Britney's MTV Music Awards performance

In a way i think it's brave of Britney to not be in super top model shape when she went up on stage, i think she looked "healthy" for the first time in her life.
 
She looks fine. She just wasn't fit for whatever reason, and she didn't know the song well enough (no, I'm pretty sure she doesn't write them herself, and certainly doesn't mix them herself ;) ).

She memorised the (humble) dance routine, but not the song ... Probably harder to playback properly if you're not fit also. ;)

Anyway, it looked a bit crap, but the song isn't actually that bad.

Anyway, it's not all that spectacular as it's being made out to be, imho.
 
I think its disgusting that they are making her out to be fat. What the hell kind of message is that sending to the average girl? Hell thats one fine body, pretty much perfect but if thats what the media is now considering "overweight" then I despair.

The performance may have been crap but thats a completely different issue.
 
Well she certainly is slightly overweight, if not really fat. But IMO she's as far from perfect as it gets, regardless of just her weight. Anyway, hopefully this abomination should disappear from the scene and take all the boybands and co. along with it.

EDIT - BTW I refrain, this IS fat (except for Americans maybe ;)):

I would be extremely suprised if either her BMI or her body fat content were in the overweight range.

Anything else is a matter of preference.
 
And as for her career: we all know it was solely based on her being a sweet teenage blondie. She can neither sing, nor play an instrument, nor has she ever written any music herself. All she can actually do is dance and (past tense) look good. Noone cares about dancing really and the teeny hottie image is now gone. So no future career there this way or the other.
 
I actually think she has a good singing voice, mostly though she sings crap so i can't say i like her music all that much. Personally i prefer her body to the current rolemodels avalible, say Nicole Richie or something-spice Beckham. It looks very good and "natural", i can't stress this point enough. She looks hot, perhaps not like a pornstar or bullemic top model.

I'm talking only about her body here though, She as a person i don't really care about.

Yeah I agree. When I first heard of the crappy performance and the pudgy physique I expected to see the worst weight this side of the Niagra Falls, but this is FAR from it. Indeed a very unsalutary policy - psychologists should brace themselves for what's to come :)
 
Anybody who isn't what they used to be, especially if they were once as skinny as a twig, in the eyes of the public has "fallen off the wagon." That being said, let's not forget she's pretty much the embodiment of why other nations mock American culture. Not only is she as dumb as a brick, her music career hasn't been relevant since I was in high school. Not to mention she's hardly a role model for kids anymore, seeing the abundance of off the charts behavior she's been privy to committing, for the sake of absorbing attention.
 
Surely you're being harsh. If Britney is as dumb as a brick, what does that make Jessica Simpson? ;)
 
Actually JS gives me the impression to be the brighter of the two. It's just that BS occasionally seems to be involved in decent music by accident. ;) (Take for instance the song Toxic, loved that.)
 
The problem is not that she's overweight or that she's dumb, but that she's a real drugged-up train wreck. Am I the only one who saw (SAUI) stumbling around under the influence? Hell, she didn't even lip-synch right, etc. If you can't stay sober and clear for 1 single day which is the important day for your comeback and your career, then you've a real problem.

Thus why she's not exactly fodder for the "role models" list. Apparently I'm the only one who saw her pictures from her party days with Paris Hilton.... going commando. I'd wager a large percentage of seemingly wholesome artists have behind closed doors drug issues. Raffi and Steve from "Blues Clues" included, some just hide it better than others.
 
Why am I not surprised to see the Daily Mail spouting this "OMG fat!" shit? In another week they'll be publishing an editorial criticising the media for the increasing levels of anorexia in teenage girls. Bunch of cretins.

Don't think Britney looks bad in the pictures - in fact, I'd say she looks like a perfectly normal, healthy girl. Appearances can be deceptive obviously. ;)
 
Indeed. And she just had some children fcs.

I wouldnt be suprised if she is "overweight". Probably not by much, if at all, but I wouldnt be surprised.

So what if she just had kids. Shes an entertainer by trait, making money off her looks. Shes got a professional trainer, and loads if time to work out.

My wife went down to the exact same size after both our kids, and being older than britney. Without even close to the resources she has.
 
She isn't fat, not even close. I guess my definition of fat isn't scientific, but I much rather look at someone on the slight side of "fat" than someone on the "skinny" side... personal taste.
 
I don't think she's 'fat'-fat at all. She's only 25 (?) and she might have looked more athletic at 20, but after two pregnancies that's to be expected. So that part I could really care less about. What really pisses me off is that people actually like 'her' music and buy the crap 'she' puts out. This girl has a singing voice that I personally find offensive in the same way that Madonna grates on my nerves after listening to more than one song. Let's not even start about their annoying off-stage personalities (which may or may not just be a media creation, granted)

I mean why is it that I can just go down to the local theater and see a mixed choir perform where I'm sure 100% of the artists have better natural singing voices and 100% better technique. Ah yeah - it's the industry. Screw them, I say.

And Toxic, is a mediocre little of-the-rack ditty that owes half its popularity to the accompanying videoclip, let's face it.

Actually Morrissey said it better than my little tirade..

No it's just more lock jawed pop stars, Thicker than pig shit, Nothing to convey
They're so scared to show intelligence, It might smear their lovely career....
