According to Popcrunch, it’s not completely impossible to imagine having Britney Spears perform for the VMA 2008 despite a spectacular disaster in 2007. Her performance, as you might well remember, was horrible. She was off in her dancing, looked confused most of the time, and she was obviously lip synching.
Wouldn’t that prevent MTV from grabbing her for a performance again? Absolutely not. Despite the epic failure of “Gimme More” that night, it pulled in over seven million viewers because everyone wanted to see what she would do. The fact that it was such a bad performance means at least that many would tune in to see if she would do it again (”oops, I did it again”, sorry, couldn’t help it!) or if she would overcome everything and do well.
If you add to that the fact that Britney was such a headline grabber during her downward spiral earlier this year, people would be eager to see how she does. Granted, a lot of people are happy to see others fail so a great number would probably gleefully tune in just in the hopes of a repeat, but I would personally love to see her pull of something amazing. That’s why I watched last year, and I’d be hopeful again this year.
MTV president Van Toffler said:
“Who knows? I’m not sure how we top Britney opening the show…..We are working on it every minute of every day. Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?”
There’s still hope. I would be really happy to see Britney Spears onstage again - if she’s ready for it. What do you think?
