For all those Britney fans it looks like the exciting news about her surprise performance on Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Tour this weekend won't be happening. Turns out they actually wanted her to sing live. According to Page Six, "There's no way. Britney said she would only dance or lip-sync - and to be on stage with Cyndi, you have to actually perform. It's not happening now." Ouch. As harsh as it may be for Brit, we have to agree with Cyndi on this one - if Britney really wants to win back the hearts of her fans, she's going to have to step it up.

    Yikes...I guess Britney didn't realize she actually had to have the ability to sing to perform live. That's why she should have been a back-up dancer and never made any albums...the girl CAN'T sing.

    I'd sing live for the chance to sing with Cyndi and my voice is terrible. Maybe she'll reconsider!

    I'm glad they're not letting her on the tour.She needs to learn how to sing before she starts touring again.

    I honestly think she should just hang it up. She should just raise her boys and go back to school or something. It's just over for her she should just let. it. go. already.

    Wow a shocker, Britney can't sing live. She can't dress herself or control her alcohol either. What a waste.

    Why would she only want to lip sync & not sing live? Uh, hullo Britney, but isn't that your chosen career - TO SING ???? Ay yi yi.

    LOL!

    I knew something was up because she stood up the dancers who came to audtion last week, and she hasn't been rehearsing at all this week. Maybe this is why she looked so ticked off last weekend.

    Wow, why couldn't she agree to perform live without lip syncing? She needs to get serious about this "comeback", it isn't just going to happen.

    She isn't a great dancer, her back up dancers show her up every time. Far more entertaining to watch the pros that she sticks behind her!

    A turn around to what? Britney Spears may just finally realize that in 2007, the entertainment industry has changed. You've got to have some type of singing ability to make it, and she just can't cut it. Bye, Bye Brit-Brit

    She's supposed to be a SINGER...don't you think she'd want to actually sing? Her "comeback" is never going to happen at this point.

    Cyndi Lauper also made some comment last week about how Britney wouldn't be singing with her, which at the time seemed like she meant both on the stage together, but I guess she really meant not in the same venue on the same day.

    It would have been a better move to sort this out before announcing it, because now it makes Britney look like an even bigger joke. She can't even blame the manager she fired for this.

    She probably thought all she would have to worry about is keeping her wig on.

    Oh that is just wrong. Why is she too chicken to sing live and with HELLO 80's queen Cindy Lauper? Come on! Singers preform LIVE. No if and's or butt. Maybe she doesn't want people to see she really can't sing without the help of a computer.

    now it seems as though she is just throwing a temper tantrum. she should stop acting so childish and get a clue. or a therapist. a psycho-therapist... no, but seriously, who wants to watch a lip-syncher? this only proves that her come-back is only a waste of everyone's time.

    Why won't Britney sing live? Does this mean she always lip-synchs?

    If I were paying good money to see Cyndi, I wouldn't want Britney to be performing. Especially after her disastrous "mini tour".

    it's probably b/c you would have to be in seriously good shape to sing and dance for an hour, and let's face it: britney is not in any kind of shape to last an hour without lip synching.

    that's how my aunt explained it to me after she told me that the new kids on the block lip synched. my 9-year-old heart was broken Smiling

    Okay, why would ANYONE want to pay good money to see her dance on stage on lip-sync? You would have to be a fool to want to part with your money for that. So, she is basically a backup dancer that can move her mouth to words. If you like her music, buy her CD for $12 and save yourself some money. I can't believe she got rich off of her fans and her only talent is to dance like a stripper and not sing. With all the talented acts out there today, good luck with that comeback career you are trying to achieve! It will NEVER happen.

    She is no better than Milli Vanilli. Sure, that is her voice on the CD, but the studio obviously manipulated it so much that is might as well be someone else singing.

    Milli Vinilli hahahahaha that cracks me up! Its true the girl is a performer not someone with actual talent. Hope she has invested some of what she made in the early years. Doesn't look good for a come back.

    Spider78, I have strong doubts that she even sang the main hook on Toxic..."I'm addicted to you, but I know that your toxic". I think that was sung by one of the 18 back up singers she usually has on her cds.

    In the credits of one of her cds I saw, it listed the back up singers, and one of them was a funny name with a star. If you look for the footnote, it says that name represents a team of singers, not just one person.

    She has always been a sham. Glad I didn't buy into it.

    I had heard Cyndi said it was NEVER happening, but tiat is not shocking. Why would any credible singer want anything to do with that? I think Brit's career as a lipsyncer is pretty much dead.

    Britney has ALWAYS lipped the fast songs and sung the ballads. It's not a new thing. Beyonce just lipped at the BET awards. So did 50 cent. So does Ciara. So does Rihanna. So does so many other people.

    And no offense but you made this article appear more negative then the actual real article. They wanted her and asked her to be at the Vegas show, but she never got back to them. It's not like she begged to be there.

    A rep for True Colors said, "She was invited to appear on the first date in Las Vegas but we never heard from her."

    I agree she's not ready right now for such a large audience. I also don't think she even belongs on a tour with them...
