Britney Bombs

I don’t watch MTV Music Awards anymore because:

(a) I don’t listen to the latest in "music"

(b)  I’m the wrong demographic

(c)  MTV, despite its name, really isn’t about the music anymore

Still, I was amused to read this:

As in most train wrecks, it was hard to focus on just one thing as the Britney Spears disaster unfolded on MTV’s Video Music Awards. There was just so much that went wrong.

Out-of-synch lip-synching. Lethargic movements that seemed choreographed by a dance instructor for a nursing home. The paunch in place of Spears’ once-taut belly. At times she just stopped singing, as if even she knew nothing could save her performance.

Harsh.
