Britney Spears bounced back into the spotlight at The House Of Blues in San Diego on May 1 - the entertainment venue that forms part of the highly anticipated 5-star luxury condo-hotel, developed by renowned hotelier Steve Rebeil. The show was her first public concert appearance of Britney Spears in nearly three years. Local fans and San Diego residents paid more than $125 for a ticket to see a performance by "The M&Ms". An hour after the doors opened Spears' name was announced, to everyone's surprise.
The 25-year-old mother of two appeared onstage and performed her classic hits complete with an air-bound choreographed dance routine. "Thanks everyone for coming," she told the club, filled to capacity.
Britney Spears continued her comeback mini-tour the next night, performing the same routine of older hits from her show the night before. Security was tighter in Anaheim. It took the crowd nearly two hours to get through the metal detectors with guards seizing cell phones in an apparent reaction to the flood of pictures and videos of the San Diego show on the Internet.
The lights dimmed on the stage, empty save for a single white chair. The crowd exploded into screams and applause as the four backup dancers appeared, two on each side, snaking their way across the stage. As the first strains of "... Baby One More Time" became recognizable, Spears emerged in a brown wig, white go-go boots, a white mini-skirt and a sparkling pink bikini top. The set was a short medley of Spears's hits, with "I'm a Slave 4 U" following "... Baby One More Time" and the crowd showering the pop star with shouts of approval each time she wiggled her hips.
The lights dimmed after the second song, going a soft red, with the back-up dancers exiting the stage and leaving Britney alone to strut slowly to the lone chair as "Breathe On Me" started. The crowd roared as she seductively gyrated on the chair before her dancers returned and pulled a male fan from the audience to be serenaded by Britney Spears.
A brief interlude allowed Spears to change into a tiny denim skirt, a plain pink bra and a short, white fur coat. Her "Do Something" routine included some air guitar, a lot of the hands-on-hips hip thrusts and a brief homage to the running man dance move. Spears dropped her fur coat to the floor for the final song, "Toxic," and smiled as she mouthed the words. The crowd once again roared its approval when she and her dancers dropped to all fours and crawled in formation down the stage. Spears then popped up to her knees and posed with her dancers around her as the song and the lights came to a simultaneous and abrupt end.
As the lights came back up and the crowd showered her with adoration, she blew kisses with both hands and said, "Thank you so much. These are my dancers," before skipping offstage, leaving her four backups to soak up the applause.
Audience members gave the show positive reviews overall. The last Britney's comeback performance in Miami was held in "Mansion" nightclub.
