Britney's Back….and On Top!

Filed under: TV News > Britney Spears

wenn5107717.jpg

As we mentioned last week, Britney Spears was set to appear in the CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother.

And, surprisingly enough, when it aired last night, the show received its highest ratings ever!

Even more surprising, the critics liked it!

The Associated Press stated, "Britney the Trainwreck showed how she can still be Britney the Performer. The 26-year-old pop star, who previously was on a 2006 episode of Will and Grace, appeared fresh-faced and relaxed, capably filling the small role."

The Daily News stated that for "those who hang on every one of Britney's career moves, this bold casting decision worked out. Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing, and with some of the nuances she brought to the character, you'd almost swear she'd been there before."

Could this possibly be the comeback Britney and the rest of the world has been waiting for?

We sure hope so!

      The show is really quite good, so it's kind of a pity to see that all anyone can talk about is Britney's appearance. Sure, she was funny, but the key to the episode was the interplay between Marshall and the doctor.

      "Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing" Hmmm… I think that speaks volumes since we all know britney cant sing! what a well hidden insult!

      I hope that Britney cleans up and gets back on track. It's good for her, her little boys, her sister & parents. No one wants her to be a train wreck; besides I'm sure LiLo will take care of the chaos that the media needs.

      I was pleasantly surprised by Britney's performance! She was cute, not wooden at all. She even overshadowed Scrubs' Sarah Chalke! As a person that has posted unfavorable comments about Britney in the past, I would like to give credit where credit is due and say "WAY TO GO, BRITNEY!"

      The best part of this article is
      "Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing" Apparently they don't think she can sing very well either. The girl can not act!

    70. maybe she should get into acting now says – reply to this


      70

      maybe she should give up the dancing and singing and do some acting
      lessons and get into a new career.

      she was so so .
      if that was anyone else it wouldnt even rate as great .

      75

      Could it be? Oh my God - could this be the Britney comeback we've all waited for? Really?

      Pathetic.

      Her comeback happens when she plays 'mom' again and covers her tits.

      I've never seen this show before but watched it just to see Britney and she was really funny. She should totally do more comedy shows! She looks like she's back on track to superstardom! Way to go Britney!

    79. HIMYM says – reply to this


      79

      HIMYM is one of my favourite shows. In response to her appearnce, I protested watching it. She's disgusting and pathetic.
      Anyway, the people who tuned in JUST to see her were MEDIA people like Perez, and the crazy Chris Crocker types who support her. Yuck.

      83

      Perez, thank you so much for writing something so positive and nice about Britney. It really warms my heart. Being a huge fan of hers has been very rough at times with all of the things that has gone on..and it's so nice to see you supporting her now that she is getting better and living again!

      Britney can sing?????? Shit. Who knew? Everytime a song of hers comes out, it's all robotic sounding. I wouldn't know her actual voice if it ever came across the airways.

      Britney can move. But let's call a spade a spade. Britney can NOT sing. Most people who auditioned for American Idol can sing better than Britney. We all know she's a pop star because of her marketable appearance, great dancing, and PERFORMING abilities… not singing abilities. She's about as talented as Miley Cyrus when it comes to singing. And we all know what that says.

      95

      I am so happy for her. She is really starting to look happy and healthy. I am routin for her all the way. BTW I watched How I met Your Mother for the first time last night and found it dry but she def added some sass to it. She def is a southern cutie amnd I agree with the cast on that show that girl does have great comedic timing. My favorite scene was the last scene with her and Doogie (he wil always be that to me). They had great on screne chemistry.

      omg.. I didnt watch it on tv, but i did watch it online…I didnt think it was good at all, she was really awkward and made me feel uncomfortable.. The way she was smiling weird the whole time… I mean her character was supposed to be "crazy" but she really is like crazy..

      It will be interesting to see if her CD sales rise a little, "break the ice" is a okay song and rising on the charts but "Toy Soldier" is the best song on the cd. She should go on Oprah or something and perfrom. That would be great.
