Britney Spears’ uninspired VMA performance
Posted on September 9th, 2007Britney Spears comeback on the MTV VMA Awards was a lip synced amateurish performance. Britney came out on stage to open the show with a close up of her blue eyes and straight blond hair. She went on to stumble her way through her new single “Gimme More” wearing a sparkly black bikini and black stockings. If that wasn’t bad enough Sarah Silverman’s opening monologue was even more painful! She started off with a 5 minute rip job on Britney that resulted in heckling from the crowd to leave her alone and then went on a joke bombing epic not seen on TV before. Judging by the initial 10 minutes the 2007 VMAs are going to be an utter disappointment!
You tell me!!

I think for her coming back from what she’s been through the performance was good. Her body is amazing for having two kids. Her performance was probably on the safe side because 1. she was prob nervous as ever and 2. shes performing infront of everyone who knows what happend and 3. she hasnt been on stage in years

Britney was terrible, the show was awful, but Sarah was funny.
September 10th, 2007 at 12:17 pm
You thought Sarah was funny? i thought she was awful and just mean. She just insulted Britney after she had the worst performance ever. The girl was feeling bad enough!
Chris Brown should have opened the show!

Britney should either retire or reinvent herself into some type of act that doesn’t depend on her showing her stomach. The older she gets the worse shape she will be in….and she’s only 25 now. It doesn’t make sense for her to bank a career on trying to look hot forever if she’s going to keep drinking. I don’t feel sorry for Britney. She’s made a money with zero talent just because people like to look at train wrecks in the tabloids.

Ashley, Brit does not look good for having had two kids. She’s only 25 and she looks 40! She doesn’t have to do her own house work or watch her own kids. She has lots of free time and could hire a personal trainer if she wanted. The fact is she has ruined her looks because of her drinking and it’s her fault….no one else’s.

Okay I’ll admit that the performance wasn’t that great, and I’ll also admit that she has done stupid things in order to make money and get publicity but I don’t agree that shes fat! I mean, what kind of world are we living in when people are calling a body like that fat. In my opinion she looked good… especially for someone who has had children. Let me ask you this Pam, is a body like Nicole Richie’s body normal to you? I mean are you sick in the head? You seriously need a reality check, perhaps some counseling, if you thought she looked 40!!! I’m sure a lot of 40 year old women would LOVE to look like that. Pam I’m sorry you grew up not knowing that all people come in different shapes and sizes and can still look great. I’m sorry that your idea of looking good is probably being anorexic and I’m extremely sorry that you’re one of those superficial jacka**es that the world can definitely do without. You can try having some sympathy for her… it’s called having a heart. Maybe even taking into consideration, like Ashley O has done, the fact that she’s obviously going through a lot of problems that you, or anyone else for that matter, cannot comprehend. I agree that it took a lot of balls for her to even step on stage and try it again after all shes been through. Sure it wasn’t perfect but at least she picked herself up and took another swing at it. Pam I think you should stop being so judge mental, okay, and open your eyes to a different kind of beauty. Not the kind that the magazines or the television show you.

You spas will make any excuse for a lousy performance. Like her plastic body has anything to do with talent. She can’t even sing live, why do you think she wont. Heres to hoping the next attempted suicide is not a failure.
September 11th, 2007 at 3:22 am
I think that Britney did ok for her first big public performence. Everyday in life we all know of ” normal” people who’s lives have spiralled out of control. Well imagine trying to cope with the intense stuff but in the very public eye and still all at the young age that she is. Even when she hit rock bottom and was bassically crying out for help she got slated. maybe she has turned herself into a victim of her own circumstances but jeez everybody deserves a break sometime. i hope she does sort herself out and grows up stronger from her experiences but with the world against her the poor girl dont stand a chance.

worst hair ever she would have been better of wearing a wig to cover here barely grow back hair then that weave/ She didn’t even dance or sing she stumbled and humped. She was bad and she is never coming back adults wont listen to her cuz she has no talent and parents wont let there kids listen to her cuz she dresses like and tramp in front of her own kids and all she ever sings about is sex.
September 11th, 2007 at 7:06 am
Give the Girl a break…ok it was not her best…but hey
she will get better….
September 11th, 2007 at 7:40 am
Ok, Britney’s performance wasn’t the best that night, but, at least she has put an effort to do something other than go to rehab. And, this is pretty surprising because what all happened in early 2007 and the divorce thing and whatever. She’s doing pretty good after having 2 kids, going through adivorce, shaving her head lol, wild nights with Paris, and going to Rehab, in and out.

