T sing anymore, if walking on stage is dancing, then OK. p.s. Flop B**** is trash. #cashcow

  2. NT September 26, 2013

    TMZ already reported that she’s sold 70k of 73k

    • NT September 26, 2013

      To be exact 73,600 tickets went up for sale, and 70,242 were bought

    • Gilberto September 26, 2013

      I forgot that TMZ is a reliable ticket sales tracking group. Oh, wait! They are not. They’re a gossip site. I’m pretty sure Britney’s team contacted them with their fake report sales after the low ticket sales news started to spread everywhere. Time will tell.

    • LOL September 27, 2013

      LOL FLOPNEY CAN’T SELL OUT 73K TICKETS????

      SHE BETTER FLOP B**** LMAO

    • LOL September 27, 2013

      LOL FLOPONCE LIP SYNCS JUST AS MUCH AS S******.

      SILLY STANS, PULL YOUR LIPS OFF HER ASS AND SMELL REALITY.

  3. Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

    Britney Spears has got Diamond certified albums, has sold over 100 million albums and is the most successful artist of the 21st century with a huge fan base.

    People should stop trying to bring her down and instead explain why Cher is debuting with 60K even after Kissing T***** Caca’s ass hairs.

    • Stephy Tha Lambily September 26, 2013

      She is not the most successful artist of the 21st century. That honor goes to The Beatles followed by Eminem

      • Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

        Let me re-phrase then, MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE artist of the 21st century.

      • irene46 September 26, 2013

        excooose me but i believe that honor belongs to michael jackson. eminem doesn’t come close.

    • Stephy Tha Lambily September 26, 2013

      Nope that honor was snatched by RIHANNA…

      Rihanna has sold 120 million records since 2005

      S****** Spears has sold 100 million records since 1998

      • Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

        I love Rihanna but Britney has got 2 DIAMOND albums, Rihanna does not.

      • Stephy Tha Lambily September 26, 2013

        Why have Diamond albums when she has like 20 platinum singles.. FACT ARE FACT RIHANNA IS THE BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE OF THE 21st CENTURY

      • Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

        I said MOST SUCCESSFUL not BIGGEST SELLING, there’s a difference.

        Plus Circus tour $130 million, LOUD tour $90 million.

        Britney 100 million ALBUMS sold, Rihanna 130 million RECORDS sold.

        When Rihanna gets Circus tour numbers, then she can pass Britney.

      • Stephy Tha Lambily September 26, 2013

        Rihanna has more money than S****** Spears Tho…

      • Gilberto September 26, 2013

        “Why have Diamond albums when she has like 20 platinum singles”

        Oh. My. God. You went full r*****. Never do that.

        1 x Diamond album > 100x Platinum single.

        “Rihanna has sold 120 million records since 2005

        S****** Spears has sold 100 million records since 1998 ”

        90% of Rihanna’s records sold are $1 single. On other hand, most of Britney’s sales came from albums.

        In rihtards’ head $1 single > facebook likes and twitter followers > $10 album > $100 tour ticket.

      • Stephy Tha Lambily September 26, 2013

        Rihanna still is worth more money than Spears & has more hits & is more prettier… But Britney performs better…

      • Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

        @Gilberto

        is that why Beyonce is selling her two most latest singles for $0.69 on iTunes?

      • Gilberto September 26, 2013

        @ Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13))

        “is that why Beyonce is selling her two most latest singles for $0.69 on iTunes? ”

        Singles that she released like +2 years ago? THE REACH. Let’s not forget Katy Perish sold her singles and remixes for $0.69 so they could get #1. THE DESPERATION.

      • Common Sense September 27, 2013

        Albums vs Records which is what really matters. No one gives a s*** about singles. Who’s sold more? Oh yeah Britney that’s who. She’s sold 3x as many albums as R****** with the same number of albums.

