Britney Makes Her Performance "Comeback"

Filed under: Britney Spears


Britney Spears took to the stage at the Bambi Awards in Germany on Thursday night and…

She didn't suck!

She wasn't great, but she wasn't embarrassing.

And, considering the fact that we think she was pushed into releasing this album too quickly, she was amazing! Just remember where she was only 9 months ago.

The re-arrangement of Womanizer was hot, but we definitely feel like the Britster was nervous.

She was VERY stiff towards the beginning but definitely loosened up for the last 30-45 seconds.

We don't mind the lipsynching - it's Britney! - but we think there wasn't enough dancing. She walked around a lot, which reminded us too much of that disastrous VMA performance in 2007.

But, overall, it's nothing to be ashamed off and hopefully she'll get better as she does a few more of these!

    and she was live
    listen to the ending



  2. 2

    i thought x-factor was gonna be her comeback performance? simons gonna be maaad



  3. 3

    I am sorry but if you lip sing on stage, you arent a real singer.. Beyonce dances and sings.. And I can accept it for a few songs but Britney is a whole performance type of girl… I am over her and it is so lame that people are buys her computer altered CDs and paying to see someone lip sing on stage.. This is why I stick to bands like Mayday Parade, The Maine, Chiodos, etc. They are the REAL thing. Even those Jonas Brothers do it right!



  4. 4

    I think she did very well. You could tell she was very nervous.

    she did sing live@ the end she does a run when the music ends and u can hear her breathing as she smiles…the beginning her voice was a bit off on the intro proving she was singing live through the majority. overall she was nervous but the performance was killer!!!



  6. 6

    BritBrit made me proud!!! Hope she kills it on Star Academy, X Factor, and GMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  7. 7

    GIVE HER SOME TIME PEOPLE! SHE'LL REIGN ONCE AGAIN!



  8. 8

    Hotness!!!!!!

    Go Britney!!!!!



  9. 9

    She needs a new choreographer, she doesn't look comfortable with the moves, they aren't fluid like "Slave" was… she looked amazing!!! welcome back



  10. 10

    fierce! wel done brit!!



  11. 11

    OMG!! GO BRIT!!! This video is kinda low quality…check out one on youtube… man, she looks fucking hotter than ever.



  12. 12

    BS IS FUCKING BACK
    AND IM LOVING IT



  13. 13

    she was singing to a backing track. kind of like the ashlee simpson incident. i could definitely distinguish her live voice against the recorded vocals. a flat note here and there and a little bit of breathing coming through the speakers. i like that, though. makes her a little more real than what we're used to.

    i wish the camera work focused on the performance more than moving around a whole bunch. i didn't really get to see HER much as a result, but it seemed nice. not the performance i'd expect for such a busy song, but she needs to be in her comfort zone her first time out.

    i bet she's saving her good stuff for us ;)

    good work, brit!



  14. 14

    Aww bless - the look on her face at the end! : )
    Can't wait to see her on the Xfactor on Sat!
    Wooo Britney - Good for you gurl!



  15. 15

    She was great, I look at this performance as her getting her feet wet or getting back into thing if you will, I expect as the days go by she will get even better…. Welcome back!



  16. 16

    i can NEVER get over that shaved head. im sorry.



  17. 17

    that was a cool preformance~ cant wait to see her on x-factor tho ;3 hope simon judges her ^-^

    BRITNEY IS A HUGE STAR
    HE DIDN'T DO ENOUGH CLOSE-UPS OF FILMING HER
    THEN AGAIN…
    HE WAS PROBABLY BEING CAUTIOUS NOT
    KNOWING WHAT THE AUDIENCE WOULD BE IN FOR
    STILL–SOMETHING ABOUT BRITNEY MAKES ME LIKE HER…
    SHE'S FLAWED…
    SHE'S HUMAN…
    AND THAT MAKES HER BEAUTIFUL.
    GO BRIT.
    CANADA ROCKS BITCHES.
    KISSES!



  27. 27

    she'll be better her next performance, she was probably like "oh yeah this is what performing for real is like.."

  28. ydur says – reply to this


    28

    I was expecting live elephants and lions, but I think it was pretty cool, she did look a bit stiff though



  29. 29

    yayy

    Re: Miss Mac – yeah

  31. midi says – reply to this


    31

    it must be terrifying to get back up on stage. whether she sings or not isn't even an issue-her music has always been electronically manipulated.

