OlderCriss Angel @ VMAs 2007
One man who has some explaining to do: Criss Angel. Did the magic man infuse any magic into Britney’s comeback performance at the VMAs? (If you missed it, watch Britney’s VMAs performance here).
Even the Associated Press rips into Brit’s performance:
“Somewhere, Kevin Federline is laughing.
An out-of-shape, out-of-touch Britney Spears delivered what was destined to be the most talked about performance of the MTV Video Music Awards — but for all the wrong reasons. Kicking off the show Sunday night with her new single, “Gimme More,” Spears looked bleary and unprepared — much like her recent tabloid exploits on the streets of Los Angeles.
She lazily walked through her dance moves with little enthusiasm. It appeared she had forgotten the entire art of lip-synching; and, perhaps most unforgivable given her once taut frame, she looked embarrassingly out of shape.
Even the celebrity-studded audience seemed bewildered. 50 Cent looked at Spears with a confused expression; Diddy, her new best friend, was expressionless.
Some comeback.”
Hey, at least she was wearing underwear.

Hey Lili if you’re going to try and defend the fucked up ***** at least learn how to spell!
People- I think we have to remember that she used to perform in front of THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS when she was a brand new artist. I am assuming she was quite nervous then but would kill it nonetheless. This performance had NO excuse.
IT.
WAS.
AWFUL.
that was so boring. i was embarrassed for her…
ok I give up, buy.
no heart, no 1 to talk to what can I do.
I treat brit like I hope people tret me, and I have a heart.
a LOT OF HER TRUBLE IS HERFULT, BUT SHE IS A CHILD STAR it happend to all of them, the answer is not hatting if you can’t see it and hatting makes you fell bether about if I can’t do anything.
OK COULD NO ONE GET HER SOME BETTER EXTENSIONS? I mean my God, I would have liked a hat more than that mop she was wearing.
She’s finished.
All that’s left now is the Celebrity DeathWatch Poll. Will it be an Anna Nicole style OD or will it be a drunken car wreck? Will she survive 2007, or will her bedraggled a.s.s make it to ‘08?
Okay, someone posted this on another site and I just had to post it. I love Family Guy!

for someone who hasn’t performed in years, she did the best that she can. you looked so uncomfortable, but she did good. she’s better than all of us. look at what she’s been through and she still put aside her insecurities and gave us a performance.
I want to sympathize with Britney, but any true professional would not let nerves get in the way of a performance. She has had far too many chances to earn back the public’s respect and has messed up every single time.
I think we all saw the real winner tonight: Chris Brown. Not everyone could pull off a high-concept medley piece with a surprise guest star, but Chris blew us all away. Welcome, kid.

for someone who hasn’t performed in years
***
are you forgetting the performance(s) she did a couple months ago?
Already said once, will said twice, just awful, awful and awful. This is so wrong!!
She was scared shitless and with all that crap in her life…she still went out there and performed. Have some compassion people! She is a human being who has lost a lot and could use some encouragement.
i’m convinced more than ever now that a worthy comeback will never come.
Poor Brit. She was obviously not ready for the “come back”… she really looked scared.
It was sad all the choices, specially the hair extensions… gosh.
I hope her kids didnt get to see mommy dressed like that.
Wow-where to start. Ok, here is the main problem as I see it; when you’re entire carreer is based essentially on using your body to distract people from the fact that you can’t sing, and when you show up looking the way BS did, and you are still somehow trying to convince people that you can sing, or at least perform, you have a real situation.
To be fair, I thought BS’ makeup looked beautiful-I can see that for once, she had professionals, and not her “friends” do her makeup. Unfortunately, that is the only nice thing I can say about the whole performance and the fact that we have to ananlyze her her makeup underscores the sad reality that singing is just not this singer’s forte-never a good sign when you’re basing your carreer as one.
As for the rest, I imagine everyone witnessed what I did (out of principal, I refuse to watch the VMAs) on the Net. I thought BS looked very uncomfortable-scared even. And, she kept grabbing her hair, as of terrified that her weave would come flying off. It was all very distracting, as you could practically see the wheels of her little brain straining and straining to multitask without leaving anything out-”remember words, remember dance steps, don’t trip, and hold on to weave!!”
Unfortunately for Miss B., save for managing to successfully guard her weave from landing in the audience, she managed to accomplish none of the tasks on aforementioned mental “to do” list. The dancing, if you could call it that, consisted of her usual prancing around while waving her arms (as if lots of arm-waving constitutes dance skill), with the protective camouflage, of course, from the requisite slew of writhing dancers. More diastraction, I suppose.
The saddest part, I suppose, is that BS couldn’t even lip-synch correctly! This is the kiss of death for a singer who cannot sing.
That bikini- well, ok-isn’t Britney a little ummm…wide…to be parading around like that? I thought she looked like a stuffed sausage in that thing. It’s not that she’s a complete lardass-she’s fine for a middle class housewife in suburbia that has popped out two kids-but for a gal trying to convince us that her fab bod somehow equates with vocal talent? Uhhh, sorry, but in a word? NO.
Sorry to sound so negative, but I think it is time for Britney to quit her day job and stay home with her kids.
#16…this is not a text message. Please use your big kid words. We know she has children, but she is a mess. Messy mess. I have a hard time believing she was terrified. She had been performing successfuly for years. Her problem seems to be that those around her have never let her know that she actually has problems.
Britney’s performance was good - leave her alone.
Criss.One, I LOVE YOUR SHOW!!!And two,why ya dating Brittany?
out of shape?? are u kidding me! her body is tight she has 2 kids, she looks damn good beautiful face, i liked her performance, she did look scared
Lili, reading your posts is as bad as watching Britney. Please learn how to spell before posting.
By the By….
Jared… I was disappointed to read your slanted comments.
On Britney….I hope she is okay and gets a lot of support from those around her.
It was not really that bad. For someone who has not performed in years, it was actually pretty decent. Britney Spears is not ready yet to comeback. Until all her life issues are resolved. Anyone in her shoes right now will be MORE of a train wreck than how we see her handle herself. Good job, Britney. We sure miss the OLD BRITNEY the PERFORMER but we still have high hopes that OLD B will comeback. Fierce and stronger.
first you got the bad hair weave (did you see the extensions traight thru)
then there was that ridiculous outfit..what was that her unerwear?
then there was her dancing (or lack of) it was awful.. the dancers out did her.
and lastly there was her really bad bad song and lack of even trying to sing.. She apaarently just wanted a paycheck but didn’t bother to even remotely try to earn it.. I have no plans of buying any of her CDS (no doubt thay are all jacked up by the studio and not even using her actual singing voice) Can someone say “MiNi vannili?
Lili, Britney is lucky she has such a loyal and compassionate fan in you because she sure as heck does not deserve it. And you deserve a more sane and responsible idol, someone like Angelina Jolie.
