I haven't watched MTV in so many years that it has become irrelevant & forgotten in my world. But CD's, download your faves, but don't expect to see any music videos...until 20 years from now when they will be featured on VH1C on "We love the '00's".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-70257307671239096252007-09-10T13:43:00.000-04:002007-09-10T13:43:00.000-04:00Editor -it's ravenously obscene for anyone to deri...Editor -<BR/><BR/>it's ravenously obscene for anyone to deride her looks. and indicative of the perverse fascination with childhood sexuality rampant in media. being a minutely observed object in that nefarious world, it would be no wonder to me that Spears is an a chaotic state.Joe Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326800254526438870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-24090852714886535422007-09-10T12:57:00.000-04:002007-09-10T12:57:00.000-04:00For the sake of her kids, I hope you're right, Joe...For the sake of her kids, I hope you're right, Joe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-61013649477785739682007-09-10T12:56:00.000-04:002007-09-10T12:56:00.000-04:00Well... let me just say that I am not in the camp ...Well... let me just say that I am not in the camp of folks who think she looked out of shape. She looked great, especially for a mother of two. On the other hand, her act was a series of strip club dancer moves--and not even the difficult strip club dancer moves. There were pole dancers on the table for Gee sake. She was sleep walking (and sleep mouthing) through her performance.<BR/><BR/>Whether or not she wants to get out of the biz, it was a crappy performance. If she does want to get out of the biz, than don't take on the gig. She's just really sad all around.The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12249851191248100823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-36944235147915965972007-09-10T12:50:00.000-04:002007-09-10T12:50:00.000-04:00Oxy -If nothing else, that debacle/infomercial for...Oxy -<BR/><BR/>If nothing else, that debacle/infomercial for the Palms Casino is the call to seek music ANYWHERE except MTV.

While I'd like to think she's sticking it to the system, I doubt she has that sort of coherence. She's giving off a major Anna Nicole vibe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
