Hundreds of angry fans stormed out of a Britney Spears concert in Perth, Australia, this week, accusing the pop star of shamelessly lip-synching her way through most of her hits.

An Australian judge said he was considering requiring Spears to disclose on tickets that she doesn’t actually sing in the concerts.
