Days after Britney Spears addressed rumours about lip-syncing while performing, she belted a very classic ‘Happy Birthday’ to a long-time friend.

 

Britney, who is on tour in Singapore, surprised her fans by singing ‘Happy Birthday’ … acapella style!

 

“I have a really special friend tonight. He’s been with me — I’m gonna cry — for like five years.  He’s one of my favourite people. His name is Jacob. Everyone, let’s sing ‘Happy Birthday’!” Britney told the crowd.

 

The birthday tribute was dedicated to Britney’s bodyguard, Jacob and one of her backup dancers held a small cake on stage with a sparking candle.

 

During a tour stop in Tel Aviv, Britney confronted her critics in an interview and had this to say about lip-syncing: “It’s really funny: A lot of people think I don’t sing live. … Because I’m dancing so much, I do have a little bit of playback, but there’s a mixture of my voice and the playback. It really pisses me off because I’m busting my ass out there and singing at the same time and nobody ever gives me credit for it, you know?”
