Photos From Britney Spears Circus Tour Opening Night in New Orleans

Britney's Three Ring Circus Tour Kicks Off!

March 4, 2009

Britney Spears took the stage in New Orleans last night for the opening night of her Circus tour. She was back in top form and as we saw from her rehearsal footage the show was a visual spectacle. It's Brit's first arena tour since 2004 and the early reviews sound like she is back on track with her themed routines, which were twittered by the audience the whole time. She got sawed in half during "Ooh Ooh Baby" and finished off the show with some of her classic hits like "Toxic" and "...Baby One More Time" before an encore of "Womanizer." It looks like her dancing was on point and she put on a spectacular show. We can't wait to hear and see more as her 40 show tour continues, but from the looks of it, Britney is Back for real this time!

I am happy to see that not everybody falls over with admiration for Britney; I know she can't sing, but at least, I expected her to look great and to perform as she did in her old days. Based on these pictures, I am just put off; she looks horrible in the costumes - and she is not nearly as fit as on the (photoshopped) pics she has been posting on her own site. There is something about the whole setting which just screams "Madonna-copy", in a cheap, unelegant way. I wonder what the Queen of Pop thinks of her younger competition? I am no big Madonna fan myself, but she always looks and performs the part, which is more than one can say about Britney.

I'm pretty sure all the Britney fans will be upset with me but I'm not feeling her costumes. It has a total Blonde Ambition meets Showgirl look but extra corny. The nipple tassels. It's not avante garde at all it's very Las Vegas showgirl.

My daughter went to the concert last night and she thought it was great. I am very proud of Brittany, considering all she has been through in the last few years. I read she had to pay Kevin to be able to have her boys on the tour with her. All you people doing the bashing should have to live her life and see how well you would cope. She looks great and I wish her the best.

No two words make more sense in the same sentence more than 'visual spectacle' when referring to that 'Teenage brain cancer' up there.

uh i thought she lost weight,what happened? or is it bloat from her meds? this is her "comeback"? how much crisco did it take to squeeze her into those outfits? i guess no one had anything else to do,its not like you need to rehearse wandering around a stage lip synching wishing you were in a gas station bathroom poppin adderall with some pap.

I guess if trashing around on stage, lip synching in ridiculous stripper costumes means Britney is back.... wahoo for her.

I also think she is still too heavy , I am sorry. But I am myself are a little too heavy at the moment and working hard to get it off. I would never ever wear any of these outfits if my body looked like that....sorry

Picture 14 of 41 is straight- up scary.

One of the attendees from last night's show said she was disappointed b/c Britney didn't seem into it and never spoke to the audience. No wonder she's not into it when she's been forced back on stage. People reported she looked visibly nervous - I don't think she's "back" at all. Sorry

I read on another site that she lip syncs. That is definitely disappointing! But I think her show is still gonna be awesome! Wish I could have made it to one of them, but I couldn't get the tickets.

Looks like she's doing good. I'm hoping performing and being on tour will take off all of the bad things that have happened to her. Keeping busy is sometimes a good thing. I wish her luck!

Oh wow, a stripper costume, a sexy cop costume, it's groundbreaking!

I've never really be a fan, but she looks good. Not great, but good and healthy. I'm sure after 40 shows the costumes will fit a bit better. I know I'm being kinda critical, but to clear it up I would love to have her 'now' body, I just wouldn't perform in costumes quite this revealing... I wish her all the best, but I swear I still see something in her eyes that says she doesn't really want to be where she is, even if it's loads better than where she was a year or two ago... Oh well. Hopefully someday she'll be allowed to just 'be'.
