Britney Spears: Live from Miami (2004)

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

First off, let me say Britney is no Madonna, i saw the Blonde Ambition tour and the girlie show in fact, all of Madonna's shows and Britney looks to be taking a few cues from Madonna herself. The masturbation scene on the beds was a direct copy of Like A Virgin, the bathrobes? taken from Material Girl. as for her singing, Ms Britney didn't. it appeared she sang one song but that was just wishful thinking, the lip syncing was bad,i understand lip synching but at least try to sing along. the show itself was eye candy, well produced, the sets were very nice and the costumes and dances were top notch, however, when one has a mediocre talent, one needs pomp and circumstance. Yes, Madonna has been known to lip sych ch but 90% of her shows she sings live and guess what? Madonna cant sing either but she still makes the attempt. overall its a good show for the visuals, oh, and that fat drag queen? bad decision. he ruined the show (i assume she was trying for a the clown Madonna used in the girlie show, which also was a bad decision) in my opinion one should see the blonde ambition or the girlie show and then watch Britney and you'll see what I'm talking about. now, comparisons aside, Britney had a strong array of songs at her desposal and the way she (her manager, tour director) brings the songs to life in a nice way. she is trying to give you a great show and manages to get the, as i've said before, the visuals and dances down (nothing inventive here though, standard routines etc). The tour itself was a huge project for her and it didn't sell out a lof of shows, in fact, by the time she was in her second week of touring, a lot of her shows weren't even close to filling to capacity and as a result, slashed some performances and tighted the show up, when this proved fruitless, she injured her knee and canceled the tour (odd how she was up and running less than 3 weeks later, some knee injury) If Britney is smart, (which she hasn't proved to be yet) she will retire for a bit and hopefully the audiences hearts will grow fonder.

First and for most I must say that Britney Spears: Live From Miami was the most awesome concert i've ever watched on TV. What makes it even better was I got to take part in it and see her in concert later that year. This concert shows some of the most hardest dance moves i've personally ever seen, and her music is great, and her being up there performing was just mind boggling. I couldn't help but take my eyes off of her for even a second. Below is a list of some of the songs that were performed that evening. P.S. The special effects were awesome! Toxic-Best Dance song of them all! She really had everyone going when she performed this. Not only that but she looked amazing in the black cat suite and blue cape she was wearing.Shadow-My personal favorite performance of the evening.The outfit Britney choose for this song was what i'd have to say the most beautiful dress i've ever seen. It was just beautiful how she hanged up in the air on that swing!Props to Britney for going all the way up in the air and not being afraid of heights.Me Against The Music(The Remix)- Being Britney's first single, Featuring Madonna, from her multi platinum album, In The Zone(that has sold over 9million copies so far)was the grand finale and this song got the biggest applause i've ever heard.Britney had one a red spandex suite as well as a little hat tilted to the side and she looked hot! We were all really pumped for this one.Every time-Personally this is my favorite Britney Spears song of all time! To sit their and hear her sing it, and play it on the piano, was well worth the $75.00 to go see her. This performance was beautiful.Breathe On Me- Wow what can I say....This performance was...very...HOTT! Seeing Britney up close and in lingerie and on a bed seducing a man was probably all the little boys dreams come true.Something else that might catch ones interest was when Britney open mouth kisses the man whom shes seducing. After this performance I think she made a lot of little boys, men! Showdown-I was disappointed with this performance honestly. It's an awesome song but she didn't really seem into it as much as the other songs. But all is forgiven when at the end of the performance Britney jokes "Are you feeling lucky boys? I might just marry you." Pooking fun of her Las Vegas nuptials that was later annulled that only lasted a whopping 55hours! Outrageous-Britney definitely brings a new meaning to the word "Outrageous" when she walks out in a trench coat and lingerie, dressing for the song's steamy lyrics "We all over here, up in the World Premiere, TRENCH COAT AND MY UNDERWEAR, let's go with this freak show it's Outrageous." Crazy(You Drive Me)- Britney performed this song and she was a trooper as she did it! Adding an updated version to the song with new heart stooping beats and funky vocals, Britney get's a definite 2 thumbs up for this performance, as well as many others.Overprotected- Also another one of my favorite performances of the night. An updated theme of the hit "Overprotected" had everyone singing at the top of there lungs and dancing! It was also very neat when Britney performed this song on top of what looks like it could be a Hotel suitcase holder.Baby...One More Time-While performing her first hit, "Baby...One More Time", Britney had the stage set up to look as if it was a Caberea Club. And giving it a little bit of 50's style in the vocals, Britney also wore a cute little, pink, outfit, that matched the performance as well.Oops!...I Did It Again- Being Britney's biggest hit to date, "Oops!...I Did It Again",was given a new twist and had an Africian sound to the song. She sure likes to change things up a bit! Boys-Britney seemed to enjoy this song as well as she performed it! Britney wore a black catsuit while she performed this song and danced her butt off while she did it! I'm A Slave 4 U- A huge Britney dance hit, Britney took the dress off of what she wore while she was performing Every time and had a little jungle theme going on which meshed with her vocals and the song very well.Boom Boom(I Got That)- This is one of my all time favorite Britney tunes! Britney wore Navy Blue cargo pants and a ripped one piece swimsuit underneath that was pink.(which showed)Britney looked as if she really enjoyed herself as she performed this song, the audience did as well.Despite the mixed reviews that this concert got,it still was truly amazing and what in my opinion I would have to say would be a PG-13 rated concert. But really only because of one song. (Breathe On Me)Remember to get Britney's latest album, Greatest Hits: My Perogative which is in stores now! REQUEST BRITNEY'S LATEST SIGLE, SOMEDAY (I WILL UNDERSTAND) ON THE RADIOS NOW! -Aaron

