VMA 2000: How do you think Christina felt having to perform during the same show that Britney gave her legendary Oops performance

[GlitterRain]

Thoughts on this performance? 
 

Definitely, I thought it was fun. I like the beat. So... yeah 

 

Britney’s performance:

Well for me that's a mess compared to Brit's perf, but at least Xtina had the right to have her mic on. Britney's mic was only on - on rehearshal - it seems.

It seems that Christina’s vocals was the only saving grace with this performance

She felt like this:

 

I wasn’t aware of Christina’s performance until now… 

 

Also I had to turn it off after 15 seconds of so called “dancing”

That says everything you need to know 

Also this is a Britney forum so what do you expect

Iconic performance, was one of the highlights that year.

I love Britney and Christina. The fan bases are now adults, can we stop comparing them? They are brilliant in their own ways. These kind of threads make the Britney fan base seem immature and petty. Can we acknowledge they are both legends with acclaim and wealth. They won! 

[bbbsss]

I am sure Xtina was having the time of her life, being a successful 19 year old and performing on stage alongside her peers and other legendary artists.

I thought Britney’s was the highlight as she revealed that diamond costume that made her look like she wasn’t wearing anything. I recall that making the headlines

Hey, I agree but there’s no pettiness happening here. It’s a valid question. I do like Christina but the reality is that in 2000 it was Britney’s year and it must have been hard for Christina to keep up. Unfortunately there was only one queen bee back then and it was Britney. Now a days everyone can dominate! 

[icybaby]

oh. the times ppl can kick a.s.ses on stage))))

she was so skinny god. and sooo like really hard trying to succeed. I think it is not bad performance. I didn't like part in the end. Was it Fred Dusrt? His part was really unnecessary.

But in general she sounded good. It was fun. But the main thing is that they were trying to make her Britney with bigger voice version. And it was just not it. Her moves were kind of bad. But she was def doing her best. I think with young singers it is always trying to get to know who u r and what kind of music u want to make. And clearly this was just not type of performance she was made for.

Stripped and Back to Basics her best eras. She was flawless at a time

I can read, just fine. She didn’t make headlines for that performance though when Britney had everyone talking 

[cubasterd]

I thought it was OK. I remember watching it live with my mom and sister. My sister was big a Christina fan. After Christinas performance my mom said "Britney did better." lol

I initially didn't see the big deal with Britneys performance and was confused about why people thought it was shocking.  At first, I mainly loved the Oops! performance because of the remix but now I love every aspect of the performance. It's a career defining performance.

[Annabanana]

First time watching... Christina's vocals are really good here but of course Britney dances so much better.

Messy side?

xtina's performance was a bit controversial - she performed with fred durst after it was rumored that eminem and him had beef with xtina. so, it was like a  "f you" message to eminem. but anyways, it was obviously overshadowed by britney like everything xtina did from 98 to this day.

Ahhh yes! Now it makes sense why she had him onstage with her. It felt kinda awkward with him doing his thing and then her being all 

[Itsme]

I don’t think she thought anything of it. She’s always thought she was waaay bigger of a deal then she has been
