Controversy erupted after her first Perth show when one journalist finally worked out what the world had known for years , that Britney lip-synchs many of her songs on stage. The story claiming a mass walk-out by the audience after three songs was quickly denied by the venue.

In a statement today, the pop star said, 'I hear there is a lot of controversy in the media about my show. Some reporters have said they love it and some don't. I came to Australia for my fans!'

Britney spent yesterday shopping in Collins St, Melbourne.
