[Oprah Winfrey.]

The uk charts always showed more love to Britney

Aww all the nostalgia… such a special time in music and pop culture. Soo cute the BBC did this. 
 Maybe ITV can do the same with all of the CDUK performances

Also correct me if I’m wrong but I think all TOTP performances were lipped

I think she dances more these days …. I think it was just her body and movements were more fluid with swagger … but  I believe her when she says Vegas was the hardest show she’s ever done dancing wise …

It was pretty common to lipsync on TOTP lol

I don’t think I remember any artists singing live on TOTP so I assumed it was a production thing

Love this. 

Although, I've always thought the pre recorded vocals for Lucky were so badly mixed and the vocals themselves are honestly really bad. I dunno why they thought that would be acceptable.

The BBC re-aired EIGHT Britney performances, from their various TV shows between 1999-2004, on a programme called Britney at the BBC tonight at 7pm on BBC2.

The performances looked great! There were a few interview inserts and fun facts included as well.

The ad lib she used to do during the baby one more time performances .. remains one of my favorite Britney performance moments of all time … I miss that ad-lib

It’s so sad that she really wanted to be taken seriously as an artist early in her career and really wanted to sing live … they ruined the confidence she had in her voice 

I always show people her 98-01 performances when the “she can’t sing” topic arises. Leave ‘em in awe like she did me all those years ago 🥰

I have ONE complaint XD 
Why in the overprotected perfomance some shots looks dark? and in the same video from youtube, the tv rip looks ok.  Kinda sad 

It seems to have been darkened in spots.

I presume for anti-seizure safety purposes.

Here's an HD version without the darkened spots.

edit: I'm confused. So apparently, TOTP in 2002 was in widescreen SD? Widescreen SD was a thing in British TV?
