Watch: Britney Spears Interview Goes Wrong

Published: Saturday 24th Sep 2011 by David

Recent years have seen Pop veteran Britney Spears become renowned in the music industry for being heavily safe guarded by a team of minders ever eager to protect both she and her once tainted image.

By only agreeing to interviews in which the questions are pre-screened and then heavily edited, Camp Spears have succeeded in turning her interviews into light-hearted conversations centered around what many would agree are the ‘simpler’ aspects of the performer’s life.

Now watch what happens when Ms. Spears gets grilled on more ‘sensitive’ issues below…

What’s so unfortunate about what happened here is that had it not happened, this interview would have gone down as fan favorite.

Seemingly engaged and switched on when sharing her thoughts on the successes of her competitors, it is a shame that this happens the one time in years that we see Britney show some personality and deliver an actual spontaneous thought.

Your thoughts?

  4. TruthTeller September 24, 2011

    So wheredid it go wrong again?
    Yall made it seem as if it was gonna be a Whitney/DianeSawyer moment with catch phrases like “show me the receipts” & “crack is whack”

    TGJ needs to sit their @ss down. Yeah, Britney looked uncomfortable but that doesn’t qualify as an intervew gone wrong.

    get a life loser!!!

    —————————————————————————

    anyways i thought there would be some sort of interreuption or snap at some point , good she sat through it even though she wsa probably cringing like a beast inside, from the reponses ive seen so far, the public still treats Britney like a marginal out-patient. Had this been Beyonce, every derogatory word under the sun would’ve been used against hre by now but such is the price of being on top!

  8. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 24, 2011

    Where did it go wrong???

  9. YOOSONDALOOSE September 24, 2011

    Where did it go wrong btw?

  10. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 24, 2011

    Yoiu know what, no kidding, it is SAD to see all these new policies on this blog.Misleading titles, over-dramatized commentary, comparisons to start stan wars, provocative main pictures, misrepresentation of quotes.It is truly annoying.I suspect that maybe the journalist was kicked out by her team, but this is not the interview going wrong, this is just the aftermath of the interview.And I applaud him for his last question, but there is NOTHING in this video that Britney did wrong.

  11. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 24, 2011

    Btw, Britney is not looking like “get me out of here”.She is just looking at the camera because I think there were at least 2 cameras or maybe the lights bothered her.That’s all.

  12. JohnVidal September 24, 2011

    She seemed just like Beyonce would have seemed: uncomfortable when doing an honest interview. Neither of these 2 girls can talk properly. So don´t start a war between Britney and Beyonce cos the are at the same levl on that front. They are not clever and educated asses like Madonna, Gaga, Mariah, Celine, etc

  13. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 24, 2011

    @JOHNVIDAL 😕 Seriously??When Britney is asked a more demanding question, she responds very well.There is no way you’ve watched more than 20% of her interviews, so, sorry but your opinion is not completely valid

  14. Flanten September 24, 2011

    I´m from sweden and that reporter is a bit strange…
    Btw, SWEDISH, Not SWEEDISH 😮

  15. Skin. ( i Love ( ♥ ) u Queen Britney ♛ ). September 24, 2011

    Britney f*****` Spears will be The Queen Of Music ! <3

    Deal with it , b****** ! 🙂

  16. JohnVidal September 24, 2011

    @ASAP (As Sincere As Possible)
    Oh yeah her answers are 5 seconds long. But you are right at least she answers something. Bey just can´t 🙂

  17. KIMBERLY September 24, 2011

    @ johnvidal .. same level.. explain and in what ways.

  18. bey’knight September 24, 2011

    thats so silly, cleverness is not judged by wits. seems to me like you take cleverness to mean throwing punchlines and making outrageous statements that will make headlines. my best friend is a stammerer, does that make him unclever? Beyonce’s flaw here is being a naturally reserved and private person. if the questions are “honest” enough for the fans, then its good enough for everybody else.

    Whats the hardest non-private question you’ll have for Bey anyways? if she can address the “stolen” performance, songstealing accusations, ban of her fragrance ad,she can address anything

  19. Yellow Gorillah September 24, 2011

    CH…………..

    She was looking at that camera like GET ME THE F*** OUTTA HERE

    Looool but nahh she kept it cute and moving

    I must agree she always seems to be protected by her management and her interviews always seem bland and scripted.

  20. Music_Lover September 24, 2011

    It honestly wasn’t a bad interview. She handled the questions well. If anything her looks were more of confusion about what was he really trying to ask. I gave the same look after he asked “do you feel comfortable looking at any of your earlier work” like what kind of nonsense question is that. I think she did well especially at the end “no! I’m here right now.”

  21. Roxy September 24, 2011

    she was on her period.

