AceShowbiz - Britney Spears has a lot to say to haters who claim that she never sings live. While preparing her performance in Tel Aviv, the 35-year-old singer recently appeared on an Israeli TV show to address lip-sync accusations which have bothered her mind for decades.
Britney admitted that she sometimes uses a backing track because she also needs to do very active and explosive choreography throughout her show. However, it annoys her that people don't give her enough credit for it while she only tries to do her best onstage. "I'm glad you're addressing this question because it's really funny," she said.
"A lot of people think that I don't sing live. I usually, because I'm dancing so much, I do have a little bit of playback, but there's a mixture of my voice and the playback. It really pisses me off because I am busting my a** out there and singing at the same time and nobody ever really gives me credit for it, you know?" the "Toxic" singer added.

This obviously wasn't the first time Britney sparked such rumors. Back in 2014, her tour manager, Adam Leber, addressed the lip-sync rumors during the songstress' Las Vegas residency. "To put on the show that she puts on, it's virtually impossible to sing the entire time and do what she does," Adam explained. "She's singing on every song, basically, when she has the ability to sing. There's no way you can dance for 90 minutes straight and sing the entire time."
