'This sh*t is hard, y'all. I'm beat. Who the hell do you think I am, Madonna?'

'At 12 lip-syncing, gum-chomping minutes, the show was two minutes short of the previous evening's sprint through her hits; with a pair of shows under her belt, she should be able to get that down to under 10 in West Hollywood tonight.

In fact, with her confidence quickly returning, a 4-minute show isn't out of the question, consisting of nothing more than a bewigged Spears emerging in a bathrobe and taking a seat in that single, spotlighted white chair as "I'm a Slave 4 U" begins to blare, then announcing, "This sh*t is hard, y'all. I'm beat. Who the hell do you think I am, Madonna?

She's got energy because she buys her babies now. My ladybusiness is tired, for real. You seen it," before cracking open the can of Red Bull from which she will slowly sip for the duration of the song.'
