Britney gives first public concert in nearly three years
Ap, San Diego
Britney Spears strutted her way back to centre stage with a short, sexy set at the House of Blues believed to be her first public concert appearance in nearly three years.The erstwhile pop star, more recently derided as a pop tart for her highly public forays into midnight carousing, appeared to be back in top form. The 25-year-old mother of two went onstage late Tuesday wearing a long brown wig, covering the head she shaved in February. She launched a short set with her classic Baby One More Time, using a cafe chair as a burlesque prop while she pranced around the small club stage backed up by four dancers. Spears sped through the songs -- all standards from her earlier albums -- wrapping up after less than 15 minutes. She gave a shy goodbye before an old Madonna song came on over the sound system. "Thanks everyone for coming," she told the packed club.
