Despite having much of the world rooting for her, Britney Spears proved her naysayers right last night after a shambolic showing at Vegas’ Rain Nightclub.
We previously published short snippets of her much-hyped performance; however, full performances have since emerged – and it has to be seen to be believed.
Check out Spears’ ‘live’ showing of ‘Hold It Against Me’ and the sad level of deterioration her performance ability has suffered after the jump…
Oh Britney, Britney.
Stiff, limp, and lifeless, the performance underscored what we here at That Grape Juice have known for the longest. There really is no difference between Britney’s ability today and that which she infamously displayed at at the 2007 MTV VMA’s. None.
I literally felt like splashing engine oil at the screen. She clearly needed it. Robotic walking, aimless arm movements, and shocking lip-syncing (like really, Britney, not even a pre-record?). This is yet another case, point, example of how Spears simply cannot compete in the era of the Beyonce’s, GaGa’s, and even Rihanna‘s (all of who, at the very least, sing live). For goodness sake, the girl sat down during the dance break! Like, really…
I’m all for doing what one loves, yet how viable is that when each time she hits the stage, she takes a huge dump on her legacy. Honestly, I struggle to see the incentive in allowing her to embarrass herself like this. It can’t (or should I say ‘shouldn’t’) be money; the woman’s earnings ensure her generations to come will be financially set. What’s more, she holds records which -thanks to the download era- are unlikely to ever be broken. Put simply, she’s done did it all. Such flaccid showings, however, will only serve to see her remembered as a shell-of-shell-of-a-shell of who she once was.
Sad.

oh lawwwwd!!!
a b**** is done! DONE!!
what a shame! white people….i swear
the sound quality is awful … how can you tell whether she is singing or not … she looks bad but its an improvement
who did she bomb? this was gud , for her, and that s not shade
giive her credit
funny how the first comment from someone who isn’t even a fan!
I agree it wasn’t her best but Till the world ends performance in HD is there also and it’s better as she shows energy and is energetic! so post that also!!
Lol if her mentally challenge and delusional fans love it, then I love it. Let me get off this talentless post and make way—————>
i dont think her label will drop her .. or aka as let her go.. shes worth too much so in thinking this i feel sorry for her, she just wants to be a mum, life is f***** in the USA.
YOU F****** ASSHOLES.
This performance sucks and of course you put it up.
Check out the Till the World Ends performance the same night. Million times better.
Stupid s*** stirrers
That is just tragic she is dancing like an old woman with lumbago.Give it up Britney leave with dignity and let the fans remember your past glory.
Bring on all the British girls who are much better performers Jessie J, Alexandra Burke, VV Brown and Marina.
Oh I love me some Britney, but this is really heartbreaking. What happened to her dancing abilities. Well let pray for her.
“…and shocking lip-syncing (like really, Britney, not even a pre-record?)” LOL
HER CONTACT WIT JIVE IS UP YALL N I DOUBT SHE WILL RENEW . SHE WILL ALAYS HAVE A WAY OF MAKING MONEY APART FROM MUSIC
She needs to stop and enjoy life with her kids.
omg i feel so bad for her. lmaooooooo.
i cant. this h** dont even know the routine. She is all over the place and on top of that stiffer than macy gray hair.
regardless how horrific she look and perform she will smash billboard next week. smh.
this what the music industry has come to. Generic pop songs that generate underwhelming performances.
PERSONALLY.. ive seen worst performers and hats off to britney for still TRYING to give her fans what they want…
OMG just saw the performance or the first rehearsal ANYWAYZZZZZZZZ……. THIS IS NOT IT…. I mean for example J.LO! Her louboutins performance at SYTYCD lip-syncing and s*** but the SHOW WAS ON POINT!!!!!! I love J.LO btw….. her styling is also ALWAYS on point but anyway….. BRITNEY is official NOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS DONE!!!!!!!!! I feel sorry for myself with all the supporrt from the past O GOSJ!!!!!! Where and why did I spent money on HER???! I guess I have my new GAGA or Beyonce FUND!
