"It's Britney, bitch."
VMA's 2007 recap:
Well yeah, it was Britney alright. I have to second
starsprinkles comment about feeling a little sad for her, because honestly...I can't really comment on her performance. She did look off kilter and whether it be nerves or something else, for whatever reason she just didn't have it all together last night. My mom and I have discussed the fact that Britney is possibly bi-polar or may even have post-partum depression. Yes, she comes off as a 'trainwreck', but there is something far more deeper and personal going on behind the scenes. We only hear about the subpeona's from Kevin and how 'omg, she backed into a car again' or 'lashed out at another paparazzi'. You must be blind to think that she's just 'gone crazy'. I know depression, I've seen it before firsthand and experienced it myself. You walk around like you're in a haze and you DO feel off. You feel out of touch and lonely. Depression is a dark, nasty monster and with the way Britney has been acting, I absolutely would not be surprised if she isn't suffering from it.
On a lighter note...
Justin made me squee, which I'm still mad at him for. Matt referred to him as my 'boyfriend', thanks alot. I would've given a kidney, my liver, and my first 3 kids to have been in that Southern Hospitality suite. Ohmigod. Everyone seemed a little sad/mad when they'd have to go downstairs, away from the GOOD parties, to the main stage to do whatever. The intimate settings upstairs seemed hellavu lot more entertaining than that shiznit below them.
I was expecting a bit more from the 'big, spectacular' performance at the very end. They (Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, & Justin) performed their collab song for like less than a minute!
Also, I liked the set up this year, but yet I didn't. It seems like the stage keeps getting smaller every time they do one of these. Also, they sure kept the fans as far away from the main stage as possible. Everyone down front was a celebrity! All the 'regular people' were smushed in the back and in the balconies. That's why the parties upstairs in the suites were all the rave! You could not only partake in AMAZING performances, you could reach out and TOUCH your favorite singer!
Well, that's my 2 cents. (Or is it fitty cents?)
