Pretty sure even Britney skeptics were won over by her show last night. It was easy to see why it takes a small army to put on this show.
Britney Spears pop-rocked the Alerus Center on Saturday night in an over-the-top Big Top performance that had everything – leather-clad acrobats descending from the ceiling, sexy scantily clad dancers and an amazing-looking star – but very little live music.
Still, who cares? Lip-synching or singing live, she had the audience right where she wanted them, thrilled and screaming at her “Circus” show.
[...]
By the time the concert was in full force, the seats in the Alerus appeared to be nearly full. There was a lot of space on the floor as fans naturally crowded close to the three-ring circus stage. The love seats that lined the stage – seats that cost $500 – were sold out.
Most people in the audience fell into the age 16 to 30 range, and many were women. Some wore jeans, T-shirts and flip-flops, but there were plenty of short skirts and high heels, leggings with tight racer-back tees, and off-the-shoulder tunics. There was a strong back-to-the-’80s vibe.
Pretty sure it was a couple hundred seats short of a sold out concert. After the concert the Alerus Center exploded onto the rest of Grand Forks – as concert goers made the streets seem like midday instead of almost midnight. Downtown was also EXTREMELY busy – most bars had lines of 20 or more by 12:30am. I knew of people as far away as Alberta and the Twin Cities making there way up to the concert. Again, a great get for Grand Forks and the Alerus Center. Britney made a b-line to the airport, at least I would have to believe she had to, as she has to be in NYC today for the MTV Video Music Awards.
Later.
