BS

her outfits shouldn't have to change on stage simply because she is a mother of two kids.

that's some patriarcial bullsh*t if i've ever heard it.

she's a performer, an entertainer she is supposed to make us suspend disbelief.

PurpleCharm said:

yes Brit is a heifer.

I agree! While I do not think the wardrobe was flattering, a mother of two should have the right to wear anything she wants to wear! Whether or not she is a performer, a woman should have the right to go naked without being condemned!

Well after that diabical on MTV, Britney is fucked. MTV is done with her for sure, so now she is in the same boat as Janet. Won't matter what the song sounds like if MTV tells you to fuck off, and if Janet's Superboob tells you anything, MTV is happy to throw female pop stars under the bus when it suits them.

That being said, I do wish Janet would go back to dance pop (BTW, DJ had plenty of dance pop, it just never got recieved well because of Superboob in America...not sure what happened in Europe). Until she does, I don't see her having another hit record...however, I think when she finally gets it, the audience will be there. She won't have "janet." or "Control" numbers....maybe close to COADF, though.

Seriously, Britney’s body was the least problematic aspect of her performance.

Janet's lead singles have sucked. She's being trying to copy the success of That's The Way Love Goes.

VinnyM27 said:

I doubt she will sell 10 million albums like Madonna. Janet has never been as popular as Madonna. She is for the most part a US and Japan act, like Mariah.

But again, she needs to go back to dance pop. She needs to reconnect with her dance audience again.

JackieBlue said:

You got that right

ehuffnsd said:

fuck it, I'd still hit that shit!

gemini13 said:

And it's my prerogative and anyone else to dog her about it.

There's nothing wrong with her body, but it is MY opinion that she chose the wrong outfit for her present body. She is not working with the same body from 5 years ago. She needs to understand that and adjust appropriately.

Rodya24 said:

Chile, get off of your high horse. The world is sad, but definitely NOT because people are commenting on Britney's outfit choice. There are plenty of more pressing things to be sad about.

ehuffnsd said:

You're right! She has the right to wear whatever she chooses. However, as a mother of two, still toting around that baby fat, that costume was a BAD IDEA!

That was compounded by a BAD ATTITUDE, BAD DANCING and BAD LIP SYNCHING!

But yes, she is a performer, an entertainer. Just one that failed miserably at performing and entertaining, last night!

ehuffnsd said:

I hope that wasn't your attempt at being funny.

PurpleCharm said:

Of course. But the fact that there are people who are making comments such as "OMG, she is so fat!" and "What an elephant!" contribute to young girls feeling insecure about their bodies. I think that is sad.

JackieBlue said:

mmm-kay.

sosgemini said:

I don't know what that implies. Do tell.


Was Criss Angel there? Did he do any magic or whatever?

abierman said:

Yeah i have to agree 100%, i didnt have a problem with how she looked at all, which again is this whole "look" double standard, women HAVE to look a certain way and men can go out there and look like a sack of dirt or like they need a bath and no one says a WORD, Britney was the COVER of every major newspaper and got CNN coverage, now didnt she accomplish something with that? My issue was just that the whole thing seemed like it was thrown together about 5 minutes before the show, but thats how i felt about everything MTV puts on. You know back in the 1950's JACKIE GLEASON did a shitty Game show once that lasted a week because it was CRAP and the next week he went out there and apologized to everyone for allowing CRAP like that to be put on, you think MTV is gonna apologize for a show that was put together like shit?

Rodya24 said:

i agree, Brit still has body that any girl at 26 and a mother of two would kill for.

but because we can't see her abs she's fat. it's a sad state on reality when someone who is actully sporting an above average body is labeled fat.

SexyBeautifulOne said:

WHAT BABY FAT?!!

sosgemini said:

Yeah, I also don't know what that implies.

Isel said:

Well said.

gemini13 said:

i'd love to see the photos of the people calling her fat.

one thing that annoys me about Perez he disses on peoples looks all day, as if he is some kind of Greek God.