      • Queen Brit Brit September 27, 2013

        LOLOLOLOL @ Rihanna having more money than Britney!! Steph girl you’ve been on the computer too long, it has fried your brain. Check the Forbes List, Britney makes more on her off years than R****** does on her active ones. LOLOLOLOL!!! Selling 120 million records is a flop when less than 30 million come from your 7 albums. Britney’s debut outsold her career.

      • aynon September 27, 2013

        no, Britney has sold 100 million ALBUMS since 1998 and over 180 Million RECORDS,

        and Rihanna has sold around 100 million Records. as stated by the plaque she received last year.

        the inflation by the navy is hilarious.

  4. Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

    People should stop trying to sabotage Britney and instead explain why 300K FLOP even after huge Disney show.

      Do you have a thing called ‘LIFE’?

  5. Mark111 September 26, 2013

    Back in the day, we gave Brit a pass. The same pass as Janet, they danced their asses off. But in the past 5 years, Britney hasn’t been dancing at ALL and still tries to lip sync. No! Either dance your ass off or song LIVE. Her songs doesn’t even call for that great of vocals anyway.

    Beyonce is the only one that can dance and sing on key. Usher used to be great at that as well. Even Janet sings LIVE, it’s just her voice is so soft, you can’t tell. BUT she does lip her 80 classics.

    • Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

      Why have we given this one a pass when she’s been lip syncing since she started and doesn’t do anything?? I really want to know.

        she duped the American people out of the national anthem . The Marines and Navy said she was not singing live… Aretha Franklin sung live in the same cold weather for Dr. King and Obama beyonce should have sung her heart out LIVE NO EXCUSE.

    • Mark111 September 26, 2013

      Lovebird, I love you. But every artist on a main stage lipped the NA. Whitney did it, MC did it and so on. The only one who didn’t and song LIVE was Christina Ag(NoOneHasTimeForThatSpelling)a and look what happend, she made a fool of herself. Plus Bey sang alone with the track and did it LIVE at the press a week later. (Look at me saounding like a stan, lol)

      Oh, I don’t know the French Horn down there. 😉

      • _NoFucksGiven_1 September 26, 2013

        Beyonce didn’t lip sync, so you can say what you can and like Beyonce say she was singing live she song over it. So you can rap that s*** up…

      • etone September 26, 2013

        @NoFucksGiven_1

        and you know that’s not what some of the Marines said and they don’t lie.

      • irene46 September 26, 2013

        saying christina made a fool of herself is really a stretch. she sang a line wrong but she was so smooth with it those who don’t know the words themselves wouldn’t even know.

      • Stop the drama Start the music September 27, 2013

        @irene46 smooth with it? She was straining to the gods and doing too many runs…

      But she can sing though , she’s not the worlds greatest vocalist NO ; but Britney got her fame for SINGING. Then she later became a dancer

  8. Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

    People bashing Britney should first explain why this one has gotten a pass for a 20 year LIP syncing career with ZERO live performances

    http://youtu.be/MR7Z_klLqfE

    • Stephy Tha Lambily September 26, 2013

      Celine Dion has many many many many many many many LIVE performances. Stop comparing Celine to that so called icon S****** Spears

      • Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

        Lie Detected.

        And I’m not comparing her to Britney, I am looking for an explanation as to why people have given Celine Dion a pass for LIP syncing close to 100% of her live performances throughout ALL her career and yet want to play the Jury on Britney Spears.

        When they explain that then maybe their complaints on Britney can bear merit.

      • Stop the drama Start the music September 27, 2013

        Why have they given her a pass?? Cuz she’s a real singer. That’s why….same reason they give MC a pass….

      • Lovebird (PRISM – 10.22.13)) September 26, 2013

        Sounds like Glorified Karaoke to me. Sure she has a good voice but everything else is bland.

        She should stick to lip syncing which is what she has done all throughout the 90s till date.

        Oh wait, you’ve conveniently left out the “live” performances from the 90s till date.

