see if britney had never had her messy break up or even never met kevin do you think she would still be performing like this? I dunno but i've got hope that if she took a few years away from the spotlight came back looking hotter than ever she could be this performer again! for all we know it could be a plan she has just "circus" and "femme fatale" era are not high energy maybe the next era will be? so then everyone will be talking about her COMEBACK.
@proserfina21096 Britney was 19 years old here and almost 20. and yeah I love love this performance! :) I wish she could perform at the vma's again to top 2007's.
Haha I'm assuming that nbmp80 hasn't heard the recent news that Britney's vevo account alone has received 1 billion views making her the 7th artist reach that amount! If you don't like her then why are u wasting your time watching her performances on here?!?! By far, this is the most iconic vma performance ever! Love it! :-)
@nbmp80 what??? i dont even remember that performance. Gaga is just forcing herself to be the next Britney but she is just a clown who became famous not with the songs or albums but with stupid outfits. The charisma and impact which Britney has in this performance has no alternative.Britney has the X factor
@MANIABRIT she is not relevant, she is miserably unpopular, only her fans watch her videos, wich she donest have alot, cuz her views on her videos are very low and also her album sales are low as well, her album in not even at the top ten best sellers list..
@nbmp80 She's not relevant? She IS relevant. She's the only star that's relevant in this industry from the 90's. If she's not relevant, why is she always compared to Gaga which is #2 right now after Bieber. Britney is definitely in the top 5 right now, and this Femme Fatale era wasn't even that good. She has A LOT of fans,and the reason why this has less views is because Youtube keeps blocking videos for copyright. It would've had like 10m+ views.
@nbmp80 Also, her views on her VEVO videos are low because they are blocked in many countries. Britney is an international artist. And whereas Rihanna's, Katy's and Lady Gaga's views can be viewed worldwide. Vevo hates Britney. They made her new video Criminal 18+ and Rihanna's We Found Love video is more explicit and it's free for the public. Oh yeah, and her album sales are low because she didn't even promote this album. She said this album was for her fans. And the album has done a good 2.5m
@nbmp80 oh REALLY?? She came out in 1998 and after 13 years she is still popular although she does not care anymore and does not even promote. Britney already achieved everything and she is already the biggest selling female of the decade with mindblowing tours,videos,performances and albums. She already rocked the world and now she is doing her job without ambition.None of the today's newcomers can make such huge impact which Britney did. Britney is the queen. End of story.
I have nothing against Britney, so don't get me wrong, but I feel really sorry for the animals used in the show. Trained show animals? They still have much more sensitive ears than humans, and if you have ever been in a concert you know the music is LOUD. Snakes don't hear but they sense vibrations (bass etc.), and the burmese python seemed so flegmatic when basically thrown around it makes me wonder if it was drugged.
Nothing about this performance is that great. She looks good and that the end of it. Take away the dancers (who do the real work) and the track she's lip syncing to and you basically have a dancing show girl. I like her and always kind of felt sorry for her because she was such a pawn to make a lot of people a lot of money. And she went off the deep end trying to escape the awful life they tried to glamorize. But these are not the characteristics of greatness.
She danced as much as the dancers.Which awful life did they try to glamorize?She was basically living the dream then.
Deal with it,the performance was beautiful and great.Truly one of the most iconic performances.
She has proved time and time again that she can sing her ass off, the dancing takes a toll on her breathe dramatically,not all humans are the same .She'd rather dance and have a good show,than show an out-of breath performance,for which the media,could have destroyd
@TheQueenBrit No need to call names. A good dream does not send you into a relationship with a loser. Or into a salon with an electric shaver to your head. She was miserable and told everyone that when she said she was tired of people touching her. You're a fan, and I understand how that is. But don't pretend she had a fantasy life. And many great performers sing and dance a lot more than she did here. Ever been to Broadway? Ever see Michael Jackson? Sammy Davis, Jr.? Hell, even Lady Gaga?!
i guess shes geting better. i mean ithink shell get back on top again as long as she dosent have another melt down. i mean i listened to her when i was 9 she was realy big then. i thnk shell make it. im routen 4 her
@JamalHoltMusic Watch her do it in Miami... she did it amazingly. she is getting better each show. And next era if she doesn't take a long break, she will be back to her oldself :)