When reading the stories about Britney’s awful performance at the VMA’s (and it was awful), i couldn’t help but notice the references to her being out of shape. What is wrong with you people, don’t you realize that your idiocy is the reason 13 year old girls are refusing to eat and sticking their fingers down their throat? I am disgusted by the way you people think that in order to be “in shape” you have to be wearing a size 0. News flash people SKINNY IS NOT IN SHAPE! That girl looks great, especially for someone who has given birth to 2 children. Maybe she should do something where she doesn’t have to show her stomach, Pam, you are an IDIOT!!! I hope, as a mother of two little girls myself, that you don’t have any children, because I pity them for having a shallow-minded moron for a mother.
I would like to point out that I also do not agree with the way Britney is raising her kids. The girl obviously need help in many ways. The performance just highlighted the fact that she is taking some kind of drug and needs to find help for that along with some tips on properly raising children.
My point in the diatribe is that there are many important problems that Britney needs to face. Her weight is not one of them.
Anyone who looks at that drug addled and sad performance and only comments about the way she looks has a few problems of their own. Think about what you’re saying!!!

Andrea –
I agree that she wasn’t horribly out of shape for a person. You put her in a pair of jeans, a tank top,see her at a bar on a saturday night and she will turn heads as a normal person. However, she is a performer on a worldwide stage that was known for a tight stomach and great body – not stick figure body but a nice body. You come out unprepared after all night parties, look confused on stage, and wear an outfit that will show off what you haven’t gotten tight yet and people will talk. She should have went with a one piece outfit or a corset.
September 11th, 2007 at 8:45 am
I just wanted to say…. no she is not fat after having 2 kids… most mothers of 2 kids would die to have her body… Yes, her performance was off, her dancing wasn’t that great, but being a mother you don’t have 24 hours a day to practice. She needs to show confidence and work on her dancing. She’s been through a lot. I like her new song though, she just needs to work on her performance.
September 11th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
I think everybody needs to mind their own business and leave Britney alone. For the past year, everyone has been talking about her, and in reality you don’t know what she is going through. I thought her performance wasn’t “Britney.” She usually has a lot of energy and a fun performance, but that doesn’t mean she is washed up or her career has ended. Give her a break!! You don’t know what she is going through or how she feels!! Even though all that crap was in the news and magazines about her, I still love her and her music. Britney is human, but since she is in the spotlight, everyone has something say and have to judge her. Give it a rest!! I’m so tired of it!! At least she is trying!! People need to stop saying what Britney needs to do, how she needs to act,what kind of mother she needs to be, and worry about their own life.

I just had to write about this, i didnt stay up to watch the live show cause I really never liked Britney, but I saw the replays. I just have to say she was really really bad & people just need to stop talking about her so she can fall into obscurity and no one will have to see or hear from her again. I know Im talking about her but i’ve sat idly by for the last decade hearing stupid junk about how great she is when she cant even sing. I love the people who are happy to admit that she has no talent! People are blind sided by the computer manipulated tunes, flashy costumes and sexy dancing she does and finally she’s falling apart and everyone including the media are admitting it. If she was a great songstress like her fans claim then she would be able to belt out Amazing Grace acapella with out preperation. She couldnt even sing live for the VMA’s!!! And to anyone who thinks she was too busy to pratice taking care of her kids, your dreaming!! She was out till 3 am partying while her exhusband had a birthday party for her kids. Please people be informed before you try to defend her. And besides this was her so called COME BACK, regardless of the problems she had with practicing, her hair stylist and Sara Silverman (to name a few of her excuses) if you knew this performance was that important in your career you’re not going to blow it!!! Its her job to perform and just like everyday normal people you cant let your life problems interupt your work!! And dont tell me not to compare her to everyday normal people cause then dont defend her being fat!!! Yhea she looks good for an average person after having 2 kids but she’s not!! shes on nationals tv wearing a bikini. I’v always thought she was fat cause she has a thick waist and fat thighs, a little pouch does not help her. And as for her being a rollmodel for 13 year olds. She herself said she does not want to be a rollmodel for anyone except her little sister. She’s fat people get over it!!!

