Britney Spears - Gimme more (VMA Rehersals without Britney)

[htti31]

even if brit had looked hot and danced the right way, there's nothing iconic about this performance how the oops strip tease, slave snake, and kiss with madonna were...

not hatin on the choreo, ii loove it but it doesnt feel like britneys style...maybe it was the way the stand in (who's also the choreographer) was dancing

[LadyAyla1]

@htti31 yeah but she wanted to take a break from the dancing and sing more live. She was trying to go with that but she was going through a depression. As she said not all performances are good. Some days you have really Great performances and some times you just ain't feeling it.

[215ohmygod]

britney didn't do all that, watch her documentary and u'll know why

[qwerty7573]

this is just not britney dance style!she's more pudic (some way) I don't know...maybe cause she is just brit!

[itsjustsexxx]

Britney did this choreo almost exactly the same. What she was missing was the sharpness and energy. The routine was very lackluster to be honest.

[Littlewater]

I think she should have took a breather and then did this performance full on after the awards at her next show...cause this number is really good in completion.

[serbianboy2100]

she grabs that dude for balls ??;DDD

[eddyBezzle]

i think no one can judge Britney, she was going trough hell at that point! plus i still ike hers better.. She has a powerful presence.. no one can take her place or even get close to her.. im honestly proud of her, i probably would've died if i go tru all the shit she went trough

[sowbran]

dammm i love to see how the blond girl in the back in 00:24 move his ass very hottt ;)

[evenpokzo]

she's good but not look natural

[anydoubt]

Who is the dancer number 13? in 1.31

[sofiafatalle]

Acutally to the minute 1:53 to 1:57 it was different, there's move dance moves

[Yaotix]

@sofiafatalle Actually, that's just from when the camera zoomed out.

[Littlewater]

@sofiafatalle No ma'am, if you watch the performance..the background dancers do every move you see here even if the camera only cathces a second of it. Britney didnt complete about 70 percent of the moments but the camera focused on her so you dont see what the audience saw which was her basically standing there with little more than a two step and sway. Thats why everyone in the audience is like..OMG.

[sofiafatalle]

@Littlewater

what a lazy bitch she is

[sofiafatalle]

@Littlewater

they didn't lift her either

but that's because she was about 9999999999999 pounds

[syahmonteiro]

OMG, I love 1:53

[Yogger94]

although this girl is fricking amazing, and i think she is top, britney even drunk did some moves better like the bit when she hits the lad to the ground and then swings up !! everyones gotta face it but britney has style even pre shaved head and after shaved head, britney owns choreography and fair play to the girl i think everyone needs to lay off brit for a while !! shes doing amazing

[NikolaLohan]

I like more the version where Britney was so drunk, and still looking sexy !!!!

[juv3ntin]

even though i would like to give a shout out and say the girl in this video did a great job, I think ANYONE of the girls in this great dance crew would of owned that performance, because the coregraph just puts the "star"in a great great light.

[aljee20]

old britney wouldve killed this!

[HarrLable]

who choreographed the performance for Britney?

[LaSerpentaCanta]

Is the girl dancing in britney's place the choreographer?? god it must suck to be a dancer lol, never in the real spotlight, but oh well, it's still exciting.

[LaSerpentaCanta]

WOW, that dancing looks fantastic. In all seriousness, gimme more is one of her best songs and this performance could've been epic had she not been drunk or drugged. Do we know what happened to her? was it alcohol? drugs?

[Branigan4ever]

From looking at this, Britney only did about 60-70% of what she was supposed to.

[MoonPhaseHazuki]

its okay i guess but britney was going through bad things at the time and i'm so glad i wasn't paying attention to britney at the time i would have said she was bad but now looking and analyzing the timeline she went through alot and i wouldn't have paid attention i was 10 years old at the time playing pokemon xD but LOVE YOU BRIT YOUR STILL AT THE TOP

[RuuBjAh1]

I wonder how her career would've looked like if she had done this choreo and didn't mess up @ the VMAs... I think Blackout would've def gone #1...

[greekqueen]

britney rehearsed for this show for five weeks, but had a meltdown on the actual night, wore her own choice of clothes, sacked the hairdresser and had way too much to drink backstage, hence the crap performance, she was going through a lot at that time

[cmonge315]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!

[AnonymousJae]

Still kind of looks messy to me..and i think the girl in place of britney looks like she's over doing the dance moves. but overall it's shitty choreography..

[ch33s3ynoodle]

Britney should have went to rehearsals more for the performance.

[Remolizzo]

That girl is kinda sexy...

[PSIMERMAID]

britney is a good dancer because she does her own thing that makes her pop out of the back up dancers, this girl fits in the back up dancers to much

[stavrosniarchos]

1:52 until 1:58 - awesome moves!!!

