I finally got a chance to watch the Britney Spears performance at the VMAs that everyone's been yammering about.
I felt much like the audience appeared--bewildered, surprised and then I wondered where her mother was...or anyone for that matter--someone she trusted enough to tell her the honest to God truth.
Oh, Britney. Honey. No.
The disturbing performance has been attributed to her poor choice in boots, the hair extensions, the choice of outfit and observations that she appeared medicated.
Others pointed fingers at MTV, citing the exploitation of Spears as an opportunist use of the dazed damsel's distress as a means to promote the network.
The Frog thinks were witnessing a bad case of Postpartum Gone Public.
Whatever the reason, the confidence was just gone.
Check out the difference:
Well, back then she was wearing flats and the hair was real.
And for the record, Sarah Silverman's crack about Spears' kids--“the cutest mistakes” she’d ever seen--?
Flat wrong.
The days of women stepping on the backs of other women to get ahead are so yesterday...
...no matter how high the heel.

I agree; I actually watched Britney's performance live - oh dear. Regardless of how bad it was, Sarah Silverman's stand-up was ill judged, to be kind. I changed the channel after the crack about the kids; I just didn't have the stomach to hear any more of it.
I would love to know the number of viewers who flipped the channel after that crack.
The old Nielsen flip-flop ratings.
Thanks for stopping by, honeysuckle rose.
