The 2016 MTV VMAs may be two days behind us, but Beyonce fans are still praising the diva for her historic night. After nabbing her 22nd moonman (making her the most decorated artist in the show’s history), the ‘Formation’ maestra put down a show-stopping 15 minute performance of hits found aboard her 6th chart-topping album, ‘Lemonade,’ that easily stole the show.
Her showing not only set an almost impossible bar for the rest of the night, but also put that much more pressure on the next performer – Britney Spears – which, as fans know, was already high given her 9 year absence from the VMA stage (see: the shambolic 2007 ‘Gimme More’ performance).
When recently quizzed on her thoughts on MTV scheduling her behind the dynamic Queen Bey, Brit shared some interesting thoughts. Read them below:
Via Zach Sang show:
“I really wasn’t thinking about that,” Spears, 34, said during a radio interview with the Zach Sang Show on Monday, August 29. “I actually had a shadow in front of me and I was looking at the shadow and making little faces with my hands and stuff [backstage]. No, I didn’t even really think about it.”
“[I was] in the Britney zone,” she said on Tuesday. “I got home and realized it was probably too late to talk to them. And then I had a sandwich and talked to my girlfriends. We opened a window to the hotel room because we needed fresh air because we had been in that room for six hours that day and we were just glad that [it] was over.”

And then Britney says, “I actually had a shadow in front of me and I was looking at the shadow and making little faces with my hands and stuff [backstage]. No, I didn’t even really think about it.”

I.AM.DEADDDDTTTTT
LOL…..i know u hate Bey, but even u have to agree that what was supposed to be her big comeback was well…..DELAYED.
When did I say I hate Bey? Please separate me from your simple deluded deranged pathetic sad hater world, thanks.
“Delayed”, just like britney herself
Leave the girl alone Beyonce day will come when no one gives a f*** then what will the cockroaches do you can’t stay on top forever Beyonce does the same high tempo dances in leotard on stage predictable make people think it’s special bey can’t sing a ballad song that gives you goose bumps leotard and company
Britney had better hits than Beyonce back in the day Beyonce gets praise for mediocre songs by critics and the fact she parading black lives matter to make money in her pocket combine with her fake story of Jayz cheating Beyonce is Robinhood in the industry next year it’s on to another money making scheme
Lol..even Stevie Wonder can see how much u hate bey????. U have practically wished her every bad thing and called her all the names in the book.
Provide some receipts or keep your delusions to yourself
LoveBird is the definition of a true hater.

My gosh those fat thunder thighs are hideous and grotesque looking ewwwww.
Anyway all this, with 100,000 songs recorded according to Gay Z and still no album? Lmao, what are you afraid of?
But where is the lie though, Beyonce had fat thunder thighs, glad she decided to go on a healthy vegan diet and tone those thighs down, she looks much healthier now. Are you part of the fat acceptance crowd? Maybe you should hit the gym too.
Well, Rhianna’s head looks like the Canadian’s from “South Park”. Feel free to have several seats.
Come thru Tyler….LONELYBIRD has said some horrible things about bey.
Right, because it makes you such a big little man to talk about something that is out of a person’s control. Beyonce’s weight is something she can control and she was an advocate for “eating healthy” remember, there was no excuse for her. But continue to expose just what a small little person with limited cognitive ability you have.
I love the hypocrisy in your comments… You don’t want other people to judge, yet you judge people based on their appearance, and call them out of their names all of the time.
As for Beyonce being overweight… She isn’t. Either way it shouldn’t be an insult, nor a compliment. Stop living in a f****** PC world and call a spade a spade b****.
I call them out on what they can change and have control over, that is their weight. You clearly don’t know what is considered medically obese and Beyonce’s weight at the time was far from healthy.
‘
She was an advocate for healthy living with Michelle Obama, remember? She had no excuse.
‘
She went on a plant based vegan diet and toned up, she looks so much better now, hence me not talking about her weight anymore.
You talked about Rihanna’s head, something she has no control over and want to lecture me about talking about Beyonce’s weight, something she has control over.
‘
Really, this coming from someone who is an advocate against racism, seeing that race is something you cannot control, who is the hypocrite again.