[kokym8]

when i saw "without britney" i really laughed ! it's so sad that she's busy to do not come to the rehearsal cuz she's drinking and going to bad parties !

[Amnesiac18]

@kokym8 hahahahaha.,... u r right...

[76special]

damn Britney, why you couldn't do it like this at the VMAS?

[xxcharmed1xx]

sorry, no one can do it better than britney.

[Amnesiac18]

@xxcharmed1xx r u blind???!!!! this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Britney's... ACCEPT IT!!!!!

[xxcharmed1xx]

@Amnesiac18 thats your opinion, not mine. get over it!

[Amnesiac18]

@xxcharmed1xx I thinj u r the one who needs to get over it.... Well... Just my opinion... Xya!!!

[GoeatMacnCheese]

It's literally ridiculous...cuz if you look at the practices, they look like this

[itsdanbitch92]

i dont know why you people think this girl is sooo good she is stiff! britney let loose and she won that stage in my vision!

[sagittablack]

nice! i love this. i wish i could dance like u guys.

[kikicreamify]

A little too theatrical for an award show, otherwise its good. This is why britney needs to fire the mess of choreographers she is using recently and higher wade robson back.

[prettygrl222]

@kikicreamify she hired the guy that choreographed MATM and boys, and overprotected for her new album.



[sociallyenhanced]

so sad.. THIS DANCE ROUTINE WAS EPIC/NOTHING SHORT OF SEXY AND HOT. In general the Blackout era was nothing short of sexy and hot. I can't stop trying to picture Britney as the stand in. The stand in definitely has the whole Britney mentality of Britney and her hair whips are exactly like hers too. LOVE IT! I would feel soo hot if I were dancing to this song with all the dancers.

[QueenPopBritneyTv]

you're the owner of this video? are you dancing hete?

[HDgalicc2]

This was better tan the Original, i'm a Britney fan but if she did like this it would have been amazing

[cdbbasssd123456789]

I'm not going to defend the 2007 VMA performance because it was a mess, but this isn't good either! The choreography is nothing spectacular and Britney DID execute all the major steps you see here in this video. The ONLY thing that distracted from her performance was her appearance. She shouldn't have worn the bikini and she should have had a stylist do her hair. Had she done that, it would have been nearly the same performance you see above.

[RainbowCuppercake]

@cdbbasssd123456789 exactly, i mean all they had to do was keep walking across the stage and do random dance moves-i mean, yah, i totally agree-if brit would have wore some of the pants like she wore in me against the music and like maybe a cute top and her hair different, i really think it could've been ok, i think it's amazing how she was going through that and still, she did that good! ok fill in dancer-lets see you go through what britney did at the time and still dance that good, exactly.

[checosss]

Does she get lifted up in the actual performance¿??

[HDgalicc2]

@checosss Nope

[checosss]

@HDgalicc2 so she just walks ... they didn't broadcasted that part, thanks! they just show some pole dancers instead.

[ccwe23]

brit wasnt even doing half these moves she was just standing around occasionally shaking her boobs

[theviolinist88]

this is WAY better without Britney! LOL

[oop1991]

love the choreo!!! i think britney should do exactly this performance again now! i'm sure it would be even better than the stand-in.... Britney has something special in her dancing that you can't teach, and that makes her amazing! and i think she did it great job for being in such a fucked up period of her life;) i think many wouldn't be able to do half as good as her in a situation like her!

[rubenv3]

que chula la coreografia!!

[KaRiNeiSHooN]

you're so great!!!

i love this song

[larry1505]

I dont really like this choreography.

even if britney did it 100% and excellent, she would had been criticized anyways because she didint dnce that much and only move.

[HLFBRD89]

comparing what she did to this rehearsal I don't think she didn't that bad. The only major difference was them lifting her up. But the entire routine isn't good enough period. That's not Britney's fault entirely.

[amazingme88]

This girl has put in a lot of effort. We can see that, but I would still prefer Britney's performance anytime, only Britney can move like Britney. But in this performance, it looks like the real thing, just that Britney's not in it. I mean were those the actual dancers for the VMAs, coz some of them strike very close resemblance. The guy who does a solo part with her....

[MonroseVila]

HER SHOES BROKE DURING THE PERFORMANCE. BUT THAT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER. BRITNEY DID HORRIBLE, WAS OUT OF IT, WAS TIPSY, DIDN'T TRY, HAD BAD WEAVE, AND THE CHOREO WAS SIMPLE, SHE SHOULD HAVE NAILED IT! THAT PERFORMANCE = HER OWN FAULT.