Yeah that was a effortless performance, robotic and stiff. But the song makes up for the BAD dancing! I want to see her GMA!
there were GLIMPSES of the old britney , i dont know why , but its like shes marking rather than full out , she clearly knows how to dance still , maybe she jus doesnt have the stamina she used to
Cmon now… the b**** is done. Her heart isnt in it anymore. She wants out of the biz but the damn conservatorship keeps wanting more money for legal fees and s***. She’s like, 30… Even Kylie Minogue dances better than her she’s an old bat at 42 as far as dancing goes. Her album is lame. Got the downloaded version. Same s***, different tracks!! Autotune, lip syncing, and lip dancing are her bff’s for real. I’m surprised Milli Vanilli aint her top musical inspiration! WTF.
Can’t believe I’m saying this… but Lady Caca is better. Cant wait for that coke snorting Madonna wannabe to come with her next cd! I’d rather see the Illuminati disciple perform at the top of her game than Britney performing at the beginning of the END.
SAD!!
When you find out who one of her back-up dancers are…………… HOLLA!
I saw the hole preformance of Til The World Ends! It was really good, way better than this!
It seems like Britney Spears is so over being an entertainer. SMDH
Janet f****** Jackson!!! People should never diss a legend who started this s***… Janet is the #BLUEPRINT. Go home Britney and attend to your kids.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! S****** Spears is DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.
SHE NEED TO FLOP. AFTER THAT, SURELY SHE WILL BEGIN TO WORK SERIOUSLY , BECAUSE TILL KNOW SHE HAS DONE WHAT SHE WANTED JUST BECAUSE HER NAME STILL SELL A LOT..
i can’t comment on her lip syncing seeing that the sound quality was terrible but her performances actually get worse each time. this is actually even worse than the mtv fiasco
She needs to drop only ten pounds. Work out daily n take vitamins. For heavens sake what is the problem. She doesn’t have her kids. She moves like she’s fifty. Even Tina Turner has more pep. Damn
you guys are getting really biased now, till the world ends was a far better showing than this. y’all drag riri for everything but give other people like chris brown a free pass when there are time circumstances he should be dragged too, i guess cause he has such a huge ad here now?. britney has a long standing knee injury and went through a serious mental breakdown, we can’t expect her to be like 2002 again. and no her breakdown doesn’t compare to mariah carey. most of her fans love her regardless and accept her for who she is and know that her heart is with her boys now and wish her the best with this, her last album. most of us don’t expect her to renew that contract but love and respect her choices and life.
as if lady gaga and rihanna can dance much better than britney! they sing live but they are not moving that much especially rihanna! i’ll wait for beyonce!
and also some people here are acting like britney is a NEWBIE! she already been a great performer since the very beginning! i dont see anything wrong with her dancing now. britney spears still can dance her ass off just look at her performances on HousE of Blues during her meltdown and also her Mannequin rehearsal video. the only difference are the choreography!
im sorry but it wasnt that bad! god talk about over exaggerating, it wasnt that bad at all, maybe it could of been a bit better, but oh well there’s loads more performances to go!
Her stans are reaching! The evidence is right in front of you, that performance was a walking car crash! Poor Brit she really ain’t what she used to be 🙁
its sad that the people at THAT Grape Juice have to put britney down on everything she does VERY unprofessional EVEN perez has more profession than Trent
OMG – this is absolutely shocking. Jaw on the floor!!!! Sam thinks exactly what I thought too…although I stan for Britney a bit more than I should. I dissected the whole Femme Fatale scenario here: http://inexqueerienced.com/2011/03/femme-fatale-review-britneys-new-album-disected-the-gay-way/
It’s just not good enough Britney – sort it out!!! I feel ashamed that I have invested my money in her. Definite BOMBED. In fairness to her though, at least the hairography was on point 🙂
You can’t blame her. I guess she’s tired of those live performances. It’s clear that the passion isn’t there anymore.
