On Friday night, Britney Spears performed 2 mini-concerts at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV that were filmed by MTV for an upcoming documentary special to promote the release of her new album Femme Fatale (due out on Tuesday). In addition to filming her live performances, MTV also filmed some behind the scenes footage that will also be featured in her upcoming MTV special. The documentary, titled Britney Spears: I Am The Femme Fatale, will air on MTV on April 3. Read the deets and check out video of Britney‘s full performance of Hold It Against Me on Friday night.
After a killer set from “Jersey Shore” star DJ Pauly D on Friday night (March 25), a montage of Britney Spears’ best video moments played to a hyped crowd at Rain nightclub inside the Palms Casino and Resort. Once the videos wrapped, the crowd went even crazier as the Femme Fatale herself hit the stage. Spears sported a stunning sequined bodysuit and performed her first song of the night, lead single “Hold It Against Me.” Flanked by sexy male dancers, she sashayed her way through the song, which included sexy hair-tossing and a wind machine. For her second song of the night, Spears debuted the will.i.am-produced track “Big Fat Bass.” Her dancers hit the stage in bright yellow, while Spears opted for a body-hugging latex bodysuit. She emerged from a speaker box, and the appearance had her fans screaming. The track was remixed to include past hits like “3,” “Slave 4 U” and “Gimme More.” She danced around the stage and climbed up on speakers as she danced to the track. Britney kicked it up a few futuristic notches for her latest club banger, “Till the World Ends.” The stage was filled with ladders, LED lighting, dancers and Spears in a black latex bodysuit covered in red lights. She clearly was having a good time, smiling to her fans. Her choreography was decidedly sexy, including flirty dance moves with her male dancers. At the end, Spears ascended the ladders and ended up on a platform, gyrating from above the room. As fireworks lit the stage, Spears danced and tossed her hair as the song closed. The room was filled with electricity and excitement. The performance was being taped by MTV for a special airing next week … Britney Spears: I Am The Femme is set to air April 3rd on MTV. Fans will get special access to behind the scenes footage of Britney recording her new album Femme Fatale, shooting a music video and preparing for her surprise Vegas performance … A teaser will debut Tuesday on MTV, the same day Spears’ latest album, Femme Fatale, hits stores.
It’s a shame the bass is so overpowering in this video because it would’ve been nice to hear the song without all the jarring feedback … but at least we know that we’ll be able to watch these performances in the I Am The Femme Fatale special set to air on MTV next Sunday night. Today, Britney will perform another mini-concert in San Francisco, CA (which will be shown on Good Morning America on Tuesday) and then she will make appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday and Tuesday. Femme Fatale is almost released!! All this fun promo stuff makes the album’s release all the more exciting. Welcome to Britney Spears Week, are y’all ready?
Its only 2 things: Change dance move/style and singing live on stage! thats all! ( look at madonna ) She adore Madonna!
Can’t wait for this documentary, so EXCITED for Femme Fatale!!
SO excited for Britney Week! >:) And I thought based on this shaky video that she did a fierce job. I can’t wait to see it in HD and close up so I can see her face lit up from the joy of performing.
I will always love Brit, and I love the songs on the album but I have to go with everyone on here saying the performance was weak… It almost looks like she is a crippled old lady the way she relies on the 2 male dancers next to her to help her up, down, into the chair, out of it. Weird. However, the guys in the crowd at the end screaming “OMG BRITNEY!!!!!!” over and over again made me giggle hehe. Looking forward to seeing how she does tomorrow on GMA
I don’t often compliment Britney, but considering that I love sparkly, glittery things, I REALLY like her costume!! It looks good on her too.
As for the performance, it was kind of boring.. but Brit looked good. :)
That is the definition of phoning it in. The biggest difference between Britney and Madonna, is that even at 50+ years old, Madonna would never put so little effort into a performance. Britney will have a long career because her fans support her no matter what, but there is absolutely no quality in what she is doing.
If you aren’t going to dance, sing.
If you aren’t going to dance or sing, get off the stage.
It is like she lost her confidence…..Britney you are still young ……. pull your head out girl. If you have anyone negative around you get away from them.
