Britney Spears Blasted By Fans After Caught Lip Syncing To Sia’s Vocals On Stage

‘Unusual You’ performer Britney Spears has been blasted by members of her fan base this week, following a technical mishap that saw her lip sync to another singer’s vocals during a performance of her single ‘Perfume.’

What went down?

Full story below…

During a performance put on at Las Vegas’ ‘Planet Hollywood‘ on a Saturday night, fans of the ‘Toxic’ singer found themselves struck with awe when the star took to the stage to perform the aforementioned ‘Perfume’, which appears on her latest LP ‘Britney Jean.’

Their problem? Her voice…which was not her own.

Unfortunately, thanks to a technical glitch she seemed to be unaware of as she performed, the vocals of Sia (the song’s writer) played out to her fans as she moved her lips to what she believed was a recording of her own voice.

How this could have happened?

‘Billboard’ explains:

If you listen closely to the performance video, you can make out some of Spears’ vocals under Sia’s more charactered voice. That’s because, most likely, Spears uses Sia’s track as a in-monitor guide when she sings. Only this time it was put into the house mix, making for an embarrassing accident.

  4. Elovian August 18, 2014

    Nothing new here, we all know Britney can’t sing. She should just retire and raise her kid’s.

  5. Cry baby August 18, 2014

    You know who else needs to be blasted for lip syncing that’s right look at my Avi ya’ll

    • GIRL BYE! August 18, 2014

      Girl bye!!!

    • LDN Chick August 18, 2014

      Beyonce even looks pretty when shes pulling ugly faces like that. Not fair.

      • Cry baby August 18, 2014

        Pretty hurts…..

  6. Proud-Arianator August 18, 2014

    How is this news?
    Anyway she’s the main princess of pop nothing will change that fact

    • Cry baby August 18, 2014

      Too bad that Mariah carey understudy could never tho

      • Proud-Arianator (My Everything 25 August 2014) August 18, 2014

        Yawn ..

    • LB (Shanene > Wanda) August 18, 2014

      Kudos to Ariana for writing one of my fav songs she’s done, best mistake, all by herself. Well she did have some help but she wrote most of it.

      • Proud-Arianator (My Everything 25 August 2014) August 18, 2014

        Most artists have help when writing some of their songs but Honestly I haven’t hear that song in full but enjoyed what I heard so far I’m waiting for the album to drop so I can enjoy it from track one up until the deluxe additional tracks won’t even pay attention to the leaks that will be flying around this week

    • Rihboy August 18, 2014

      She is the main legend in pop. Not currently!

  7. LB (Shanene > Wanda) August 18, 2014

    So what? Many artists do it, it’s a 3 hour show, you cannot expect artists to do it all, I mean

    http://youtu.be/Palw244GuL4

    • Rih Rox August 18, 2014

      LIPYONCE. Remember that billboard award thingy.
      BEYFATCE has been lipping all along its just that she was caught lipping her way through the national anthem. Now I’m not saying even rih rih doesn’t but beyFAT has lied and is a fraud.

      • Rih Rox August 18, 2014

        She claimed that she doesn’t lip and doesn’t need back track and that she can do cartwheels and sing.
        *cough cough*.

      • LB (Shanene > Wanda) August 18, 2014

        She has been lip syncing a lot, and the camera has been catching it every time. I bet she’ll lip at the VMAs too like she did at the Grammy’s.
        http://youtu.be/QNUP_ECWMQo

      • LB (Shanene > Wanda) August 18, 2014

        True, her fans claim Beyonce can do back flips whilst singing on key when she actually lip syncs and has been caught multiple times.

        And now do deflect from their now debunked claims, they point at other artists and say “but they lip sync too” forgetting their original claims.

        They are a special bunch, and not special in a good way.

      • LDN Chick August 18, 2014

        LOL! Why the hell are you two bitching? It baffles me when you stan for the bottom of the barrel performer who struggles to sing Pour It Up. Unlike Rihanna, Beyoncé is an established acclaimed performer. Rihanna lip syncs, but her fans still believe she doesn’t. And receipts for Beyoncé ever claiming that @Rih Rox

      • Rih Rox August 18, 2014

        BeyFATce said:

        “I don’t use backing tapes when I am singing and dancing on stage. I can do cartwheels and sing.”

        LOL!!!!!!!

        She didn’t need to do “CARTWHEELS” did she when faking the national anthem?

      • LB (Shanene > Wanda) August 18, 2014

        LMAO the funny thing is Kelly Clarkson sang her set live whereas superwoman who can do backflips whilst singing in key lip synced all the way through.