“It’s funny, not many people realize that the snake Britney Spears held in her famous VMA performance of I’m a Slave 4 U was in fact Nagini, Voldemort’s final horcrux.”
@thelexiex ok shes lip syncing right now 2011, the least she could do is at least dance her butt off, if shes not gonna dance that much anymore than she should sing live
Yes, Britney is unforgettable, But her lack of enthusiasm is also unforgettable now, despite her age. Compare her to Beyonce and you will see the difference in passion
@admboy09 yes SHE STOLE THE WHOLE SNAKE THING AND CLTHING IDEA FROM AALIYAHS "WE NEED A RESOLUTION" VIDEO, AFTER AALIYAH DIED. I THOUGHT IT WAS KOOL AALIYAH INSPIRED THIS BUT BRIT SHOULDA GAVE AALIYAH HER CREDIT!
@DollFaceVixen14 That's just like Britney and Beyonce, they're famous for other people's shit. If I'm not mistaken, the whole island theme Beyonce had going on in "Baby Boy", Beyonce got from "Rock Tha Boat".
britney back then was more entertaining than lady gaga that everyone is so crazy about now. the latter just reinvent kind of something that has existed. for example, in this performance, britney has done with those dancers with exotic dress.
@h44512 oh i dunno maybe having a fake "manager" weasel their way into your life when you're the most vulnerable you've ever been and isolate you from your family, cut your phone lines HIDE YOUR DOGS and not to mention get a "psychiatrist" to "perscribe" her pills he grinds up and put in her food and if she doesn't take the pills she doesn't get to see her children wouldn't you imagine that would take a toll on someone? not to mention she broke her knee in '04. do your research. read lynnes book
@caseypoo984 uuuh sorry i'm not a complete die hard fan as you seem to be. i understand her life has been hard, extremely hard. i was just commenting on how not only has her talent seemed to have faded, her willingness and love for performing seems to as well.
@caseypoo984 Britney obviously doesn't care about performing anymore, BECAUSE of all those things you mentioned. She should just leave the scene. If she ever gets better and get motivated to perform then she should come back. For herself, not her father and others (like diehard fans) pressuring her to continue just so they can get the old Britney back. And all those fans saying shes back like her old self, no she sucks at dancing now. Those that say shes older, so is Beyonce and she dances great
@dreamynights - listen bitch what your fogetting is that britney is actually older then beyonce by like 4 years, including the fact that shes also had 2 children. go and look up recent performances of xtina now that shes had a child her dancing is not what it used to be. regardless of the fact that britneys dancing is not as good as it was, shes still an amazing entertainer which is why shes still around. if britney wanted to stop she would.. shes doing coz she loves it not coz fans are pushing
@dreamynights she sucks at dancing now? she's doing the slave chore THIS choreo on the femme fatale tour and she's kicking ass. britney says that performing MAKES HER HAPPY it's her form of therapy and who the fuck are you to say she shouldn't do that?
@caseypoo984 She is not kicking ass! i watched all her femme fatale videos when she slave 4 u she is TERRIBLE! i was extremely dissapointed, she does her dancing so half heartedly its just pointless.
The gimme more performance is incredible though, mainly cause the remix and staging but still its good :)
wow her dancing has gone to hell. i sometimes ger teary eyed when isee her in her slav 4 u years circa era. now i hate her, but luckily i have some very good memories of her.
to all the people saying 'this isn't live, she is lip syncing' it isn't true. the audio for this is the actual song audio and not the audio of the show. you can tell this by the singing and dancing is about a millisecond out of timing to the audio and also you cannot hear the audience throughout :)
@SirIvanthegreat I honestly don't believe she'll ever perform like this ever again. Well, let me see her new video for hold it against me...but I don't feel like she'll be like this again.
Please do not compare Britney with Gaga. They are different artists. Having said that, Britney is an established ICON! She has been around SUCCESSFULLY for almost 12 years now and all her albums sold very well. Gaga is an emerging artist.
Britney is a LEGENDARY ICOn on many levels - her dance, lyrics, scandals, etc. She opened the door for others. Gaga would not be this successful if Britney had not opened doors in the industry just like Michael Jackson and Madonna did before.
@jcstripped very very well said. Britney is an ICON. once GAGA can obtain what britney has and can accomplished what britney has, maybe then, i'll say she's iconic. but there cant be too many icons. 100 years from now,ppl will still be talking about BRITNEY, im not sure they will be talking GAGA though.
