MTV Awards
Did anyone watch? Was it as bad as everyone's saying? Think she'll pack her bags and go home now? |

| I saw it!
I feel bad for her. I mean, ALL the tabloids and news and everyone is talking about how horrible she was (and she was). I just feel bad that anyone has to hear all the mean-spiritedness that is attached to what they're saying. It's not just, Oh she was bad. It's She was horrible her career is over she needs to wake up she is fat... But it was a VERY bad performance. She lip synched like she always does, which is fine I guess, but she seemed so out of it and dead in her expressions and she almost seemed like she was in slow motion and she almost stumbled a few times. It was just sad to watch. I feel like she needs to either put the time and energy in and actually make it happen, or just go away and accept that she's not on top anymore. Oh, and apparently she was out partying every night leading up to her performance until 3 and 5 in the morning... |
| I didn't see it, but watched the online video. She did seem lethargic, no life or snap to her motions. I would have certainly picked a better outfit too. That black sequined bikini did NOT do a thing for her at all.
If she wanted to move slow and dreamy, an outfit that was more in tune with her actions would have been a better match. |
| That's hilarious. I'll have to look up the video now although I expect there to be repeats. I always want her to make a comeback and feel she has been stalked to a degree that would make anyone go insane, but when you're given a great opportunity and you absolutely BLOW IT, you deserve everything you get!!!!!!!!! What an idiot@! |
| Supposedly MTV won't be replaying the show (like they usually do). They said whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... |
| Her performance was awful and I was hoping it would be! I tuned in just to see her open the show.
She looked like she was just marking the performance. Like somebody didn't tell her this was the real thing and she didn't know the cameras were rolling. She needs somebody to slap her across the face and tell her to stop being an idiot. She's too big for her britches in more than one way!! |
| I saw it online last night.
She looked like she was just walking around, not performing. It was so weird. |
| It was HORRIBLE! Everything about it was horrible except her backup dancers. The beginning shots showed her hair extensions close up. I started to feel bad for her, but it went downhill quickly. I started to laugh! It was like a Madonna S&M comeback gone horribly awry. Brittany just needs to go home and a Mom. Her days on stage are over. |

Thanks for the link,  .......that was awful!
I forgot it was on and switched it on to see Pam Anderson and Kanye West, that was equally as bad. I grew up on MTV, so it's kind of sad to see how bad it's gotten. |
Darn it the link doesn't work now, due to viacom's copyright...i've been reading about this all day and wanted to see how bad it really was...  |
| cya - I'm not sure if what you're saying is ...any link wouldn't work where you're at, but just in case, here's one more with the performance.

| Here is another link without the commercials...
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a43_1189391159 I think she should have waited a little longer to make her "comeback". The song performed (not sang) didn't sound too bad. I feel sorry for her too as I do for most of the child stars. |
| I don't know if time has anything to do with it, though. It's been a year since her last kid was born...Gwen Stefani was already back out there performing awesomely after her son was born. I think she's just not with it anymore, for whatever reason.
I just don't know why she even tries to perform. |
| She can use some money to fight the custody battle which she wouldn't need to fight except that she has money.
How long b4 she's bankrupt and hawking 99% interest loans with Gary Coleman and/or MC Hammer? |
| Who ever would have thunk that KFed would turn out to be the stable parent?????? |

I agree that it was a terrible performance and a very poor choice of costume, but I wouldn't call her fat. I think that's kind of harsh. She just wasn't in the right shape to be wearing a bikini as her outfit, but a better choice of clothes could've improved her look a lot. I think that part if the least of her problems though. She looked a million miles away. |

