Various reviews I've found from people on various boards
I guess there might be changes, e.g. overprotected remix was never really released here so it *might* be changed for the Euro leg .. or maybe not LOL

Intro skit
"TOXIC" Black leather suit thing
"OVERPROTECTED DARK CHILD REMIX" Black leather suit thing. Added some new parts to it, and it was remixed a little differently.
"BOYS CO-ED REMIX" Black leather suit thing. Little Pharrel in it, but reg Boys and Co-ED Boys mixed together
"SHOWDOWN" HOT Dance Number Black leather suit thing
-skit-
"BABY ONE MORE TIME CABARET VERSION" Hot outfit shown in ET Preview with Cojo. Same as ABC special with more added to it. Goes right into Oops
"OOPS I DID IT AGAIN JAZZ REMIX" Same Outfit
"(YOU DRIVE ME) CRAZY" New Remix kinda regagge but Upbeat fast reggae, same outfit
-skit-
Brit talks to the audience
"EVERYTIME" Garden setup. Plays piano, nice outfit (same as one shown in Onyx Hotel Tourbbok Preview)
"THE HOOK UP" Same outfit, hot dance.
"I'M A SLAVE 4 U" VMA version with a little difference. Same dance. Same garden outfit
-skit-
"SHADOW" Done in the air on swing with long flowing purple dress. In the middle, some guys wearing only tighty withies dance ballet on stage.
-skit-
"TOUCH OF MY HAND" SOO controversial. Brooke and otehr dancer have seperate beds, and are pretending to pleasure themselves. Brit is wearing nude suit sparkly like Toxic video but better, is in a bathtub, and dancer pretending to be an officier from the skit is watching, and takes off his pants and does the same.
"BREATHE ON ME" Brit in hot pink outfit, like the one Xtina wore to teh P***ycat dolls club. Brit and dancer on bed most of the time.
"OUTRAGEOUS" Same outfit with a trench coat. Hot dance
-skit-
"(I GOT THAT) BOOM BOOM" New outfit, pinkish. Cool dance. Bows etc.
"ME AGAINST THE MUSIC" Pink hat and busteir, like MATM vid. AMA remix.




Around 9:00, a ringleader dressed like a cross between a Mardi Gras ringmaster and Stephen King's IT comes out--he's our host for the evening.
Britney emerges from a platform wearing the black catsuit, and opens with "Toxic," then proceeds into the "Overprotected" remix then "Boys" (remix intermingled w/ the album version).
"Showdown" comes next, and then an intermission.

A video with Jada Pinkett Smith plays on the screens, inviting BS into the Mystic Lounge, where she performs "BOMT" and "Oops" in a Cabaret/Chicago jazz club setting, wearing the lingerie outfit we saw pics of earlier. She then goes into "Crazy."

Then comes another intermission.
This time a video plays of BS in a garden setting, and a piano with flora all over it appears onstage, and BS greets the audience and plays "Everytime" on piano (yes, you heard right).
After a short break, she launches into "The Hook Up" wearing that very colorful dress from the promo pics. This whole set reminded me of Beyonce--the dress, the fact that she was dancing barefoot, and the reggae-vibe. After "Hook Up" she sings "Slave," the same version from the VMA 2001 (No Light Your **** on Fire remix).

Another intermission then BS sings "Shadow" while she's on a swing. Nothing much, just a gorgeous blue dress, while the dancers act all Cirque-du-Soleil.

Another video plays that involves BS in her hotel bedroom, and she emerges singing "Touch of my Hand" while wearing a bathrobe. Halfway thru the song she removes the robe to reveal the diamond suit she wore in the "Toxic" video.Â* Every straight male in attendance HAD to have popped a boner then.
After "TOMH" comes a short break where a bed appears onstage, and BS performs "Breathe On Me" wearing pink underwear.
Immediately following that is "Outrageous" (shortened; she skips the second verse).

Another break where the Ringmaster/IT dude addresses the audience, then "Boom Boom" comes on...the full version (Ying Yang twins grunts and raps included). She wears a pink top w/ grey baggy jeans (nod to the "urban" feel of the song, perhaps?)
After that comes the thanking of the dancers and the band and the blah blah I like cheese.

Encore really sucked. "Me Against the Music" as you might expect, but it's the same performance from the AMAs--the remix. I hate that remix with a passion--that Ricschi Rich Desi Kuclha dude or whoever did it should be castrated.

All in all, a great show...not as explosive and in-your-face as DWAD, but hey, it's Britney.