hey guys i made a britney 2011 trailer and i want u guys to watch it "it would be cool" -brit. lmfao but please watch i hope it holds you over untill january:) and thats only days away
hey guys i made a britney 2011 trailer and i want u guys to watch it "it would be cool" -brit. lmfao but please watch i hope it holds you over untill january:) and thats only days away!
...and now we have "artists" like Lady Gaga who only make themselves relevant because of their ridiculous outfits. Seriously Britney, you need to come out with a new album already and take charge again!!
@ErikExotic you need to get your facts straight- yes gaga has some ridiculous outfits but she does write her OWN songs and she has an AMAZING voice. I love britney but you cant say gaga is only relevant for her outfits thats just ignorant.
Whoever says this Brittaney is better than the original needs glasses and a time machine cause fuck, when britney spears did this video she was 10000000000000x hotter than this piece of fuck and her vocals suck shit and also when she did the dance with the snake at the vma's she did it wayyyyy hotter like fuck Brittaney looks like a fucking mouse.
Britney spears is the queen of pop
this is like fucking Bieber covering Michael Jackson....BULL SHIT!
took this from her official bio and check five other sources BITCH!!!!! :)
@Giagirlify Spears has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists.[1] According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), she is the eighth top-selling female artist in the United States, with 32 million certified albums.[2] Spears is also recognized as the best-selling female artist of the first decade of the 21st century, as well as the fifth overall
@TheNickDukeShow Too bad her name isn't in the top 10 best artist list, heck Miley cyrus is before her. Beyonce also has sold many records and hasn't been singing as long as Britney. Ain't that a bitch.
@Giagirlify Britney is the best selling teenage artist ever...sold 50 million records before the age of 21 and has sold over 85 million in the last decade. too bad you cant say the same for beyonce. At least with brit's performances they keep people talking, people dont talk about beyonces performances months afterward mostly because most of hers are forgettable.
@brendylan91 Beyonce hasn't been singing as long as Britney. And look at that, she's number 6 on America's best artist list. She has one many performances, is making money from Dereon her clothing line, and sold millions of items. But you see, unlike Britney, Beyonce is not a teen, she's a women. And it was even harder for her considering she's black(I'm white by the way.) People do talk about B's performances, Beyonce can actually sing and dance in heels at the same time unlike Britney.
@Giagirlify britney can surely dance in heels. check out toxic and overprotected performances on her onyx hotel tour. she does the split with heels. she spins with heels.
@Giagirlify II have nothing left to say i used to be just like you loved the shit out of beyonce then i figured some stuff out except i was a cunt like you... oh by the way where do you get your info i have at least 15 sources to back everything i say... i woute this from her official bio proving what you just said was bullshit read my next comment
@Giagirlify also cunt bucket britney doesnt always lip sync and mostly uses backing vocals because some of her songs have so much backing youd have to hire 10 back singers
@Giagirlify also bitch britney can be looked at as a good role model she went threw hard times and picked herself back up again... also beyonce is a sucky singer and bad performer i study voice she does not sing correctly she is lazy on stage and just wips her weave around... her dancing isnt impressive i am also a dancer sine 8 and lip syncing hun has been around since the forever beyonce does it too and jive records forces britney to do it and yes i know why and its not beccause she cant sing
@TheNickDukeShow Beyonce is an awesome singer, have you ever heard her song listen? Britney could never in a million years sing like that. And Beyonce rocks her little dance moves. Britney's the one who shaved her head, I'd rather have hair with weave, then no hair.
@Giagirlify also miss ignorance i have studied this my whole life read books took classes the whole nine yard my uncle even works at riaa you probably dont kniw what that is but... and my cousin works at interscope records...and beyonce is not the queen of anything thats self proclaimed she never earned the title. look it up britney is the queen of pop theres even a song about it im smarter than you in this area its my job to know this stuff so sjut up pick up a book and get your facts straight
@TheNickDukeShow Britney ma have been the queen of pop, but now if you haven't noticed, she isn't that big. Her name isn't even in the top 10 artist list anymore. Beyonce is number 6, since the last time I checked.
QUEEN OF POP

