The Slave 4 U 2001 VMA performance is not as good as you all think.

[Lou M. Taylor]

Because everytime Britney does those amazing booty movements, a stupid dancer comes in and blocks the view. It happens TWICE!!! AAAAAAAAAH!

[Iamcharlesbass]

That's because MTV kinda censored it, she was too young for that, you can even see a guy in the audience saying no to her with his finger while she's shaking it

She was 19.

And you tell me you don't feel a bit unconfortable with 5H *** shaking, they're the same age, the difference is that they suck at it, while Britney was surprisingly effortlesly ****** at such a young age

I never watch 5H shaking their ***, or shaking anything else for that matter but this sounds stupid. She was wearing a very revealing outfit and her performance was pretty **** overall. I don't see what was wrong with some *** shaking. She looked very mature and grown-up not like those 5H teen anyways. It's not like it was Ariana moving her booty.

I'm very pressed.

Am I bashing her? No, so stfu 

Am saying people at the time didn't really know how to react to a hyper ****** 19 y.o, a lot of people loved it, a lot of people hated it, but everyone talked about it, that's what made her so iconic

Why are you telling me to stfu and down-voting me? That's MTV's point of view not yours, or am I wrong?

**** MTV they didn't even catch her doing the walking backwards move near the end

I personally like the 2000 Oops performance better. 2001 is so iconic now because of the snake and S4U being one of her hottest songs ever. But when you compare the two, 2001 feels a little bit flatter. 

Being a senior in high school at the time, I remember every single person in school, like literally EVERYONE, dying to see what she was going to do after the striptease Oops performance the year before.

While everyone loved it, no one felt it was as electric as 2000. Even the audience kind of gave it a subtle golf clap at the end. Watch the two performances back to back and look at the response at the end of both performances...its night and day. 

People who came of age during that time period like me didnt really love/appreciate S4U til the video came out. 

The performance is iconic now years and years later, but watching it at that time as an "almost adult" it felt kind of gimmicky. 2000 was like her coming out, Im here to take the crown ***** moment, and 2001 was a fun but kind of ehh follow up in the moment back then...And the lipsynching is much more obvious compared to the 2000 performance.

Britney has always owned her sexuality. Those Firth Harmony girls are gloried hookers. They are trying so desperately to be ****, with Britney it took no effort. She just IS ****, and IMO never trashy 

[Barbie Spears]

I can never stop being amazed over how confident and **** she was at the mere age of 18/19

And You're right, it's not as good, it's ******* phenomenal.

Can't believe the purpose of this thread is passing over everyone's head. Anyone writing a wall of text didn't even read the OP and based their response off the title of the thread.

I read it.  But i didn't think the shot of the dancer took away anything.

[brit4u1998]

Her 2000, 2001, and 2003 performances were the great!!!

[King Billy]

Every performance Britney has ever done and every performance Britney evil will do is iconic. That's just the way. 

[GetBack98]

It's amazing but still VMAs 2000 >>>>>>>>>>>

It didn't, I was just expressing my pressedness for not being able to see Brit's graceful butt moves in full.