        That was the funniest thing I had ever seen LMAO.

      • LDN Chick August 18, 2014

        @Rih Rox Where did she say that? In what interview? Video please. Post the receipt not the quote. Posting a quote is of no use. That could have been made up by a journalist.

      • LB (Shanene > Wanda) August 18, 2014

        ““I don’t use backing tapes when I am singing and dancing on stage. I can do cartwheels and sing.”

        UHHMMMMM and Pretty Hurts was a Hot 100 #1 Bey, whatever LMAO

      • XXX August 18, 2014

        Where did you pull that from? Your backside. Beyoncé never said that. Stop lying. I bet you got that from The Sun or something.

      • XXX August 19, 2014

        Thats your source? LOL. Bye. Just like we said, made up.

    • Fran August 18, 2014

      LOL!

      • LDN Chick August 18, 2014

        DEATH^

      • Rih Rox August 18, 2014

        It’s an old qoute back in Mathew times. Lol!!!

      • Rih Rox August 18, 2014

        Go back in time.

        Mathew time even though he …I believe left around I am Or 4lop.

      • Rih Rox August 18, 2014

        By the way she also pre-appoves interview questions. My guess is it would probably take YEARS to answer. LOL!

      • Rih Rox August 18, 2014

        Digest it Allllllll!!!

      • XXX August 19, 2014

        So you still don’t have the interview she said it in? Nope. Fail. She never said that.

      • XXX August 19, 2014

        You should know how it works honey. Reliable sources provide a source. That random quote website provides nothing. They still could’ve been plucked by a fake source. I am a huge Beyonce fan and watched and read all of her interviews possible since a t***. And never heard her say any of that. In fact, she has admitted that lip syncing and using a backing track is ok. So until you can post a real link AND NOT JUST A LINK TO THE QUOTE. I advise you don’t use that again because the jokes on you!

      • Rih Rox August 19, 2014

        You just don’t believe your fave.
        She is a liar deal with it. I will however dig deep and find ridiculous statements straight out of the cows mouth. Next post on BEYELEPHANT, hang tight.

        Obviously this was at a time without social media. Don’t compare it to today’s advanced ways.

        beyFATce fams/stans will always be in denial.

        You know what? I tend to reply late due to me leading a life of….Well I don’t know it’s just too freaking much. Day uni and night work. Boooo!!! So yeah my time off I love to come here and read comments…it’s insanity that also keeps me sane.

        I …. Ummm I accidentally deleted parts,well everything. 《For get that obvious error. Any who I gotta attend to stuff. 🙂 take care. See you in beyFATce next post. IF I make it in time:\

        Sn: does anybody miss Pop Royalty? I know I do.

      • XXX August 19, 2014

        1) Why are researching Beyonce fake quotes anyway when you don’t like her(saddo) And 2) Nope. I know the type of things my fave says. You are probably one of the same ones who believe she faked her pregnancy LOL. She has before she doesn’t have a problem with backing tracks in a BET interview as long as you put on a good show and can support your vocals. This was back in Mathew days. So until you can find a proper SOURCE it is fake. If it were real, there would easily be able to get information on the interview it came from. All of them dating even back to the 90s are on the net. So i’ll shut when you can post a source on the interview it came from.

      • XXX August 19, 2014

        And social media has nothing to do with it because are sources from the 1950s you can research. All of Beyonces interviews are on the net. And that FAKE quote would endlessly be being brought up if it was real. You go to uni? You should know about referencing. So bye with that b*******. Stick to the stupid ‘beyelephant is fat’ ‘drags’ because trying to sound serious is not your forte 🙂

      • XXX August 19, 2014

        *she has said before*

      • XXX August 19, 2014

        So many typos but you get it.

  8. LDN Chick August 18, 2014

    Everyone lip syncs yes. Even MJ lip syncs. But Britneys standard of performing is not up to to par. So basic performers like her and Rihanna cannot get away with it because they do not put on a good show and cannot sing well live anyway.

    • Krista August 18, 2014

      True

  9. Rih Rox August 18, 2014

    Britney Spears clearly is being forced to work in the industry. You can see it in her eyes that she is over it.
    I’ve seen the pics and well she’s just not happy and hasn’t been for a long long time. 🙁

  10. #TeamTinashe Stan (“AQUARIUS” 10.7.14) August 18, 2014

    This is embarassing. Sing or go home, even if it’s bad.
    Fans don’t attend concerts just to see costume changes and dance poses, they come to hear LIVE vocals.
    Britney was the Millenium Queen what happened? smh…
    ,
    Anyways I am beginning to like Teyana Taylor now, she was SLAYING my LIVING life from left to right on the opening for August Alsina’s concert! WOW! She got a new stan! 🙂

      *Embarrassing *Millennium 😉

  11. Mark111m August 18, 2014

    A damn shame. Who buys her music? I can understand in 99 to 2004 when she was a performer, but she’s the Queen of Washed. I know the fans want that dancing Britney back so bad, but that Britney died a decade ago people. She will never be that performer again. Sorry.

