Britney's VMAs 'performance'

I should have known that Britney Spears' big Video Music Awards performance would have been uncomfortable to watch the moment it opened, with that closeup of the weave tracks in the back of her head (seriously, MTV camera folks, didja think that was a flattering angle?). But I wasn't quite prepared for the awkward mess in store, as Britney gallumphed around like a zombie while lip-synching to her new single, "Gimme More."
I was really rooting for Britney to be awesome and get the show off on the right foot. And by all rights, she should have rocked  "Gimme More" has been received amazingly well (it's no "Toxic," but admit it, it's better than you expected)  and we have all those fond memories of Brit Brit from VMAs past (with the python, with Madonna and Xtina). But instead of watching a sexy, exciting performance  a resounding statement that yes, she IS Britney, bitch  I saw a tentative, confused-looking girl who could barely muster the energy to mouth along with the backing track, let alone work those stilleto boots. Britney, if you're gonna lip-synch, at least be entertaining!
PopWatchers, am I being too harsh?
UPDATE: If you haven't seen Britney's performance, you can watch it after the jump, via this clip from AOL Music. (If you watch the clip on the AOL Music page, it's preceded by an anti-drug PSA. Think AOL is trying to send a message?)

Apparently in her delusional drunken state, she's too stupid to take birth control. Good lord, add filthy whore to the list. Wait, that was already there. =x You know though, sometimes I feel bad for her but then I remember she makes almost a million a month and is set to make 100 million this year alone. All that money and she can't buy a cook, parenting lessons, therapy or common sense?

I think I'm going to blame Britney on the rising oil/gas prices too... ;)
MODAFINIL (PROVIGIL)
What it does: reduces high from cocaine and also reduces cocaine cravings
How it works: unknown... but it does increase glutamate in the brain
Side effects: most common side effects are headache, back pain nausea, nervousness, insomnia and anxiety
Availability: by prescription from physicians
Warning: it is a schedule 4 drug so there is some potential for addiction to it

And apparently she has missed 8 out of 14 drug tests, and her lawyer is trying to say that making her take all these drug tests is unconstitutional.

Oh goodie.

This on the heels of being told she can't drive with her kids in the car.
In the opening scenes of the video, Spears appears in the driver's seat of a hot pink Hummer floating on make-believe clouds.
Jesus H Christ.
I AM ROLLING. This is her new 'dance' video. WTF, she's just standing around in crappy clothes? :winner
