We were impressed with Spears' stamina through an obviously demanding show with choreography that involved a lot of climbing up the various levels in the set and covering the long catwalk on the stage, though part of it had a Jamiroquai-style conveyer belt. If she was winded, she kept it from the audience until the moments when she was lowered offstage. As far as vocal expectations for Spears, we had none: We came for sequins as opposed to singing, and that particular objective was more than met. But anyone who suspects -- as we did in our last report on her live performance -- that she lip-synchs during her shows will be happy to know that on Saturday, she did seem to have a couple of fleeting moments of actual singing underneath her tracks. That's not this entertainer's forte, though, and we don't care: It's Britney, bitch. Check out more photos from the show in our slideshow from Saturday night. Critic's Notebook Personal bias: We have a deep appreciation for sequins and sparkle owing to a childhood spent as a competitive figure skater. Her dizzying changes into outfits including a Swarovski crystal-encrusted white leotard, a shiny pink latex and lace coat, a gold-mirrored Egyptian bikini, and a pair of chrome-studded Daisy Dukes were great fun to watch. Random detail: A few of the official shirts for sale were cute, but our favorite was a homemade one we spotted on a blond chick that said, "It's Whitney, bitch!" Go ahead, Whitney. By the way: Spears' gorgeous costumes were designed by Zaldy Goco, who also created outfits for Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour and what would have been Michael Jackson's final performances.----
