Of late, pop music seems to have left Britney Spears behind. She’s looking slow, old and lacking in the vitality that once made her so much fun to have around. A string of disastrous romances, leaked druggy-looking videos and court cases have left Britney wobbling around with the grace of a mop bucket.
And so, even though her last two singles have been pretty decent dancefloor fodder, there’s still that magic missing from previous years.
So, to make her tour fun, vital and action packed, she’s reportedly hiring Nicki Minaj to be her opening act, which should liven things up before Spears appears on-stage looking like a tired boxer.
Apparently, a deal was signed several days ago and Britney is thrilled, because it means that her fans will be able to see some dance moves in what was promising to be a routineless tour.
Fans should be chuffed too because the other rumoured support act was the insipid Enrique Iglasias, who is about as much fun as finding a spent condom in your pocket. We suspect his tender little ego couldn’t handle opening for Spears anyway.
Minaj is on tour with Lil Wayne, which is all well and good, but gigging with Britney could see her propelled into genuine superstardom… provided of course, she actually makes some records that are as weird and fun as Minaj’s persona promises (she’s been a little too tame for our liking thus far).
The tour kicks off June 17 in Sacramento, which is a fun word to say.
