Britney Spears performance at this years MTV music video awards will undoubtedly be the talk of the town today, but maybe not quite for the reasons she had initially been hoping. The VMA's were supposed to be Brit's big comeback, the performance that catapulted her back into the limelight for her singing rather than her personal life. We were promised she would wow us, that she had great new material and that Britney was totally ready for this show.

Hmmm... In reality what we were actually treated to was a bedraggled looking Britney Spears in some kind of awful black sparkly lingerie set with black high heeled boots. I THINK it was supposed to look ‘Sexy' but I'm not quite sure. Her hair looked greasy and unwashed and she showed zero emotion or stage presence and appeared to be putting no effort into her dance moves which just ended up looking like a sluggish uncoordinated mess. Seriously, check out the video below and tell me if those moves were the efforts of a star who was desperate to impress the public and fans who have been supporting her or of someone who looked like they would just rather be sat at home watching the show on TV?

Perez Hilton has posted an open letter to Britney Spears on his website which you can read HERE However be warned it does contain rather a lot of bad language and Perez definitely doesn't hold back on what he thinks! I know that Britney was offended by Sarah Silverman's harsh comments about her children, calling them "the most adorable mistakes you'll ever see." And yes, I can definitely see why she would have been annoyed about this, I also think the comment was completely out of line, there was no need at all for Britney's kids to be turned into a cheap gag to get a laugh but Britney should have taken this on as extra motivation and thought "You know what, I'm going to go out there and show people I CAN still wow a crowd" instead she took the easy way out and decided to just amble onto the stage and give a half assed performance that just wasn't up to scratch.

I feel sorry for Britney, she obviously still has issues that she needs to work through and maybe she should just wait until things settle down in her personal life before attempting a comeback. The songs are good but if she doesn't give the performances her all then I really don't see the point of her continuing. Let's hope she does better next time! Did you catch the performance?