  32. Pratz says – reply to this


    32

    Look at it on youtube!! much better quality! Perez up a better version please! this vid sucks…



  33. 33

    Hopefully she'll get her bounce back. I didn't see it there. Looking good though.



  34. 34

    The media players this site uses never ever work for me … like 15 seconds of every clip loads and no matter what I do I can never get any further! I looked the performance up on Youtube though, and yeah, she's back =D

  35. ydur says – reply to this


    35

    the video quality is crap, youtube it, it looks better



  36. 36

    it was a great perfomance!!!!
    only bad thing was the crowd!too old!!hahaha
    britney rocked,didn't dance much,but she did great,and tomorrow on star search,and saturday on xfactor she'll do better and better,thats just how britney is…always surprising us!!



  37. 37

    yay , she is back
    it wasnt a Waw , but is was ok , and iths the bambi awards , so who the hell cares to the a great performance here , hahah , no offense its not the vma



  38. 38

    WAS AWESOME!!!!



  39. 39

    its lacks n.r.g



  40. 40

    sounds like you have some kind of beef with her Perez. Your post comes across crazy Critical. More than usual like you were looking for mistakes. O and who is WE you refer to lol. Anyway i thought it was a good performance, for that song. Im sure she will feel more comfortable with Circus. And she sung at least part of it, which is more than what old britney would do.



  41. 41

    OMFGGGG!! Britney KILLED it! The stage, the props, the moves, everything was EPIC!!!! Compare this to the VMAs 2007, I am SOOO proud of Britney for improving so much. Old school Britney is definitely back.

    Now I know some of you thought she lacked energy blah blah blah blah, but if u didn't like this performance Britney is still performing tomorrow and on Saturday!! So get a grip!

    BOTTOM LINE: BRITNEY. OWNED. THE STAGE.

    You don't get performances like this anywhere. The AMA's pale in comparison to Britney's performance.



  42. 42

    Great performance, not old Britney yet but very cool. Go Brit!!!



  43. 43

    OMGGG! I LOVE HERRRR… WELL DONE BRITNEY!!!



  44. 44

    if she would have danced more it would have been waay better but anyways IT WAS REALLYYY GOOD!! SHE'S JUST WARMING UP PEOPLE.. THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! muahahaha



  45. 45

    Yeah, she wasn't actually strictly lip-synching. She lip-synchs all the time so I can tell when she's doing it… this wasn't it. You could tell there was a track helping her almost the entire time but for the most part she was singing live in some parts and singing along with the track in others.

    I'm glad she's getting the kinks out of the way in Europe before she hits the states. :)



  46. 46

    Cool performance, Brit! I'm so proud of her.
    Circus is coming to town. I'm so gonna be there at her tour 2009.

    And Perez: You got NO clue about uploading videos. Get some technicians do this job for you. It's stuttering, maybe because it's PAL material and you use NTSC profiles and stuff… Thats not cool.



  47. 47

    Britney did amazing! So Proud of u Britney!

    She did good. I'm so happy for her and for her kids. I wish her well.



  50. 50

    with the time she will better, she was nervous but was her first time and everyone is nervous the first time :P

  51. Derek says – reply to this


    51

    Britney looks FIERCE!!!

    And it was live, listen closely, it's 50% her mic, 50% backup track

    The remix parts, of course, are playback… you can't sing that aloud!



  52. 52

    same stylist as Madge?????…WTF???



  53. 53

    Oh God, this is a really poor quality video. I can't really see it. Great.



  54. 54

    i loved it! and definitely she will get even better and better, i mean come on give the girl a break! she hasnt performed live in a very long time, and this is amazing! so what if she lip synced, she was still amazing, and at the end were she acctualy sang was amazing!

    Britney's back biitchess!



  55. 55

    BRITNEY IS BACK COMING BACK LOOKING DELICIOUS!! BRITNEY IS BACK COMING BACK LOOKING DELICIOUS!! BRITNEY IS BACK COMING BACK LOOKING DELICIOUS!! BRITNEY IS BACK COMING BACK LOOKING DELICIOUS!! BRITNEY IS BACK COMING BACK LOOKING DELICIOUS!!



  56. 56

    Re: Listen To Mayday Parade – Puke….you just killed any cred you may have had by mentioning the jonas brothers….puke…..



  57. 57

    "Did not suck"- are you shitting me?????? This was a disaster considering that this is supposed to be one of the world's most highly paid entertainers. All she did was walk around the stage and make some hand gestures. In addition, she didn't sing live and looked just ok. In the past she was able to distract us from her lack of real talent with her body and by shaking her ass. Now….she doesn't even use that. And they paid her for this shit??????? She's cashing in on all you idiots!