Atleast she is a sweet heart and humble too so she gets a free pass from me compared to Lady caca who ripped Madonna and rhihanna who can’t even learn a freaking choreogragh and they still think they are a motherfucking factor…Britney girl i’m rooting for ya, do your thing baby girl .
@thatgrapeflop get use to it! people wants to bring britney down because Britney is on TOP.
Actually I think Britney did really good, relatively speaking. I can’t compare this performance, where at the very least she WHIPPED HER HAIR BACK AND FORTH to the 2007 VMA where she just… stood there drugged out like she was about to topple over.
Damn! I thought that Sam was exaggerating as usual, but this was really bad. I mean, we should be used to her lipsycnhing by now, she doesn’t even try to hide it, but her dancing was so stiff and robotic. Come on Brit Brit!! WTF is up with you these days??
It’s not even funny to me anymore, (well just a lil *chuckles*) but it’s like she doesn’t even try! Like her heart really isn’t in it. What I don’t understand is if she realy doesn’t want to do this anymore, why continue to embarrass herself and make us suffer through these s***** ass performances! Just retire and spend time with your sons already! She has more than enough money to sit on her ass for the rest of her life!
I’m really interested to see how her first week numbers are gonna be. I know she is ‘Britney’ and her name alone will sell, but I think we can all admit she’s just not the same anymore. I haven’t seen any decent performances from her, her video’s have been lack luster, her videos were dull and her singles all sound boring and generic. I just don’t think she is ever gonna get to where she was again. *sigh*
Queen Bey…..WHERE ARE YOU?!?!? We miss you!! Come back to us please! *tears*
Child………………………………………………………………………………… Dnt know what to say.
lmao this was her 2nd performance of the night she had already done it full out once…how about waiting until the show airs on TV Sunday you d*****
THIS MADE ASHANTI LOOK GOOD….THIS S*** WAS TERRIBLE
ASHANTI > BRITNEY……AT LEAST ASHANTI ACTUALLY SINGS LIVE SMH
Obviously I agree with Sam almost 100%! But there´s one thing he says at the end:
“What’s more, she holds records which -thanks to the download era- are unlikely to ever be broken. Put simply, she’s done did it all. Such flaccid showings, however, will only serve to see her remembered as a shell-of-shell-of-a-shell of who she once was”
Sorry, I don´t think she has that many records. And also Sam talks about her as if she at least back in the day would have been great. She was always crap people. Only that she danced a little better. But always crap among the crap…
I’m so over this website and the Britney shade, I will admit that this is far from her best but it wasn’t horrible either and Til The world Ends was really good! Your opinion doesn’t matter seeing how her fans are clearly happy to see her on stage again. Oh and Brit can’t compete in the current POP scene? Uhm these performances slay anything the likes of Katy Perry, Rihanna,Kesha coulda done so stop reaching
It’s not that bad, you can stay mad Sam she’ll just keep laughing all the way to the bank
poor thing :/
I thought it was actually good to be honest. Brittney to me always danced with same energy so oh well I mean what other white girl dances and sings and Lady Gaga dancing not any better honestly its not like Gaga throwing down Beyonce moves herself
I think it’s come to a point where you’re just not looking beyond the fact that she doesn’t (and most probably can’t) perform the way she used to. And it frustrates me that all you have for her is negative critique about the fact that her choreography’s not tight etc. Yes, she’s so, very stiff, looks uninspired as heck and, overall, just shows that her heart’s no longer in it. We’ve known this since the start of her “comeback”.
But, does it hurt you to even consider, or even think for a moment, that maybe, just maybe, for the pure and simple reason that she does not want to perform anymore, that it’s not her choice to perform? Yes, everyone makes their own decisions at the end of the day, but who knows what happens behind the scenes? Why the very existence of “Britney Spears the product” (and NOT the performer) is still present? A shred of sympathy could be nice once in a while because up until now, you just seem overly concerned with her getting every move right and hearing her voice. No, she’s not Beyonce or Lady GaGa or even Rihanna. She’s not going to blow your minds away like she used to. And yes, insult and call her out on that all you want, but at the end of the day, Sam (and many others out there), I have to say, that you’re coming off as just, simply, very mean.
