Britney Angers Manchester Fans In Mix-Up

...more Britney Spears »

Britney Spears angered fans who turned out to see her perform at the MEN arena in Manchester last night by getting the name of their hometown wrong.

Despite having driven the 200 miles from London to get there, Britney greeted the audience with “What's up London?!”

Stunned fans reacted with a mixture of surprised laughter and boos.

According to The Mail.com, one mother of a 14-year-old fan said after the show: “If she can't tell the difference between London and Manchester what hope has she got?”

Others were disappointed with her decision to lip-synch throughout the performance.

Britney got straight back on the road to London after her performance, passing up the chance to stay in Manchester for the night.

It's not the first time that Britney's got in a muddle over where she is. Back in April she shouted “What's up Sacremento?” to a crowd in San Jose in California.

Clearly the dizzying touring schedule is taking its toll.

I was there at Britney's concert in manchester last night and although she did shout 'what's up london,' people did not react with boos at all. I thought it was an amazing concert and loved seeing Britney in all her glory. She looked amazing and her dancing was great. the atmosphere was fantastic and I was surrounded by adoring fans all cheering and singing along!

She got it right before this and after so she obviously knew where she was and it wasn't when she greeted us Also I would like to point out that I heard no booing and I wasn't even slightly angered by it It's not that big a deal and I found it pretty funny She might have lip synched but it was still a great show and I would still go again

This happens to alot of celebs at one time or another-can you imagine how hard it is to tell sometimes where you are and where you have been with some of these tours? I was at a Rob Zombie concert in Grand Forks ND and he said Hello Fargo ND. ( and no jokes about ND please!)
