Train Wreck! Britney Spears Performance at MTV Video Music Awards Universally Panned - 9/9/2007
For her much anticipated comeback, could Britney Spears have looked any less enthusiastic at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night? (Some described it as looking like a stripper on her first night on the job.) The performance was almost universally panned and it was, to say the least, difficutl to watch. Here's what Entertainment Weekly had to say:I should have known that Britney Spears' big Video Music Awards performance would have been uncomfortable to watch the moment it opened, with that closeup of the weave tracks in the back of her head (seriously, MTV camera folks, didja think that was a flattering angle?). But I wasn't quite prepared for the awkward mess in store, as Britney gallumphed around like a zombie while lip-synching to her new single, "Gimme More."
I was really rooting for Britney to be awesome and get the show off on the right foot. And by all rights, she should have rocked -- "Gimme More" has been received amazingly well (it's no "Toxic," but admit it, it's better than you expected) -- and we have all those fond memories of Brit Brit from VMAs past (with the python, with Madonna and Xtina). But instead of watching a sexy, exciting performance -- a resounding statement that yes, she IS Britney, bitch -- I saw a tentative, confused-looking girl who could barely muster the energy to mouth along with the backing track, let alone work those stilleto boots. Britney, if you're gonna lip-synch, at least be entertaining!
