I spoke to a couple of my radio friends who were granted one of the very rare five minute interviews with Britney Spears that she has been giving to promote her new record and Vegas gig. Apparently the five minute interviews are useless and two of the three stations I spoke to said they can't even use what they have because it is so messed up and they don't want to make Britney look bad because it is like an adult beating up a kid in a playground. It doesn't look or sound right. The rules were simple. Three questions and you could talk to Britney about Vegas or her album. It had to me something work related. No personal stuff. If you ask about her album it comes out mechanical but it is Britney's voice, but you have to ask the question phrased like this: "I heard you have a new album coming out." That she can answer. If you ask her about her album phrased like, "How did you come up with the title of your new album?" the answer paralyzes Britney.
All of the radio people say there is no way that Britney can sing live for two hours at a show. It will be impossible. "She can barely speak," one said. "How is she going to be able to sing for two hours? I will be surprised if she does more than stand in place while people move around her to make it look likeshe is dancing."
