Britney given a chance to make a comeback, and online there is attack after attack
Looking at the photos, I can hardly wonder why. People should show some courtesy, but really, what is she thinking? This is about a singer? Looks more like an attempt at erotic dancing. Guys grabbing girls, girls grabbing girls. This is entertainment?
The MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) are the latest source of dear Britney’s embarassment. Recent reports are that the reason she flopped is because she arrived more than four hours after a scheduled rehearsal. And she had been boozing. Not to mention the report of her being out until at least 3 AM the night before with Miss Paris Hilton and Mr. P. Diddy Doo.
It must have been shocking and sad for fellow performers who would expectedly be impacted by being part of the … event … that then transpired in the public eye in Las Vegas and on TV screens worldwide on Sunday. This was Britney’s first big appearance in four years. She performed her latest song, “Gimme More”, and spectators from the Las Vegas event or just critics observing from TV described it as “nervous” and “shaky”.
An unknown source at MTV supposed alleges that producers were most upset (read: furious) after Britney failed to make the rehearal at 1 PM, the same day as the VMAs. Do they only rehearse a few hours before an event, when they have not been in the public eye for four years? Who is their manager? Smart move.
This inside source relates to New York Post’s gossip column Page Six,
“She didn’t even get to Las Vegas until 4:30 p.m. It was ridiculous. The production people at MTV were freaking out. Nobody can tell Britney what to do anymore. No one can control her. She is a mess.
“She went to her hotel room and ordered a bunch of food and some frozen margaritas. She came down an hour later with a frozen margarita in her hand.
“The dance number was spectacular — without her. When the stand-in was rehearsing with the dancers, in the hours they were all waiting for her, it was amazing. Then Britney showed up and refused to do anything. The more complicated dance moves had to be erased because she couldn’t do them.”
“MTV wanted her to wear a corset outfit. It would have looked great and covered a lot of things up, but she hated it and didn’t think it was sexy enough.”
Ok, even if it was rehearsed with Britney present, do you think anyone would call what the performance was supposed to be real entertainment? I didn’t see the video (I threw out my TV), but from photos online, it looks like something you’d expect from some types of nightclubs.
Hardly suitable entertainment for the kids for whom these “entertainers” are supposedly role models.
Britney should turn over a new leaf. If encouraged, I’m sure she could make a comeback that would bring back old fans and gain new fans.
