This was awful. I'm sorry, but I don't see how anyone could excuse this mess?
Compared to all of her other VMA performances this looks so amateurish and poorly produced.
Britney herself was awkward as **** on the stage, didn't pull off enough choreo, and that pointless mic was just embarrassing.
Both Britney and MTV should be ashamed of this mess. I hope Britney never performs there anymore if they are going to treat her like this. Extremely disappointed overall.
