Watch Britney Spears' VMA 2007 Performance


Missed Britney Spears' VMA performance last nite???

Check it out here!

Britney's VMA '07 Performance

Review:

There's not much to say about this one! Where is the old Britney?? Britney attempted to make a huge comeback but her performance told otherwise. Given, the song is a hit, but for a VMA opener, it seemed to close the door on Britney's intense comeback. The dance movements were slow and simple, definitely not comparing to her outrageous dance numbers in the past. Looking extremely lathargic, she completed very little dance movements, unless you consider swinging your arms part of a choreographed dance. She even seemed to have forgotten the art of lip synching -- make it look like you're not! Plus, I thought the whole reason for lip synching was because the hardcore dancing took precedent -- so as not to run out of breath. But what dance movements was she doing that would cause her do so? Who knows. If you ask me, she was nervous and lost. Or maybe tired. Partying until 3am the night before probably didn't help much. Also, I think a little more creativity could have been put forth for her outfit. I guess all we can do is wait for her music videos and CD release this upcoming November 13.