I don’t presume to know what goes on in her life, who’s controlling her or if anyone’s even controlling her, but I sense enough to know that all is not well. And that’s enough for me to stop preoccupying myself with the reality that Britney has changed, something that, although you admit to coming to terms with in every Britney post, you just keep rambling on and on about.
Ummmm …What happened to her dancing abilities ?!? How old is she ?!?
Gosh I thought Rihanna needs a vocal coach BUT Britney needs to go back to the very begining and learn how to f****** sing !
Sorry Brit ….
*waiting for Beyonce*
I LUVED IT.. EVERYBODYS A CRITIC THESE DAYS SMH, ITS MORE COOL TO SAY U DISLIKE SOMETHING EVEN IF U LIKE IT..MAKES PEOPLE FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEIR OWN LAMENESS AS IF THEY COULD DO IT BETTER… JUST TODAYS WORLD.. OH WELL SHE KILLED IT THOUGH, GO BRITNEY!!!
she looked totally lost the whole time lol. no wonder she sat down.. at the best part SMDH!!!
when you start to notice and shift your attention to the props and backup dancers you know that you are no longer a superstar. after the first 1 min i became so disinterested in her and my eyes started to look elsewhere, like seriously she should just retire and give other deserving artists a chance to shine.
christina sounds off tune of recent, mariah sounds like she is constantly whistling for her dog/ whispering into her mic, whitney coughing her way through a song and gaga depending on too much on theaterics, heck even rihanna walking around the stage sounding like a frog are all so much more entertaining than britney because at least they have that spark in their eyes and you can tell they are interested in entertaining and not disappointing their fans
well I am no fan of hers at all. But it look like the crowd love it. Regardless she is B. Spears and she will always come out with a large cash flow just because of who she is. So at the end of the day I cant hate on her. Continue to get your money Brittany!
I’ll never understand the hype about this chick.
to all the QUEEN GAGA haters!
GAGA dance and sings live!!!!!!!!! and make all your favs looks like s***!!!
GAGA B****** 2011!!!
STAY #WINNIN & BREAKING RECORDS!!
BTW #1 FOR 6WEEKS!!!!! HA #winnin!
I think the choreography was good. She just didn’t deliver. She should watch some tapes of Janet or Michael and learn how to own the stage. She looked very stiff and scared to be on stage. I don’t think the routine was too hard for her to execute, she just looked very scared. I think she should have delivered since it was a closed setting and anyone could learn the dance routine and worked it.
SAM U OBER DRAMATIC PEICE OF S***
THIS PERFORMANCE WAS AMAZING!!!! BOW THE F*** DOWN TO THE QUEEN.
UR SO UPSET BECAUSE MOO-RIAH IS SUCH A FAT ASS PIGGY THESE DAYS AND WILL NEVER BE THE SUPERSTAR SHE ONCE WAS, WHILE BRITNEY WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A SUPERSTAR UNTIL THE DAY SHE DIES.
OHHHH AND DONT WANT THE HATERS TO FORGET THAT GODNEY’S ALBUM DROPS MARCH 29TH THIS COMING TUESDAY.
I KNOW YOU WILL ALL BE GETTING A COPY
IT WILL BE HER 6TH NUMBER 1 ALBUM!!!!!! LMFAO!!!! LOVE IT
I’m so thankful that I saw artists at their peek. This generation missed it all…. Whitney when she could sing, Mariah when she could sing and OMG Brit when she came on the scene was outta this world….. BUT THIS S*** HERE IS TRAGIC AND I’M MF STUNNED. People can say all day she broke her leg in 12 places blah blah blah… truth is a lot of dancers have…. and?? If its that musch of an issue then she needs to find another way to entertain cause this is just sad. This hurts my heart.
