At the 25-second mark, we get a full body shot with dancers before the chorus reveals the entire stage. When this particular performance begins, the viewer is exposed to the extreme close-up. Normally, three to six cameras are fixed to capture different angles from varying distances. It is critical to address how cameras work when capturing “live” footage to air. Watching this performance gets me thinking about four things: But if the skeptics saw what a few of us at MTV News were privileged to witness late Friday afternoon (September 7) at the Pearl Concert Theater in the Palms Resort Casino, they would doubt no more (Vineyard). There’s the anticipation (what will she be like?), the worry (what if she doesn’t show?), and the doubt (can she still pull it off?). Spears’ record company, Jive, announced Britney’s fifth studio album would release in October of 2007, after the success of In the Zone (2003), Britney (2001), Oops…I Did it Again (2000), and Baby, One More Time (1999), which, when all combined, have sold more than 40 million copies. MTV released rehearsal footage and an article on their website that sounded promising, saying:īritney’s in the air, Britney’s landed, Britney’s in the building.
When Perez Hilton of posted that MTV confirmed Britney would be opening the VMAs, fans went wild and the suspense heightened with each passing day. As viewers, we saw what the editors wanted us to see: a mess. Still, we can’t hold Britney entirely accountable for the negative response to this colorless performance. MTV’s Video Music Awards (VMAs) paved the avenue, naturally, because Britney is known for her stunning, vivid, and fuel-injected performances that command attention on the hyped, televised event.Īnd while the VMA’s paved the road for a potential comeback, Britney failed to maintain lanes, use her blinkers, and execute proper turns on this route, one which seemed to steer her in the wrong direction.

Hundreds of thousands tuned in for the performance, eyes glued to their TV screens, to witness “the comeback” of the Queen of Pop. September ninth of 2007 was the day Britney Spears was to emerge from the shadows of gossip blogs and tabloids that scathed her reputation since having two kids, shaving her head, beating an SUV with an umbrella, and club hopping when she wasn’t inviting the paparazzi to join her on LA escapades down Sunset Boulevard. “You got my display of affection,” Britney mimed with feigned enthusiasm, “Feels like no one else in the room but you.” And while those were the lyrics to her fresh single from her upcoming fifth studio album, Blackout, the words could not have been any further from the truth.
