brit blew it. part of me was wanting her to fail so bad and part of me wanted her to shock everyone. sure she shocked but it was the wrong kind of shock lol!

Shitney was even more horrible that i expected. i expected her to suck when i read the reports of her psrtying days before the performance. but even i did not expect it to be so spectacularly bad. she looked as if someone had forced her to go onstage so she was damned if she was going to perform. i wonder who forced her to wear a bra 2 sizes too small, and a bikini bottom that showed the world the size of her beer gut? i wonder who told her she could walk much less dance in stiletto boots? stick a fork in her — she's so done.

I could not wait for this post…mostly because I want to see if anyone really talks about it.

I was a Britney fan, and while I've been disappointed in her actions and lack of good judgement, I secretly in my heart wanted her to succeed. When I heard her new single, all 12 words of it, I thought maybe she had a chance. I thought maybe if she had a little success she would snap out of it and come back to reality. At this point, I don't have anything good or bad to say about her. Nothing good for obvious reasons, and nothing bad because I can't kick people when they are down. Last night was proof positive that Brit has no idea what's going on, and she's turned herself into a washed up wild child that doesn't realize she's washed up yet…which to me is worse than anything else. Most of us have some sense of awareness, and to be living in a world that you actually think a bra and boy shorts are a good choice for the VMA's - or that the performance was anywhere near the level it should have been, it's more sad than anything.

That being said…I will no longer consider myself ANY sort of Britney supporter, except for one that hopes she gets it - and soon - and gets the help she so obviously needs.

I loved her dance moves. She seriously didn't even use full range of motion. She just walked across the stage and everyone danced around her.

And then there was the outfit. That would have been hot on her about 5 years ago. And the beer belly was freaking me out.

Sara Silverman was killing me after her performance. "The two cutest mistakes".

i was a little depressed by this. i had been so freakin' excited for it b/c i figured it would be a shit show.. it wasnt a shit show, it was just pathetic.

its like watching mj perform, barely moving, def. not singing.

She was like half asleep. At the end it seemed like she just stopped lip syncing.

*synching*. I'm type synching today.

her people released a statment saying her performance was supposed to have flying and stuff, and "last minute" they told her the stage couldn't support it and she couldn't do it. Turns out "last minute" was Friday. Maybe instead of partying all weekend, she should have been reworking her routine. I think they made it worse coming out with a statment like that, considering all the party pics.

I thought that was how she warmed up. Some singers to voice scales or meditating, she's got her own method.

I see, juju. Well I quite expect vocal coaches across the nation to pick up that technique…it worked brilliantly. :)

The typing is not happening for me today. *Like to do voice scales*. I should hang at Perez more so I can get smarter.

It's all very technical.

Everything about the performance says tired stripper at that bar by the airport to me. Like she's working her third shift in a row and just wants to get home but remembers she has two children and probably won't get any piece there either.

*peace*

You got to love Sarah for calling Britney out for her abusive nature! Britney told her children were mistakes remember?! Sarah told Brit off and reminded us of the bad mother case against her. Obviously the MTV people lothe and hate Britney because they know her better than we do..

As much as I wasn't a fan of the Britney of yesterday - vacuous blonde girl, dancing provocatively and singing inane 'sexy' lyrics does nothing for me - but I feel for her. This performance is proof positive that her life is in the ditch. If she had good people around her, they would not have let her taken to the stage.

I'd like to say that I hope this was a wakeup call for her. Too bad there have been quite a few of those but she just doesn't seem to be taking any of those calls.

It sort of looked like Britney but she was truly a shadow of her former self. I really hope she wasn't satisfied with what she did. Ahhhhhhh, someone shake that girl back into reality. This one, not the one in her ratty extension filled head.

is it jsut me? i hate sarah silverman.. hate her. sometimes shes funny- poking fun at celebs, and i know her whole racists thing is supposed to be an act… but i dont believe it.