If I were the producer or an executive at MTV I'd be embarrassed. But then I'd have to actually care about my viewership and personally I don't think MTV or Viacom give a damn about their audience. I find much of their programming severely lacking even in general entertainment value which is why I haven't watched them in years. They and other forms of media have been slinging crap for years and people seem to eat it up. They keep watching, buying, viewing, etc. So some crap opened up a live awards show. I don't know if it matters either way to them.

JackieBlue said:

that i agree with you.

sosgemini said:

Oh, I couldn’t tell. I didn’t want to read too much into it.

BTW, your signature had me rolling.

ehuffnsd said:

I agree 100% as i have said before for a female there is a double standard, looks always come into play for them, but a male performer can come out there and look like shit and like they need a bath and no one says anything about it. Also the weight issue is really annoying and the reason we have people with eating disorders in this country, which are almost always females, and why? Assholes like perez hilton and TMZ saying Britney looked fat.

Isel said:

Hit the nail on the head! This is MTV"s fuckup, too! I think MTV is very good at passing the buck and coming out of stuff smelling like a rose. I wouldn't be shocked to hear spin on the channel during one of the few moments they are live or during their news. That's what happened with Janet for sure. Justin and MTV are the same in that respect....judging from one article, Justin is MTV and MTV is better than ever...seriously, there is an AP article praising the show but that does jab at Britney.

MTV and/or the producers should have been on top of this. I know that Prince, in 1992 (or whenever he performed doing "Gett Off"...1991?) wouldn't let anyone see what he was doing. Fine, but Prince is someone you can trust to be give an excellent performance. Britney 2007, not as reliable! They should have seen what she was going to do first. And let's say the rumour I heard that she was effected by what she heard Sarah Silverman was going to say....if that was the case, let's face it...they are on a delay! They could have pulled the plug....they could have said a bomb went off or something (hell, a bomb did go off). Maybe I'm putting too much of the blame on MTV, but what the fuck is the point of airing a terrible performance like that...was it on purpose. Was it so Justin, their golden buttboy could get a good laugh? If it wasn't and this was supposed to be an awesome performance, what happened?

And let's get into the Madonna and Janet stuff.

Britney, unlike Madonna, is not media saavy at all. It seems clear that she had good people who worked for her but not anymore. I don't doubt there is a huge sycophant factor that is affecting her work and her life. But even at some point, I think it's just her and she won't listen to anybody (at least the media is painting it that way). I mean, ok, if you want to go it on your own and even try and fail, fine...but this is becoming the stuff of legend! And while sycophants are the worst parasites ever (the most disturbing being that greasy guy that hangs around Paris Hilton and insulted Lindsey Lohan), at some point, you'd almost be embrassed to be Britney's hanger on!

Now to Janet....Britney isn't like Janet because she didn't even try! Janet, despite one iffy and one lackluster album, seems to care to some extent and has a soul...I don't know if Britney has anything there anymore. People have questioned Janet wanting to be in this business, but something like "The Velvet Rope" shows she has some soul and passion....Can we say the same about Britney?

Also, I don't think this can be blamed on the type of Madonna/Janet/Britney type of performance being in the past. There will always be those type of pop stars and performers (and lets face it...no matter if her next album is shitty, Madonna will have another sellout tour and would have probably been awesome if she was on the MTV awards). Britney was just off in every way. It wasn't just that she had a bit of a belly....It wasn't just that she stopped lip-synching at one point...it wasn't that she was barely moving. It was all of it combined! If she would have been into it all the way, the audience would have been too and it would have been at least a minor success.

I never called the girl an elephant but that my dear is baby fat!

I say she should have gone with the outfit she had on during rehearsals...

I was not ONE of the people that called her fat or an elephant. I said that she made a bad choice in her attire, so you piggy-backing someone's comment to me, talking about how sad the world is, is a bit strange.

Exactly 100% right. MEDIA of all forms use to filter things and really put shit out that was really good, sure shit got through, shit will always get through. But look at News shows, they are shot like Videos at this point and what the media reports about on a daily basis shows that they are just as bad, and why not they are all owned by the same thing.
