Why is it so hard for some of you to comprehend that Britney was not going for over the top at last year VMA's

She could've done that performance somewhere else but not the VMAs. Saying how she did history there in the commercial but then coming up with that performance? They did everything wrong, that could've went wrong. She could've performed something uptempo there like Liar or DYWTCO instead of Make Me. Maybe using it as an intro but not as a full song with MM&I. Beyoncé deserved all the praise she got for her performance while Britney deserved the criticism. Bad lipping, a weird outfit and that overall lackluster performance. The VMAs used to be her show. Everyone got excited and asked themselves, what she's gonna do this time. If she decides to perform again someday, people wont even care, because they will expect another 2016 performance. 

Not to mention the EPIC promo they did which led us to believe she was going to do something amazing.

We were hyped up for that? I mean... you can understand why fans were so upset about it.

Exactly. They hyped us up with that commercial. That commercial basically lead us to the disappointment because of the hype. 

It was not even worthy watching it a second time lol. Not only fans but also GP. Looking at the dislikes and the comments about her being a has-been, bad lipping etc. It only did more damage to her image.

If it was a MIDTEMPO song with minimal choreography, why didn’t she sing live then? 

Your excuses 

Exactly. 

A subtle performance doesn't equal horrible. Britney's however, did.

i actually like the performace - it was kinda less production to show more of Britney herself and that she's back in true form.

 

But then again, it might have been a last minute decision as they did cancel a POM show and didnt have time to book a proper production company for performance itself.

Then most of the performers that night should have stayed home too

Again though, you’re excusing Britney’s mediocre performance by comparing it to other mediocre performances. Britney had one of the most boring performances of the night.

How does it sound like she has more confidence just speaking in this video than she had actually performing? Smh

[nwonder]

Errr... because it's the vmas. 

That's the one place you bring it or prepared to get overlooked, like what happened.

[Hamper]

I'm pretty sure every fan knows she wasn't going for over the top. We just wish she had done that. 

[toysoldier88]

I liked it but She should have sang the me myself and i part live, maybe they thought to fool us with the nice pre-rec if only she didn t keep the mic 10000 miles from her and mistake the lyrics.

Literally everyone in this thread disagrees with the OP, and it's agreed on both sides of the Britney coin that it was underwhelming as hell. Like, does that not say enough? Why are we even still bringing up the 2016 VMAs?

Make Me was the second song that night to see a huge increase on iTunes after its performance

It made me sad. She looked banging and that was it, it represents the basic performer Britney has become, when all we can truly compliment is her body.

Because of the awesome teaser I dreamt she was going to do a VMA medley: BOMT, Oops, Slave dancebreak, like a virgin with madonna guest starring, the POM 2.0 Gimme More choreo then for the 'something she's never done before' take the mic, explain why she hasn't performed there for 7 years/ where she's at now, and then sing a verse of Make Me acoustic, do the scrapped floor choreo for the chorus then finish with some cute G-Eazy interaction.

Not the G-Eazy tribute featuring a kids party puppet show. Her messing up the lipsync makes me really cringe.

But compared to popular popstars in 2017, she isn't that bad, that is the saddest thing about it.

I don't like any other popstar except maybe pink, and I disagree. Anyone I see sings live or at least pre-records, is wearing something very flattering/cool, has awesome production, interacts with the audience and looks well put together.

Im not a pop fan but I can't believe any other popstar is serving up 20 year old vocals, wearing $20 lingerie sets, hair in a messy bun with self-done makeup, getting guided around the stage, messing up the lipsync while dancing to Zumba like the new BOMT break.

Ive been a fan since 2008 and can honestly say except the BBMAs 2016 nothing performance wise has even come close to adding to her legacy. Her live performance last week was honestly one of my happiest moments as a fan, and that's kinda sad.

I completely agree. 

It alarms me because they still have a terrible attitude to everything. I don't see anything changing in the next year or any year tbh