I have a love hate thing with her too. Some of her jokes seem like she's trying very hard to be shocking but forgets the humor part.

Can't stand Sarah Silverman. She does the same "thing" as Kathy Griffin but Kathy's funny and not so mean or obvious with her jokes.

I think Sarah is hilarious in a painful kind of way. She makes you laugh and cringe at the same time.

Granted-TMZ will cull out the worst bits for their montage but still…
Britney seems to be tripping over her own feet at times, like a little girl trying on mommy's S&M boots for the first time. She seemed to be off-balance, weary, lost. For a crucially important "it's Britney, bitches!" comeback performance it was profoundly sad.

yea i see that, but i think there is too much of it. sometimes when im cringing im like this is satirical. because its constant and i agree with juj sometimes there is too much shock and not enough funny.

@gayledi - if i were to address you in short form, should i go with gay or ledi and also, how is ledi pronounced (i always wonder that)? I agree that she does a similar thing to kathy griffin - i dont like her either though

She just makes me cringe, both Sarah and Britney.

"this isn't satirical" is what i meant

I felt like I was watching a slow motion dress rehearsal. I could not believe it was so colossaly bad! Did no one with the show watch her rehearse and try to stop it??? I souldn't even laugh because I couldn't believe this was actually happening on the stage!

The audience seemed to feel the same way.

yea - you watch it and think - everyone clearly hates her, or someone would have tried to stop it.

Wow. I just watched the clip, because I knew from these comments it was a total trainwreck. The bad hair… the outfit… the LAME song and lip-synching. That is just sad! I loved that they shot to Rihanna and some of the other "new" stars in the audience for their reactions.

I'm sure Paris thought is was funny with her grandma hair.

Sort of a "Beware, this could be you in five years."

I have to say, though, to the Paris comment, I thought she looked very demure and mature.

As much as I rag on Britney, I think I was kinda hoping she'd wow us all last night.

That said, I DVR'ed the whole, bloody mess. Comic gold!

Oh Britney…you came and you gave without singing. Your career is so shotty and depleting. We miss the girl, but not the woman.

I have never seen someone so stoned be able to stay upright that long. Assuming that can be considered upright.

she stumbled 3 or 4 times, once one of her dancers had to catch her. My favorite cut aways were of P-diddy and 50 cent though. I just hope someone shows her the tape…I mean I'm sure she'll read the stories but she will just think its the media continuing to try and make her look bad. Her stomach was awful though…

I could understand forgetting to lip synch a little if you're really dancing hard, or forgetting your moves a little if you're really singing, but she just stood there… not lip synching… not dancing… not doing anything but staring blankly and looking terrible. I was waiting for her to just sit down and start snacking on some cheetos and a mountain dew slurpie.

But really, why would she need to sing or dance when she's come up with such a classy and profound catchphrase as "It's Britney, bitches".

Britney's people are saying it's all because Sarah made that remark about her little "mistakes"

Britney, excuses are like assholes… everybody's got one!

So, I've been lurking here for quite sometime, but I just couldn't help registering and leaving a comment on this one. Has anyone else seen the blurbs (x17 of course)about someone from Britney's camp yelling at Sarah Silverman and saying her horrible performance was due to her being upset by Sarah's comments? I wonder who they think they are fooling, unless you don't have a pulse or live under a rock, Sarah's bit was post Britney. Personally, I enjoyed when her ankle turned and she stumbled a bit.

P.S.
Did anyone else Dr. Dre looked a bit "overstuffed" ?

maybe Britney will realize how over she really is now….but I doubt it.

She won't. She's already blamed it on MTV pulling the Angel act because they thought it was too dangerous, and then she claimed it was bad because she was so upset after hearing Silverman rehearse her lines backstage.

thats bull silverman doesnt rehrearse, she just vomits and shits what ever she thinks right out of her mouth.

And even if she did, would she or anyone else be stupid enough to have her do it in FRONT of people? Gimme a break.

