She doesn't look that bad - she has a normal person's body, that's it. But because she's Britney Spears, people call her fat and ugly - when most of the people saying don't look half as good as her.
I feel sorry for her a lot of the time, although I would agree that this performance was lazy. Most people expect Britney to lip-sync, although that's because she's usually dancing her ass off! It only works if you chose one or the other. Either she should've sung live and done not much dancing, or mimed and done a great routine. I think the song isn't bad at all but she's definitely shot herself in the foot with this one. Most people were dogging her personal life, now they have ammo against her career.
She really needs to do this again but with a fantastic performance to silence her critics.

Sure she probably isnt as 'toned' as she used to be but after having the kids she wont be as toned due to the elasticity of the skin when pregnant, and it never goes back to how it was unless you are extremely lucky! Also as you get older it gets harder to shift the weight and your body still changes through your early 20's.
RE: The Bra and knickers it is Britneys thing, thats probably why she wore it.
I think she looks curvaceous aand sexy. If she had gotten on that stage and looked like a stick insect she would have gotten slammed for it for encouraging eating disorders. Either way she hasnt won.

After hearing and reading all the britney bashing when I finally got around to watching the video I didnt think it as as bad as everyone has been saying.
Not the good ole britney of years gone by but she didnt seem drunk just a bit nervous and ridgit I think.
She could have worn a better costume but thats not to say she looked 'fat'. Personally I think she looks healthy and fine. She isnt as toned as she used to be like in her 'slave 4 u' video etc but with a little work and more performances to build her confidence back up shell do fine.
Im not a fan of the song though.
Iv been expecting an awesome come back from her for the past couple of years and when I heard this song for the first time i thought it was pretty shit.
It has grown on my slightly but Im still not a fan.
Simon cowell has shown interest in wanting to get her back on track. And i think hed do a great job of getting her back to her old self. He actually said if he was her manager he wouldnt have let her perform, which I think would have been a good idea. Wait for another time to make a huge comeback.
when you compare this performance to her other VMA performances it was lame.
remember her singing with a snake or her and maddona smooching?

I don't care if she weighed 20 pounds more than that or 20 pounds less. Frankly, seeing bras and panties was the highlight of the whole performance.  That was so half-hearted, and that song is so half-ass.  Its like she wasn't putting anything into it. Maybe I'm swayed by gossip about her, but she doesn't seem like she has any control of her career, and she seems like a bad mother. It all just makes her less appealing. I could give her the benefit of the doubt if she seemed like she was going somewhere, or had some concept of an image she wanted to project, but I don't see her making any headway. In short, she's no Madonna. Could be it was just a bad performance, so best of luck to her. |

Concering the costume choice I read in 'US Weekley' that they had another outfit picked out for her that contained a corset and longer bottoms. But she chose to go out in the bra and underwear.

yes I don't think her body was the main issue even though it seems like it...but I think it is that she was wearing that outfit (which lets be honest you have to have the body for) and like slayerLv said she was offered a better costume choice but turned it down so she kind of opened herself up to all the ridicule on her performance....truthfully I do feel bad for her, these days you can't not hear soemthing new about her and it sounds like things are getting worse for her.....it really is sad

She's still hot, but that performance was terrible. I don't buy that it was her shoe either.

I read the paper today and apparently she was told by the Judge/Court to clean up her act (her and K-fed are in a custody battle) and then she went and got hammered.
Any more goss?

Her album leaked a while ago btw. Not really. An album full of 19 demos leaked...it just so happens that 10 of the 12 songs on the ACTUAL album come from these demos. It was a CD that was sent out for people to listen to, and decided which tracks to include on the album. MOSTLY all of the songs on this album were rough demos that had not been mastered yet, and a lot of them have changed so much that the actual songs are even 30 seconds longer or shorter than the demo versions. Expect MUCH higher quality and goodness from the songs on the actual album if you already downloaded the "leaked" demo version. I can't wait!! 10-30-07 HERE WE COME! |

I heard her new song on the radio "Gimme More" and I actually liked it. It was a nice classic Britney and it was good to hear her on the radio again. I think she has a real chance of getting everything back, if she would just smarten up.

Gimme More is pretty catchy, and it is classic Britney-ish. The music video is extremely lacking though, I mean it could be so much more, but shes trying too hard to show off sex appeal. I don't care how hot you are, you not going to have a successful music video if you're just poll dancing(badly) the entire time. I think she should have taken up Madonna on her offer to help her revamp her image. Madonna is quite well known for turning the negative into positive publicity.

If you look at the angle of her lower spine I think any of you would be hard pressed NOT to have a little belly. |
