Now I feel bad. I just don’t “get” her I guess. That’s all.

Jennie, I wasn’t going to say anything… but I couldn’t hold myself back. What you just said is probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard! “Britney has never been a good dancer” WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Her earlier videos? Go watch a live performance!!!!!! Honestly, you need to go to church and confess, because what you said was blasphemy. If you think “OLD” Britney is not a good dancer, then you must suck, so don’t play that i’ve-been-dancing-my-whole-life garbage.

I am not a Britney fan nor am i a “hater” but i have danced my entire life and I will say this Britney has never been a good dancer. She is mediocre at best but has had amazing choreographers and amazing dancers who make her look good. Her dancing has always been a lot of boob shaking and that is pretty much it. Even in her earlier videos if you watch her from the waist up she looks fantastic, but watch her feet they never do much of anything this isnt new its what she has always been doing… on a positive note to her I am glad she seems to be getting herself back on track as a mother myself I wouldnt wish what she went thru with her kids on anyone

Louigi – your comment makes no much sense. Jealous of what?? Because someone is not a fan of someone does not equate to being jealous..it equates to not being impressed by what they do! I’m not even involved in the entertainment business, nothing – so I am not jealous of her, other than maybe her unlimited supply of money..but that’s not only her I’d be jealous of in that regard, it would be all the millionaires of the world.

And thank you Roxster for kindly respecting what I had to say, even while disagreeing with some of it.

I completely agree with Peter up there. It’s all well and good that you worship Britney, but damn man, be able to admit it when the quality is down. She is not as great as she once was just yet. Just because she’s not as bad as the VMAs doesn’t make it great. It took you how long to admit she was on a downward spiral before when she went batshit crazy? You thought her HOB shows were the beginning of her comeback. Its awesome that she is getting better, but don’t just refuse to acknowledge any faults.

After first viewing the performance by Britney in Germany and subsequently in France and England, I came to the same conclusion as many of your readers, that for some reason her ability to dance was severely lacking. Incidentally, I found out that she has had several arthroscopic surgeries in her knees, and upon watching those performances again as well as the ones from yesterday’s taping one thing was striking. Notice that she never bends her knees, she can never “hit” the floor with the same intensity as her backup dancers. Yesterday’s performance, she bent her knees below 90 degrees just ONCE. that is very unusual for a dancer. I think, and this is just speculation, that a lot of her perceived “boringness” is nothing more than part of an ongoing healing process. If that is the case, it is incredibly insensitive for us to be judging her for not doing backhand springs on the floor, and it further speaks of her strength and determination to get back out there. IF this is the case, and again this is just speculation, she should continue to ease her way into more challenging dance routines and be back to her old self in due time. And she did look TERRIFIC yesterday. I’m very happy for her.

I think brit is doing her thing.

People feel to realize that everyone get depress. Plus the end of a marriange can break any women. Let along the women who has to go out on a date with 30 photographers.
when my marriage broke up. no one was taking my picture or wondering why i came out look a mess (if I was having a bad day)
she been thru alot…with eveyone giving there negative opinoions and juding her because of her line of work.

Not that I agree with everything April said, but I don’t get why anytime someone voices displease with somebody they’re immediately labeled as jealous. And thats not meant to be an attack on you Louigi…you’re not the first person to put that thought on there on the Britney comments this week, nor will you be the last. Whatever happened to being able to simply dislike something cause you dislike it?

Jealous much, April?

I think you are right Trent. Yes, everyone is entitled to express their opinion(s) regardless if it’s negative or positive. But we should still be responsible on our comments. Bashing and hating someone is not healthy comment anymore. We should consider that all words that come out from our mouth can affect someone.

Britney, yes, she is famous, yes, she is a public property. But let us not forget that she is STILL a HUMAN BEING. We don’t know what is the real feeling of the girl. We don’t know how to live like her. We don’t know the real story of her life. So I guess, we have no RIGHT to JUDGE her.

By saying JUDGE her, means, why can’t we judge the both sides of the story? why we are all focus on some things that we read on blogs, on tabloids, on magazines, some things we hear on radio on television?

I am proud to say, I am a FAN! but I am also proud to say that I know how to be objective fan.. So why all the haters can be OBJECTIVE too? is it too hard?

I agree Trent, I love me some Britney and I have ever since Baby, One More Time. Whether she’s a superstar or a trainwreck I will never stop being a fan!

