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.

You people need to stop jugding Britney so harshly and start realising that us by-standers can’t possibly comprehend what’s really going on in her life and her mind.
And no, I’m no blog-police..I’m just asking people why it’s so hard to show some sympathy for others.
Just accept the fact that you are in no position to jugde her when it comes to her personal life, since you don’t know her personally.
How would YOU feel if people judged you the way Britney has the whole world judging her?
My personal opinion is that she’s probably going through a transition period and that we shouldn’t put so much pressure on someone we don’t even know. If you think that she needs help, then that’s you’re opinion, but you don’t have to keep repeating it in such a meanspirited manner. IF SHE TRULY NEEDS HELP, THEN SHE MUST COME TO THE REALISATION HERSELF CUZ ULTIMATELY SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP HERSELF BY ACCEPTING HELP!
I hope this made people think twice before judging others esp celebrities..but if it didn’t then that’s fine too..I will not force other people to be nicer.
Good bye!
I feel sorry for Kayne West and some of the other performers who really deserved to do the opening number. What was she thinking?????? What was her management or the entourage around her thinking?? She looked like a stoned robot — danced and lip synced like she didn’t even know where she was. What a disaster for her–why didn’t she take Justin Timberlake’s offer and make a come back single with him???
Brit sucked big time. No excuses needed. She is a performer and this was her moment to shine. Greater artists than Britney have put aside personal problems and gave the performance of a lifetime. Britney is her own enemy, not the paps or the tabs. She had the spotlight and blew it. Criss Angel, if he was helping her with her act, should have spent more time on the act and not Britney herself. He should have made the entire performance disappear. I am still rooting for Brit, she is one of my favorite trainwrecks.
Sarah Silverman totally make an appropriate joke regarding Britney’s children, calling them a “mistake.” That was totally uncalled for. Britney’s performance wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the best. Give her time and practice, and she’ll be 100% better.
Yily, Britney’s performance was VERY BAD, everyone needs to place the blame on one person and that’s Britney. She’s 25 years old, a mother of 2 and a show business veteran. She parties all night but can’t do a 2 minute performance with no singing and very little dancing, come on. People have got to stop giving her chance after chance and make her get some help away from LA.
I raise my son to be accountable for his actions; it’s obvious that her mother did not. Just 2 weeks ago she was given $100,000 to show up at an opening in Vegas and she showed up 2 hours late and stayed 15 minutes. She was forced to walk the red carpet for a few minutes and then she took off. She is an insult to all the talented people in this country.
SAD to see she needs to get help but I don’t think the high heel boots helped.
I’m sorry, but there are no excuses for her performance. She is supposed to be a professional, and a professional will do what they do, and do it well, no matter what the circumstances. The girl makes $700K a month, so “it was her first time on stage in a long time” or “Sarah Silverman was going to make fun of her kids” (which she didn’t, she made fun of the headline talking about Brit’s kids), isn’t going to cut it.
I also don’t buy that the hotel scrapped the performance at the last minute. They would have known about it far in advance and there is no way MTV would have replaced something that was supposed to be awesome with that shitastic (but clearly rehearsed) performance.
I think MTV got what they paid for in having Britney open the show - ratings. They didn’t care about her, if its true that they wouldn’t let the original show planned with Chris Angell go on and if MTV really cared about Britney they would have made some modifications instead of sending her out to the wolves. Instead, they were contributing to her downfall all for the sake of their ratings, they knew people would tune in to watch, unfortunately I’m sure most people tuned out after the awkward start between Britney and Sarah.
I think what someone said is true - if Britney would have killed it with her performance it would have been mighty hard for Sarah to come out afterwards and say what she said. Britneys performance made it that much more easier for Sarah to trash her. I agree saying her kids were mistakes was wrong and I didn’t find anything she said funny - no one was laughing, so why bring her back again. And regardless of what Sarah was going to say or not say - the show must still go on and Britney should have just risen above it, but she is not in a mental state to do that.
I think we all knew that Britney wouldn’t be any good. It was obvious that Justin was steering clear of the floor and staying in his suite because he didn’t want any camera shots panning over to him for reaction when she was up there tanking.
She obviously needs serious help, but she’s so sick and has so much money that she doesn’t have to be dependent upon anyone and there are too many people out there willing and ready to enable her to be on her mealticket. It’s really sad what has become of her. After she split with Justin her life just went completely downhill and out of control. I think Justin kept her real, and after that she was so lonely that she just got sucked into all the hype. That was how she got the attention and affection she needed. She basically bought K-Fed’s affections and even he kept her somewhat sane and grounded. Now she’s free falling on her own, her poor babies. They are too young now to know what is going on, but one day they are going to be able to look her in the eye and tell her what they think and feel. Hopefully it won’t be too late before that time comes. Her manager should get her into hiding and rehab and just make her go away for a good long time.
For those who care, take a stoll down memory lane to see how far Britney has fallen in just a few short years time. Poor girl.

umm wat was that?! ..
the dance was very effortless with no sense of passion wotsoeva.
shame shame…
I agree with what one of the stars said. They said she was holding back and really nervous because of the hype and all the negativity surronding her. If nobody believes in you how can you perform at your best?
I think Britney tried and for that I applaud her greatly. I think with a little more practice she is going to be great! The media is just toooo judgemental and build people up just so we can watch them fail. To say she was horrible and shouldn’t have performed went over the line. I also thought that Sarah Silverman’s monologue was not funny at all.
Love CRISS ANGEL he is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#1

well i mean kinda
but hey, it made her tits huge!
