The Toxic star’s big TV comeback after her breakdown was widely judged a complete mess after the singer took to the stage dressed in an unflattering black underwear set, and proceeded to mime and dance half-heartedly while looking completely dazed.
Many at the time said it was a career ending performance that she would never be able to recover from. Britney Spears was drunk on tequila during a famously disastrous performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, a new book claims. She was clearly unwell and in no shape to be onstage in front of millions. For Britney’s ups and downs in pics, click here. How could this possibly be happening, this awful nightmare that was Britney 2007? Who was this person? Cutaways to the audience showed the likes of Diddy, 47, and Rihanna, 29, watching with looks of horror on their faces. In 2003 she kissed Madonna, 59, during “Like a Virgin” at the VMAs as the world went wild. She topped herself in 2001 by dancing around with an albino python in her arms to “I’m a Slave For U” in a sexy barely there green costume. Gimme More, she looked lifeless and miserable. This was BRITNEY!!! The same woman who in years past at the VMAs had blown our minds in a nude bodysuit with banging dance moves to “Oops I Did It Again” in 2000, a performance that set the bar in sizzle for all other artists to ever follow.

Days later, ‘Ye’s Graduation would crush 50’s Curtis album, with 50 reneging on his vow to retire as a result. Speaking of feuds, the two MCs played up their ongoing back-and-forth over whose album would reign supreme on the album charts. Tommy Lee looked like he said something to her and Kid Rock said something back and they got in each other’s faces and you could hear the crowd go “oooh” and the hum got louder, then they went at it.” “Alicia kept going because not everyone realized what was happening, but I could see as plain as day it was a commotion. “ Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson were at a table together and I remember Tommy going over there and it escalated pretty fast,” said Calloway. The rap rocker and Motley Crue drummer managed to steal the spotlight from Alicia Keys’ performance when they got into a brawl in the audience that may or may not have been linked to their respective histories with Lee’s ex, Pamela Anderson.Ĭalloway was sitting two tables back with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. Wentz couldn’t see the performance live in FOB’s suite, but recalled talking to a friend working for the show’s production company and being told it was “trainwrecking, not in a good way.” He recalled being bummed out at the time about it and watching back replays on the band’s subsequent world tour where the footage appeared heavily edited.Īlessia Cara & Kyle Join 2017 MTV Video Music Awards Performers “I think people were like ‘what the fuck is wrong with her?’ You’d never seen her off beat before, she was always on message, on routine… she definitely wasn’t ready, it wasn’t her.
“She didn’t look all the way there,” said Calloway.