This isn't even funny anymore…it's simply pathetic. This woman's entire image of herself is so wrapped up in her sexuality that she can't imagine dressing, performing or singing songs unless it reflects a hyper-sexual persona. Her self-esteem issues are crippling her to such a point that she cannot even function without chemical assistance. She's too old now to be blaming others for her failures…everyone has had setbacks, criticisms and jokes made at their expense by the time they reach her age. Arrested development has apparently thwarted her ability to shake it off, rise to the occasion, and overcome adversity. What a pity…

Dr. Dre (what is his specialty?) looks like he had a shot of the roids.

I never should have lent Britney my bedazzler.

Oh come on, neither woman rehearsed. That was patently obvious.

Plus, Silverman was only poking at Spears for calling her kids mistakes.

"I never should have lent Britney my bedazzler."

lol. that should win a commie (if we have them this week)

stupidest move: I never should have lent Britney my bedazzler.

So, aren't the Commies supposed to be today, or what?

New suggestions for Brit's upcoming album. I think her fans might find something more appropriate than "Dignity" or "Down Boy."

….

It's Britney, Bitches. Can I take your order?

2 Lame 2 B A Comeback

Prelude to Penthouse

Surreal Life, Here I Come

Even, Like, Shar's Performance on, Like, Celebrity Rap Stars or Whatever Was, Like, Better Than Mine

lol can i vote with out buying a membership to your fan club? if so i vote for the last one

Unlike Britney, I don't charge people to deal with my lack of talent. Ha ha! I forgot the obvious:

Give Me Less

Too easy, I guess.

Let's not forget "Bald is Beautiful."

How about something simple and to the point.

Before And After.

How about,

I don't f*ck for tracks, just check out my weave?

She looked terrified.

I think Toxic pretty much states it all - only its been redefined…

I'm sure she was nervous, and I would think she might be terrified of getting booed - except it was industry only at the main stage, and I wouldn't expect THEM to boo.

I thought she was gonna get a standing ovation. Until she started her act, that is. Seems like people in the business were rooting for her, or at least claiming to. I swear I saw Chris Brown looking around to see if anyone else was gonna get up. But I also think I spotted Rihanna laughing. It was a pathetic performance- she looked wobbly and uninspired, much like the grainy videos of her House of Blues "tour." In a way I really do feel bad for her, 'cause what else can this girl do? But when you're this bad, it's time to reevaluate your life. I'd ask her what's more important: boozing it up with Cris Angel, or impressing audiences with her showmanship.

You know what pisses me off? MTV had a review of her rehearsal and made it sound like she was really going to pull it off. What the hell? I watched it half hoping for a success, and half hoping for a (bigger) trainwreck. It was disappointing to say the least. Can't wait for the video.

We see video of her everywhere living her life like she doesn't care what anybody thinks. But seeing her last night she just looked like she has zero confidence and is completely unsure of herself.

i feel like mtv should appologise for allowing it.

April, how very British of you.

She didn't look terrified or nervous. Both of those imply actual emotion, terror in particular, which is a strong emotion.

She was completely high, could hardly keep her eyes home, and had absolutely no emotion whatsoever.

I have only one wish for life, and it's not for myself. I just wish our beloved Tom would help Britney. If anyone can help her, it's him. And of course the recently trademarked, Tom-ba juice, pen, powdered drink, or, power bars.

Kitchy I agree…she looked very out of it/on some serious drugs. And I'm not buying the "Sara Silverman made fun of my kids" excuse- the tabs and rags rip on her everyday so what's the difference??? I was rooting for her but now I'm over it.

Why does she still have fans? I used to teach second grade, and there was a boy who did "Bye Bye Bye" better than Brit's performance last night. And he was not, I repeat not a dancer or a singer. Hell, Brooke Hogan does better than Britney at this point, denim chaps or not.

okay, so here's everything i've read today on the subject of britney that's not already been said. i've done the "research" so you guys don't have to. please don't judge me, i'm ashamed of myself already.

