Format:DVD
I'd like to start off by saying that I attended this concert back in June and felt that it was an incredible show. Most of the time I can't stand to watch full length concerts on tv because I'd rather be attending the actual concert. It took alot of self control to sit down and watch this, but after getting into it, it made me remember how much of a great time I had at the concert. So, all in all I enjoyed the filmed concert very much so.
Before I had the chance to view the concert via EpixHD.com, the only footage from the concert that I had seen was small snippets of certain songs. The only problem I had with the sneak peak footage was how the live/pre-recorded vocals that I had heard at the concert were dubbed over with the actual track. Thus making it look like, at certain times, that Britney is lip syncing very poorly. At first I thought I would have a problem with the film angles because there were only 3 different cameras. But everything turned out great! I enjoyed it immensely.
If you are a Britney fan, you will love this dvd. If not, then leave negative comments aside and walk away. The Britney that people watch and observe today is no where near the Britney that people fell in love with 10 years ago. Which is why there are devoted fans that have stood by her through thick and thin. Britney doesn't perform to please haters, she performers to please her fans and because she loves doing so. Yes she isn't the same performer she was when she first started. But if I had 2 knee injuries, 2 kids, and a highly publicized meltdown, I would have just given up. She is still going strong and that's why millions still love her, because she didn't quit and give up like so many would have done. It takes a strong person to comeback from what she went through, which is why fans love her.
Once again, If you are a Britney fan, I highly recommend this concert for you. It was such a great show and is really in the top two shows of her career. There is a little bit of the old and new in this concert.
ENJOY! :)

Format:Blu-ray
I'm one of the rare people that is giving this a low score not because of bitter dislike for Britney, because I'm quite the opposite and have every disc and have seen many of her shows. This rating is specifically for the production value of the DVD/Blu-Ray release of the Femme Fatale concert. If you saw this concert in person, then you'd know that she actually sang a hefty portion of the show live, which is what fans have been asking for (especially after she lip synced the entire Circus concert). However, on this DVD/Blu-Ray, when she does sing live, you can only faintly hear the actual vocals underneath pre-recorded tracks that were NOT heard at the actual concert (even the YouTube clips will prove this). Why the producers of the disc would choose to cover her live vocals and continue to feed the "Britney lip syncs because she can't sing" myth is beyond me.

Format:Blu-ray
Where do I begin with this concert Blu-ray/DVD? You know when you're left with questions after watching a concert Blu-ray/DVD that it's a failure all around. That's the only way to describe this travesty. Was there even a point of putting it on Blu-ray? Because you'd have to be both high and deaf to enjoy it? I'll never know.
Ok let's get down to it. The obvious being the lip-syncing. Why ignore the elephant in the room? I know this is pretty standard for Britney because she's done it her entire career but why did she make the decision to have her pre-recorded, or "live" vocals dubbed over? She would've gotten some credibility as people would believe she was singing live. And yes, it was Britney's decision, Epix released a statement stating that it was up to the artist. It begs the question as to why she'd want that. What's the point of being a singer if you don't like your voice or you don't want others to hear it? Why do fans have to fight tooth and nail just to hear you live? It's not like your albums aren't edited enough to where you sound robotic and unnatural. You're better of waiting for the demos and stems to leak. What adds insult to injury are the 30 seconds in total, performances with Sabi and Nicki Minaj which had more live singing than from Britney and it was her concert/tour. Also, does Britney and her team think we're stupid? They dubbed over 'Baby One More Time' and 'Slave 4 u' with the album vocals, you're talking vocals from albums that are over a decade old. I give up.
The dancing, more like what dancing? Whipping your hair isn't dancing, Willow Smith does that and still sings live. "arm dancing" isn't dancing either. I used to be able to defend Britney and say "she dances really hard and therefore it's ok if she lip-syncs". These days she does neither. I gave her a major break during Circus because it was her first tour in 5 years and she went through a lot leading up to it. I've run out of excuses and can't and won't defend this.
Epix and team Britney really dropped the ball as well. The cover, really? That took a lot of consideration to use the album cover. I hope they didn't think too hard with that decision. The image on the disc itself was much better. When you go to the menu and hit "song selection" they messed up a few song titles as well. It's 'Lace and Leather' not 'Leather and Lace', it's also 'Trouble For Me' not 'Trouble'. Did they not pay any attention at all? There's parts where they pan to the audience and it looks pixelated and choppy. And what's with the image on the back cover, the top left B&W photo? That looks like a photo backstage, prayer circle before the show perhaps? That's not on the Blu-ray/DVD or part of the show. Is that an indication that there was extras to be included originally?
In short, like I said, there's questions, and there shouldn't be while watching a concert. In my opinion, the only thing that was done correctly and would make it worthwhile are the Music Videos for each single released. And even that's not on the DVD. If you don't have Blu-ray you're screwed. What I gathered from this? Britney doesn't want to do this anymore and her team hates us all. Don't be the last to know....that this is a waste of time and money.
