Britney's back
Troubled pop princess Britney Spears has given her first concert in nearly three years, a little more than a month after coming out of rehab and reaching a divorce settlement.
The teen idol put on a 20-minute show in front of a few hundred revelers at San Diego's House of Blues nightclub, lip-syncing her way through a handful of her most popular hits, local media reports said.
The impromptu concert came after a tumultuous several months that saw Miss Spears give birth to her second child, file for divorce and shave her head before checking into a rehab clinic.
Tuesday's show was billed as a concert by an unknown band called the M&Ms, but word that Miss Spears was to perform had spread like wildfire on the Internet in the days leading up to the event.
The pop star's comeback performance received mixed reviews from those in the audience, who reportedly had shelled out up to $500 on the black market for $35 tickets to the show.
"It wasn't a good move for her career," ticket holder Mackenzie Trimble told the San Diego Tribune. "When you come out and do four songs and lip-sync ... that's not what Britney fans came to see."
One female fan was impressed, though.
"She worked the stage; her body looked great. So it was good to see her finally come back and prove us all wrong," the fan told Los Angeles television station KNBC.
According to Time magazine, Miss Spears has sold more than 76 million records worldwide.
