Bloggers call Britney "a train wreck"
Monday, September 10, 2007
The blogs have spoken loud and clear about Britney Spears’ would-be “comeback performance” at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night. The verdict can be summed up in two words: Train. Wreck. The performance (YouTube video of which is here) was supposed to be a return to the spotlight for the singer, who is currently embroiled in a custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline, but it quickly became a lightning rod for criticism as the somewhat pudgy Spears forgot words and stumbled through a lacklustre routine. Heckler Spray: said that Britney -- who in previous years has danced with a snake and French-kissed Madonna -- chose to wear “a skimpy outfit that showed off her twice-pregnant gut” and then spent the rest of the performance “lurching around miming her new single, while dancing like your Dad at the end of a wedding reception.”
PerezHilton: the king of celebrity bloggers thought the routine was so bad that he wrote an open letter to the singer in which he said that he was “insulted, offended and disgusted by your “performance” at the VMAs. Are you f…ing serious??? What you did was disrespectful to your few remaining fans. And it was disrespectful to MTV! You didn’t even try!!!!!” Hilton went on to say that Britney should have cancelled her show if she wasn’t ready to perform, that her routine was “beyond pathetic,” and that “the old Britney Spears” would have been embarrassed. He added that she “seemed dead on stage” and “couldn’t even get good hair extensions.”
Jossip: the gossip site said Spears’ “lethargic” performance was “a lackluster sight to behold. Picture, if you will, the slightly overweight washed-up pop star, clad only in an ill-fitting black bikini, lip-syncing lazily to her brand new hit single while halfheartedly gyrating.”
