If that happens, I hope she takes more chances and reaches for a truly iconic moment. If Glory does as well as it deserves to, we could see Britney back for next year’s VMAs. (That said, he gave hosts Key and Peele their best joke of the evening: “G-Eazy’s like Macklemore for white people.”) Nonetheless, Spears’ performance played well for the awards-show audience at Madison Square Garden, many of whom clearly came specifically to see Beyoncé and Britney - a contingent filed out immediately following Spears’ appearance, even though the show wasn’t over, a sign that her star power still means something. Allowing him to take over so much of the performance cheapened her supserstar brand - I want her to take a page from Beyoncé and shout, “Who the fuck do you think I is?” next time this guy wants a piece of her spotlight. Spears also had to contend with rapper G-Eazy sharing her stage to deliver his pointless “Make Me” rap break. (Camera, meet bat.) And she went on before Britney. Speaking of Beyoncé, she threw Spears a serious challenge at Sunday’s awards: She showed up to steal the night with a medley from her masterpiece Lemonade, with staging that made brilliant artistic use of the awards-show medium. Oh, I can also speak French and Spanish.” I can even do Southern Blues like Beyoncé, or at least have fun trying. I can do reggae-tinged pop like Ariana Grande or any number of Diplo-produced songs. She tours every currently hot pop genre, as if to tell us, “I can do tropical house like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. The record serves as an even better audition piece for Spears’ return: On it, she sings in ways we’ve never heard her do before, employing everything from bluesy vibrato and airy soprano. The MTV appearance doesn’t live up to the album she released on Friday, Glory, which does live up to its title. Sunday’s subdued victory for Spears checks off another box on her way to a revived career - not just as a pop superstar who once was, but as a pop superstar who still is. Here, she demonstrated she was truly back. The last time she overreached at the VMAs, we got a literal closeup on her messy hair extensions followed by an all-too-real look at how messed up she still was. The rule of the performance seemed to be: First, do no harm. Face looking like she’s actually into this, check. The performance didn’t break the ranks of her truly iconic past appearances at the awards show, but she seemed to be playing the scorecard: Outfit, check.
Britney spears gimme more vma tv#
And she came through with the TV premiere of her hit “Make Me.” She looked like golden perfection in a yellow, sparkly bodysuit her distinctive dancing, heavy on slinky burlesque moves, took center stage. In other words, a lot was riding on this.
