London, November 12 A DJ touring with Britney Spears has slammed Australian press for savaging the star's mimed performances in the country.

DJ Havana Brown, who has been opening the concerts for the pop princess on her Circus tour, hit out at the local media, urging the singer be left alone.

"I think it's quite well known that she has lip-synced in the past. I don't think it's any surprise to anybody," the Daily Star quoted Brown as saying.

"There was nothing like that (media reaction) in Europe. I think everyone knew what they were in for, and I think everyone should know here as well.

"I'm not quite sure what the fuss is about. It's sad. I want everyone to make their own opinion, rather than be persuaded by what's been in the media," Brown added. (ANI)
