poor britney, im gonna let u off on this performance, from all the presure u were under i dont care if u were drunk, aslong as uve sorted yourself out :)
poor girl. shes just totally exhausted. her whole body is in pain. every move feels like breaking a bone. there is no expression in her face at all. shes dead
I feel bad for the kind of life she lives. Paparazzi always surrounding her wherever she goes, magazines make a big deal about everything bad in her life so that's all people focus on, always being flown different places, living out of suitcases and hotel rooms, probably not a lot of down time. Sure, she's got loads of money and she's really famous, but fuck, if i was her on that stage i would have stood in one place and put my middle finger up until they cut to commercials.
britney is one of my biggest idols.. but performances like this and the lack of care put me off her! if i ahd the chance to headline a show like this i'd give it 110% every single minute! if ur not gonna give it ur all then give someone else the chance
Yeah its true that all performers have good and bad performances, but to say that REAL fans of anyone love all their performances is pretty silly. If you support a sports team you dont mindlessly praise every performance. You have a right to be critical, and its important that you uphold that right in all circumstances. otherwise brain-dead drone-ness awaits you.
As this was the VMA's, and as such an invited audience, then ok. But if id paid to see this id have been livid.
Well that woman is not a robot like most people would want, she had a kid not that long ago, at least some people should respect motherhood. Most women gain like 10 times more weight than she did and she looks very healthy! Celebrity gossip overreacts major, and wants every star to look like a twig... That's just insane.
I don't think she's actually singing here. Most real artists HATE miming or lip syncing to a track instead of playing. Sometimes, gigs (especially on tv) have you play to a recording for various reasons. The artist is obligated to perform so they usually perform crazy. Muse is one of the best live bands of the 21st century but check out their miming videos on youtube. I don't know for sure, but it might just be the case here.
It seems like there was no choreography or maybe she didn't make it to rehearsal. She looks like she's making it up as she goes. After her performing I'm a Slave at the 2001 VMA's this looks very underwhelming. Her stuff this year seems good though.
she just looks like she didnt feel good at all and if any of you people have been sick and just plain out didnt wanna do anything...i think thats how she was in this idk just a possible explanation
What is sad about this is that everyone was rooting for her to kick arse. You'd think she could give her fans a "little more" :( well hopefully she does better this year! 2011
What do you mean haters. I don't hate her. I am a fan of her, and I love her voice, but just cause i am a fan does not mean I am going to lie and say that was a great job. Let's get something straight. She put herself in front of people and blew it. It was not the worst thing I have ever seen, and I agree with some of the other people her body looks great. The problem was not her body. She went out there with no energy and just did a bad job. That is all she will have a better day that was bad.
I remember, when this had just hapened, hearing all this crap about how ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE this performance was. But now that I actually work up the nerve to watch it, I am surprised to see that, while it's not GREAT or even very good, it was much better than I expected. She could have been more into the dancing, and wore a better outfit, and at least tried to not make it seem like she was lip - syncing. But there was one one part that I was plesently surprised at her dancing (2:07 - 2:13)
i never even saw this when it came out but ya she was drunk and on cocaine she also sucks hard so ya i think its safe to say britney is just getting old and unpopular it aint 1999 anymore when she was on top of the world oh well boooo britney hope you britney lovers hate the hateraide!
Nothing was bad about her weight, but apparently she was pissed and really didnt care to perform and if i were her I wouldve kicked the shit outta it and blew people away but thats ok! everyones different, love you britney!
wasn't her best, but it takes courage to be up there. i think it was a product of her not being ready but feeling the pressure to get out there. i've pushed myself in shit i wasn't ready for, thinking it would be good to do something different or challenge myself and more often than not, i was going against my own intuition and it ended badly. lol. it happened in a room full of people and i wanted to curl up and die. whatever. brit wasn't godawful. and im glad she seems happy now.
what do you mean it takes courage to get up there. That is her job. That was not Britney's first time on a stage are you kidding. As for pressure if she did not want to do it she should have said no. If you are a strong person and you do not want to do something you just say no. She made the choice to do it.
This was such a disaster performance. okay, we can close our eyes and not notice her bad dancing, but why can't she sing live? I mean why is she opening her mouth without singing?
yeah shes pretty okay as far as performance goes usually but she was out of it on this one not really a big fan of her but ive def seen better of her....her facial expressions ere saying im tired
Hey forget what anyone else has heard I think she looked good after having 2 babies back to back... But you can tell she was not into it.. Like she just was not comfortable. But she should be proud of what she has accomplished.. Furthermore, there are a lot bigger singers out there and its her voice that is what is great its not all about the body..
I so fuckin love this I know she was all barred out!! I love britney and who ever is dissing ur trippin she so fuckin hot! But u can tell she lip sync when will britney stop that!!!
She had gotten in an arguement with Kevin Earlier, apparently he threw in her face that she couldnt have the kids because she was going to preform, she didnt get to see her kids all day and i believe this was around easter time? Anyways, she was distraught.
"If you're looking for trouble, look right in my face." Yes Britney, we know.
I don't know what she was on, but she must have shared some with her hair, make up, and wardrobe people. The bad performance and out-of-shape body (not fat - but not dance performance ready) were her fault, but her crew didn't really help her out.
She should've went with a curve-hugging dress or something and let her back up dancers add the slut - i mean sex - appeal.
BUT I re-watched the clip of her, and I think she was laughing with her friend because one of the pole dancers were at her table and was dancing right above her.
It's at 3:10 (so you don't have to hunt for it). What do you think?
i remember just wanting this to end.. for britney's sake... it wasn't horrible but it wasn't good, ha.. idk she just didn't seem into it?? her dancers were into it and since she wasn't it just just made her look worse. but i love britney.. just saying the truth
i think there's nothing wrong with her body there maybe other people want her to look thinner well then she couldve put on another outfit and her lip sync was not bad only the way she looks...her face just doesnt say to me that she was ready to go and peform like that yet o and the extensions but thats not something everyone looks at
I love her the perfomance is super and the body is sexy !I love her so so much shes the best singer on the world!!!She look there a bit sad thats sad...:( But NOW shes on the TOP!
she is a little over wieght and her dancing isnt as good but you can see she still has the moves.
