Why Did This Ruin A Flawless Tour

[POMNEY :3]

The Feme Fatale Tour, had it's flaws like every tour. However it felt like they just kept wanting to ruin the show's production and quality.

First of all they removed these performances:

He About To Lose Me:

Burnin' Up:

This impacted the tour, however it still had it's very high and beautiful production, and that amazing stage.

However then for whatever reason unknown to us the catwalk was removed:

( couldn't find a good picture of the stage with the catwalk so this is a model )

The next one I'm not sure about, but I feel like it's a completely different stage in South America:

• The white lines along the stage floor were gone
• The screens were completely different
• A lot of special effects were removed
• The stage feels even smaller, than the one used in Europe:

(sorry for potato pic)

 

I feel that if FFT hadn't gone through so many changes maybe it would be considered a better tour. I have always felt that FFT had really good production, but as they kept shrinking the stage, removing song, and even ruining her costumes it felt not as good. If you look at the videos from South America it feels very cheap looking despite the amount of money that was actually put into production. In my opinion they should've changed things for better not worse. Also  the catwalk couldn't of been removed for being too expensive, the Circus Tour's Stage was much larger, and  it was transported around 3 Continents.

I agree, I always watch videos from the first dates of the tour and I enjoy them because it started being a great show, but they kept cutting things until the end, which I think is why many people hate it.

Exactly, but they cut them for no reason, I mean ok so maybe they actually couldn't transport that catwalk right, well they didn't have to shrink the stage even more in South America

Actually, they should have been able to have the full stage in South America, after all, it's not far or anything from USA since they're in the same continent. I just don't get what's in Team Britney's mind

I think it was just to cut costs but it was a HUUUUGE staged... I went to Artrave the other week and was surprised at how small the stage actually was

I heard that she sold the catwalk or smth But instead of bringing the full stage or even half the stage, they shrank it and changed all the screens (I'm possitive it's a different stage)

Really? It looks huge with that catwalk and everything

i think they said the catwalk was too expensive and that the hatlm props broke? iirc

They didn't say anything about the catwalk it was just a rumor,( I heard they sold the catwalk for Micheal Jackson Immortal ) also the HATLM chair, isn't it the same one from GM:

This

[POMNEY :3]

This

but what about the South American stage, which was even smaller also IIRC the chair that "broke" was still used for GM in every other show

[Jeansus Spears]

I think it's all because of the budgets

IKR I've watched the South America shows and the stage it's so small , I do think every change was to save money Bb

In a way I know it was to save money but I wanted to see the full show when she came I didn't end up going to her show here, (for other reasons) but still she even removed the fireworks

I get you Bb , it's sad when you don't live the full experience of a concert, buy sometimes it's really difficult for the staff to travel with all the elements that are part of the stage, or it's not safe

[Maria Spears]

Latin america version was very cheap compared to the original. Even at the beggining during HIAM she didn't descend from the top in my concert

IKR I don't get that The top was still working she could've opened like se did in legs 1, and 2

I guess so ( still wish she hadn't sold her catwalk to circ de soleil) but as long as POM's stage doesn't change I'll be ok

Nope, the main stage is TINY. You can even see backstage, there's hardly any cloth or anything. The catwalk is big but she spends 90% of the show on the other side so I was a bit disapointed.

[Nathan]

But wasn't TCSBS Stage bigger, they didn't have to shrink it

I don't think it was THAT big? I never saw it in person but it was only basic floor staging and then the thing at the top which was probably the biggest issue?

[MaleFatale]

The difference between the circus and femme fatale tour is that the circus tour had virgin mobile as the sponsor while during the femme fatale tour the sponsor was Britney's team (there was no external sponsor and they paid all the expenses).

About the Europe to UAE and then South America stage change her last show in Europe was on November 9 in Lisbon And the Abu Dhabi show was 2 days later and the first SA show was 4 days later. The stage could not be moved from lisbon to abu dhabi in 2 days so they used a simplier stage setting (either completely different or just stripped down) so it was not only about the money but also about the distance they had to cover in so little time

Yeah, I imagine that with that kind of catwalk it's not always easy to see her, you miss a lot of moments of the show!

Lol me neither but it looks humongous it takes her like 5 songs to walk from the B-Stage to the C-Stage

I had no idea, Still South American leg was like 3 weeks long, surely at some point they should've brought the actual stage