  58. 58

    Shes baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccckkk



  59. 59

    The breath she took at the end of the song is something that people who lip sync do to trick the audience in to thinking they sing live but Beyonce doesn't care that people know she not singing but know one cares to call her on it.



  60. 60

    perez! i love how your not being that mean to Britney anymore!
    Thanks for being a cool guy again ;)
    and i totally agree with your points though.
    She needs to loosen up a bit and she'll be alright.
    Cant wait for "Star academy" or "X factor" in the next few days!!



  61. 61

    Britney is back!!!



  62. 62

    I thought that performance was great compared to her last… but not like the Britney performances that we are used to seeing… I wonder if her knee injury from a couple of years back has anything to do with that? idk, just a thought i guess….



  63. 63

    Britney I love you



  64. 64

    She was AMAZING! I really loved the performance and damn she looks so skinny..so jeaous!

    To think….girl was in a pysch unit not to long ago. I am really proud of her! Happy Thanksgiving!



  65. 65

    WOW!!! Go Brit! She was singing and was nervous, but I think her stiff dancing was part of the show.



  66. 66

    Re: The truth speaks so shut up and listen!

    FUCK OFF! britney did amazing, this is her first performance since the 2007 VMAs give the girl a break already! and she actually sang live u can hear at the end she spoke in the mic



  67. 67

    Perez Hates Me ^^



  68. 68

    Re: ShakeYourkitty – LOL I am not saying they are great, I am just saying they do it right… 100% Live, but they are also completely generated rfom the Family Channel. I wont be defending them at all, I am just stating they do LIVE performances… They are no Chiodos live, but really who can top Craig Owens?! No one is the answer to that :)



  69. 69

    fantastic :]



  70. 70

    She still isn't dancing like she used to but obviously better than her last performance. Only thing is for someone who doesnt actually sing on stage, she should be able to move around a lot more. I have faith shell eventually get her choreography back on track!

  72. 72

    ok, the performance totally sucked! As always, we are looking at a completely fabricated performance! Also, am I the only one that noticed Britney's theme is the :Circus: however, wasnt that Christina's last tour/album's theme???

    I guess here we have a copy cat too! I am gald she gotten her shit together and looking/doing great but she still is a horrible singer!



  73. 73

    Yea you can kinda hear her. she was great!



  74. 74

    It'll take time for her to get back to where she used to be. It's like…being in shape, then binge eating and being a lazy ass for two years; you're obviously not going to be able to run a mile when you're last (failed) attempt was a year before.

    And I think she should sing live a little more. I like the way this song sounded when she was actually singing. I mean…it's common knowledge that she's no Beyonce or Christina, but her voice is decent enough to sing at least off and on.



  75. 75

    Re: britney_rox – Just because she spoke into the mic doesnt mean she sang live.. It just means her mic was on… She never sings live, and her music is voice altered so she wouldnt be able to sing live. The songs wouldnt sound the same, IF she was singing, it was along with the track to back it up to get the correct sound. Which still counts as not completely live.. Its like when a band played live to track.. Its not live anymore, its a cope out in my eyes, just like lip syncing…



  76. 76

    Re: Listen To Mayday Parade – well see now you are not into pop music
    britney is POP PRINCESS btw
    the POP QUEEN herself, madge, is known for lip-synching.
    and all those nobody bands you mentioned are not worth comparing to Britney Spears, an international SUPERSTAR.
    and not to mention that every RECORDING ARTISTS' voice is enhanced.
    and the Jonas Brothers definitely have their voices enhanced.
    you make no plausible points and you sound completely idiotic.
    yes she does lip synch but thats old ass news. get with the program.
    BRITNEY SPEARS IS THE BEST!
    LOVE HER!!!
    =D



  77. 77

    LOVED IT!!!! BRITNEY LOOKED FIERCE HOTT SEXY AMAZING DANGEROUS AND FUCKING KILLER!!!!!XTINA CAN SUCK ON IT AND STICK IT UP HER NASTY VAGINA!!! GO BRIT!!!! YOU CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE GIRLFRIEND!!!! ALL POWER TO YOU!!!! IAM BUYING THE CD DEC2 EVERYBODY SHOULD DO TOO!!!!



  78. 78

    about 3 years off stage. First performance (not counting VMA) she did pretty damn good.