The Palms cut the magic tricks out of her act last minute, citing safety concerns.

Sarah Silverman's rehearsal was literally "blah blah blah britney spears blah madonna blah blah" so there's no way she was upset about Sarah's bit, no one had heard it yet.

Britney was supposed to wear a corset top but decided not to at the last minute. why!?!?

She knew she did really badly. some people are saying she mouthed "i'm sorry" at the end of the performance, and she was seen sobbing backstage. it doesn't look like she went out partying that night, she was photographed with her brother going into a hotel and she looked pretty down.

i'm not really a fan of britney besides involuntarily singing along to one of her songs when i hear it, but i do feel bad for her. it seems like some stuff is blown out of proportion, i'm sure if she were an unfit parent child services wouldn't have closed their investigation. she's a mess, and obviously the people who are supposed to be handling her don't give a shit. but honestly, i didn't think it was that bad. i mean, she was a shadow of her former self, but she didn't fall, or start crying or throwing things, and she made it all the way to the end of the song without running off the stage dying of shame.

let's look at the positive things people.

oh, i forgot, Extra offered her a second chance to perform at their studio, saying they felt bad for her.

dont be ashamed g.knee.o - i appreciate your research, i didnt have to do it,

Sorry if someone already mentioned this but did anyone see Rihanna and 50 Cent's reactions? Rihanna was laughing out loud at Britney and poor 50 looked scared and confused….it was fucking hysterical. Their reactions I mean, not the drug addicted slut on stage.

james you are more psychic than even cord. jossip totally mentioned it.

I'm less psychic than a purveyor of crap TV. But thanks.

james_boston, I would like to offer you official membership in the Tom-ba corporation.

I'm thinking Director of Research, how does that sound?

enh? james_boston waltzes in out of nowhere and gets a job? for the love of god, i have shit luck even getting imaginary jobs!

sar, I love you. First and foremost. Didn't you already have a glamourous title? I don't know, but you deserve one.

Research incomplete:
1.Britney had a melt down backstage afterwards, crying hysterically in Cousin Ali's arms.
2.Brit partied until 5AM that night at Bellagio with lots of chemical enhancement.
3.She gave the paps a little, make that several "going commando" money shot(s), again, getting out of the car, again. (That was in front of her brother, BTW) Act out much, Brit?
I guess the positive is…well…OK,… um, she didn't shave her head this time. Yes every cloud has a silver lining…

This Tom-ba? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomba!

As long as you know that most of my "research" will be at area bars, I accept your job offer. Sar, you could be my assistant…after a little while, I always need someone to assist me in bringing the drink to my mouth and back.

And still, I'm a more dignified drunk than Britney.

No, the Tom-ba Juice that is made with 100% all natural Tom Cruise flavor. Not only do we love the taste, it helps lower your thetan levels.

mmmmmmmmm i have a glass every monring with breakfast.

(thats supposed to be the end of et's commercial)

Thanks evil twin but I'll have to decline. I'm allergic to Tom-ba…but I do love Pitts, flavored with Brad. That's my personal addiction, my version of Britney's coke/x/xanax cocktail.

oh james hush up and drink or we'll send a white van for you.

it comes an many flavors, nothing says brainwash like vanilla mint chip.

Yes ma'am…slurp, slurp.

That's a good boy. Now, come with me, and let's ask you some questions, so I can find out how much money you have to donate to the Tom-ba Corporation.

thanks! i have no glamorous title. i have to admit there's some part of me that's really interested in desigining a tomba juice logo and a company look. can i do that? (you'll have to remind me).

i love that there is a tomba on wiki. i can't figure who the seven evil pigs are, but i know travolta's in there.

"Tastes great and full if minerals, Tom-ba Juice is part of this complete earth takeover."

