Ooops, Brit Does It Again! - Britney Spears Bombs VMA Performance

Just mere moments ago the world witnessed Ms. Britney Spears in her much anticipated comeback. The world was holding it's collective breath as the lights dimmed and the music began. The anticipation was at a fever pitch as the audience, and the millions of viewers at home awaited this much delayed moment.

Heh. Really? No, not really. I think most people actually wanted to see her blow it...and blow it she did!

Don't get me wrong. The song is good, but it's not GREAT. The performance opened up on the back of Britney's craptastic weave and then zoomed out to get a nice shot of her ass hanging out the back of her shorts. What's new there, right? Well, thinking back to that historic performance with the snake, Brit Brit has lost something along the mind...other than her mind, that is.

Her performance was lifeless...It reminded me of Sandra Bullock in Ms.Congeniality when she was thrown into the midst of a beauty pageant with no experience or IDEA what she was doing. It was painfully obvious that she hadn't rehearsed nearly as much as she should have (Britney, that is).

As I watched, it looked as though the brown-eyed-turned-blue girl wasn't quite sure what the words were, which didn't really matter since she was lip syncing anyway...and her movements seemed contrived and not very confident. It's sad really. Britney Spears used to have such a presence on stage, but that seems to have gone out the window (with her sanity).

I don't know if maybe it was nerves, having not done a show this big in quite some time, or if she is simply not the star she used to be. You could see it on the faces of the crowd. 50 Cent looked embarrassed and confused, Rihanna was laughing with her friend (at her, not with Brit), and others just had the same look when someone does something embarrassing and you just look the other way to pretend you hadn't noticed. OUCH!

Sad, sad, sad!

Poor Brit Brit. I had high hopes... NOT!

Actually, I take it back. I do feel bad for her. It was obvious that she wasn't ready for this. She looked visibly nervous and seemed like she wasn't able to concentrate. Poor girl. I mean, the song is not bad. It's actually quite good, she just needs to polish up her act a bit.

Come on Brit! We know you can do it!
