Britney is tired. lethargic, not into it. She looks drugged to the eyeballs but perhaps it is more a mental shadowing, a closing down to a public that want a piece of her but only in the worst way.
This is all lucid momentum and the band seldom slow the pace or lower the volume and by the three quarters mark they reel off “Harder To Breathe” , “Wake Up Call” and “One More Night” in succession. One from each album and genius setlist programming.
On Sunday, the band highlighted two albums, Headquarter and the Head soundtrack. In 2011 we were watching a celebration and in 2012 we were watching a statement. Let me try that again: if 2011 was anthropology, 2012 was sociology.
The next day “Page Six” had a blurb about Max George being caught making out with Lindsay Lohan at a club. The Wanted get Lindsay Lohan. One Direction? Taylor Swift. Next.
So on Wednesday all we Beliebers will be converging on MSG to see our boy bring it and how. Justin is a trooper and a good dancer and a lot of fun live. And while I still don’t like Believe all that much, I guess it is better than I gave it credit for.
The song is about as country as Taylor is gonna get, it is country without the twang, though it doesn’t sound like her, it is an ancestor of Patsy Cline. A modern countrypolitan (I bet Taylor wishes Owen Bradley was still around)
I am sure that if you like Taylor, her girlie manners and her obsessive self-centered talk about her ex boyfriends, you will fall in love with her red lipstick, blonde ponytail, I-am-so-serious glasses, cute pajamas, and animal house party! But this is so….. 15 -year-old? Superficial
