I've heard a lot about it today and saw part of her performance on the news. The performance was a bit blah but honestly, I always thought she was a no talent hick. In other words, I don't know why this is so overhyped. Shouldn't we just expect a bad performance period? I can't get YouTube at my work place so hopefully I can upload a video later.
Well there are different types of recording artist out there. Britney Spears is/was good at what she is. A bubble gum teen girl pop act. The question is why would they have her as an opening act at the VMA which is suppose to be an edgy event.
It was like when they had Ashley Simpson perform at half time during the College Football National Championship. Why would they think beer drinking football fans want to see Ashley Simpson?

Like, six years ago, Britney sucking it up at a live performance would have been a really big deal because she was at the top of her game and making money hand over fist. Whether or not she was any good at what she did was irrelevant because when it came to her, it was never about her singing and dancing talent. It was all about marketing her brand and quickly as possible.
Today, however, Britney has become nothing more than a tabloid icon. When they announced that she was staging a comeback at the VMAs the entire world took a deep breath and started anticipating the kind of trainwreck that only post-shaven head Britney could provide. Everyone is feigning shock at her performance, but really everyone knew it was going to suck.
It wasn't the complete disaster that the tabloid websites want you to think it was. I've read that she's out of shape and the performance was a clusterf**k. I expected her to look like a woman who has had two kids and lives on a diet of Marlboro lights, Hostess Apple Pies and Red Bull but she just looked like the Britney Spears they photographed walking out of a gas station bathroom with her bare feet. Musically, the song sucked, but so do all of her others, so what else is new?
The press was just expecting a complete bi-polar meltdown, mid performance and huge headlines that are the final nail in her coffin but what they got was what Britney has always done. The only thing everyone has failed to consider is that she's doing the same old stuff to a crowd that was obsessed with her when they were 12. Now they're 20. Do the math.

Thats the only video I could find at the moment.
Britney Spears was never about the music. The woman never has been able to sing and the whole point to her is just marketing herself as a brand and not as true musical substance.
Say what you want about Madonna, but she has managed to transcend pop trends for 25 years now and has managed to keep her popularity up while also actually managing to make some really good music as well at various points. The fact that she actually can sing and writes/co-writes most of her own material is why critics view her more as an artist than just as a fad.
Britney Spears looked her best when she was first coming onto the pop scene back in the late 90's.
From looking at the video, Britney actually still looks pretty good.
No, she doesn't.
It's not a big deal with me if a woman has a little extra weight on her in places. But Britney had a huge error wearing that revealing of an outfit. If she had worn something that covered up her midriff but still showed off her cleavage, people wouldn't have been talking about her being "fat".

Like so many young people who reach mega-celebrity status very young, I doubt Britney Spears realized it could all be over before she reached her 25th... I feel sorry for her, but I'm way too old to be interested in her =ahem= "music..."
Who's Britney Spears?
That's what "it" means to me.
As far as her screwability goes, I guess if it was late and dark and I have had a few, then yeah I'd do her ... but even plastered I'd wash up quickly afterwards.
Not to sound like a perv, but I thought that Britney Spears was at her cutest when she was first starting out. She hadn't whored herself out yet to the level that she would end up doing.
Yeah, she did bring about that whole exploiting young women thing and the whole jailbait argument but you couldn't find an adult male of almost any age that didn't think that she was really cute when she was first starting out.
But I've always been much more of a Mandy Moore fan myself. She's actually got talent, she can act and she hasn't flaunted her "goods" to the point that people have gotten sick of her.

Saying this with all honestly and not as some anti-Britney fanboy, I really think she just needs to disappear. It's her time to step off the stage before she makes her E! True Hollywood Story a mini-series.
Her bombing was a surprise?
I'm a firm believer that she, Jess Simpson, and most of the pop tarts of today would do the world a favor by getting naked and then getting out of sight and out of mind.
:cheers: Here's to boobies!
Has anyone seen Sarah Silverman ragging on her? She called Britney's kids "mistakes".

I think his name is Chris Crocker. I was watching The Best Week Ever and they were saying he lives with his grandmother in her basement. One of the comedians got me rolling when he said he was fine with Chris Crocker until he told him to "put the lotion in the basket".
All in all, the last thing Britney needs now are oddballs defending her. But it adds so much to the train wreck though.

Glen Beck showed it on his show while I was on my dinner break at work. I thought that it was a girl until someone told me it was a dude.

Hell, I'll give you one. What an idiot. That dude is definetly certified, and in all seriousness, this is the type of people celebrities (even Brittany) need to watch out for. This guy probably has wall to wall posters of her. And it may start with an innocent (and equally creepy) plea to "leave her alone", then it will end up just like that young actress back in the day, when she starred in My Sister Sam.
Sadly BA, I'm pretty sure this kid's already got his one way ticket on the crazy train. I was watching The Soup last week and he's already got a pile of pictures of Brittney that he apparently likes to lay down in and think about being her BFF... does anyone think this is just a pathetic guy with no life or some kind of deeper trauma that he's trying to mask by taking his celebrity obsession so far as to try and look like Spears herself?

Apparently, Chris Crocker is getting some kind of reality show deal out of this whole Leave Britney Alone thing. Leave it to TV producers to beat the remaining funny out of 15 minutes of fame. By the time that show hits the air, people will have forgotten all about this video and will have moved on to the next thing.
For instance. when was the last time you heard about All Your Base Are Belong To Us? If anything needs a TV show, it's that thing.
I saw his response to Fox news for talking about him, then I saw about a zillion videos listed that were people responding to his response.
At this point I am walking away from the accident scene. :wink:

There was a rumor floating around a few years ago that Brit had been seen paling around with Jenna Jameson.
Jenna was later quoted as saying that if Brit's music career ever tanked (as it looks like it is) she had a career in the adult entertainment business just waiting for her.

Lest we forget the 400lbs of Carl's Jr. that have passed through her like so many half-digested colon kids.
What a fall she's taken. If she wants to be a stripper or porn star, she'll need to get back in shape.
Some part of me reads this thread and feels bad.
Another part of me hears an amalgam of internal voices from various video games, saying things like "fatality" and "killer combo!"
No one has yet approached that cattle prod comment from early in the thread, though.
I agree with what a psychologist said on TV (regarding Britney) -- she needs to have someone step in and separate her from all the s**t she's in, put her on a ranch (eeeeasy, boys) for several months and let her get her s**t together. That, or it'll take a near-death experience.
