It's Britney Bitch! A Comeback to the end.

We had heard that little miss train wreck Britney Spears would kick off the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards at the Palms Casino and Hotel in Vegas last night. There were also thoughts that she would flake out and not show. She did show up, sort of anyway. Britney has given us memorable moments over the years on this very awards show. The Kiss with Madonna, and the Albino Python she wore during her hit single 'Im A Slave For You' were the two biggest live shows of her career. This however was a flaming mess.

She looked out of shape and almost fell during her first dance move. I use the word dance loosely. She was always a better dancer than singer, yet I have seen low level Drag Queens move better. Of course she was not really singing, and could not even keep her lips moving in line with the track. At one point her dancers look like they are trying to slow down to keep up with her. A minute in to the song and she has given up it appears, just going through the motions and trying to stay on her feet. That was a feat all in itself given the combination of pills I am sure she was on.

The crowd of actual stars looked mortified at what they were seeing. I could only imagine what Justin Timberlake was thinking. This was supposed to a comeback to a once bright career. Brit never really had great vocals, but she sounded good on a record and was a entertaining live performer. She has had two children and was married a gutter rat who ran through her fortune and drug her down to his level. This was her shot that not many washed up stars get. She had to clean up, tone up, and show up. The first two were lost on her I guess. If she looked fit and at least danced well, she would have been considered a success.

The song itself, entitled 'Gimme More' is not bad. It is what it is. It's a studio mixed pop track that even Paris Hilton can pump out. Still, we love these songs and do not care if the artist can not really sing live. We come for the dance moves, and stage theatrics that are given in place of vocal talent. Britney was once a master at this. I really wanted to like her again, sadly she must take a little pride in herself first. This might be the end for her music career. The intrigue of what she would look like if she made a comeback is now over. We know, and we laughed. Only a few months until the return of another mess of an ex superstar. We will be pulling for you Whitney.
