She just looked like she couldn't be at all arsed, like she was just going through the motions.

Her smile at the end kind of gives it away though surely, she knows it wasn't great or else did it on purpose? I'm not deliberately trying to sound as though I'm just kidding myself you know.

Even if it was shaping up to be a passable performance that bitch who introduceher must have thrown that to basically rip into her and slag off her kids was going to send her back, she probably hoovered up all of the snow backstage and then tried to counter it with downers that would make Karen Walker jealous. I still don't think it's the end. I watched her old performances at the VMAs and she's a different person.

She looked like a 14 year old girl following the dance on a Madonna video. Slightly behind the beat and her eyes concentrating on something in the middle distance.

MTV have taken the videos of the performance from YouTube already. Probably not for copyright infringement either.

It can be found here: - www.mtv.co.uk/overdrive/latest/vid/61031Oh my goodness.... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Kabooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom! What was that I heard? Perhaps the tattered remnants of Britney's career crashing and burning. That was mortifying. I'm genuinely disappointed in her. What has she been smoking? That outfit!? It makes her look like a drunk stripping in Hooters after one too many Lambrinis. The song itself isn't too bad, though it does literally sound like Britters phoned in her vocals between rehab and a custody hearing. The best bit is the middle eight with the cut-up vocals: none of them the lead singer's, one presumes. Is it much too gay to have loved the male dancers' shoes though? Metallics = hot.

Oh dear. This could have been amazing, but the dancing was completely lame. I'm no body fascist by any stretch of the imagination - and by most folks standards she looks good - BUT no one should wear an outfit like that on stage unless they have an extreme hardbody. I kept thinking "pull your stomach in!"
If 50 Cent didn't constantly look like he'd just woken up from a 20 year coma and didn't know where he was, his bemused facial expression would have summed up the entire performance.
She's rushed into this far too soon. However, I do like carcrash Britney much better.

I do hope she doesn't give up completely. Gimme More is just too damn good to be consigned to the scrapheap or be given to a lesser mortal than Ms Spears.

The miming was awful, the dancing was awful, the outfit was awful, and the extensions were beyond awful. But it was her expression that was really disturbing - her eyes were completely dead. I genuinely feel bad for her.
...And yet, Sarah Silverman almost made me piss myself laughing.
BTW, anyone wanting to watch it on the link Klee posted above might want to shake a leg - looks as though MTV are about to pull all footage worldwide...

I think doing a shit performance like this will turn out to be a better career move than doing a normal, or good one. Everyone is talking about it, everyone is watching it. I'm sure this won't harm her career at all.

Urgh. Although he's made to look less hideous by some of the comments written below.
RE: The Song, I've done one of my usual U-turns and really quite like it now. It sounds like a Rabbi having a painful orgasm at 2:55.

Like at his other videos, they are classic.

Jesus fucking Christ, Chris Croker is fantastically mental! Britney had better raise her game.
(I'll be so disappointed if he's acting. Although if he is, he's a complete genius. Edit: Oh he is acting isn't he? Edit2: Or is he?)

Any thoughts on the new album then? To me it sounds like they spent a shitload on production in the hope that no-one would notice the songs aren't up to much. The worst offender is Why Should I Be Sad - the Neptunes trading on past glories yet again. For the most part, she has little to say for herself apart from 'I've just seen a guy in a club and I want to shag him.' Which we've all heard from her many, many times before.
Piece Of Me, Radar, Break The Ice and Toy Soldier are all great though.

I heard Hot As Ice when it leaked ages ago and liked it, despite Britney's holding-her-nose voice. Then when the finished versions leaked this week I listened to it again and was like... fuck! This sounds like a totally different song!! It didn't even resemble the sample version. Of course I was listening to Break The Ice.. a completely different track. And I REALLY hope this happens! Britney Spears! On Sesame Street! (Which I didn't even realise they were still making..) DUETTING WITH OSCAR THE GROUCH!!!

Complete disaster of an album- there doesnt seem to be any melodies- just random skwelches and things.
Horrible.

Better than Kylie Better than Rihanna Better than Girls Aloud And certainly better than Leona bloody Lewis.....

If only Outta This World, State of Grace, Everybody, Kiss You All Over and Get Back were the closing songs on the album rather than the last 3 that lose steam. For the first 9 tracks, I think she manages to really inject her personality into them - she's never been able to do that in any other album before I don't think. I understand it's overproduced in places, yet it still sounds raw and is nowhere near as glossy as Tangled Up happens to be.
My order for singles:
01. Gimme More 02. Piece of Me 03. Heaven On Earth 04. Toy Soldier 05. Break The Ice
As if we will get that many though.

I'm probably more disappointed by Kylie, but then I actually expected a decent album from her. Britney has never made a good album, and this is certainly no exception. It's dating faster than milk. This album's basically over already, since it's pretty clear she's not interested in her career at this point. Which was also true of the last album. Why does she bother?

There's probably a clause there that if she fails to complete her obligations then the royalties dry up and she loses a hell of a lot of money.

The latest video of her leaving her assistant at a Gas station in the middle of the night, is genius. I love the fact it's the same day she couldn't get to court to testify, cos she had a "medical condition" that stopped her from leaving the house.
She really is fucking retarded, isn't she?
