Forgot how truly shockingly bad this performance was. has there ever been a VMA performance as bad as this?

With that in mind what have been your own worst performances at award shows? Kylie was dire with Justin at the Brit's back in 2004.

Also notice how Rihanna seems to be laughing at Britney. Uncalled for and very bitchy.

I'm actually asking about the VMA performances people think were bad. Did you not read my opening post?

The worst thing about Britney's performance isn't Britney herself but the reaction of the celebs to it. They are all cringing for her. Rihanna however doesn't hide her feelings and is laughing her head off.

Here is that Kylie performance. Although its Justin who is terrible.

It wasn't that bad.

I mean yeah, she looked bored, she couldn't dance, her backing dancing over-shadowed her, she couldnt even be bothered lip-syncing half the time, she -

OK yeah, it was bad.

I hate it when people say she was laughing at her.

You can tell she is in awe of her at the beginning when there is a shot of her, then she is enjoying the performance with her friend.

How can you even say that she was laughing AT her? You don't even know that.

Back to the subject of the actual performance, i'm a huge Britney fan and can admit that out of all her performances she's ever done, it was probably her worst. It wasn't the Britney we were used to seeing, and she even knows that. Her Circus tour was a way of proving she was better than that and i'm sure her Femme Fatale era can only get better than the last.

When Rihanna opened the VMAs in 08 with Disturbia her vocals were beyond awful.

The original routine wasn't actually that different, the thing about the performance is that Britney seemed like she couldn't be bothered, like she was forced into it. Here's how it was supposed to be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2dTK4DFn58

It came at such a low point in her life, someone at MTV should have stopped her going out on that stage, but I suppose they wanted a piece of the controversy and the media circus that had become Britney's life at the time.

I definately think the humilation of this performance pushed her further over the edge because in the months after she hadher boys taken away and ended up being sectioned for mental illness.

Of course they did,
and a year later they completed their little story by giving her a bunch of awards for a substandard video because having her stand there smiling in a pretty dress and better hair extensions was a more exciting chapter. Or maybe they hoped she'd flip out and do something crazy.

It's sickening really.

It's not as bad as people say. Yes she looks drunk, the choreography is awful and the miming is barely there but it's nowhere near 'The worst performance ever'.

Also, I remember at the time people saying 'Oh, she's so fat'. She's nowhere near fat there. Not as toned as 2003 but still not fat.

No we must remember Britney is the fattest person to have ever lived, she's so fat the earth is starting to orbit her.

Yeah the performance wasn't great and should never have happened, but she wasn't that fat!

It's sad. She had far too many "yes" people and not enough "no" people as far as I'm concerned. She should not have been allowed to go out onto that stage in that state.

I've seen it once.

It was at such a low point in her life.

I doubt she even really remembers it

Apparently her X Factor one was terrible too but I thought it was great. Yes, this one was shocking especially compared to her previous snake dance and with Madonna and Christina.
And Rihanna wasn't laughing at her, she was laughing at the pole dancer coming down onto her table.
