I don't understand the reactions.
I thought Alan was hilarious, tbh. He didn't come off as awkward to me and responded well to Britney's lackluster answers.
In general, I think the interview did what it should of done. They also played the song for the entire duration of the whipping skit, so that's great. And the best scene from the MV!
I really don't know what more everyone expected.
Oh, and she looked really good. The dress looked sort of unflattering in the pictures but it looked cute on camera.