However, MTV didn't help much, their camera angles were purposely bad after they saw how bad Britney was going to do. AND the fog that covers Britney then disappears right before she says "Britney Bitch" (its in this video)... DIDNT HAPPEN ON THE ACTUAL ONE. T_T

[IfUSeekBritneySpears]

there was something wrong with her knee!!!

[FrostyBiite]

i bet you can't even do half of the choreography in here

[studmiami]

Love it !

[sefsup05]

Everyone needs to stop making excuses for the performance. Plain and simple, Britney blew it. Is the choreography astounding? Whichever answer you go with, it still doesn't make a difference. If yes, then she should've put effort into it. If no, then she should've nailed it anyway.

Yes, the shoe story is true, but it's also known that she had been partying for hours before the show and was pretty tipsy. Not smart to do before a comeback. She's back doing her thing, but 07 was not her year...

[nancymarie35]

i think it would b bettr with britney cuz she rocks!!!!!!!!

[stuartmb92]

The choreography sucks and I prefer Britney's performance as this girl dances like a 'white' girl - she just seems generic and lame.

[ashliyah100]

this choreography is messy to begin with this is one of the worst dances ive ever seen their no energy or nothing

[louisasmiles]

this could have gone one way or the other, i think the costumes made it terrible, and too much was going on...its a mess. watching this girl stand in i can see what they were tryna do. she is very good. the camera shots on the night were bad also..

[shositdosit]

I totally agree with you.. brit's costume was horrible! she should've put something more flattering!

[ThatsHotBtch]

This choreography was So Messy... too much going on...Compared to the rehersals I think Britney wasnt too far off this' considering what state she was in after having her children taken away, havind seedy drugy people around her'

[steveoyruhere08]

all that happened after the vmas lol

[larry1505]

this performance is not good,

[ulrek54321]

ur right, its great

[TaylaLouisaSexyChick]

this so puts britney 2 shame!!!!!

[nojolie]

thts wat i was thinkin

[Kehoe051]

OMG...

This girl should have performed instead...

Britney should have done it like this...

[mina2904]

Sorry but this is WAY better than the actual VMA performance. If she had done it just like this, it would have been superb. And I'm not even a Britney fan. But the young lady who stood in for her during this rehersal should definetly be given her kudos! She did a fantastic job!

[pantelas578]

dont forget that this is not a britney style, if britney danced like this she wouldnt be britney... plus her heels were broken, how can you dance like that in broken shoes? most of them cant even dance in them

and to be honest this girl is just a normal every day dancer, its different to have britneys style and its easy to cover a choreography that already excists... personally i dont like this girl

[modelspiceboi]

@pantelas578 Britney was wearing stilettos and they didn't seem broken during the show. However, even if they were, she was supporting her weight on her tiptoes anyway, the dancing shouldn't have been that affected unless she was doing a lot of heel leads.

[pantelas578]

no her shoes broke while dancing... and actually to be able to walk good enough you need the heel too... yes that affects the dancing... although there was more theatricality in it than proper dancing... its her new style, accept it, its still nice, you have to admit... this girl here is nothing than an impersonator of the choreo and if britney didnt perform she wouldnt even be able to dance the half moves of the choreo

[kikicreamify]

@mina2904 this is not a rehersal, lol

[Amnesiac18]

@mina2904 u r sooooooooooooooooooooooooo right..... and i'm a britney fan...

=/

[wwerulezzzz]

she had a hangover that night and didnt perform good

[MiroEnriquez]

wow all of the dancers are great. but i think some part of the choreography doesnt fit with britney's clothes that night like this part 1:55 .... just imagine.. haha!

[NiteOwl1224]

I love U brit! was that guy @ 2:24 supposed to walk off stage laeft when "I just can't control myself" whispered ?maybe it's just me...

[zefronftw]

he didnt walk off lol

[sefsup05]

@NiteOwl1224

he walked off. His dance had been done

:)

[Travdog1985]

this choreography is aweful! no wonder she sucked

so much walking around and no dancing

[1UTUBES1]

This performance is a lot better and the girl that is playing "Britney" did a waaay better job. Waaaay to go girl, who-ever you are...........

[hekutorito]

these are not the dancers that made the performance, i think is a lie this link

[nojolie]

thts wat i was thinkin

[farrincita]

wasn´t to bad, but hey we can lie she was weird dancing on stage we all know what was going on, after rehab she is better and better and now i´m proud by my favourite show woman Spears, and anyways this coreagraphy is so good, hopefully she could perfomance gimme more again!! awesome song!!

[will4819]

britney did better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sebasrm94]

where is britney?....

[braveisaac]

I love the chorus part of the choreography.. the way the male dancers come to the girls like predators.. it´s brilliant.

[keamel18]

OMG i thought that toooooo that was so original and amazing.

Look just *.* omgg

[oop1991]

Britney did a better job than this!! maybe it wasn't her best performance but it was OK!

