Title: Why is the LA Times dragging Brit like this?
Post by: CHOKE on August 29, 2016, 02:10:10 AM
Britney can't come close to matching Beyonc??s fire at MTV VMAs

(http://www.trbimg.com/img-57c3bec2/turbine/la-et-ms-mtv-video-music-awards-2016-show-highlights-photos/750/750x422)

QuoteThey were perhaps the saddest words ever glimpsed on MTV: ?Britney Spears returns to the VMA stage in 10 minutes.?

Rendered as an on-screen caption in the wake of Beyonc??s epic throwdown on Sunday?s Video Music Awards, the sentence wasn?t supposed to trigger pity. After all, this year?s edition of MTV?s annual bash, broadcast live from New York?s Madison Square Garden, had been breathlessly hyped in advance as a comeback for Spears, who after a long spell in the pop-culture wilderness (a.k.a. Las Vegas) appears to have her head in the game again.

And truth be told, the singer?s performance of ?Make Me?,? from the very strong album she released Friday, was no tragedy: Wearing a sparkly yellow leotard, Spears danced with a fair amount of the feline energy that made her the original VMAs phenom back in the early 2000s. (As for her singing, well, let?s just say she lip-synced the right words.)

But whoever allowed Spears to perform after Beyonc? must have had sabotage in mind, for nothing could?ve killed the anticipation for the former teen-pop queen ? or made her old-fashioned display look less relevant ? than Beyonc??s virtuosic medley of songs from her hit album ?Lemonade.?

Pretty mean and unnecessary, but true I guess

They should've had her open the show. She has more power than even her "team" seems to realize. she didn't have to accept that slot

Yeah, I agree she shouldn't have went after Bey.

I never understood why people and the media attack Brit the way that they do tho. She never really bothers anyone.

The hype is what gets people I think

MTV always hypes up her performances
Title: Re: Why is the LA Times dragging Brit like this?

But the hype was worth it this time because she fucking delivered. This was her best performance in a long ass time. A very long ass time tbh.

yes Britney was underwhelming. She just dances with her hands now and her lipsynching was pretty badly done too.
Seems like all the artists who lip constantly go to Vegas....Britney, Mariah, Celine. Ch

MTV is so shady..... and disgusting. Like an article said, why hype up her performance like that just to sabotage her? It's like they purposely set up her up to fail... They knew exactly what they were doing. Anything to spark controversy and comparisons, knowing Brit would get lashed. I hope Brit doesn't even PISS near one of their stages again.

I honestly believe MTV had good intentions by placing her in that slot and thinking she'd come to her VMA glory and work ten times hard to do so because she was following Queen. What she did was.. well... underperform.

I don't agree. They knew putting Brit behind Yonka would spark comparisons and Brit ultimately getting dragged. Y'all were hollering as soon as they said Brit was next. SHSJSJSSJSSSSHHHHHGHHHGG :uhh:

I agree. There were memes immediately after Bey left the stage.
All about how inferior whoever came after her would be.
Anyone that followed her that wasn't going to put on a BIG show was going to get dragged.
