A Britney “fan” from Vancouver created a petition online, in an attempt to receive a refund because Britney walked off the stage, basically saying that, “because she doesn’t sing live, the smoke doesn’t make a difference”. Here’s what the fan wrote on petitionspot.com:
“Those who attended the Britney Spears gong-show show in Vancouver on Wednesday, April 8th 2009 at GM Place (and those around the world, for that matter) know what went down that evening. If not, let me refresh your memory. Britney opened the show that night with Circus. Roaring, cheering crowed, looked like it was going to be a GREAT night. Three songs into the set, however, Britney leaves the stage. We’re led to believe it was for a costume change, prop set-up, etcetera. Five minutes pass of fans being left sitting in the dark – nothing. Ten minutes – nothing. Twenty minutes of waiting, a woman comes over the PA system stating that the building had become very smoke-infested and that it was dangerous for “Ms. Spears” and her dancers. Hold on just a minute. Where was the scent of smoke?! And you had to wait TWENTY minutes before making this announcement? The building only became smokey once that announcement was made and the fans had lit cigarettes in protest. Keep in mind that “Ms. Spears”, herself, is a heavy smoker – and does NOT. I repeat. DOES NOT SING LIVE. If you think she does, you’re delusional. Therefor the smoke would not affect her vocal cords. There have been plenty of shows at GM Place (Justin Timberlake, for example) for the stench of smoke was almost unbearable and not ONCE did he comment on it nor did he ever leave the stage. Maybe because he has a tad bit more class and is much, much more professional than “Ms. Spears” these days. After fourty minutes (total) of waiting, Britney returned to the stage and resumed the show with little to no energy, at the end saying, “Don’t smoke weed” and “Peace out, mother****ers!” Great way to show fans your appreciation. GM Place and Britney’s management also seem to have conflicting statements – Britney’s website stating it was workers above the stage complaining (when, as said, the woman over the PA said it was Britney and her dancers) and GM Place saying there was no smoke. Some fans paid up to $500 to see this ***** perform live, to see her comeback, and she calls us MOTHER****ERS? As a Britney fan, delay in the show or no delay, I can say I am extremely disappointed and I’m sure there are many who share the same opinion as I do. An apology from Britney, herself, would have been nice. But we won’t be getting that, so what’s the next best thing? A REFUND.”
Since there’s only one supporter of the petition so far (the creator), I’m just going to laugh and say that this “fan” needs to stop smoking weed.