  79. 79

    I COULD CARE LESS IF SHE DIDNT SING LIVE COMPLETELY THIS TIME…IT WAS HER FIRST TIME TO PERFORM, SO I WOULD TOTALLY BEEN NERVOUS AND SHITTING MYSELF AFTER TWO KIDS AND A BAD PERFORMANCE IN THE PAST…. GO BRIT AND IAM SURE SHE'S GONNA GET A MILLION TIMES BETTER BY THE TIME OF HER GMA PERFORMANCE!!!! HELL YEAH !!!! I FUCKIN LOVE BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!



  80. 80

    I LOVE BRIT!!!!
    I LOVE BRIT

    I LOVE BRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  81. 81

    Omg her smile at the end was gorgeous! She looked happy, I don't care that it wasn't THE BEST performance, it was still great and it's the confidence boost she needs! As a person I'm happy for her and wish her the best! She's been through a lot.



  82. 82

    Re: jessica_martsan

    LMAO you're kidding right? Britney's whole album is circus themed, Xtina has onle ONE circus themed video and sadly NO ONE rememberd it becuz the song sucked. Instead of wasting your time complaining about Britney copying Xtina, why don't u go buy her album becuz its FLOPPING. BIG TIME. I feel so bad for Xtina fans, it must hurt to see Britney come back huh?



  83. 83

    so proud of her, she did great



  84. 84

    She did well. And she did sing live, not the refrains, but the rest she did sing live.



  85. 85

    Re: joselovesit – They aren't nobody bands, they just aren't mainstream because society would rather listen to voice altering then the real thing. And yes enhanced, but on the CD, not live. her Lip syncing may be old news, but it should never be over looked. And it's not that I don't like pop music, I just think its all been done before. Yes its great she got her life back on track, but if it weren't for her train wreck of a life for the last two years, I have no doubt her career would have ended. Sorry just my opinion though. As for sounding idiotic, putting peoples opinions down by saying stuff like that is immature. You like her, fine, I dont really, fine. But my points are valid, and if you are ok with paying 60-100+ dollars to see someone lip sync, then by all means, but I would personally rather see multiple shows for that kind of money, and have them not lip sync. But again, just MY opinion on the subject.



  86. 86

    im proud of brit for performing well, but shouldn't she have spent thanksgiving with her kids?



  87. 87

    so proud of her, she can do better



  88. 88

    Absolutely loved this performance!

  90. 90

    she was singing live so she didnt have so many complicated moves so her voice doesnt crap up… chill



  91. 91

    This is definetly not impressive, she's lypsinching and she dances…good but not amazing its a little boring. And My God she looks just like MADONNA, Britney don't copy her Madonna is Madonna the Queen of Pop, You're still the Princess and you'll never have the influence that Madonna had and has in society and popular culture. Love ya Brit, Love Ya even more Madonna!!



  92. 92

    Re: Listen To Mayday Parade

    Whatevs, not like your opinion matters anyway. Britney IS back, everyone is rooting for her this time around and her new cd, if u haven't heard it, is phenomenal. If you continue to think Britney has no talent/can't sing, that is your loss. Go listen to some Disney wannabe band then



  93. 93

    I want to love her, but something's missing. It'c certainly a step up from THAT vmas performace. She need to take some cute-tips from these gals though ;)



  94. 94

    Fake! .. anyone who thinks she was really singing needs a head check.
    and "IF" she was really singing he mic was much lower then her pre-recorded vocals.

    Not to mention she looks like a total Madonna rip off…I mean I understand they are friends and what not but come on..there can and will only ever be ONE Madonna!



  95. 95

    and God you people why you don't like the truth, SHE'S LYPSINCHING!!! She looks fine but she's lypsinching, I know you people love her but that consists also in admitting that she makes mistakes.

  96. sushi says – reply to this


    96

    She looks fantastic, but does this girl give one fuck about her kids?



  97. 97

    Just leave her alone!!! whats wrong with you ppl….haha



  98. 98

    Those complaining about her dancing, she only has a very limited amount of dance moves. She's never going to do anything different than those few moves. That is, I guess, her signature. At least it looked better than the VMA performance though.



  99. 99

    Britney fucking rocked it. :D
    I can't wait for the circus tourrrr!



  100. 100

    Re: ferozciousrice

    Fuck you she was singing live in some parts she wasn't lip syncing the whole thing. Singing isn't everything u dip shit, Britney has the total package - looks, talent, personality, stage presence - everything that makes her a star. And if u hate britney so much why are u commenting, go worship disney slut miley cyrus u whore
