Britney's Return to "Live" Performing

61. Who is doing her choreography? It's really dull. At least I hope that it was bad choreography and she has not lost the wonderful talent she used to have.

I really hope she is able to pull through this and make a big comeback with her album coming out next week.

62. Oh, come on! All this broad does is manage NOT to fall flat on her face while lip-synching, and people say "She's back!" and "That was great!". Ugh...

64. This was good for a start up performance. She has non stop performances lined up all this week and next week so she will OBVIOUSLY do better. She did a good job. She was obviously tense but hey, every professional performer gets nerves so she will be fine.

65. Everyone gave Brit crap that they found out she does lip synch, like she is the only one who does it. Its just that she screwed up with hers.... Poor Brit.... She looks decent for having two kids. But she must have lost some talent when she had the children, because now she can barely dance, and surely cant come up with a good song. Poor, Poor Brit. She will simply become a 'teen' singer in which only teens like, and then eventually she will fade away. Now a band i am starting to really get into is Fastball..

70. Given the events of the past 18 months or so, expectations for Britney are so low that if she actually shows up, makes it through an entire performance, and doesn’t make a complete fool of herself, it’s considered a complete success.

The big issue here isn’t lip syncing. She does that, everyone knows it, and it doesn’t seem to be an issue for her fans (who are probably too young to remember Milli Vanilli). I don’t even think that an uninspiring, derivative performance (basically Madonna in a can) is the issue – Brit's fans put up with 15 minute performances during her so-called “House of Blues” tour last year, and loved it. Doubtless, many will pay to see her live, even if it is a lip synched, warmed over Madonna performance.

The real issue is whether this kind of performance is going to win her many new fans. Let’s face it, Britney was never a particularly gifted musician – her fame rests almost entirely on her moves in past live performances and videos. I’m no fan, but in her prime, she had that undefinable ‘it’ that briefly made her one of the biggest acts in the entertainment business. This appeal had its limits – it clearly didn’t spill over into the realm of acting, for instance – but for a while, she was one of the biggest acts out there. More importantly, she had sharp management and made good $$$ during her brief time at the top.

The problem is that a lot of the ‘it’ she used to have was based on her image as jail bait near-porn. She doesn’t have that any more, and at 27 year old with two kids, I don’t think she can get it back. It will be interesting to see how the sales figures go for Circus next week. My guess is that they will be similar to, or very slightly better than Blackout last year. Lots of people will say that Blackout was not promoted by the label. True, but when your artist is on the covers of every tabloid magazine or website, and frequently on the 6:00 news, then for good or bad, everyone knows that she has an album coming out, and promotion is superfluous. I suspect that the same people who bought Blackout will buy Circus, but not many more.

71. She is singing along to recording, and she is having that far-away crazy people stare in her eyes. I am still wishing to have sex with her, but only if she does not talk or sing but just wants to have sex. Is OK if she is crazy, as I am wanting crazy sex with her.

72. I don't think you people should judge how she's going to be in the future as a performer by just one performance, considering what she's been through it's a wonder she's doing as good as she is and i thought she looked great and did a good job, she's trying to get back to herself and to me she looks close to it, her illness is a serious one so for her to be up there doing this well is great, i think she will be a great performer again, she hasn't performed for years and i don't count the vma's as a perfomance at all since she obviously was pushed into it prematurely and was not ok or fit at all at that time, keep your head up Brit, don't let anyone take your confidance away from you, just build on it and ignore the people who want to see you fail. BTW she actually looks better than Madonna right now, she doesn't have to try too hard at that, Madonna is way too skinny and has viens sticking out of her body and shouldn't be wearing skimpy outfits anyway, that's not attractive, Brit has the tone and the shape which is, Madonna did not sound good live on her own tour, ask the people who went to her concert and what's with all the Guy bashing that she did on stage, that was not cool. GO BRIT.

73. Oh jeez. Britnet's performance was good period. It is not old Britney, but she has to again get acclimated with the crowds, stage, and EVERYONE'S EXPECTATIONS. Everyone was awed by Britney while in early womanhood, including boys, girls, women and men. She has a hefty challenge in front of her in getting back to achieving those expectations for all of her fans, as well as critics! I think it was wise to have been safe rather than sorry on this performance. We will see better in the coming days! I am sure!

74. When she borrowed the Madonna suit from The Minge, I hope she had it laundered before using it. It wouldn't be good for her to accidentally have a baby with Dim-Rod.
