Britney's Busted VMA Performance and the Aftermath

It's Britney, Bitch! Those words kicked off one of the most embarrassing performances of her career. That performance set the tone for one of the worst VMA shows ever. She may have been worse than the Ashlee Simpson disaster.
I feel bad for Britney. She announced this performance and MTV has been hyping the shit out of it. It was all the pre-show correspondents talked about with the celebrities. Her performance was the focus of the VMA commercials. I don't know if she cracked under the pressure or if she had had one too many drinks or done too many lines of coke off a Palms toilet seat but she looked more like a 20 dollar stripper than a hot performer.
My personal opinion is simply this: she was never a singer (everyone knows she lip syncs) but come on Britney at least get up there and shake it for me. Her lip sync was clearly off. Impress me a little bit with the choreography. Instead, it looked like she was walking through the steps and that she forgot her marks on stager. She didn't smile, where the fuck was the energy!?
As far as the outfit she supposedly had been rehearsing all weekend so if the shoes were not going to be comfortable then get a different pair. The bikini was silly. I know she was trying to prove that she got her body back (from probably paying out the ass for trainers) and she didn't look bad but in Hollywood standards she looked a little bit soft in the middle. But, I am not judging that, I am no supermodel but she could have wore a hot body suit that would have masked her minor body flaw. Her cheeks were hanging out and I don't know if the sparkles on the bikini were to attract or distract from the tragedy happening on the stage. Her extensions and cheap-looking color contacts made her look like a wannabe star. She looked like an imposter version of herself.
Her lack of enthusiasm was horrible. She is the same star that has rocked performance stages for years with her poppy songs. Perhaps, she was trying to hard to be sexy this time and the song could have handled some faster choreography. Or maybe, she was just being lazy who partied too hard while her children were with the three nannies.
I want to know who she is paying for that performance. There was no hint of a choreographer. There are rumors she fired the choreographer. If that was the case, that was a mistake and was very apparent. Who let her get up on stage during rehearsal and not comment on how bad it was compared to her previous VMA performance. Maybe we needed a lion or 50 big snakes. See that would have been more exciting to see! Why didn't the manager tell her you look like shit and this is your big debut! Tighten up!
I loved the crowd. Before the show, the MTV correspondents were asking all the celebrities how they thought Britney was going to do. They were all polite and encouraging for Britney but the truth was revealed when Rhianna was laughing, Diddy stared blankly onto the stage and 50 Cent was more interested in the strippers (dancers) on the sides of the polls. The truth was spoken by the weak applause and Britney fleeing the stage. Her name was brought back up by Sarah Silverman which usually just evokes screaming and cheering, not last night. I am not going to even comment on the mediocrity of the song because that was the least of the problems!
The rest of the night everyone's game was thrown off. People were giving choppy acceptance speeches and not even showing for their awards. All of the disjointed performances in different suites was kind of cool. The real highlights of the VMA's were: the fight between Tommy Lee and Kid Rock and then the jokes from P. Diddy and Jamie Foxx. Foxx was drunk and making Jennifer Garner sweat while she desperately tried to read off the monitor. The Chris Brown performance and the Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, and Nelly Furtado performances didn't disappoint either. Silverman was mildly entertaining.
Gimme Gimme more . . . NO THANK YOU! I WANTED MORE out of that show. I doubt this was the start she needed but then again. . . NO PRESS IS BAD PRESS! (right?) We will see how this turns out for Brit. . . . If I was her just keeping being a crazy whore so you can get a little throwback from the tabloid magazines. There is some time I will never get back. Damn Vegas I was hoping the show would be a better venue and stop the pattern of crappy VMA shows.

Not like you haven't already watched it twice today . . . .

Britney was cracked out during her performance. I'll admit that I liked that song though. Thanks for posting the video!

That performance was no doubt tragic. Britney looks sleepy, unenthusiastic and a little cracked out!
Worse than that though the VMAs disappointed. Nothing was shocking or even mildly entertaining!
MTV has lost its host audience. no one wants to see washed up celebrities crash and burn their career on television.

this is a great explanation for exactly what MTV does horrible...award shows...the music and movie awards have had dropping ratings for the last few years

It's like Britney didn't even try. Ugh, I have never been more disgusted by my favorite Pop princess ever. TMZ SAID SHE WAS CRYING BEFORE SHE GOT ON STAGE, HENCE THE MEDIOCRE PERFORMANCE.

oh, ya dat bitch bes like oh it Britney bitch. Like we should give her respect. Respect for what a out of shape out of date ex-pop star, who's only popularity is sprung when she shows off the goods. They have a name for people like that, they call them porn stars. Which is clearly what she needs to do to enhance her bank roll. Who would have thought out of her and Kevin, America and social services would be pulling for him to have custody of the two kids. Even Paris Hilton will soon lose hope for Britney and she will have to turn to her soon to be best friend Courtney Love. Then the two of them will share stories about which photographer got which picture of their drunken snatch.

I would have to agree with you, she almost looked she was drugged out the whole performance. I don't feel bad for her either, she has no excuse for her recent failure as a singer, put down the crack pipe and show your fans and children that you can actually be a responsible young adult/mother.

Brittany will never learn. She would have been better off sticking to the tabloids. Its a good thing she had so many back-up strippers, they gave me something to look at other than a stuggling britt.

ps do you just recycle your 'profile' information like 'about me' section or whatever? cuz i had deja vu when i read it.

So true. The massive antidepressant drug coctail she no doubtedly took before the performance probably wasn't a good idea either.

Well...she looked like me when I go the the USF gym to work butts & gutts. Unfortunately, I don't get paid a fraction of the amount she does.

However, I would like to say that she isn't fat. I have heard lots of people saying she is. NFW = No way. She's not fat. Maybe she isn't "typical celebrity starved", but she isn't FAT (like...don't ride a motorcycle fat).

But, definitely sub par, and it could only have been improved upon by a fall. I would loved to have seen a fall....

I'm just mean.

Nice blogging!

I agree.. but I DO feel sorry for her, unfortunately. As I watched in complete HORROR Sunday night.. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed and ashamed for her. She looked like a deer caught in headlights. Every aspect of it was a complete train wreck. The outfit.. the greasy extensions.. her half assed attempt at dancing. Sure she was obviously unprepared.. she had no right to even try at this point.. and I'd hardly call it trying, but I can honestly say I feel sorry for the girl. Watching her destroy herself.. and her celebrity.. over the years has been a sad journey. Stupid as well. But still sad. But then again maybe I'm just being rediculous.

Great job, very analytical and, although the comment of your sophomoric attitude toward fashion may be accurate, you analysis of the fasion would is not. Love it, you did very well!

I like the description of her looking like an impostor of herself. That is exactly what I thought while watching it.
