Also I feel like she forgot she was performing on stage.

Not gonna lie, I started stanning for her after this performance + the Blackout leaks.

Apparently she was wasted through the entire thing. And some people thought they saw Rihanna laughing at her in the audience ...ouch!

She probably wasn't laughing at Britney, but the camera man
was ****ed up for putting the cam on Rih at that particular moment..

50 Cent's expression at the end is PRICELESS THOUGH!!!

I used to really like her before, she was my teen idol. But after this and her whole meltdown I went full stan mode. The way the world just turned on her, and having 40 paparazzies behind you, it was heartbreaking.

One of the best performances in VMA history. Britney totally solidified herself as pop royalty that day.

Well first of all her body was NOT in shape, she was flabby. She started poorly and ended poorly, so no one remembers the middle of the dance when she was more confident.

Also just noticed colored contacts? Her eyes aren't naturally blue.

Rihanna and Chris Brown were laughing at the strippers.

[PopFan]

Rihanna......

[Rock That Beat...]

It was a big ass mess. But looking back at it, Rihanna is a mess for laughing at this performance when her ass can't even do this in her sleep.

it's trash and I love it

A hat and a one-piece costume could have done wonders. I still think she looked hot.

[Sunlighter]

It was average, not horrible. She was killing some of it though, and the blue contacts.

[MinajMeBeyonce]

It was pretty unorganized and all over the place. Britney didn't seem like she was happy or even wanted to be there it was sad to watch. But the Blackout era as a whole was amazing. Her music was ahead of anything that was out then.

[vamp]

It's a badass performance. I wouldn't have expected anything else from Britney for a song like Gimme More. **** Britney at it's finest.

Too bad her spirit and confidence was forever tarnished by it.

The thing is, the whole "meltdown" thing actually came to a boiling point in 2007/08 when it actually started around the time she broke up with Justin Timberlake and the media blamed her for it. Up until that point the media had basically praised and worshipped her and she was loved by everyone but then she was blamed for the breakup and the press turned on her overnight. it got worse when she got involved with K Fed as a kind of "up yours" to the media, and became party pals with Paris and Lindsay.
