Britney Spears "Gimme More" VMA Performance

Well, she did it! It might have been perfect but Britney Spears performed at the last nights VMA awards and it was a good performance overall. The show as a whole was underwhelming and Britney's dancing and choreography was by far the best, in my opinion. Alicia Keys and Rihanna also gave stellar performances.Apparently though, the performance didn't go to plan at all. On-lookers commented that Britney looked upset during her performance and at the end of it, she looked relieved. According to reliable sources, Sarah Silverman, some American D-Lister, said that Britney's kids were "mistakes" and other nasty comments. Britney was said to be distressed.

Additionally, its been revealed that she threatened NOT to peform because MTV wouldn't give her creative control of the performance. She wanted a magic show theme and she had worked with magician Criss Angel - they planned that Britney would dissapear and then re-appear and there would be illusions with mirrors! That would have been brilliant.



So no wonder Britney was a bit upset during her performance :(

MTV said the following...
MTV.com: No snakes. No same-sex kisses. No magic tricks. No skimpy outfits. OK, plenty of skimpy outfits. After all, it's Britney, bitch, right? With one of the most anticipated openings in VMA history, Britney Spears, got the party started Sunday night (September 9) with a James Bond-meets-underground S&M club slither through her new single, "Gimme More."

Opening with a close-up of the back of her head, Spears stared into the camera with the opening lines to "Trouble," made famous by the ultimate Las Vegas legend, Elvis: "If you're lookin' for trouble, you came to the right place/ If you're lookin' for trouble, look right in my face."

The camera panned out to reveal Spears decked out in acres of bling, including a black, jewel-encrusted bra and hot pants, black boots and nothing else. Sashaying in and out of dancers

With images of chandeliers floating on the screen behind her mixed with silhouettes of women befitting the intro reel to a James Bond flick, Spears walked across the stage as her scantily clad dancers worked a series of stripper poles scattered throughout the room.

At least one VIP, 50 Cent, appeared to be enjoying the multimedia experience. And then, after all that hype, a relieved-looking Brit gave a shy smile, whispered "thank you" and exited. in skin-tight leather, Spears sang the refrain "Gimme, gimme more" as she literally stepped over the back of a male dancer and got intimate with another.

What Did You Think About The Performance?