      • Stephy Tha Lambily September 26, 2013

        You f****** idiot! I put up all her live performances that I could find. I went to see Celine in 2004 & in 2011.. She sung completely LIVE. I saw it with my own eyes in the room with her… She even breath & talk too us while singing… If you dont believe thos vidoes are live then there is no getting thru to you. Its like talking to a crazy religious person!!! It get nowhere….

    • etone September 26, 2013

      I just asked a simple question if you can’t answer DUMB ASS then move on.

      they all can sing.

      Why is it that beyonce never wears a headset while she is dancing and singing
      While other pros Janet, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown, J-lo, Ciara all wear them
      she never wears a head-set.

      the hand mic is a prop for the LIP SYNC SHOW.

      • etone September 26, 2013

        so bobby brown can’t sing ?
        Michael Jackson cant sing ?
        Usher can’t sing?

        but beyonce is the only one who can sing??

        so she don’t need to wear a headset while she is dancing heavy and singing like the other pros who tour the world bcuz beyonce is the only one who can sing and dance ?

    • Gilberto September 26, 2013

      “Why does all the professional dancers/singers from
      MJ, Janet, Chris Brown, Ciara, Bobby Brown, J-lo, Brittany Spears all dance & sing while wearing a headset.”

      Because none of them are vocalist AND lip synced a lot.

      • Stop the drama Start the music September 27, 2013

        Umm excuse MJ was a vocalist and quite good singer. Don’t get it twisted. MJ was from the 90’s where wearing headsets was common.

    • Bey Fan September 27, 2013

      Ummmm Because she practices with a mic. I dont get the point of the question because CLEARLY Janet and Chris Brown we know lip sync. And there are plenty of artist (Tina Turner for one) who danced their ass off and didn’t wear a head set.

      It’s more of preference Im sure.

      • etone September 27, 2013

        To say she lip sync all the time is a f****** lie. Hell she use to f*** up the words all the time.

    No matter what anyone says, there’s not a single artist who goes out there and does full choreography and is singing without a vocal track underneath them at the same time. It’s physically impossible.

    That goes to any Beyonce fan.

    • jay scorpio September 27, 2013

    • Stop the drama Start the music September 27, 2013

      Beyonce ad libs while singing tho so of course there is a backtrack with choreography…

      • Maestro J* September 27, 2013

        Its call a PRE-RECORDED LIVE VOCAL. What they’ll do is prior to the concert they’ll do a rehersal where they are singing live and giving it they’re 100% and within that rehersal a track is cut of the singers live vocals, just in case of illness fatigue or other unforseen circumstances, adlibs are of course added because its a ‘live vocal’ just prerecorded. Michael Jackson was imfamous for this, and I am A MJ STAN (Hince My damn screen name) however. This doesnt take away from the singers ability to do just that, it again just mean, THEY’RE HUMAN LIKE THE REST OF US.
        I wanna see some of these critics go on tour for 1yr and half and sing every other night or every night without getting sick, tired, a soar throat, or worse. #IJS people are so judgemental regarding s*** THEY CANT DO

        And as far as the rest of the ABC b****** please lets keep them out of this conversation

    Anybody notice how Beyonce’s reaction and the fact her lips stopped moving when she got pulled off the stage didnt stop her flawless vocal…#shade
    Hepha was lipsyncin entire time… BUT its okay because shes Beyonce and she DOESNT have to lipsync but the fact is ALL SINGER/DANCERS Do it from time to time. Whether its the routine, or the fact theyve done 300000000 shows and could be tired, anything can cause them to be like ‘TONIGHT WE GON LIP THAT ONE Y’ALL’ damn these people are not robots, they get sick, they catch colds, they’re tired, just like the rest of us humans. So please lets give this coversation a rest. Its just a part of being an entertainer… I’D RATHER CI-ERROR LIPSYNC her live shows but she just continues to believe shes Whitney Houston in her head so I let her keep embarrassing herself.

      Her vocals did stop when she got pulled off though. Just like half way through when she said ‘HEY HEY!’ to the security when they were escorting the guy out.