      • Rih Rox August 18, 2014

        Yes. She was happy back then something took a turn.
        I miss the old Britney.

      • LB (Shanene > Wanda) August 18, 2014

        Yes the old Britney slayed….In the Zone and Blackout>>>>>>>

        This is still my jam
        http://youtu.be/s25OMP4Ww6Y

      • LDN Chick August 18, 2014

        Yes Britney used to slay. Rihanna has never slayed.

      • LB (Shanene > Wanda) August 18, 2014

        @Rih Rox

        And when people say Britney couldn’t sing, I always point them to this ballad where she showcased her voice, suited for certain types of songs
        http://youtu.be/8YzabSdk7ZA

    • #TeamTinashe Stan (“AQUARIUS” 10.7.14) August 18, 2014

      Yeah the dancing for her nowadays has toned down for her. Unfortunately.
      Geeezz I wish Christina was skinny like her “Dirrty” days and gave us that full package again…

  12. LDN Chick August 18, 2014

    Its a shame though because Britney used to slay. Unlike Rihanna, she had her hey day of performing when she was young. Its a shame its been shrouded by the mess that she does now. Her team need to let her live.

  13. #TeamTinashe Stan (“AQUARIUS” 10.7.14) August 18, 2014

    I don’t even care the SLAYAGE that I am getting from Sevyn Streeter, Mila J, Queen Tinashe and now Teyana Taylor. SMH at the greatness I’m being slayed left and right, right now! Good job to Janet for birthing all of them and for Aaliyah raising them.

    • Music Stan August 18, 2014

      You have me until you said the following: Queen Tinashe Aaliyah and Janet all in the same statement ummmmm nope!!!! I like Tinashe but she along with the others have more to prove right now Sooo nope Aaliyah nor Janet help out don’t curse them with that !!!!

      • #TeamTinashe Stan (CiCi Finna Stay A Flop) August 18, 2014

        All of them were influenced by those two females. Fool.

    • Music Stan August 18, 2014

      Like I’ve said peasant don’t put Aaliyah nor Janet name in the same sentence with those mediocore basic chicks!!! What a Tinashe anyways???? She isn’t a damn queen more like a dam joke just cause she has a little hit doesn’t make her slay nor a queen that ass performance on Ebt doesn’t count chix

  14. XXX August 18, 2014

    Oh no. I seriously don’t think her heart and soul is in these shows. She’s 30+ and just wants to be a mother and enjoy life. Not everyone still has fire in them at that stage. Each to their own.

  15. Revolution August 18, 2014

    The only female megastars I would ever pay good money to see live in 2014 are Janet Jackson, Tina Turner, Beyoncé or Gaga. THOSE 4 women are incredible and give you raw talent. Britney has and always has been basic. Its just got worse since she’s lost passion. Yes she has pop classics but she’s a sh!t singer and stiff dancer. I don’t why people go to her shows expecting more. Even in the early 2000s I was not impressed even as youngster.

    • Danny b August 18, 2014

      I agree she’s s*** now, but don’t discredit her early years. Watch the Dream Wition a Dream . The show alone showed how talented she was. It gave Janet Jackson teas. As well as all her vma performances. Just cuz she sucks now doesn’t mean she always did bc she didn’t.

  16. Krista August 18, 2014

    Lol. I don’t feel sorry for her. Shes not ‘forced’ to do anything. Shes not f****** s****.

  17. CherylSoldierr August 18, 2014

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with lip syncing when you’re a performer. Britney makes it way too obvious though. I think she has one more great album in her though.

  18. Stephy. August 18, 2014

    The Most Overrated Pop Star Of All Time!

    I Cannot Believe America Gave Britney Spears TWO DIAMOND selling albums.

    She only could dance (Janet Jackson’s rip offs) & serve sexiness. THATS IT! She could not write, sing, produce, compose or NOTHING else that deserved praise. She has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS lip synced. She only has like 2 good LIVE singing performances (and even those are mediocre). I honestly, think someone is making her be in entertainment. She comes off as kinda retarded tbh…

    • Dennis Spears August 18, 2014

      B**** stfu u are a hating Peice of dog turd Britney is tha greatest don’t be so jealous

      • Stephy. August 18, 2014

        Yes, she is the greatest… Lip syncer in history.