Another more detailed review from the Phlosh Phorums

Where do I start? The tour was everything I expected and everything I hoped for. It provided a night of pure enjoyment and even a few moments that I would pay hundreds of dollars just to re-live.

I guess I’ll start with everything that happened before Britney came on stage. I got there right as Kelis started and honestly, it gave me a whole new appreciation for Britney’s lip-synching. I mean, I’m not saying we should love her lipping, but seriously, if she sounded as bad as Kelis did live, it wouldn’t be worth it. At least not to me. “Milkshake” sounded pretty bad and was a bit of a disappointment. Though Kelis’ milkshake was nice, so I guess I can overlook it.

After Kelis’ set, I went outside for a bottle of water. As soon as I came out, I saw Larry Rudolf. I approached him, introduced myself, and shook his hand. I told him that he has done an amazing job as Britney’s manager and that after seeing the endless amount of girls that approached him, I wanted his job. He laughed and we chatted for a bit, but so many people were around him I left him alone. He was very cool.

At around 9:00, Britney came out. The concert began with a little intro welcoming everyone to the “Onyx Hotel.” The manager of the hotel, who looks like a hybrid of a clown and Boy-George, starts by introducing himself and welcoming you to his hotel. Soon enough, a door opens, and it all begins...

Toxic - Hello, catsuit! The catsuit was back and she looked as good as ever. Britney came out on this huge moving carriage that was about the size of a tractor. After the first chorus, she slid done a pole on the side and went into the dance routine. It was a great way to start the show. Next she went into...

Overprotected - Here is a song I didn’t expect. She performed in the catsuit as well and in fact, the performance was very similar to the one from the DWAD tour. She performed the remix and during the bridge she danced the same part she danced in the rain in the Overprotected video.

After this song, she welcomed everyone and talked to the crowd for a bit. She seemed like she was really upbeat. Next up was...

Boys - The song was pretty cool. It had the beat of the remix, but Pharell’s part was cut out, and the original bridge was put in. She performed the beginning on the stairs and had her female dancers with her, and the guys on the other side of the stage. She followed up this song with...

Showdown Another song I was surprised to see. They brought out the carts they use to load your luggage on at hotels and during the bridge, they all got in one and dancing inside them. It actually looked really cool. And if Orlando and I heard correctly, it was very much live. Yep, no lipping here.

After this song, she stopped again to talk to us. She said “Wow, there are some really hot guys here tonight.” She then looked around and said “If you guys are lucky, you might get to hook-up with someone here tonight.” She then paused and continued, “But if you are really lucky, I might even marry you.” lol When she said that everyone laughed. It was adorable and very nice to see her make fun of herself. She then introduced her band, which was weird given how early in the concert it was, but she had fun with it. She told each of her band members, one by one, to play something for the female dancers. She kept saying “play us something hot.” After introducing them all, she went down in a little elevator to change, and she came back with...

Baby One More Time (Cabaret Remix) Just like she did on the ABC special. It was one of those songs that appeared to be live, but I can’t be sure. Her mouth and body movement really matched the vocals, but at the same time, she hasn’t sung it live before, so I don’t know for sure. She did this chair thing, where the would walk on a row of about 6 chairs. After she passed each chair, her dancers would move the chair from the beginning to the end of the line. She also wore this outfit that made her look extremely hot. It was pink and had fishnet stalkings. It was the one seen on the ET preview. Next, she sang...

Oops I Did It Again (Jazz Remix) Can you say...killed it? lol I did not enjoy this remix. It was very slow and really not interesting. She wore the same outfit that she wore in the previous song and just walked around singing. Again, if her standing around means singing live, its not worth it. It was my least favorite performace of the night and really the one low-point. Too bad too, because I loved the OIDIA performance on the DWAD tour so much. The followed this song with...

You Drive Me Crazy Here’s an oldie! It wasn’t the Stop! Remix, just the original. The guitar was very load and it sounded amazing. She danced her tail off during this song. And yes, as always, it was lipped. Nonetheless, her music and dancing got you into it, so it was great to hear this Britney classic.

She then ran into the back to change. Before the next song started, there was a little skit. It was a video of Britney walking through this beautiful forest. She walks around for a while and eventually runs into a piano covers in flowers and leaves. The video then fades out and the light on the stage come on, revealing a piano. Britney then comes out and sits down at the piano. She says “I’m going to slow things up for a second. You know, the last 6 months have been a roller coaster for me. Their have been ups and downs, but the way I see it, its because of those things that I am who I am today.” When she said that, the crowd erupted. She seriously looked like she was crying. She kept having to stop, which I’m guessing was her trying to restrain herself. She then added, “We all know how to laugh. We know how to cry. We know how to be held. We know how to love back. And we all know heartbreak.” After she said that, all the girls around me gave a big “aww” and some looked like they were crying too. I thought that was funny, lol. Britney then said...