Even Sam agrees with me…Rihanna could out perform Britney….B**** IS DONE! and @Kyle sit down Britney is DONE
WHERE IS HEATHER MORRIS WHEN U NEED HER. GLEE GLIRL NEEDS TO BE BRIT’S STANDIN AND DANCE HER CHOREO WHILE BRIT SINGS UNDER THE STAGE OR LIP SYNCHS UNDER THERE
Britney Spears was NEVER a powerhouse ANYTHING! She could never sing, not even a little.
She just got a pass because she was younger, sexier, and had a little bit of rhythm.
Now she is older, not as attractive, and has no rhythm. The spell has worn off for most people.
The people who actually like her performances scare me…seriously. That type of delusion is unhealthy.
She NEVER sings live, the least she can do is dance and lipsync like she cares. She doesn’t even care enough to do that because her deluded fans will accept anything from her.
She could literally sit on a stage and take a dump and her fans would call it epic.
Say what you want about Beyonce stans but at least they will admit when Bey is off (which is a rare event).
She is like the Charlie Sheen of music. Winning for no reason with no talent.
#rantover
@dadada yep
I dont get it.. She use to sang completely live back in the old days… even with all the hard dancing she still sung live… So why now she wants to lip-sync her life away?? I really do miss the old Britney… & I believe shes cause of course she did have 2 children sam… DUUUH ! she gained alot of weight over the years… U kno what im not about 2 explain it 2 this BI-POLAR ass website… First yall love her & want her to make a MAJOR comback.. then yall constantly Bash her… Sam & Trent yall are so Bi-polar lowlife ass people i tell ya…
Do ur thing Brit shut Tasha and Samantha up… Cause next… we’ll see who will have the last laugh…
it def wasn’t her best there is no denying that. that sad part is, this is the video you decided to post. if you watch the evening in its entirety you also get to watch Spears loosen up so that by the the ending of till the world ends you get to see her killing her routine. The largest problem with this routine is the choreographer putting tighter mor intense dance routines around ms. spears while leaving her with a half ass routine. its going to obviously look much worst. Not to mentiion ms. spears not being up to par.
Sam STFU
None’s hating on Britney. If you’re fan of hers you know she was capable to pull off awesome dance moves but this…. this is nowhere near to what we were used to see in her performances. Be real & honest Britney fans. She didn’t slay a thing.
She truly looked bad.
Poor thing.
EVERYONE IS BLAMING THE PEOPLE AT TGJ FOR PUTTING HER DOWN, BUT IT’S THE TRUTH. SHE HAS LOST ALL OF HER TALENT….SHE LOOKS LIKE A DAMN PUPPET…..SMH….BRITNEY IT’S TIME TO HANG IT UP, FLAT SCREEN.
Come on on now it wasn’t that bad people. At the end of the day she is not a happy bubbly teenager anymore who bounces around on stage.
Britney is a pop icon and has already made her mark on pop culture. I watched the vid a couple of times and yea she is a bit stiff but she still looks like she was enjoying herself, she has said recently that she loves this new album and I think it shows. Britney and GaGa will have the pop albums of 2011!!!!
TGJ just get mad when their favs don’t even sell anywhere near as much as Britney and aren’t as popular, people need to stop living in the past and just except Britney for the artist and performer she is now. If it’s not for you then fine don’t watch or listen 🙂
Truth is truth. ‘Hater’ and ‘why u mad’ are words and pharses used to deflect from the truth.
Truth- the day she came out she blew us away….. those that were alive to witness it in real time and not youtube. The fact that people are so upset explains how great she was at dancing back then. If u like what she is doing then explain what makes it great and move on
I feel like at least the girl is trying… she doesn’t need all the extra negative comments and energy she’s really doing her best.. – from a BeyonceStan
It’s funny that this site only shows 1 of the videos of her performance that night. if you watch the performance of “Till The World Ends” its a big improvement on this performance, you also need to consider the fact that she is now 29 and has had 2 kids, obviously going through weight gain and loss and her emotional state this has an affect. She is still an icon and even though she is not the Britney she used to be, hey Ke$ha doesnt dance on stage?