First, the good: I REALLY liked the idea of the "Onyx Hotel" theme. The costumes were awesome, the sets were amazing. I love the dancing for "The Hookup" - very tribal and different from most of her concerts.Now, the bad, the very bad, the horrid and the atrocious: Of course, she lip-syncs. We all know this, so don't say "Oh, no she doesn't - it's a backing track." Neh eh. This was VERY obvious, especially to someone who's listened to her songs more than once and can recognize the exact sound of her voice from them. At some points, she "sang" over a back vocal instead of the "main" vocal, and then she'd have a look like "Oops! not supposed to do that!" and start "Singing" to the main vocal again.The two songs she DOES sing, Every time and Shadow, really shouldn't have been. Another reviewer said she sang 5 songs, but you can tell that she remade the backing tracks for a handful of her songs so they sounded more "Real". At several points, Britney struggles to keep up with it, often forgetting to "sing". Back to the two songs that she actually sang. Her singing is atrocious - now, before you say I'm being a Brit-Basher, I'd like to point out that the few times she actually sings in her career, I quite enjoy. Just watch and you'll see what I'm talking about.Usually, dancing is Britney's strong suit. Not the case here. Her dancing is weak, as though she's about to collapse from exhaustion, even when it's clear that she's not singing, and she sure as heck isn't dancing enough to wear herself out THAT early in the concert.The "host" - annoying as all-hell. Rude and completely obscene to the "plant" in the audience. There's no way a real audience member would allow herself to be humiliated like that and not file suit.As with most Britney concerts, she's very confused about who to appeal to. The concert, as I said, is awkwardly sexual at times, but then at others has a very "pre-teen" vibe, such as "talking" with the dancers about who's hot and "joking around".Nothing wrong with it, but this concert is very "Sex". Not sexy, at least not to me. Very much about "the sex". I usually find overdoses of sex nauseating, as was the case here. During "Breathe On Me", she gets into very awkward positions with a male dancer and makes out with him on-stage. Such is the case with "Touch of My Hand". Obviously, she is not naked, simply wearing a nude-colored suit with rhinestones on it. Not sexy at all, though I'm sure the average 13-17 yr old will get into it, if you know what I mean. Although, not to burst your bubble, but during "TOMH" the camera doesn't get close enough to Britney to imagine something's there. Sorry guys. OH! But her male dancers totally fondle themselves and "go crazy" humping beds, so have at it. =P Overall, should be a shoe-in with the hardcore Brit addicts. For the rest of us who love her music, but hate her latest antics and attitude, it's only worth watching once.I only gave it a 3/10 - and that 3 was only because the sets and costumes were so good.

I am in total disbelief.... I know that Britney Spears has millions of fans all over the world, but my question is...WHY???? I never saw her perform and before I watched this movie/concert had no opinion of her whatsoever. I am in shock, Britney Spears has got to be the worst performer/singer/entertainer (and this is giving her credit) that I have ever seen. The singing is terrible and the worst part is that she is lip syncing, that means that even the audio producers and technicians could not fix that terrible voice for the film. The dancing was weak. I am surprised that someone looked at this concert and it actually inspired them to make a movie out of it. I can't believe that this is what sells when there are so many people with talent out there.