Everytime - ...“This is a very personal song for me and I hope you like it.” She then turned around and started playing the piano. Yes, Britney was playing the piano! She is a musician now. Well, not really, but I’m excited, so give me a break. I’ve been wanting her to play the piano for a long time, so it was great to see. She sang this song live and she did a great, just like she did on SNL. She kept looking down at her fingers during the pauses in the song to make sure she was doing it correctly. She did great. It was one of the highlights for me. I loved it. Next, she...

Hook-Up - It was a surprise to hear this song, but a welcomed one. The crowd seemed really excited to hear it. She wore the same beautiful dress she wore for “Everytime.” It was a green and yellow dress that she looked great in. After this upbeat performance, she performed...

Slave 4 U This song really got the crowd into it. Everyone screamed when they heard it start and soon enough the whole place was dancing. She did a dance routine very much like the one at the VMAs and given the green, jungle colored dress, the theme was the same too. She also had a nod to the DWAD tour at the end of the song. As she exited the stage and the song ended, she hung onto that tractor-like vehicle from earlier on and fell back, like she did at the end of “Slave” on the DWAD tour.

Next, there was a bit of a skit. It was called the “Onyx Zone,” which was supposed to be like the “Twilight Show.” You then see some that reads, “The Shadow Room” or something like that. That obviously leads into....

Shadow - The visuals for this performances were amazingly gorgeous. She wore a light blue dress and sat on a swing/seat that was supported by two cables. The whole stage was a light blue color. It looked almost like she was in water. Very, very beautiful. Her seat slowly lifted throughout the performance. Once the song finished, she went into the back once more.

Next, there was another skit that lead into the highlight of the night....-

Next, there was another skit that lead into the highlight of the night. It begin with two security guards watching the monitors. The soon look into Britney’s bedroom, where she is in a robe watching television. After not finding anything to watch, a look comes over her face. She blows out the candles, heads to the bathroom, and takes her robe off. The skit fades to black and the next song is...

Touch of My Hand - Woah! If you thought the intro was hot, then you are in for a shock. The songs begins with two beds on the stage and Britney in the upper-left corner in a clear chair wearing a robe. The first verse and chorus is pretty much her dancers on the beds, touching themselves. A guy is on one bed and a girl on another. After the chorus, it gets crazy. Britney drops her robe revealing her naked ****. She is wearing a clear, diamond suit (like in “Toxic”) and it is very see-through. Her **** was very visible and it seemed she was wearing a g-string. Very hot. My jaw hit the floor. She had her hands all over herself. And to top it off, she sang the song live. Yep, yep, yep. It was a very sexual performance, which makes sense, giving that it lead into...

Breathe On Me - Another very hot performances. The beds were still on the stage and this time Britney was on one of them. She performed with one of her male dancers. It was pretty much them all over each other, as it was in the next bed, where two of her female dancers danced together. In the right corner, she also had two of her male dancers dancing together. In the background she had three silhouettes where you could see shadows in 3 different rooms. In the top room, it appeared that there was a threesome going on. This song was also live, though you could tell she didn’t sing some parts. For this song she wore a very sexy outfit, consisting of what was pretty much a bra and panties. Next, she went into...

Outrageous - A great song to follow up with. She covered herself up with a trenchcoat in this song, but left it unbuttoned. The song sounded great live and was a great follow up to the two amazing performances before it. In fact, I liked it live a lot more than I like it on the album. During the "sex drive" line Britney lifts her coat and shakes her **** for us. It was nice ****, might I add. After the song, she went into the back one more time and came out with...

Boom Boom - I think this was my favorite performance of the night. I had a great time with this song and it seemed like the crowd did too. She wore a pink shirt for this song and the dancing was great. I loved watching the guitar player play the banjo. During the Twins’ part she seemed to be making fun of how long it was. She messed around with her dancing acting like there was nothing for her to do in the meantime and took a drink from a water bottle and then threw it to a fan. At the end, confetti fell from the roof and she said goodbye.