‘
Maybe you should look up the meaning of the word again, but then again I have to take into account your very limited and seem to be diminishing cognitive ability.
BirdBrain you sound dumb af! SAM DELETE THIS NOW
Lol….u know the messed up things u’ve said about her. Figure it out sis…
Still not seeing any receipts.
I’m not even a Britney fan. But Britney Spears has been there and done that. Not only does she have two of the most iconic VMA performance’s ever. Her “Baby One More Time” album has outsold Bey’s entire career combined. Britney isn’t worried about Bey. It’s takes all of her albums to reach the 31 million “BOMT” has sold worldwide. I won’t even add the 25 million “Oops!… I Did It Again” sold.
Don’t do this stupid story. She didn’t think about it because she doesn’t need to.
LMAO….BRICKNEE WAS PROBABLY PISSED AS HELL THAT SHE GOT OVERSHADOWED. EVERYONE AND THERI AUNTY AND BABY MOTHERS WERE ALL CLOWNING HER ON TWITTER…..THE MEMES WERE JUST FUNNY
@lb DEADDT like her dance moves!! ??
Sigh! I shade Britney but I’m over MTV doing her dirty like that! They knew exactly what they were doing. She should have went before or at least be given a bigger time slot. She released like 4 singles! Britney’s 2001 VMA performance is arguably the most Iconic VMA performance! She deserved better.
i am screaming………….THEY PLAYED HER. REMEMBER WHEN THEY SAID SHE WAS GOING TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD MAKE EVERYONE GO WOW…WELL WE ALL DID SAY WOW, BUT FOR SOMEONE ELSE..ANY GUESS??? LMAO
?! And on top of that! They has her wear yellow to promote LEMONADE ???!! They were seriously wrong for that! Haha
LEAVE GRITNEY ALONE! KII. Not bey leaving her unable to think. I’m done.
@Alex,
‘
Why are you so mad? She was literally playing shadow puppets instead of worrying about Bey, that s*** is hilarious. The hive swears by it that everyone is so worried and bothered by their fav, but Brit just showed that she is way to secure to worry about what someone else is doing.
‘
I hope this revelation has broken the ivory tower of delusion the hive swears by.
I hope Beyonce upstaging Rihanna on her big night, snatching 8 moon men in one night, and becoming the most awarded artist in VMA history knocked down your Ivory Tower of delusions of thinking Bey is shook or worried about goat vocal Rihanna!
????
Well she was worried enough to ask for a 15 min slot on someone else’s night, she really worked extra hard to try and upstage Rihanna so good for her. Fortunately all everyone talked about was AubRih and Rihanna’s most important moon-man of the night. One of the youngest recipients might I add.
The fact that everyone talked about Rihanna’s speech is the true shade. The fact that Rihanna had 4 performances that were 12 minutes long combined yet MTV allowed Bey to have 15 minutes on Rihanna’s night is the true shade. The fact that Bey got 8 moon men on the night Rihanna got the biggest award is shade. If anybody’s bubble got burst it was the navy!
Lol…now i am sure HATEBIRD hates bey for real. U know damn well what everyone is still talking about is Bey’s performance and the message behind it.
How did the Navy’s bubble get burst? The Navy enjoyed Rihanna’s performances and talked about nothing but Rihanna and AubRih, Beyonce fans watched Beyonce’s performances and proceeded to talk about Rihanna. So please, explain to me how the navy were bothered?
Well, Rihanna must have been worried seeing as how she had one of her dancer’s release Beyonce’s set list before the show. No matter how hard they try,they can’t sabotage the Queen Bey.
Lol don’t bother LB. You know beyonce’s delusional fans will never admit how much Rihanna has them all constantly pressed and bothered, including Beyonce.
Rhianna’s vocals were horrid during Needed Me, Pour It Up, and Work BTW. She had 4 performance and only screeched about 5 words during each song kii
So what, the Navy still enjoyed it and that is all that matters. Rihanna was surrounded by people who love and support her and they loved her performances, hence her smile by the end of the night. The haters, aka you, can stay pressed over that.
Be prepared to support more mediocrity because all of those Black n Milds have done a number on Rihanna’s voice. You go Glen Coco! You Go!
