It's been confirmed that Britney Spears WAS invited to appear on Cyndi Lauper's True Colors tour stop on the west coast. But sources say she declined because Cyndi Lauper doesn't allow lip-synching on her stage. Cyndi needs to ease up, what if there were fabulous costumes, or choreography?
Anyone hoping to see Britney Spears perform at Cyndi Lauper's True Colors tour at L.A.'s Greek Theater on Saturday will be sorely disappointed. Spears' choreographer, Misha Gabriel, told People magazine she would hit the stage with Lauper, Rosie O'Donnell, Erasure, Debbie Harry and The MisShapes. But a source told 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.

Keep reading for what a rep from the tour had to say.
A rep for the tour has stated that Britney was actually invited to appear at the Las Vegas stop, but they never heard back from her. Probably because Ocean State Job Lot was having a two for one flip-flops sale. Also, it probably isn't safe for an artist to give a disappointing performance anymore. J. Harvey was at the Morrissey show here in Boston on Tuesday night. Morrissey came out, sounded great, did about five songs. Then started complaining about how David Letterman's studio was too cold, and his voice was suffering from it. Then he left! And sent some bitch to cancel the show! WHAT? I've never seen so many effete record store employees, and aging former rockabilly punks get so angry! Britney's wise. Morrissey fans will merely snarl and hurl withering insults and cry on blogs about it. Britney's fans are gay men and drunk girls. Who can snap on you!
LoRider says:
Britney is a low-rent skank who made a name for herself by being a reasonably hot piece of ass who could really dance well. She rose to fame on the wave of teeny-bopper girls and dirty old men who wanted to jump her ass. Now she's a 2-time unmilfish mother who has no way to get her career back. Madonna waited until she was well past her prime to have kids so she wouldn't feel the pressure to try coming back and being a sex symbol. And let's face it, she is Madonna. That's like being a modern-day Garbo or something because she already has decades of fanbase built up. Britney had 4 years and then decided to f up her life - they would make her a modern day Judy (or was it Audrey) Landers. Anyone remember either of them? Ride Lo.
Zekers says:
LoRider,
What is "unmilfish?"
...I remember the Landers sisters-I get your analogy!
Darth Paul says:
Amen, LoRider...
Thank goddess for whatever reason the Spears won't be on tour. How is she even relevant anymore other than as an obnoxious spectacle? She's better off joining a traveling carnival.

That is pure BS!
Cyndi may not lip synch, but she does not kick those off who do!
I was at the Radio City Music Hall show...and Cazwell and Amanda Lapore were both lip synching there songs!

I already respected Cyndi before, but I REALLY respect her now. If i was at that show I would personally thank her for her integrity.
If Britney can do one small performance lip-synch free then what the hell is she even doing in a studio? Yes I know what Producers do for her, but don't you have to have at least SOMETHING to work with in the first place? That's what makes it really sad for real singers who can't get recording contracts.
re Morrissey's Tour:
Ha! J Harvey, that was pretty bad. My friend went to see Morrisey in Seattle and told me that he got pissed that the crowd was singing along with him. He stopped the music MID-SONG and told his audience that if they didn't shut up and stop singing he was going to cancel the show right then and there... Talk about DOUCHERY!
lisa says:
Cyndi's right. There's no place for Britters on this tour. I don't even know why whoever invited her on thinks she'd fit in in the first place... She's not a gay icon! This is the TRUE COLOURS tour. The five gay men in the world who still think Britney's got something going for her do not count, sorry.
They've already got a fabulous, talented lineup on the road right now. Let's not spoil it!