Hmm, we'll have to get Cait's input on that, I believe she's VP of Marketing.

oooh i like that . can we have shirts?
http://www.zazzle.com/cr/desig.....pref=front

sar - take it and make it nice, as our official logo person - design and marketing?

I have to give you money to work for you? Is this some new version of Capitalism? This is beginning to sound like one of those scams where you're gonna take all my money, clothes and dignity and leave me on the strip, stripped.

Sounds kinda fun actually….

we are simply the corpote offshoot of scientology, and now we have you - lest we remind you of what happens to non believers after joining our cult.. er.. religion?

ps - where in boston?

I live in Cambridge across the river actually…well, West Somerville but nobody wants to admit to living in Slumerville. Where are you guys?

as a corp - everywhere, but we incorporated in DE for tax purposes

me personally rozzie. and i dont blame you for not admitting slummerville… but you lied you are really james_cambridge… you, matt damon, ben afflick all liars…

james_boston sounds so much cooler…don't get me started on matt & ben…everyone here hates them but I figure it's jealousy…and the fact that ben was always kinda a dick. But Matt's a cool guy from what people say…i know a lotta people that went to high school with them and they really don't like Ben.

I grew up in Southie but my dad lived near Roslindale after he divorced my mom…on Hyde Park ave. somewhere…so maybe it was in Hyde Park. If there are two more boring towns in Mass. than rozzie and hyde park, well, I dare you to find 'em.

hahahahaha are you kidding?
a. what part of rozzi, cuz someoen got shot at the top of my street two weeks ago, rozzis diverse from money to projects
b. did you ever meet someoen from not boston:
hanover, lee, stoughton, sharon, lynnfield, topsfield, orleans, carver, plympton, islington, westwood, norwood… shall i continue listing boring towns?

i grew up in southie on D & west.

in MA of course. I Hydepark ave starts in rozzi, it might even start in westie. thats cool we are almost neighbors

Run with it, Sar. Southern girls unite!

So you grew up in Southie too? Holy shit! If you weren't a girl, I'd be all over you, LOL! I grew up near the old colony projects…lived with my grandma for a while, then moved back in with my parents, then with my mom to south st. in J.P…again to the projects. J.P. was a fucking relief…I'm mixed and my mom is Black and my dad white…didn't feel particularly great in southie with my dad's family there back in the day (90's). They make Britney seem civilized.

Can we talk about this or are we gonna get in trouble with the powers-that-be?

As for rozzie, I don't think I ever went beyond Roslindale Sq., LOL! There used to be a great DMV right there…great 'cause it was never busy.

Cord never censors what we talk about on here. I do love him for that.

its closed now.

i was on the corner of the accross from the d street projects, now i live off south street in Rozzie (relatively close to where you moved my neighboorhood is divided fake westie/beech street projects)

yea.. southie still istn good for anyone whos not an irish catholic (which i am) closed minded bigot (i am not).

Cord does tend to let us ramble, with only minimal jabs at us in subsequent posts.

Wait a sec, bigots exist in the enlightened north? Say it ain't so, my fellow Irish Catholic diet soda addict…;)

(I keed, I keed.)

Oh they exist cait…the irish side of my family, you should hear some of them. but i got some really cool cousins too tho…it's mostly the old folks like my grandma…i know the bitch loves me but when i was a kid, i also remember her saying some really racist shit about my mom to my dad while i was in the same room. there's always pockets of intolerance up here…just like there must be pockets of tolerance in the south, LOL!

What's funny is that my dad comes from a staunch Irish Catholic family in New York. He was stationed in Selma for flight school, where he met my southern Baptist mother. My NY-based grandfather REFUSED to come to the wedding because he on TV all he had seen of Selma was the March on Selma. He assumed Mom was black, and couldn't decide if that was worse than the fact that she's a Protestant. Sigh. Crazy people.

God Bless the Irish. I thank God everyday I'm only half.

I'm half as well. The rest is an amalgam of southern muttdom, since Mom's about 3/4 Cherokee.
