Original geschrieben von Beast:
Britney war im Verhältnis... total fett, ungelenk und unmotiviert. Und der Rest... ach naja. Die ganze Show ist durch das neue System total durcheinander und scheiße für nen Fernsehzuschauer. Reinfall.

I really don’t have much to say about it, other than it made me feel pretty uncomfortable to watch an out-of-shape fat chick huffing and puffing on stage while trying to lip-sync and dance. Anyway, I hope Britney doesn’t get too down on herself and do something drastic (like get any fatter), because the rest of the show sucked too.

Die war einfach vollkommen neben der Spur, orientierungslos bis zum geht nicht mehr.

Aber sie jetzt irgendwie als fett zu bezeichnen...keine Ahnung, fett sieht für mich anders aus. :D

So last night was the crowning moment in the spectacular return of Britney Spears. And the world has fallen in love all over again. The AP said:

As in most train wrecks, it was hard to focus on just one thing as the Britney Spears disaster unfolded. There was just so much that went wrong. Out-of-synch lip-synching. Lethargic movements that seemed choreographed by a dance instructor for a nursing home. The paunch in place of Spears' once-taut belly. At times she just stopped singing altogether, as if even she knew nothing could save her performance.

Keep in mind, that wasn't an editorial piece, that was a news piece. That was the AP reporting facts. And there's way more. The New York Post said:

...why was Britney Spears' totally lame, pathetically lip-synched Video Music Awards performance at the Palms Casino last night allowed to be seen by the rest of the world? Spears was stuffed into a spangled bra and hot pants and jiggled like Jell-O as she sleepwalked through the song. She didn't seem to care that she danced like she had a pantload, that her lips weren't synched with the song, and that the tune isn't all that great.

And the New York Daily News said:

Glassy-eyed and out of step, Britney seemed lost in a sea of pole dancers and overmuscled male models who groped her so much she wasn't even mouthing the words by the time her number ended. Cuts to the audience revealed fellow artists rolling their eyes. 50 Cent looked like he might have just thrown up in his mouth, and Rihanna was flat-out laughing to a table guest.

X17 has uncovered the truth behind Brit's less than energetic performance tonight.
A source tells X17 Brit found out about Sarah Silverman's crappy line about Britney's babies just moments before she took the stage to perform "Gimme More." Needless to say, Britney was PISSED! ... as any mom would be. Britney was so upset she walked through her performance just to get it over with (despite encouragement from her friends, including Sam who was apparently yelling at Sarah backstage) to skip out on it all together). She held up her end of the bargain and got a major slap in the face from Sarah.

Britney threatened to ditch her VMA performance just minutes before she took the stage. Want to know why? Britney overheard Sarah Silverman rehearsing her monologue in which she calls Britney's babies mistakes and takes jab after jab at Britney.
Britney made it very clear with MTV that Sarah was NOT allowed to talk about her kids, and MTV agreed. That big-mouthed bitch said it anyway.
Sam Lufti was overheard backstage screaming at Sarah Silverman because of her outrageous remarks saying: "Sarah Silverman is a seriously unprofessional person to make fun of infants to get a laugh. Making fun of kids is not condonable," and that "she should have picked on someone her own size."
Perhaps this why Britney looked upset during her performance.
While it is Silverman's job to get a laugh, it should not be at the expense of little babies. Your career must be hurting if you have to turn to bashing infants in order to gain a laugh. You'll get what's yours.

"Kanye was watching the closing performance on a closed-circuit monitor, and he started getting upset," a source who was backstage told MTV News. "He started asking anyone who'd listen why he wasn't allowed to perform on the main stage. 'Why did I perform in just a suite?' he was saying. 'Justin's my boy, but even he gets to perform in both a suite and on the main stage? Something's wrong here.' "
According to a story filed by The Associated Press, West was also upset about being shut out of all five categories he was nominated in. He reportedly yelled, "That's two years in a row, man ... I'm trying hard, man, I have the ... #1 record, man."
