The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour officially kicked off last night in New Orleans (as if I have to remind y'all), and the critics LOVED it! Here's what they had to say:

"[It's a] big, huge, loud, funny, nonsensical three-ring affair... She looks great in her myriad of outfits, and she can still move with the best of them." —MTV News

"...the show is a non-stop, exhilarating assault on the eyes, a visual extravaganza. There is a LOT that Britney does. She danced like she hasn't danced in a very long time... and she seemed to be having a great time throughout the whole show. You could tell by the huge grin that appeared on her face throughout the evening. From flying sets, smoke, wind, pyro, this concert has it all. But it's biggest asset is definitely Spears herself." —Perez Hilton

"...looking trim and showing lots of midriff and cleavage, she commands attention amid the chaos surrounding her." —USA Today

"...acrobats twirled from suspended fabric as Spears sang and danced, showing off her toned body with flirty, seductive moves." —Associated Press

"...the radiant ringleader proved she's a "put on a show kind of girl" as she captivated thousands of screaming fans in the Big Easy." —Entertainment Tonight

"...[Britney fans] want lavish productions, insane choreography and spectacle, spectacle, spectacle! Well, that's exactly what they were given. All in all, it seemed like the kick off was a resounding success." —NY Post

Now for our most important critics of all... YOU. What'd ya think? xx♥
