Britney Spears had fans walk out on her Australian concert Friday night (Nov. 6) due to the "crappiness" of her performance, according to RadarOnline.

Three songs into her show, hundreds of fans reportedly left in anger over her lack of singing -- a.k.a. lip-syncing -- skills.

"We are really big Britney fans, but it was crap," Josh Blee told local reporters. "She has let us down."

Added Amanda Hawlet, who drove two hours to Perth's Burswood Dome, "I want my money back or I want her to sing properly. It cost me half a week's wage ... it was a waste."

Concert-goers paid between $182 and $1,370 to see Spears.

The Australian government is considering making Spears reveal which songs she will not perform live for future shows.

Is Britney the biggest culprit of lip-syncing? If not, who is?
