Britney Spears New Tour – Just a Circus, or a Good Show?
The Circus is coming to town! So, which will it be? Britney Spears’ life, or the promotional tour for her new album? Britney has chosen to open her tour on March 3, 2009 in New Orleans. The Circus Tour is the famous pop star’s long-awaited re-entry into the music industry. During recent years, all of the focus on Britney has been on her personal life, but both her fans and music executives hope that Britney’s Circus Tour will revive her superstar status, and serve to welcome a new Britney Spears to the world. NEW ALBUM, NEW STAR?
The pop singer’s sixth studio record Circus was released on November 28, 2008, and it has already reached number one on the Billboard charts. The Britney Spears Circus Tour will support Circus and will be interesting to see after her public downfall. Circus’s debut falls in line with her other studio hits. This latest release is the singer’s fifth number one album on the Billboard 200 charts.
There are those who will say that the title of her most recent album and tour is a little unfortunate. It’s certainly a fitting description for the tone of her life over the last several years. This has been true as a result of rumored drug use, dissolving personal relationships, and bizarre personal behavior. It is hoped, however, that the Circus title will prove her to be ready to perform “The Greatest Show on Earth.” Spears is ready to prove that despite her negative attention, she can still command an audience. The Circus Tour will highlight her pizzazz, and further what began as her entre back into the spotlight in early 2008, with guest appearances on popular television sitcoms. For instance, in September, 2008, she not only opened the MTV Video Music Awards, she also went on to win several awards there. Shortly thereafter Jive Records, her record label, announced that circus was on its way. A mere eleven days later, ‘Womanizer’ was released to radio stations with mixed reviews. But just a few weeks later, the single had jumped to the Billboard Top 100 charts. With higher than expected sales, the Circus Tour has already been expanded before it’s even begun.
Britney has benefited from a great deal of support from her friends, family and even fans. They have brought her to a more balanced place in her life, something more even keel – like a plateau. It is only as a result of this changed attitude, and newly found place in life that she could begin such an undertaking as her Circus Tour. Even just a year ago, with the dramatic, bizarre and devastating things that were going on in Britney’s life, no one could possibly have imagined a number one single or a number one album. Nevertheless, here she is. With top debut sales on her sixth studio album Circus, she is on her way to becoming one of the top-selling female pop stars of 2008.
Don’t Miss the Cirucs – It’s this Year’s Show to See
Britney Spears re-introduced herself to the world through a much-anticipated performance on Good Morning America. Her first single from Circus, which hit the stores on Britney’s 27th birthday, December 2nd, is entitled “Womanizer” and it has made a great impression on the music industry. This title track, some would say, has already proven that Britney can still sell music and concerts.
Britney Spears’ Circus Tour will be produce by famed director and choreographer Wade Robson. The Pussycat Dolls are opening for Britney’s tour, which will span 42 cities and opens in New Orleans on March 3, 2009. While on tour, Britney will spend 8 tour dates in Europe in June, 2009. The tour comes to an end on April 28, 2009.
Despite the ups and downs of her personal life, the Britney Spears Circus Tour might just be one of the hottest selling tours of 2009. Her recent successes only contribute to her already impressive musical career. The Britney Spears Circus Tour and her over 500,000 copies sold of Circus are a great start to the renewed Britney Spears. Circus has been her long-awaited album since Blackout in 2007. What a difference a year makes! Hopefully the madness and drama are over, and the Britney Spears Circus Tour can bring back the old Britney Spears who was full of stamina and knockout performances.
