Britney has sold out every single concert. She's doing pretty good. I agree that Russia and Europe should send more performers over here.

Well, she hasn't been doing very well in Canada or the US, so maybe she will do better at this first concert here in Russia. I was looking at her picture in this article and I must say that someone has altered her looks quite a bit. Her picture almost does not look like her. It would be nice to see some Russian performers come to Canada and the US