Britney gave her bow with her dancers, thanked the back-up singers, and then thanks everyone for coming out. She danced for a while with her dances and then said she hoped everyone had a great time. As she started to walk of the stage, she ran back and said she didn’t want to leave. But then a dancer came back and told her she had to leave. As the ran out she turned and said “Well, since I didn’t sing “Sometimes,” here it is.” She sang the “sometimes I run” line as she ran out. And when her dancers told her she had to stop, she said “Oh well, I didn’t like that song anyways.” lol She then ran into the back and everything went black.. Then came the encore...

Me Against the Music - As someone who doesn’t like this song, I was disappointed that she closed with this song. But to be honest, I enjoyed the performace and loved that she did the original and the remix. I like the remix more, so it was a good mix. She wore the same thing she wore in the MATM video, except that it was red. She did the same dancing as the video as well, with a few differences. At the end, she thanked everyone for coming again and that was it. An amazing show came to a close.

But no "Stronger" and no "I Love Rock'n'Roll".

Agreed, it has been mentioned in a few reviews how the "guitar" was fairly loud during Crazy, so its a shame that ILRnR wasn't used for that same issue.

Seems interesting, I should have the PPV gig on DVD (From the TV) so can do some HQ rips from that if they don't find their way onto the web quickly (which they should do!) :D

I have spare London tickets LOL ;)

Perhaps more importantly:
ON THE ROAD: Roberto Cavalli has designed a dress for Britney Spears’ tour, which kicks off today. The pop queen will wear Cavalli’s aquamarine silk chiffon dress with a bustier embellished by Swarovski crystals for one of her acts. The relationship with Cavalli goes back five years. Spears, after all, is no stranger to sexy, dramatic looks by Italian designers such as Donatella Versace, whose show she attended in fall 2002.

I think Britney is seen as more as an entertainment package, you wouldn't expect someone like Mariah Carey or say even George Michael prance around a stage, where-as if Britney just stood on stage singing out the songs people would complain like hell.
Sadly a line has to be drawn somewhere and I guess in the case of Britney its at the amount of Live Vocals

I haven't read a whole review, but will the slow songs like Shadow and Everytime be live?

If not I'd say that is pretty lousy, but to be honest, I'd rather have an action packed show than watered down dance routines and shaky vocals (Because lets face it, Britney won't be challenging Xtina or Beyonce anytime soon).

Excatly, Britney isn't really known for her top vocal performances is she? So she takes the shows the other way and laveshes it up with OTT dance routines and effects etc. Never going to please everyone, if she sat down and did everything live people would complain!!

Seems to be the needed step on from the Oops! world tour, the last Dream Within A Dream tour was wayyy too lavish to take on a world tour!

I wouldn't complain!!! She may not be known for her top vocal performances but she should be. She MUST sing live. Her voice is so beautiful and strong. She's really talented. Im so fed up with singers and bands who always mime. I heard somewhere that (normaly) singers cant mime at concerts. I don't know if it's true but i really hope it is. They should all sing live. C'mon they're singers. Singing is what their job is all about!!! It's even in the word 'SING-er'. It seems like they all forgot it. Now the most important thing for them is being sexy, being cool, having great clothes, having great or stupid choreographies, shocking people, being (almost) naked,... Im really fed up!

No really, I am a mega Britney fan, but am under no illusions. Having heard her perform Lucky and Oops...I Did It Again live on TOTP I can't imagine she would be able to cope with a full show at all.

You can hear from her CDs how much her voice has remained the same in 5 years that what she couldn't do then, she can't do now.

with her coreography, her voice would be shaky, she would be out of breath, and do a bad performance

but for the slow songs - LIVE!

Anything you throw at the record company regarding live vocals will be met with "The show is 100% live" just as Steps used to do, even when it clearly is not the case.

Have you been on one of the concerts of the Oops Tour? She tried to sing live there sometimes, but it sounded so squeaky and out of tune, it hurt my ears.
Yes, she's proven that she can sing live (sort of), like singing "Everytime" live on SNL (that was quite good really), but she didnt dance while singing.

So I'd say ballads live: yes, songs with dance routines live: no.

Yep, that's what I think. Britney is NOT famous for her superb singing ability. No, it's her talent to entertain and put up some great, great shows with amazing dance routines.

And actually, according to the reviews, Breathe On Me is one of the few songs that are live.

I remember seeing Oops...I Did It Again on TV and it was just dull. The dancers basically danced around her whilst she was in the middle waving her arms around a bit.

first off i saw the OIDIA Tour when it came to england and she did the whole thing live with dance routines and even though she isn't the strongest singer live she is still extremely talented - i think she should just prerecord her vocals onto the sound system and then mime to it!

No, she prerecorded everything to make it sound live.