@h44512 oh i dunno maybe having a fake "manager" weasel their way into your life when you're the most vulnerable you've ever been and isolate you from your family, cut your phone lines HIDE YOUR DOGS and not to mention get a "psychiatrist" to "perscribe" her pills he grinds up and put in her food and if she doesn't take the pills she doesn't get to see her children wouldn't you imagine that would take a toll on someone? not to mention she broke her knee in '04. do your research. read lynnes book

@caseypoo984 uuuh sorry i'm not a complete die hard fan as you seem to be. i understand her life has been hard, extremely hard. i was just commenting on how not only has her talent seemed to have faded, her willingness and love for performing seems to as well.
h44512 9 months ago
@caseypoo984 Britney obviously doesn't care about performing anymore, BECAUSE of all those things you mentioned. She should just leave the scene. If she ever gets better and get motivated to perform then she should come back. For herself, not her father and others (like diehard fans) pressuring her to continue just so they can get the old Britney back. And all those fans saying shes back like her old self, no she sucks at dancing now. Those that say shes older, so is Beyonce and she dances great

@dreamynights - listen bitch what your fogetting is that britney is actually older then beyonce by like 4 years, including the fact that shes also had 2 children. go and look up recent performances of xtina now that shes had a child her dancing is not what it used to be. regardless of the fact that britneys dancing is not as good as it was, shes still an amazing entertainer which is why shes still around. if britney wanted to stop she would.. shes doing coz she loves it not coz fans are pushing

@dreamynights she sucks at dancing now? she's doing the slave chore THIS choreo on the femme fatale tour and she's kicking ass. britney says that performing MAKES HER HAPPY it's her form of therapy and who the fuck are you to say she shouldn't do that?
caseypoo984 7 months ago
@caseypoo984 She is not kicking ass! i watched all her femme fatale videos when she slave 4 u she is TERRIBLE! i was extremely dissapointed, she does her dancing so half heartedly its just pointless.
The gimme more performance is incredible though, mainly cause the remix and staging but still its good :)

to all the people saying 'this isn't live, she is lip syncing' it isn't true. the audio for this is the actual song audio and not the audio of the show. you can tell this by the singing and dancing is about a millisecond out of timing to the audio and also you cannot hear the audience throughout :)

Please do not compare Britney with Gaga. They are different artists. Having said that, Britney is an established ICON! She has been around SUCCESSFULLY for almost 12 years now and all her albums sold very well. Gaga is an emerging artist.
Britney is a LEGENDARY ICOn on many levels - her dance, lyrics, scandals, etc. She opened the door for others. Gaga would not be this successful if Britney had not opened doors in the industry just like Michael Jackson and Madonna did before.
jcstripped 1 year ago 5
@jcstripped very very well said. Britney is an ICON. once GAGA can obtain what britney has and can accomplished what britney has, maybe then, i'll say she's iconic. but there cant be too many icons. 100 years from now,ppl will still be talking about BRITNEY, im not sure they will be talking GAGA though.

@TheNickDukeShow Too bad her name isn't in the top 10 best artist list, heck Miley cyrus is before her. Beyonce also has sold many records and hasn't been singing as long as Britney. Ain't that a bitch.
Giagirlify 1 year ago
@Giagirlify Britney is the best selling teenage artist ever...sold 50 million records before the age of 21 and has sold over 85 million in the last decade. too bad you cant say the same for beyonce. At least with brit's performances they keep people talking, people dont talk about beyonces performances months afterward mostly because most of hers are forgettable.
brendylan91 1 year ago
@brendylan91 Beyonce hasn't been singing as long as Britney. And look at that, she's number 6 on America's best artist list. She has one many performances, is making money from Dereon her clothing line, and sold millions of items. But you see, unlike Britney, Beyonce is not a teen, she's a women. And it was even harder for her considering she's black(I'm white by the way.) People do talk about B's performances, Beyonce can actually sing and dance in heels at the same time unlike Britney.

@Giagirlify also bitch britney can be looked at as a good role model she went threw hard times and picked herself back up again... also beyonce is a sucky singer and bad performer i study voice she does not sing correctly she is lazy on stage and just wips her weave around... her dancing isnt impressive i am also a dancer sine 8 and lip syncing hun has been around since the forever beyonce does it too and jive records forces britney to do it and yes i know why and its not beccause she cant sing
TheNickDukeShow 1 year ago
@TheNickDukeShow Beyonce is an awesome singer, have you ever heard her song listen? Britney could never in a million years sing like that. And Beyonce rocks her little dance moves. Britney's the one who shaved her head, I'd rather have hair with weave, then no hair.

@Giagirlify also miss ignorance i have studied this my whole life read books took classes the whole nine yard my uncle even works at riaa you probably dont kniw what that is but... and my cousin works at interscope records...and beyonce is not the queen of anything thats self proclaimed she never earned the title. look it up britney is the queen of pop theres even a song about it im smarter than you in this area its my job to know this stuff so sjut up pick up a book and get your facts straight

@TheNickDukeShow Britney ma have been the queen of pop, but now if you haven't noticed, she isn't that big. Her name isn't even in the top 10 artist list anymore. Beyonce is number 6, since the last time I checked.
