Britney Spears VMAs disaster

2007-09-10 by Iai EMERITUS | 36 Comments
In what had been hyped as a major comeback for her, Britney Spears' performance at the VMAs turned into a disaster that left a blot on an otherwise well-recieved show.

Premiering a new song of which she seemed unsure of the words, Britney appeared on stage in a sparkling black bikini that made her recent weight gain immediately apparent. The performance was lip-synched badly by a Britney clearly lacking in confidence, a factor which also impacted her stiff, nervous dancing - described by one commentator as 'like it was coreographed by a dance instructor from a nursing home'. Her performance has become the talking point of a ceremony that saw Timbaland win four awards and Alicia Keys raise the roof on her comeback with the performance of the night. Her set included a cover of George Michael's "Freedom".

The first attack on both Spears' performance and the ceremony itself came from Kanye West. He didn't win any awards, either. Haven't we heard this story before?

That show was god awful. I had to turn it off after the first hour to prevent myself from putting pins into my eyes.
The only snippet I enjoyed was that clip where Cee-lo was rocking out with the Foo Fighters. That was pretty wicked.

No confidence, no movement. On the other hand, it was her first major stage apperance in years she was probably very nervous and I noticed like if she was out of practice. I doubt she might get to be the same that she was when she was 21, but I think she'll get better once she gets back on track.

She doesn't look that bad. Not as good as a few years ago, but she's still hot. Pretty funny video though, especially the reactions of the people in the crowd.

I really think that she embarrassed herself pretty bad with this one. But at lest the Foos were good. Loved their set with Serj.

God the way people were talking about this on TV you'd think she was drooling on stage, swinging a beer-gut left and right. I mean, it sucked, but DAMN, you wouldn't know there was a fucking war going on...

i honestly can't believe it. i mean who is talking to her, handling her career, etc. and is she listening.

the bikini was a HUGE mistake. it made her look desperate, and she does not have a bikini body. so why show the body like that? is she a stripper? this wasn't the little act she does now at HOB and the small clubs she has been performing in with her burlesque show or w/e the hell it is. millions of people, worldwide publicity, and she looks like an amateur who would barely make the first cut on American Idol.

This is really the first time I have felt sorry for her a little. What a shame. She must be as dumb as everyone thinks she is.This Message Edited On 09.10.07

Well... she can't bounce around TOO much. Her hair might fall off.

Britney isn't "hot" now and she never was IMHO. I feel kinda sad for her though, I mean she's like 25 and she's already at the end of her career.

She's not fat, she's just not dance-and-lip-sync-on-national-television skinny.

I found a link for this online, it wasn't that bad. She was more nervous and stiff than anything though, it was extremely mediocre.

wow

usually they will record a separate track for live recordings, and keep an un-pitch corrected track to lip sync to

but apparently here they figured just popping the CD in would suffice
