Britney Spears concert chronology

The (You Drive Me) Crazy Tour[1] (also known as the Crazy 2k Tour[2]) was the second concert tour by American entertainer Britney Spears, launched in support of her first and second studio albums, ...Baby One More Time (1999) and Oops!... I Did It Again (2000), respectively. The tour was formulated as a continuation of the ...Baby One More Time Tour (1999) and as a prelude to the then-upcoming Oops!... I Did It Again Tour (2000). It was sponsored by Got Milk? and Polaroid.[3][4][5]

The tour was divided into various segments, with each segment being followed by an interlude into the next segment, ending with an encore. The setlist consisted of nine songs, with seven tracks from ...Baby One More Time and two from Oops!... I Did It Again, her then-upcoming album. The show was recorded and broadcast on Fox, and a DVD entitled Britney Spears: Live and More! was released in November 2000.

Background and development

On December 17, 1999, during the premiere of the music video for "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" on Total Request Live, Spears called the show to announce March US tour dates. The tour was designed as a continuation of the ...Baby One More Time Tour and a prelude to her future world tour.[6][7] The leg's main sponsor was Got Milk?. Media director Peter Gardiner explained, "Britney is magic with teen-age girls, and that's an absolutely crucial target for milk". Spears shot an advertising campaign to be shown before her performances began.[8] The secondary sponsor was Polaroid and the corporation released the Polaroid I-Zone as the official camera of the tour. Spears also used the I-Zone onstage to take pictures of the audience and further promote the product.[9]

The stage of the (You Drive Me) Crazy Tour was similar to that of the ...Baby One More Time Tour, although much bigger.[3] There were many special effects, including smoke machines and fireworks that erupted during the show. There was a giant projection screen that resembled the magical mirror from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Also present was a mechanical magic carpet in which Spears sat and flew over the first 100 feet above the crowd.[10] Spears, who had five costumes changes during the show, was joined on stage by eight dancers.[7] The setlist consisted of nine songs, seven from her debut album and two songs from her then-upcoming album, Oops!... I Did It Again (2000).[7]

Concert synopsis

The show began with a “high school”-themed skit, in which the dancers walked out from a row of student lockers, remaining onstage until a school bell sounded. They all sat at their desks as a female “teacher” called their names for attendance. Upon calling the name “Spears”, Britney Spears appeared at the top of a staircase amidst a cloud of smoke, wearing a tight top and white stretch-pants. At this point, all on-stage performed a short dance mix of "…Baby One More Time".[7] Spears then entered one of the lockers and appeared in another one on the opposite end of the stage, to perform "(You Drive Me) Crazy".[11] Spears then briefly spoke to the audience, continuing the “intimate” moment with "Born to Make You Happy" and "I Will Be There". After a dance interlude, Spears appeared again, this time sitting on a magic carpet which lifted over the audience, singing "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know". When she returned to the stage, she performed the then-brand-new song "Oops!... I Did It Again". Spears addressed the audience again before the "Who is the Ultimate Heartbreaker?" interlude, in which her dancers chose a male audience member to come onstage.[1] Spears then took to the stage wearing a different jacket and dedicated a performance of "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" to the lucky audience member chosen.[11] She took off her jacket to reveal a pair of black pants that featured a sequined red heart in the back and performed a cover of Sonny and Cher’s hit "The Beat Goes On". After two interludes and an introduction of her dancers and band members, Spears went-on to perform her hit "Sometimes". The encore consisted of a dance-oriented performance of "...Baby One More Time".[1]

Critical response

Jae-Ha Kim of the Chicago Sun-Times said that Spears "showed why she has got a leg up on blonder competitors such as Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore. Aguilera may have a better voice (and a Grammy to validate it), but Spears has that 'it' factor that worked for pinup queens of the past, such as Farrah Fawcett".[12] Adam Graham of Central Michigan Life commented that "although the show was only about 10 songs long and the authenticity of her voice was in question throughout, it was really truly hard to walk away feeling anything but completely gratified".[1] Dave Tianen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel believed that the show "was energetic, good-humored, fast-paced and bright".[10]

During the tour, accusations of lip synching arose. Spears talked to Rolling Stone about the accusations, saying,

"There's a delay in the screen above me, so if you listen to the music and watch the screen, they don't sync up. I think that confuses people. But I'm singing every song. I'm singing my ass off. [...] There are times during the show, when I'm dancing so much, where I get out of breath, and we have a signal where I'm dying and they'll help me out. Believe me, I'd give anything to do a show where I just sit there and sing".[7]
