Britney Spears is said to be "extremely upset" by reports that fans in Australia walked out of a show because she was miming. Some of the crowd in Perth reportedly left after just three songs on Friday, though Spears' promoter denies that. The pop star is performing 15 concerts in Australia as part of the 'Circus' tour. John Mayer has defended Spears for lip synching in Perth. The ‘Gravity’ singer – who is also in Australia promoting his latest album – blasted fans who had called for a refund after the ‘Womanizer’ star’s show in Perth after she sparked outrage by not singing live for her whole performance. John wrote on his twitter blog: “If you're shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you." Britney, 27, was said to have hidden in her hotel room on Saturday following her performance on Friday night. A representative for the star said: "Britney is aware of all this and she's extremely upset by it." Fans protested about the high ticket prices and “impersonal” nature of the show. Concertgoer Wendy Di Renzo, 36, said: "It was so impersonal. She did not interact with her audience. There were no big TV screens projecting the action, so if you didn't know Britney, you might have even doubted it was her." Complaints against the ‘Gimme More’ singer also included that she never referred to Perth by name, instead giving a generic welcome to fans, saying: "What's up Australia?" Another fan, who left the show early, said: "I want my money back or I want her to sing properly. The ticket cost me $200 and she lip-synched the whole thing." Politicians in three Australian states – Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales – have now called for new laws to force music promoters to disclose whether a concert will be live or lip-synched beforehand. Spears will next perform in Melbourne on November 11. Britney Spears Nipple Candids Leaving Her Hotel In Perth
