Britney Spears performed Womanizer on the Bambi Awards, Germany’s equivalent to the Oscars, last night. Wearing a black bra and granny panty outfit with a top hat that was more than reminiscent of Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet costume, Britney performed her hit “Womanizer.” It was pretty clear that she was lipsynching the entire song, but she put on a good show.
I’m sorry to say this, but it reminded me way too much of her disastrous 2007 VMA performance. Britney shock her chest and stood and strutted throughout the performance. She really had it together, but the choreography was too similar to her “Gimme More” performance. She pushed a male dancers away just as she did in that show, and she even had her leg grabbed by a guy in the exact same way. She would have done well to hire someone else to work with her on the routine.
Britney looked great, though, if not a lot like Madonna. Photo agency WENN created the side by side of Britney and Madonna below. Britney should have copied some of Madonna’s dance moves too.
Jeez, lighten up. After all, there’s just only so many moves a bimbo hag pop star (see: Madonna) can pull onstage, short of performing live bestiality.
All of Britney’s performances are the same, just her and a bunch of dances strutting around on stage. I really don’t know why anyone would pay to see this. Also the song, Womanizer, is appalling.
But she’s thinner, so all’s good.
(***with MUCH sarcasm!)
she’s 27 years old; mother of two boys; wants to keep performing like Madonna; don’t really see how she can keep up with the music trends; don’t you have to be somewhat intelligent to keep on top? wish her lots of luck tho if that’s her agenda.
How in the world did this no-talent woman ever get where she is? She’s got a nice body, but so do millions of other women…and they can sing and dance better.
I felt the whole thing, the performance and even the song, seemed “recycled,” like I had seen and heard it all before. I personally hate her music, it all sounds manufactured and boringly similar. If you like classic Britney, I’m sure you loved it. I am already sick of her again with all this promo for her “new” stuff and documentary. I’m glad she’s not a raving lunatic anymore, but, I like the performers with actual talent, like Pink and Alicia Keys.
She got there BECAUSE of her body/face.
Duh!!! Thats the kind of culture this is; see all the other no-talents that are getting red carpet treatment and who have photographers following them around all day.
Thi is an immensely shallow and cannibalistic society.
I feel like she was very nervous up until maybe the last 30 seconds of the performance. You can tell she’s very stiff. Though she looks more together than during the VMAs… you could tell she was not with it ithen.
Ahh and so i thought she gettin back on her “star” quality.
this kills the comeback
and yeah did she hire beyonce’s recycling company and used Madonna’s costume for this?
C’moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon
It was awful. Why is this girl collecting awards everywere? She doesn’t deserve them, she’s artistically dead. She was obviously drugged out and unfocused. And this ‘acting-all-dominatrixy-by-pushing-around-male-dancer’ act is getting veeeeeeeerrry boring. Time to either step up or cop out, Britney.
So bored with Brit. Really wish she’d go live quietly somewhere out of reach of the paps/tabs and figure her life out.
Well, hey, as long as she’s there might as well look on the bright side. The performance was mediocre for me but a thousandfold superior to her VMA performance. the side-by-side leg grab perfectly illustrates this. And, that smile she gave at the end broke my heart. Internal monologue: “Did I do good? Really?”
RE:hee
Of course she got there with her looks, I think that was established on MMC…but I don’t think what happens in Hollywood is standard in the rest of America…I think it is more accurate to say Hollywood “is an immensely shallow and cannibalistic society.” I don’t think most Americans hold the same low standards, hence you have very succesful TALENTED artists outselling these “wannabes”, who eventually fade away and end up in Surreal Life. I can see the 2020 cast now…Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse (should she live that long), Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Jenna Jameson, Tara Reid, Brooke Hogan, the entire HILLS cast, and the token old pervert on a liquid and pill diet will be John Mayer….hehehehehe
Yee-awwwwwn.
Brit’s performance was a bit better than I expected, but my standards where she is concerned are quite low.
Slightly off topic..WTF was Meg Ryan doing there???
Her expressions are so contrived, like a doll that just happens to be breathing. It’d be scary if she wasn’t such a halfwit.
Can someone tell me why she has to wear the headset microphone when she isn’t singing?
I didn’t like it. Girl likes to wear her underwear in public, doesn’t she? I guess we should be grateful for that, as there was a time when she didn’t.
The crowd looked positively bored.
She looks great and seems to be back to her old commitment but I still assert not taking a long break is going to spell trouble for her. Too much pressure, which she obviously can’t handle.
It is inconceivable to me that this woman who has questionable talent keeps racking up awards. For what? The standards for Britney are sooo low that people consider this comatose performance to be OMG! Amazing! She’s Back! If Beyonce or Christina did that same performance everyone would be saying how bad it is, yet we should all rejoice that the lip synching, robotic Britney is back. I would have been more impressed if she had actually spent the holiday with her children. Silly me.
I have one word… RETIRE!!!!!!!!!
jeez, dont comfuse britney with something shes not. shes a POP star, not an “artist” like she thinks. she doesnt write her songs, she doenst even sing the songs, all she does is dance (try to dance) and try to entertain people. which is what she does! she is entertaining.
lets not think too much into it.
I thought she looked good but sounded awful. That would be my summary. She was definitely lip-synching, and doing it badly. And the routine was samey.
Tempting to say “must try harder” but if you think back to the bald, umbrella-wielding Britney it has to be progress of sorts. Doesn’t it?…
I don’t think she was lip-syncing 100%. Thought I heard her voice through several times.
She does look great.
It takes a team of professionals plus one firm father to get her there and keep her going, but she looks great and is at least performing again. No, she’ll never be the Britney from yore, but she’s got a solid shot at creating a Britney for the future, no matter how much Duct Tape and anti-depressant/psychotic medication is holding her together. The woman is still young enough to keep working and I’m sure it’s good for her. Plus, she’s got to re-coup the money she blew through when she was losing it. I give her kudos for getting out there.
In that header pic she’s smiling that super forced smile she always does. I always find it unsettling. I’m very glad she’s doing so much better, but someone made a great point when they said the standards for her are SO LOW that just doing a decent performance gets raves. That smile, it’s just so…forced. Nothing in the eyes. Is she doing this because she wants to or because she feels she has to or is someone making her (cash cow & all)? Or because she doesn’t know anything else?
Ugh, I feel sorry for her, I can’t help it.
The German ‘Bimbo’ Awards more like it!
AH, the top hat again. Britney is balding.
i love britney, and her music
but come on! that was a horrible performance, the only difference from her VMA train wreck was that she wasn’t a fat-ass anymore..
she seems so awkward on stage nowadays, she just pushes people and makes random hand gestures and considers it dancing!
she used to be an amazing performer, i used to always enjoy her really dancing, not just kicking and strutting in fish-net stockings
we miss you!
Poor Britney! She just looked so nervous! And with every right to be! People are just waiting for the poor girl to F*k up again.
Go Britney I say! I wish her all the best!
You could tell she was uncomfortable when she was given her award to!
Go Brit!
Go Brit! I wish her continued success and happiness. She does have tons of talent! Why does she continue to break all sorts of records with her video downloads, #1 songs and album sales. It’s not just because she is pretty. She is a hard worker and it shows. She is great!