  22. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 24, 2011

    Hold up…Why are people acting like Britney is the ONLY artist who has her interviews scripted???So, do you think that a management would send an artist to a reporter without checking the questions first???I haven’t seen anyone asking Katy Perry about her Lady GaGa shade or Rihanna about her embarassing live performances??EVERY mainstream artist goes to interviews prepared, not ONLY Britney.

  23. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 24, 2011

    And btw, the last 2 brief questions don’t seem scripted and Britney snapped back and responded and her answers personally satisfied me and probably all Britney fans/supporters.

  24. Eric September 24, 2011

    I thought her Monarch programming was going to break down at some point and that she’ll be sent to “rehab” again. This was not interesting.

  25. besos…. September 24, 2011

    The picture question was stupid on the interviewers part – so that was their fault. Like wtf do u mean? Do YOU get embarrassed looking at old pics of yourself?!

  26. Pop royalty (RUDE BOY) September 24, 2011

    Seriously ! The interviewer made me uncomfortable ! he’s like a mean b**** !

    She did well ! I don’t see any wrong !

    MISLEADIBG TITLE + BRITNEY + blah blah vid = this !

    f*** TGJ ! they are a bunch of f*** and drama QUEENS !

    Britney does seem like she been thrown off-guard when asked questions which are not related questions which she has prepared for. In this case, Britney had done interviews for the past two days and all interviewers we’re asked to submit interview questions which were pre-approved. I think that its good that this interview shows Britney having to think on the spot and things should be spontaneous and more fun like this so she has a moment to reflect on what she has achieved rather than being pushed to give answers to questions which are premeditated and false.

    Britney does seem very robotic over the years and has not been dancing like she used to with the passion and confidence which she once had – She was at her prime in 2004 when she released In The Zone and promoted The Onyx Hotel – She felt content then and I wish she would go back to that Britney we once knew 🙂

  29. sabrina September 24, 2011

    I LOVE Britney. Always will.

  30. VFB September 24, 2011

    STRAIGHT HOT MESS

  31. RHI RHI IS QUEEN September 24, 2011

    THIS IS WHAT THE INDUSTRY DOES TO PEOPLE… THEY LOSE THEMSELVES TRYING TO BE WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE WANTS THEM TO BE, THE GIRL IS SO AFRAID TO SAY THE WRONG THING BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THE MEDIA WILL TEAR HER DOWN… SHE SEEMS TERRIFIED

  32. VFB September 24, 2011

    You know, you know, you know, you know…..Britney that’s the problem, we don’t know how people can claim that you have any talent….but you know, I guess we will never know:)

    OK, seriously now, how can someone call an interview “a hot mess”???It’s a brief chat with her answering questions.What can be a mess about that???And of course she’s afraid of her reponses, everyone is.People seem to actually think that no other artist does scripted interviews.It’s all an image and everyone has to be careful and tactful to maintain his/her success and place in the industry.Even legends do it!

  35. JER September 24, 2011

    ???? i don’t….. seem to get what’s wrong with this interview? That’s how Britney Spears ALWAYS is “um like um [generic response] like yeah” lol what’s the big deal

  36. BEYONSAY September 24, 2011

    IM starting to think TGJ is a britney fansite…they said her career is dying in the last britney post they did, yet they keep using britney for “news”….LOL…u guys are a mess. Secondly, theres no way this was uncomfortable interview…and if u notice in the other britney interviews, since she did 10 like in 1 day…theres two cameras…ugh,u guys are horrible bloggers sometimes. #cant

  37. JUDAS666 September 24, 2011

    BRITNEY IS A LAME SUBJECT TO BEGIN WITH… THIS WHOLE S*** IS A YAWNFEST. I’D F****** ROLL MY EYES AT THE RETARDED REPORTER TOO.

  38. Bey Fan… September 24, 2011

    Wasn’t a bad interview….

    Im not sure where it went bad? Brit has always seemed like a sweet girl. Went a little crazy at some point, but still sweet. Im no fan of Brit, but she will definitely be a pop icon. Hell she already is….

    I thought the interview was good *shrugs*

    And why would someone think that Beyonce’s fan would hate??? WTH?

  39. room319 September 24, 2011

    Actually, she did a great job.

    Good for her.

  40. Jasmine September 24, 2011

    I agree with ASAP (As Sincere As Possible). This post is dumb. There was nothing wrong with her short interview. Is this site creating fake drama out of nothing? If this continues this site is getting dropped by me for one of the better blogs with real entertainment news.