    • CherylSoldierr August 18, 2014

      She wrote every time and that slayed. She was heavily micro managed. What do you expect? Christina was too until stripped.

    • chyka August 18, 2014

      You’re jealous.
      And beyonce??? serioulsy???? Beyonce is the least compelling pop star ever. Voice, check. Looks, check. but weirdly a big ass bore!!
      Rihanna is the new queen.
      Happy 30th Katy p****!

      • Carmen August 18, 2014

        Speak for yourself.

  19. pff August 18, 2014

    Why is Beyonce always brought up? Especially by stans of an artist who can’t sing in the first place.There are far too many examples of her showcasing her vocals. Rihanna could never sing and that’s why her navy is pressed. Briitney Spears has always been basic,only a basic pop fan would say any different. There’s a reason why not even 20 years into her career she is reduced to Vegas. Beyonce>Rihanna & Britney

    • Absolved August 18, 2014

      “Why is Beyonce always brought up? Especially by stans of an artist who can’t sing in the first place.”

      Because they’re jealous of, and threatened by, her. Beyonce is more than gorgeous enough to still be successful even if she were totally talentless. But her being uber BEAUTIFUL, undeniably TALENTED and celebrated for being both is enough to trigger the rabid insecurities of people who aren’t either. That’s why these same trolls cling to subpar pop stars like Britney and Rihanna – because neither of them are going to stoke anyone’s inner doubts. If unimpressive dingbats like them can be successful, despite their VERY obvious flaws, anybody can make it. Maybe that’s what people mean when they say they find Rihanna “relatable.” Translated, it means that her being nothing special, yet oddly famous, gives them hope…

  20. Beysus August 18, 2014

    Well that’s what you get for paying to see her live….

  21. Yazmine August 18, 2014

    Rihfund stans kill me. Why the f*** are you of all the stans coming for Queen Beyonce. I don’t get it.
    And its sad that Britneys performance catalogue is made up of more bad than good. Truth be told Britneys flame ran out because she is below average at what she does. The fire always eventually burns out with those type of stars because once they’re not young and hot anymore they have nothing else to fall back on. Theres no way they will be able to slay past -say 30 to 35- like REAL performing legends can.

    • Music Stan August 18, 2014

      Ummmm you do realize that Beyoncé is in the same age bracket as Britney don’t you???? I love how you try to discredit performers who are 30+ ummmm have you heard of Janet, Tina etcetera etcetera????? Ummm uh-Kay

      • Yazmine August 18, 2014

        Death! You clearly misinterpreted what I said COMPLETLEY. I suggest you re-read and comprehend my comment properly because thats not what I was saying

      • Yazmine August 18, 2014

        Janet.. Tina… Ummmm did you not read till the end of my comment?

    • Music Stan August 18, 2014

      Umm uh Kay like I’ve said!!! Moving along

      • Yazmine August 19, 2014

        WTF. You’re the one who came sniffing in my reply talking nonsense. So fall back! You got it wrong now leave.

  22. S****** Blonde August 18, 2014

    Britney is gone, sadly.

  23. Molly August 18, 2014

    Its ok for Beyonce to lip sync but not Britney?

    • Barb B**** August 18, 2014

      Damn right. Because Beyonce actually puts on one helluva show.

  24. Molly August 18, 2014

    Anyways Britney is a icon/legend we all know she can’t sing next.

  25. Music Stan August 18, 2014

    Gurl Britney stop

  26. Barb B**** August 18, 2014

    Its one thing being a bad performer. But when you can’t even LIP SYNC well anymore you know you’re done.
    Theres nothing wrong with singing to backing tracks/lipping parts of songs if you have a lot of choreo or don’t want to strain your voice but it shouldn’t be spoiling your show because you’re so wack at it. Come on now.

  27. QUEENashe August 18, 2014

    I am dying. How and why does she have fans? She has always been average. She only had the “hot girl next door” thing going for her. Her music has always been bubblegum crap and it hasn’t aged well at all. Who still listens to her music from 15 or even a year ago? Exactly! She should just retire and enjoy her millions….

  28. Brian310 August 18, 2014

    She just doesn’t fare anymore and wants to be done with the industry so they should let her.

    • Brian310 August 18, 2014

      *care

  29. LOL August 20, 2014

    God? (Choir kicks in, organ on cue).