I agree.. the wardrobe choice was not pleasant, but she's not fat. She's just not a stick like a lot of other celebrity women. It would be nice if there was a little more range in weight so young teenage girls wouldn't feel so much pressure to conform to one body type. 
That said, though, the performance was pretty bad. Kind of looked like an amateur talent show with someone impersonating a famous singer. I don't think she was ready for her comeback. She seems to have some issues (mentally, emotionally) to workout before she can concentrate on things like performing. |
| It looked like she had never danced in public before, and was unsure of the choreography. To my untrained eye, there didn't appear to be a single backup dancer that didn't looker "sharper" than she did.
Watching it again, her face has matured into the face of a beautiful woman; perhaps she could have not been unclothed and reinvented herself as a more mature entertainer more modestly/seductively dressed ala Marylin Monroe in Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend... oh but then again this was MTV. |
Wow, i'm afraid my daughter doesn't stand a chance if that is what society is considering to be "fat" now  . Everyone, all over the media, is calling Brittney "fat", rather than saying she looks great but should have picked a more flattering outfit. Little girls watch the news, and hear/read these comments, then they go look in the mirror and what are they supposed to think??? Her performance was awful, but it had nothing to do with her waistline.
I've heard it said before, and I can see that it's true... being overweight is one of the few things left that society still thinks it's OK to make fun of people for or to ridicule out loud. I really don't see that as any different than making fun of someone for a speech impediment, a huge birthmark, a limp, or anything else... it's just plain rude to call someone fat, especially when used as an insult... that is what makes kids think there's something so bad about being overweight to the point of developing eating disorders, the fear of that stigma. Now I'm not advocating telling kids it's good to be overweight (and parents certainly have a responsibility not to allow their children to become obese), but they shouldn't be told (or shown) that it's OK to make fun of it, as there are some people who simply will NEVER be thin, even if they are in 100% good health. When I was 16, I had a 26 inch waist, but because my tummy wasn't completely flat, I STILL thought I was "fat". Now I'm at the point where I'd give just about anything to be as "fat" as Brittney. I guess we can't all be perfect skinny flat-tummied models. If people here on the forum think brittney is fat, It makes me wonder what they will be thinking/saying about me when/if they meet me??? 
Ok, I'm off my soapbox. |
| Let's talk about "fat" for a minute. Brittney looked thick in that outfit. She looked pretty healthy and mature and not a stick figure but she was not in bikini wearing on national tv shape. Just based on working in television, she probably is on the smaller side for "normal" people but the camera adds 10 pounds is an understatement sometimes!!! She definitely should have worn a different outfit!!
I think we need to differentiate between healthy and fat. There is a disturbing trend in teenagers who are completely out of shape to the point of having beer bellies!!! And even worse, they are wearing shirts that either accentuate it or let it hang out!!! I am totally disgusted by this!!! While I don't think stick figures are appropriate role models for our youth, neither is Chris Farley. (Think fat guy in a little coat!) We really need to stress healthy physiques that are appropriate for body type. If we begin to tell girls that it's not okay to be skinny and that "fat" is more correct then that's an innapropriate role model too. Teach kids to be active and eat in a healthy manner and that if they feel good then it's okay!! |
| I agree that her performance was horrid, but I would love to be fat and look like that. |

Teach kids to be active and eat in a healthy manner and that if they feel good then it's okay!! I agree. It's so hard to argue about 'fat issues' because it is such a sensitive subject to so many people. While there are a lot of really skinny, unhealthy role models in hollywood, I've noticed the trend of people saying that there is no way anyone real can look like that--let's teach our children to embrace who they are. Which in theory is fine, but with the growing obesity problem in our culture, it just validates their size for them. And while Britney isn't fat in the real world, she's larger by Hollywood standards--and probably more to what critics are referring to, she's larger than she used to be...so they are comparing fat(ter) Britney to old in shape Britney. You could also argue that there are too many beautiful people in hollywood and it's not fair because the average person isn't beautiful, so why should they be what people look up to. I read that Britney was supposed to wear a corset with that outfit--probably would have made it 100xs better, in terms of flattery. |
| And to me, comparing being fat to having a limp or a speech impediment doesn't work. I mean, yes, there are valid reasons why some people are overweight, but most people can lose weight, not necessarily to become a stick, and it might be harder for them than others, but it's still possible.
I belong to another website where many people are overweight/obese and complain that they can't lose weight because of our medical condition...but then they list what they eat or the amounts and it's obvious that it's not JUST the medical condition. |
Just a small comment here (on the "role model" issue) I think we also need to take into account that teenagers are very "black and white" thinkers...While healthy, appropriate to hight and body-type weight sounds (and is) logical to us....kids just don't think like that.  Its all or nothing. I don't know what a solution would be, other than parents making sure that a realistic message keeps getting through...even if its ignored till they are older. |

It is sad that there are so many overweight children...however, I doubt that any of them are at that weight in an attempt to be like a heavy role model!

I agree about stressing a healthy physique! Although, I don't think anyone would say it's not okay to be skinny. Some people are naturally stick thin, which is fine, but it's more about helping the people who aren't to be okay with their own healthy weight. And it would also be great if teenagers' rolemodels were based on acheivement, and not appearance.  |

No, but it reaffirms it. Like"Well, if he's fat and and successful, then it it's not so bad that I'm fat, too." It winds up being a role model without really trying to be. |
| Well, I finally got around to watching the Youtube version of Britany at the MTV awards....not high on my list of "things to do" (not being a Britany fan).
But, I don't think she looked fat, I think she looked healthy. Her performance lacked "snap" and her face was experessionless. But I have to wonder if there was an "intentional" deadness about it........ All in all I dodn't find it any better or worse than previous perfomances but then I am not wild about Britany. As for her figure..... lots of us would kill for a shape like that after two children!!! |
