Britney's performance was pretty bad, like she was dancing in slow motion. I would not call her out of shape though. Only in comparison to her former image, but not bad after having kids.

She's obviously wearing a prostetic belly. Look at the pic on the other page, you can see the seems on her side. It looks like they just did a poor job of masking the edges where they attached it to her.

I caught about 5 minutes of this. I felt myself getting dumber by the second so I turned it.
I thought Alicia Keys looked and sounded awful.
I then heard this morning about the battle of the trailer park guys (Tommy Lee and Kid Rock). People take themselves way too seriously.

This thread scares me.
I hope Britney can get her life together. At least she's not just "a legend in her living room" and not attempting to do anything. Yeah, she's got problems, but who doesn't? And, we don't have to live out our failures and hurt in the public eye.

Just heard on the Kevin & Bean Show 106.7 KROQ in Los Angeles, that the majority of the 'club' performances were done on Friday night. For sure the Kanye one was, because it was dark during his performance, but it was 6 pm.
And Serj from System of a Down said his peformance with the Foo Fighters was done on Friday night.
This to me is unexcusable, pushing this as a 'live', anything can happen type of show.
So for those of us complaining that the Foo Fighters performance should have been a lot longer, the reason they cut away wasn't because something else better was happening live, it's because the producers of this show are f'n idiots.

Well maybe her love of money and power and fame did, but other than that...
She needs to get her life together out of the spotlight. She should take her kids (if the court allows) and move to a small town away from it all and get her life back together.
As it is, she will be pulled over sooner or later for DUI and drugs, unless she is smart enough to hire a driver to take her around.

i don't pitty Britney at all. She's gotten what she deserved. She chose to live a public life and fucking it up, then she must take what's given to her.
On the other hand, I do feel sorry for her kids. Those 2 didn't have any option and I can't believe I'm saying this, but they are better off with K-Fed than with her.

Interesting the the weakest act from even back then were the R&B acts - and now, that seems to be the majority of what gets exposure.

Give A Black Man A Chance
Kanye West has vowed never return to MTV VMAs after leaving the ceremony empty handed.
West - who was nominated for five awards - lost in every category and reportedly threw a fit outside of the Las Vegas show.
According to the Associated Press, West fumed: "That's two years in a row, man...give a black man a chance.
He added: “I'm trying hard, man, I have the...number one record, man."
The report goes on to claim that the Stronger singer – who yesterday labeled Britney Spears’ comeback a 'joke' - vowed never to return to MTV.
This isn’t the first time West has slammed the media giant’s awards policy.
The 31-year-old singer stormed off stage at the MTV Europe Awards when he lost out to Justice v Simian in the Best Video category at the 2006 event.

I don't think anyone deserves to be sliced and diced the way she has. I imagine that if she had known her life would get this out of control and she'd undergo such harsh scrutiny she'd choose otherwise.
I realize I have an opposing view here, but people can be extremely cruel. I guess it makes them feel better about themselves when someone else falls. I heard somewhere that celebrities are like the new mythology for us. We love to see them rise and fall.
I'm rooting for her to get things together, and not because I'm a fan. I don't own one of her CDs.

All I can say is, Madonna is nearly 50 years old (twice Britney's age), and can out perform Britney in her sleep.
I couldn't believe how bad Britney was. Such a shame. I'm not talking about her looks. Sure, she should have covered herself more. I'm talking about the way she performed. It was as if she were a puppet on a string, being pulled by someone who was asleep.