  41. Ms Lovely September 24, 2011

    WHAT A TRAIN-WRECK! STIFFNEY IS NOTHING BUT A ROBOTIC COW FOR HER RECORD LABEL AND HANDLERS TO CONTROL AND MILK. I WOULD NEVER SUPPORT A TALENTLESS TRASH THATS CLEARLY A HAS BEEN AND ALREADY PAST HER PRIME.

  42. irene46 September 24, 2011

    why was the interview footage removed? i sure wanted to see it for myself!

  43. irene46 September 24, 2011

    there’s a person on this post who makes it their job to make excuses for anything and everything britney does. especially her pitiful tacky performances.

    someone on this post claimed on another that because britney only lip synchs, dances like she has a board stuck up her rear and has her voice studio enhanced while singing bubble gum pop doesn’t mean she’s “not talented”. the excuses are “she’s always lip synched, has had 3 knee injuries and swears her bubble gum music is “epic”. if she releaved herself on stage they’d claim it was one of her talents.

  44. brian b… September 24, 2011

    Honestly give me robotic britney and beyonce over these other artists who have minds of their own but all that ever comes out of it is swear words and negativity. Like these 2 are perfect examples of good role models, they actually think before they talk thats why they always seem so rehearsed.

    WE cant all wear “c***” necklaces and use words like “f***” and “b****’ like they’re terms of endearment. The B’s have been around for well over a decade and their humbleness and humility is what has kept em relevant to this day. You kids will one day grow up and on that day I hope ur favourite artists have grown with you cause otherwise they’ll just fade into obscurity

  45. Deveal2014 September 24, 2011

    Im sorry but where did it go wrong?? it didn’t yall ned to stop creating something out of nothing. He asked the b**** some dumb ass questions and she answered them whats the problem?

  46. onyx September 24, 2011

    She’s so sweet, some people hate her because she has everything, her voice sounds like Marilyn Monroe so feminine, as for the interview thats why legendary artists like her should not to give interview outside the USA.

  47. Anne September 24, 2011

    I don’t think the interview went wrong at all. People who are highly critical about artists’ interviews should try doing tons of interviews. It’s impossible to be a mechanic perfect public speaker for every question without ever pausing to think or develop your reponse. She seemed to roll with the questions pretty well. What a HUGE EXAGGERATION BY TGJ Staff!

    @PAULINE, I’M A BEYONCE FAN, It’s wrong to assume that all Beyonce fans want to hate on another artist. Most of the time we are too busy defending Bey from all of her haters to think about hating on another artist, I don’t see the point anyway.

  48. Trey September 24, 2011

    C’Mon now….Ya’ll are so pressed to see her mess up! What was uncomfortable about the interview??? He asked about photos and her performing old songs in concert…. *sigh* just sad….LOVE YOU BRIT!

  49. Alex September 24, 2011

    OK I’m usually one to attack Britney for like blinking the wrong way but this interview did not go wrong. The only like weird thing I saw was her blinking a lot and giving her mngmt stares. She is so used to her people screening her interviews that when they didn’t she was taken aback. Or more so here because she didn’t see that question coming. But whatevs. Why try to prove what we all know. Britney is Britney, the manufactured plastic pop star with absolutely no talent or credible musicality.

  50. nice_gurl September 24, 2011

    Nothing went wrong with the interview. She seemed nervous about answering certain questions, but I think she answered the questions well. I think some of the questions the guy was asking weren’t pre-approved, but Brit handled the interview well.

  51. Bow Down to The Perrylicious… (The Queen of TGJ) September 25, 2011

    she’s just fine.
    STFU!
    pathetic. LOL
    Britney Spears is the Queen of Pop.

  52. PLUTO September 25, 2011

    I agree with someone else here, Britney is treated like a mrginal out patient.
    I do like Britney and its sad she just cannot go away if she wanted to.
    I’m happy to see some good with her and some comscious awareness.

  53. PLUTO September 25, 2011

    thanks for this post TGP I appeciate it.

  54. lolax September 25, 2011

    This interview was great

    britney looks happy

  55. Britney is a zombie September 25, 2011

    Britney’s body language and facial expressions do ALL THE TALKING.

    She doesn’t need to say pronounce a single word.

    She doesn’t like interviews and would rather be home with her kids.

  56. irene46 September 25, 2011

    @ oynx…

    getting big media for accomplishments made over 10 years ago is not the same as “having everything”! her fans can only fall back on her bygone days as ‘t*** queen’. of course that would cause hard feeling when others deserve the awards and press she gets for nothing.

    the media’s so hard up to make her look “worthy” they were babbling about her having a birthday soon. yeah! real soon ! in december!!! pssst.

    she has enough loyal fanbase for her albums to reach #1 for a minute then tumble like rocks in an avalache. other stars that have been around for years may not reach as high but their survival on the charts is much longer (can you say pink)?).