Yea…the backup dancers were way better than she was. I don’t think she’s fat, but she is definately talentless!
September 11th, 2007 at 5:30 pm
What was her hair doing? I mean seriously. Her extensions were lighter than her hair. And she had some serious roots. ALSO. She really needs to get past this, “I wanna look like a dirty slut” stage. Because she HAS KIDS! Moms should NOT dress like that. Famous or not. She needs to grow up and act twenty-five. And start being a mom for her kids. Not trying to go back to the glory that she had years ago. She had her fifteen minutes of fame, and she needs to just let herself fade, instead of being like a fish out of water and trying desperately to be hot again.
EVERYONE gets divorces. It’s an everyday occurrence. So stop being like..”ohhh wahhh my life is a black abyss. Feel sorry for me because I was stupid enough to date and marry one of my back-up dancers.” I don’t feel bad for her at all. She’s a horrible mother, apparently a horrible wife, a horrible singer and performer, and she needs to just go ahead and go to a psych ward until she can work out her oh-so horrible life. Kthnx.

i would love to see a performer who is actually talented.. underline the word talented in your mind please! I bet anyone that Britney couldn’t tell you what the difference is between A Major and A minor. We need to stop publicizing performers who dance around like little hoes in their degrading tiny outfits and start glorifying people who are like normal people who can play instruments and sing without lip syncing! I don’t think she was fat in that video, she looked rather normal. Just because she wasn’t imitating twiggy doesn’t mean she’s obese. She should have worn something that didn’t make her look like trash. hmm, i dunno, maybe a shirt for instance! Or ya know, pants! and she should have at LEAST known the words to her song… I’m pretty sure i would do a better job at that performance and i have never heard that song before. well, can’t go on forever about it i suppose. All i know is Britney should get a grip and quick.
September 12th, 2007 at 12:16 am
Britney Spears looked hot! Damn! For a girl after two kids, she looked a-freakin’-amazing. Give the girl a break. It was a safe performance, not necessarily bad……but the spectacle that people were expecting and gossiping about, the overall hype pre-show was what did the performance in.
September 12th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
Well that was fun. Anyone know what’s going on in Iraq?
September 12th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
to me it was like watcing a stripper dance.. except she didn’t deserve to get paid… it was terrible and tastless…. her career is over… she needs to focus on her kids
September 12th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
yeah i agree w/ashley. she obvioulsy has been through a lot. but that doesnt take away the fact that her performance was bad. she just didnt feel comfortable with herself or her song. she reallly doesnt have much class.
September 12th, 2007 at 7:42 pm
ok look ppl. brit wasn’t that bad. can’t say it was her best performance, but still…..love the song. only thing i ahv eto say is wat the hell was she thinking wearing a bra and a little thong? she DOESN’T have a body. her stomach sticks out, her boobs are waaayyyy too big, adn she just needs to chill and focus on her kids and stop dropping them.
September 12th, 2007 at 8:18 pm
Brit did well for not performing in quite a while, she looked nervous and opening a show after all these years couldn’t have been easy. She does look good for having 2 kids. C-Sections can really breakdown a tummy so if you haven’t had one don’t complain about her figure, I am sure she is still working on it and will sure be amazing before long. Too many haters out there, need to focus more on was the song something you want to hear or would you buy instead of what has happened to her or how she looks. We have a lot of entertainers out there that only stand and sing and are much more than overweight and we just rave about them. Give the girl a break…
September 16th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
im not rally sure wat the big deal is ppl? there are a bunch of great ppl in the world who are selfless and help others and all we can do is talk about britney this, beyonce that. they’re just ppl who sing and dance!!!!!!!!!! they don’t do anything for the world!!!!!!!!! they do drugs, and they mess up thier lives, and they’re followed around by ppl everywhere. guess wat? i can sing better than britney and im a great dancer but noone follows me around. GET OVER IT!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
How do you know what these people do for the world??? Sounds like you got some issues we can all talk about. If you can sing so great then soon you will be followed around and hounded like the rest of them are and then you can feel brit’s pain along with the rest of the celbs out there – the good ones and the bad ones. So TIRED take a nap.
