Summary: A lip-synching masterpiece!
Review: For all of the praise and acclaim that Britney Spears receives from the media and from fans worldwide (what they see in her, I still don't know), there isn't much Spears has done to justify it - basically she comes off to me as someone that got by on pure luck rather than talent. She can't sing a note in tune, her dancing is substandard, the songs are accompanied by cheesy outdated sequencers, and the lyrics are nothing short of abominable - and this DVD proves it. If the vocals have a pre-recorded sound to them, that's because they WERE pre-recorded - Spears is lip-synching throughout the whole "live" performance!

I'm sure Spears is aware of her many shortcomings - she hopes to distract everyone from them by wearing as little clothing as possible, including plenty of gratuitous cleavage shots (A note to parents: Keep this in mind when one of your children asks for this DVD). If there's anything I'll give her credit for, she sets a record for the amount of outfit changes she goes through during her performance - and that's about all I'll give her credit for. This DVD is all the proof you need that she is a lip-synching flunky and an average dancer at best - the only thing she's got going for her is her sex appeal, but that shouldn't translate to a successful career in the music industry.

In summary: This DVD is not worth your time or money. Spears can't decide whether she wants to appeal to children (through her cheesy bubblegum pop songs) or teenage boys and unmarried middle-aged men (through her revealing outfits), and comes up with something that's a complete waste of time, totally lacking purpose or substance. Basically, combine Teletubbies with a movie like "Showgirls", and you have Britney Spears: Live From Las Vegas in a nutshell - a concept that is as ridiculous as it is pointless.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: THE QUEEN OF LIP-SYNC AND RIP-OFFS!
Review: I saw the Onyx hotel show, expecting to see if this girl did anything better than the Vegas show...it was all the same. Britney Spears lip sync the whole show, and the only two songs she really sang (if you want to call it that!) she looked like she was in so much pain, as if she was having kidney stone pains, like a cat in heat! I felt so sorry for her because this girl is pretty with a nice body (it looks like she gained a bit of weight), but she just cannot sing. The whole show was a complete rip-off of many things combined that Madonna and Janet has done to death, nothing original. To me she's a pretty over paid stripper, that happens to be white, blonde and prety and acts like she's the ultimate 'girl next door' type, although everybody knows that's not the case...but hey, not to bash her completely, at least all that plastic sugar coating made her a very rich girl...but always remember, things don't last forever, so she better come up with a new formula soon before it all comes crashing down, she won't be Barbie forever.

Want to go see a real diva....MADONNA is coming to town this summer 2004!!!!

Summary: Live?? Not Live at all... Spears puts up a kiddie show.
Review: In her Live in Las Vegas get up Britney Spears should be crowned princess of lip-syncing not pop princess. Watching and hearing this is just like closing your eyes and listening to her CDs at home. She maybe live to the sight of eyes but the vocals aren't one bit live in this DVD or any other performance she has ever done. A big fat F on this DVD and this performer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Radical

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VEGAS BABY!
Review: This is such an awesome DVD. Britney puts on the best show ever. The ending is "THE BEST" Any Britney Spears fan should own this DVD. 5 stars!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: ok
Review: I would give her more stars if she really sang, all she did was lip sync. And the last part of the concert was a total strip tease. Britney and company should have more taste since Kiddies are at her concert.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good for visuals and choreography but lacks vocals.
Review: Well let me start off by saying that I first saw this concert when it was aired in my country during the day. Inevitably I recorded the concert and was awestruck with the last performance (Baby One More Time Remixed). About 6 months later I saw my local CD/DVD store had this DVD on for sale and I bought it expecting pretty much the same footage of what I saw on the tv aired version of the concert.

The first thing that got to me when I played the DVD was the intro, I noticed that new footage of the intro was inlcuded on the DVD which were cut down from the tv aired version for time constraints, so I thought to myself "oh so this DVD has the uncut length of the concert". While going through the concert most of the footage was pretty much the same as to what I saw on the tv when it was aired with the exception of some performances that had different angle shots to the tv version such as I Love Rock & Roll, What It's Like To Be Me & Baby One More Time.

Ok now to the things that were cut out of the concert when it was aired on tv, as mentioned before the intro was much longer than the tv version, after performing Stronger Britney takes a short rest and comes out talking about how proud she is of her country and going to the satellite feedback of selected military bases that her concert was being aired to, a comedy skit of "Making The Band" Documentary which was really the interlude to her I Love Rock & Roll performance and a bungee jumping & running scene which Britney performed straight after performing I Love Rock & Roll, one more factor or thing I noticed was that after the concert the credits went longer then to what was aired on tv but most of you guys wouldn't care about this anyway unless you liked listening to the background music while the credits roled.

Another thing I noticed was that her vocals for her performances of Anticipating & Baby One More Time was edited, this to me was a let down for her Baby One More Time performance because the performances of these songs I saw on the tv sounded different such as Anticipating the back-track for this song dropped out tremendously in the tv aired version where I could even hardly hear Britney's "pre-recorded vocals" but on the DVD the sound has been edited and I could hear her vocals (not her real vocals of course). For her Baby One More Time audio, I can say that she DID sing live for that track but for some reason the people who made this DVD decided to decrease the sound of her vocals for this performance and put her backing-vocals before her real vocals (in other words minimise Britney's singing voice). I found the decrease of the crowd's screaming & yelling sound to be a good factor as it let me hear more clear of Britney's performances.

One obvious feature that this DVD lacks is the Bonus Features, well from what I have my Aussie version of this DVD, it contains 3 music videos which are I'm A Slave 4 U, Overprotected (European Video) & Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman (Non Movie Version) and these are really the only extra features which I was kind of disappointed as they could've added the HBO commercial for this concert & the Crossroads trailer.

Overall, I found this concert to be enjoyable but some performances that I could've done without such as Don't Let Me Be Tha Last To Know & (You Drive Me) Crazy (thank god for the skipping button) the visuals & choreography for this concert was superb (I liked the idea of Britney battling against a virtual-version of herself for the performance of Lonely) however the singing in this concert was definitely lacking & yes I know that she lip-synched throughout most of the concert but with the concert as energetic & tiring as it was which singer wouldn't do that but I did get put off on how Britney lip-synched for her performance of Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman with how slow paced the song was she could've at least sung it live that's not to mention her bad, bad singing for Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know in this concert which in fact was her real singing of that song. If you're a ultra die-hard Britney fan then this DVD is for you but don't expect special features other than the the 3 music videos & trailer for Crossroads (I don't know why the trailer wasn't put onto my aussie version of this DVD but it was put on the US & UK version).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Buy it if you like strippers
Review: If you want a DVD of a wannabe stripper lip synching...then this is the DVD for you!!!

I mean, I can get the same thing on HBO or even in person at the Spearment Rhino. C'mon people. How can you call this talent? Christina Aguilera might be a hoe, but at least she can SING!

Rating: 5 stars
