I like the thought of all of us in our beds cuddled up watching our queen and remembering why we all fell in love with her 

Spoiler

I really wanted to post the gif of Sarah Paulson laughing in bed from AHS Hotel.  Idk why I couldn’t find it.

My god, I could just watch this on a loop forever. Mesmerizing and breathtaking every single time. 

[It'sBeenAWhile]

Omg...... so many iconic moments in this hour-long vintage I don't even know where to START

The talking in behind each rehearsal performance, the goofy personality, the loud breathing, the star quality UGH

[sunny_liston]

So many thoughts:

1. INCREDIBLE footage.. what a freaking treat! seeing behind the scenes for these iconic performances

2. how tall is wade Robson? dude looks massive

3. she was already a seasoned pro at 18 

4. the live performance of oops ended up being their most perfect take. you can tell some of the timing was slightly off in these rehearsals

5. who is the hero leaking this after 21 years?? what else exists and is being kept under wraps??

6. relating to #5 I hope we eventually get to see BOMT era concert footage, whether concerts themselves or rehearsals. it's a crime that none of that (#1 single / #1 album) tour was professionally recorded

7. never noticed the spider leg look of that raised platform at these VMAs

8. she was already DWAD era ripped here, good lord

She is literally beyond the beyond. Like more talent in her than most all other people combined not kidding. This night probably changed most of our lives let’s be real.

She was actually way more in control of things than even I dreamed?!?!?

[maquisl]

The live vocals  the cute/funny moments, her laugh, the serve... Gosh she was really the best back then. I loved this video 

 

And she's so sweet with everyone 

I hope they keep posting more leaks 

[andy131]

I love her live voice so muchhhhhhhh. We are so blessed to have this video my gosh.

It's incredible to see her like that. And I wanna see the 2016 rehearsal (if the footage exists), to see how things have changed 

[ryannskaggggs]

This has always been my all time favorite performance she's ever done. So to get an almost hour worth of rehearsal footage just slayed my life!!! Thanks to BRITNEYSVAULT for this hidden treasure!!!! 

[Brit52]

I've been feeling really down the past couple weeks with some major life issues, and my husband sat and watched all 3 leaks with me on the big screen

Count your blessings folks

I didn’t even think of that!  I had a long day and I took an edible.  I’m not working at full capacity.

OMG I'm literally tearing, it's like seeing an old friend again, her signing, her dancing, her control

It breaks my heart how a lot of people only focused and cared about her ******* outfit when she had worked so hard to put this epic performance together, the world doesn't deserve her beautiful soul 

[Arwen]

I know the Slave performance is her magnus opus, but this is my personal favorite. The energy she had on that stage was unmatched. 

Kills me that they never released that remix either. I'd want that on a rarities album if we ever get one.

[jennyj]

Seeing her actually be able to speak to the team members and have creative input is so nice.  She really did have a lot of creative control in the beginning which is why she was so iconic and good at her job.

It must have been so miserable and draining to have that all stripped away and just being a puppet to what they want her to do.

I can't wait until she's free again so she can get that fire and love her music and work again.

I love the 'what we always do' and I wonder if she's talking about the prerecorded vocals lmao

I thought the same exact thing. 😂

[anakinskywalker]

I knew it was hard, but never THIS hard. SO much work involved, I feel exhausted just watching this, she was a professional and she was only 18. Also, can we talk about the fact that she is so controlling and perfectionist but manages to be humble at the same time? And that's why I fell in love with her in the first place. And she NAILED the live performance! 

[Britneylandia]

What an artist, no one will ever come close to Britney Spears, ever! She really was the greatest of them all.
 

I really, really want to see the 2016 VMA’s rehearsal!

 

FREE BRITNEY!!!