HATER ! LMAO! MY GOODNESS BURN IN HELL B****
I am not even a Britney Spears fan but I can tell from watching that video that Britney
was not into performing on that stage. I don’t why some people are getting mad
about the truth concerning Britney. know matter how her fans want to believe
that was a good performance is was not. You can’t deny that Britney ‘s
heart in not into to music anymore.
Britney can do better than this but hey if her dumb ass fans want to throw way there money to see her put on a bad drag show let them
I still love Britney and I want her in Trinity. I do not like new artists. i will buy her album. This was not good but I KNOW she can do better so I’m not gonna HOLD IT AGAINST HER!
Now Britney stans, y’all know this music is garbage and this performance clip is just plain embarrassing. I liked Brit’s music (Blackout and before) but she appears to be lobotomized now. Perhaps she should rest awhile….While she’s at it, she can watch some Jackson clips (as another poster suggested) as her homework if she wants to stay in the game. Starting with “Escapade” posted on this site….What is almost so painful that it’s funny is that there are STILL people trying to defend the performances. White people , lol…..
eh. i don’t check for Britney as a performer anymore. It’s just something you expect like BeYAWNce putting her name on songs she didn’t write. It’s just one of those things.
Definitely not the best I’ve seen from her but in her defense she’s 30 now not 17.She’s not gonna dance the same. You got to be kidding right ? this performance was way better than vma’s 07 !
Watched the video and it’s better than some performances she’s done lately but nowhere near where she was at. I don’t think her age or superold knee injury have anything to do with it. I know plenty of Dancers older than her that still serve it and her knee surgery was so long ago ( pre s**** for you, pre stronger video).
I think she’s uncomfortable and is maybe a little over the grind of being Britney Spears. Hope she finds the love for it again or just retires. Anyway, her leotard was fantastic and sparkly, and the wind machine effect for her non- dance dance break was a nice touch. Maybe she’ll get better but the performance was NOT horrible! I’m used to her lip synching because she has done that forever so I didn’t even factor that into my “evaluation”. Good luck ms spears.
honestly it wasn’t that bad. it was better than some of her performances of the circus era … and she still dances circles around gaga and rihanna …
On the real I think that Britney lost it because she had those babies! Now im not tryin to bring her down or her family because motherhood is very beautiful but usually after a woman has a couple of babies they start to lose it! She looks like a 40 year old mother now! I hate to say it but she will never be the Im a s**** for you britney we know! Y do u think Beyonce hasnt had any kids yet??? Because she knows that she will lose it too!
Sad but she is improving…..Im just happy she is well and getting better.
The way depression meds work is that the almost absolutely nutralise the persons personality. In order to control the extremes they make it so that your never too happy or never too sad. It takes years and a reduction in meds for you to ever see signs of the character you were before meds.
Excuse my spelling and grammar.
sorry but I’m tired of the whole “yeah, she’s been through a lot”, people are always makin up excuses for her. She clearly doesn’t have the passion anymore. I think this is her last album with Jive, they had a 7-album-contract. I love Britney soooooo much but seriously now, it’s time for her to bow out
i dont really like it she can do better than that.
I think Brittany did a good job. She didn’t throw her b*** or humping cross the stage, so to some people she didn’t do a good job. She kept it classy fort he young who are watching. Brittany is a mom now and it looks to me she is a changed woman for the better. Good job Brittany.
sorry but ya talking bollocks this clip shows shes still got it stop posting up all the negative s***. http://gossipcenter.com/britney-spears/video/britney-spears-till-world-ends-las-vegas-performanceth
Beyonce is so pressed that Mathew wasn’t able to buy her “Till the World Ends” and “I Wanna Go” from Sony. mathew Knowles was negotiating that the songs should be sent to Beyonce, but Sony stopped them from getting being sent to Columbia.
Rumor has it that Beyonce wanted to write a few words and claim songwriting credit for Till the World Ends, but the songwriters protested about her scheming. She fired Mathew because he can’t license the pop-dance songs she wanted to plagiarize!
Even Dr. Luke tweeted that she wanted to steal the Britney songs and attach her name to it!