I think us Britney “haters” are entitled to voicing our opinion on the blog as well..not all of us are hateful but we are allowed to say that we think she plain sucks and gets too much credit for not enough talent! Comments sections don’t have to have only commenters with one opinion..and I, like many, many others, just don’t like her plain and simple. And trust me, I skip MANY Britney posts on this blog but there are so many written involving her on here and then something Trent writes that you see, you just want to respond to and get your voice out there that not everyone thinks she’s great and if I want to write time to time and give my opinion, then why not? I think this girl has too many blind fans who think she’s the best no matter how many times she gets it wrong and give her a thousand and one chances when others (with a whole lot more talent) don’t even get one chance…as many horrible personal decisions as she makes, her fans will always blindly follow..no denying she’s got a lot of fans but I think her fans are a little weird for blindly supporting her when she’s not talented and is a strange and stupid person when left to do things on her own..without people having to tell her right from wrong constantly..it’s one thing if she was like 12 or 13, but she’s 27 or whatever she turned today and screws everything up unless people like her father can tell her what to do step by step constantly. It is sad that she is a role model for so many people….even when she was at her worst, fans acted like everything is OK when it’s Britney, no matter how dumb..but that’s my opinion of her blinded fans…making her richer every second without her really delivering anything on her part (this is my opinion and it’s my right to put it out there). Any success her music has I think is not because of HER actual contribution over all..it is the big bucks record producers and such making the catchy background music..something she contributes nothing to. I guess all she offers is skimpy clothes and provocative dance moves..wow..what great things to be putting out there.. She’s a lucky girl for getting to do little for all that money she’s rolling in.

Just the way you fans are vocal about liking her, it’s our equal right to say that we don’t like her at all. It seems like Britney fans are super sensitive though because Britney has got so many issues…no one gets all sensitive about when people voice displeasures when it’s other celebs…like when people make fun of Posh Spice, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, etc..hardly anyone bats an eyelash when it’s time to make fun of them, no one says its not right to vocalize displeasures, but all the sensitivity comes out when its about Britney. Everyone is entitled to their opinions as these opinions aren’t really hurting anyone or anything. Yes this is Trent’s blog, so of course the posts and opinions on here belong to him, but the comments section is enabled for comments…whether they agree with Trent or not should not be a requirement..and if it is..then I will stick with PopSugar.

I know a lot of you are gonna think I’m dumb, stupid, don’t know what I’m talking about, etc. but I just wanted to write out some of my opinions..it’s what I think, I know I’m not the only one who thinks these opinions, and thanks for reading.

And just to show I’m not being so mean to your darling Britney, I do think her kids are cute.. but I do think Kevin is mostly to thank for their wellbeing!

Roxster, I couldn’t have said it any better. I really want her album to debut at #1 witth massive sales, boosting her confidence. I think the album is great, I just hope SHE can be the Britney of before.

Trent, I just re-read this posting again, and I agree with you to a certain point, but you have to admit that the Britney of NOW is still NOT the Britney of the lates 90s early 2000s. I gave credit where credit is due…. she’s a whole lot better than she was a year ago. But, anyone can see she still isn’t the old Britney. Just accept it.

Peter I agree, she doesn’t look comfortable and has definitely lost her confidence. Part of the difficulty with someone in her situation is how long do you let her feel insecure and use that as an excuse not to perform, and when do you push her out and say no we KNOW you can do it so that she realizes it for herself. Personally, I think this was rushed and a bit pre-mature and she is getting pushed too early. Also, I think part of why it seemed better in person was simply because of the energy in the tent. And while I can understand that given her situation there is a bit of a learning curve and sympathy while she gets her footing again…at the end of the day this is her career. She needs to get her confidence and stage presence back again quickly because that has always been the biggest thing she has going for her and if it The longer it takes her, the more criticism she will draw and the worse it will look for her overall recovery/come back. This rushed return may hurt her in that way. Hopefully the performances she has done the past few weeks have really helped in that way,otherwise I don’t know how she’ll make it through an entire tour. either her confidence will come back, or she’ll break down again.

Hey Trent! I was watching the replay on my dvr and when the camera panned to the audience, I saw you and David. You waved to the camera and for some reason I thought it was the cutest thing ever. Anywho, I’m jealous you were there. It looked like a lot of fun:)

I Love U 4 saying that, you are right, It’s not that she sings, It’s the power of her show what makes her special :)

Lou,

Hey, it’s all true! I just want what’s best for Britney, but these so-called “fans” can’t see the truth. They see what they want to see.

Ashley H – I didn’t have to be there in person to see that Britney isn’t ready! Don’t get me wrong, I love Britney. She can probably kill someone and I would still lover her, lol, but there is no denying that she’s not ready. She was FORCED into doing this. She should’ve moved out of the country and waited a year. Of course we should compare the Britney of now to the Britney of then. That’s who we all love. No one wants a half-ass-thrown-together-in-two-seconds Britney. Why would anyone want to see a SO-SO Britney when we know what the POWERFUL Britney can do?!?!?!?!?!?!??

Ashley, you just proved my point….. “She was drugged for heavens sakes…” If she was drugged, she shouldn’t been performing in the first place. I’m so happy that she’s better now than how she was the last couple of years, but she still has a long way to go. Just the way she was walking all around the circus rink reminded me of the 2007 VMAs.

No one can deny, not you or Trent, that what I finished stating is true. You can sugar coat it all you want….. but he truth is out there. Check youtube…. wait I’ll do that for you.

I agree with ashley h, don’t like it – just skip it. It is his blog so he should write whatever he wants. However, the past few weeks there has been so much about Britney on this blog, if I skip, I would have to skip a lot. Although I really like the blogs and pictures of Britney, there seems to be an overkill right now.