[rafaelc5668]

eww this one sux good thing britney didn't dance to this one cuz this dance aint britney i like the way she danced at the vmas i don't know why other ppl dnt maybe cuz yall on crack or somthin but britneys dance is better then this peice of shit

[tsavdarwallace]

Britney didn't come close to this. That "charleston" move at 1:55, Britney didn't even attempt on the awards show.

[Darksorrow54]

wow she was that fat that they couldnt pick her up in the actual performance, weak girly male dancers...

[carlsonlf]

Actually, Britney messed up her timing. She fell too late. Just compare this performance to the actual one.

[Darksorrow54]

yea and dint going to risk her in the air lol

[readyfuels]

I wish Britney were doing this NOW. :[ She's still not dancing like she was supposed to for her ALLEGED comeback and this is her real one!

[killbilladdict]

The should have put the costume and a wig on the dancer and have her do the preformance. It was amazing without Britney. The dancer even Lip Syncs better than Britney.

[yenny9103]

now dat was a performance!! lol ...wow dat girl did really good but i love britney spears even if she did really bad im still goin to love her and give her all my support

[mariankus]

MUCHO MEJOR QUE BRITNEY SIN DUDA!

[uppereastsidegirle]

great job!

[ellenna41]

That was so....................wow!

[jellyxxxx]

that girl did better...Brit's moves were way weaker than they were suppose to be.

[breakers92]

i think we just cant push her to hard.

when she did this performance, shes on her very bad situation

how can we make a mother from 2 kids do this performance after she shaved her hair because of medias?????

i luv britney!!!!!!

[eyzonm3]

stop supporting the bitch. btw MEDIA is already a plural no need to right MEDIAS. Anything that you say is going to be an uneducated response.

[ambersweetishot]

this is really amazing

[iKevinMusic]

look at how much bigger the stage is

[keepmeupdated]

I agree, that stage was tiny

[cafe456]

wow!

[Resi12]

2 things that annoy me,

1. Yes the choreography wasnt great to start with it was weak but still with it being weak Brit couldnt learn

2. It was weak for a reason she could barely do that one let alone a hard one, but sayin that shes amazing and always was and im glad shes better and happier

[Csillaqua]

it's such a powerful choreography. If Britney did it in this way what we can see in this video, that would be one of her greatest performances ever, next to I'm a Slave 4 U @ VMA 01.

Anyway, really great job guys!!!

[hollywoodddwoo1]

the part when the music stops..then bangs back is amazing . fresh fresh fresh

[guy4rm36109]

why couldn't she do this? =[

[fyrewoman77]

Maybe if Britney wasn't all cracked-out she could have looked this good.

[andresazg]

i think i love you guys

[machelle3]

I hate the beginning where the "stand-in" looks like she's trying to regurgitate her lunch. I don't blame Britney for changing the choreography during this part. Even with Britney half assing her performance she still danced better than this! I totally agree with FL174, the choreography was not great!!

[2rich2kare]

ok ill admit if she did this exactly she would have gotten better reviews but the choregraphy was really choreography... there was very little group dancing and more motion.. i dont think it would have been strong enough

[FL174]

Britney didn't suk, the choreography did. Should get wade robson and brian friedman to do the choreography... the good old days

[caixapreta2]

this was made for a real popstar. so...

[antonyware]

im sorry but even with it done correctly, i just dont think it was a put together well performance. the choreography is weak, the song itself just should have been mixed with something else because it becomes boring. whole thing just wasnt a good idea

[wezlee17]

Are you serious?! I don't think you know choreography very well...because this was very well put together, unconventional, and very fluid. This is one of my favorite choreography pieces ever!

[mcarey]

is this real? if so its good, but Brit still did it best

[nastyx666]

hahaha seriously?

she was high when she did that!

this is sooo much better!

[PeterDuktig]

i agree to 100%

[minoraccident]

favourited this, she could have done so much with her performance, miss old britney :-(

[agathadirks]

that flop on stage is bad for britney but even for them! if she did this WOW! but I think her best performances is with the snake

[MoonPrince776]

Why didn't you pivk her up you bunch of nasties?!!!

[MTVvideos08]

wow that was awsome!!!! i wish britney did this!

[foccha]

does anyone know the understudy's name?

[Grouchfan1]

Wow. The rehearsal looks awesome. What happened???Brit, get back on track my friend.wow, unbelievable.

[daws8428]

britney would have been awsome if she got it right like this!

see how she was lifted in the air, that would have been awsome!

[Grabbenegor93]

yeah

[nonoki]

wow, immagine that she danced like this in the vma's, how would ve been, she did great anyway, this choreography is so awsome, good luck brit xxxxxxxxx