And 10 years later, she is still here. Clearly nobody cares about any of that besides the hive, hence you not being able to keep her name out of your mouth.
10 years later and she still runs out of breathe .0001 seconds into a performance lol
@lb Im not mad at all. Lol. Besides, she’s used to being upstaged by Bey. I.e. Brittany’s 2011 vanguard ceremony being outshines by the Queen’s PREGNANCY annoumcement. ??
Announcement
The quote from Britney recently that REALLY is weird…
While most entertainers would hold onto the memory of their MTV Video Music Awards performance like the birth of their first child, Britney says she has “no recollection” of the first time she hit the VMAs stage in 1999.
“I think I was with *NSYNC when I performed for the first time,” Spears said on the “Elvis Duran and the Z Morning Zoo” radio show Monday morning. “I think the whole setup was a classroom, I wanna say, and my four main dancers were in the front at their desk and I came out of my locker. But, you know what, I don’t remember at all. I have no recollection. I couldn’t tell you anything about it.”
Girl, WHET? lol
Perhaps her mental breakdown fizzled her memories…
Or that MK-Ultra chile…BETA programming
@fancy I’m done with you B*tch Kii
Or maybe is was over 17 years ago and she has done thousands of shows since that one and it seemed to me she remembered the highlights of it. This girl has been working since she was a child, I doubt she remembers every single performance she ever did.
Ok….. I LIVE for this dodged answer.
Good job Brit!
–
But I aint forgot about that HORRENDOUS job on the VMAs. How the hell your team is going to hype up that MESS!? Brit looked good and I actually thought she moved better than her recent efforts but the lip syncing and the corny feeling on G Eazy with all the crotch grabbing was just desperate and wasn’t necessary for such a lame song.
And she was literally the only one that was lip syncing for the GAWDS that night! And had the AUDACITY to bring a hand held mic to sing “Me, Myself & I”………… smh
–
And her new album “Maury” is not good.
Britney from 1999 – 2003 was the QUEEN!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQktegeVI9g
Screaming. Her new album isnt ‘Maury’ its ‘Glory’
Fancy BISH
I died and came back to life girl! She said Mkultra mind control! I’m done good night! ????????
First Britney used her Vanguard Award Speech as a introduction for Beyonce performance in 2011. Fast forward to 2016 she had to have her big “COME BACK PERFORMANCE” AFTER Beyonce came and stole the show from everybody including the star of the night “Rihanna”. MTV said Beyonce is the queen of the VMA’s and all you other girls have to work your performance around Lemonade ???
Lol…….i am screaming, just noticed she wore yellow to promote lemonade??????? This girl has been unlucky this past few years. How the hell do u have two mics and none of them were on???
2 microphones and not one live note came out lol! On the real Britney should have opened the show or a least came right after Rihanna performed her 1st set. Her team should have been more aggressive & reminded MTV that she was the main attraction back in the day before Beyonce went solo and took over. Her team failed her by having her perform after Bey!
Girl someone set her up! Y’all said she wore yellow to promote lemonade I’m lol so hard I’m gagging with tears! Them queens over at VMA are messy and I’m here for it! I liked to died when they gave Britney a real mic like she was about to blow. Girl that mic was a toy!!
I was just about to comment about that…Great work sis
She thought about it, So stop!
And girl your performance was upstaged by Ari & Nicki, Brit im so pissed at u! Just go back to vegas
Say what, now?? Bless Britney!
Its obvious though that she & her team aren’t thinking a lot lately. First they should have re-recorded the tracks she sang to make it at least seem live even though she was going to lip sync. It sounded like bebe rexha voice in g-eazy’s me myself & i and even britney’s make me should have been re-recorded.
Then her performance was a mess & total let down & all over the place, it was so fuccing stiff like trying to bend a wood. She should let her back up dancers do more.
I love Beyoncé but she makes basically the same performance over and over again, the same moves, I prefer JLo Ciara or Janet, the are more versatile.
More versatile in everything except vocals which is why Bey is and will remain a supior performer.
Anyway, when the hell is Bey releasing these new formation dates? I’m going to need her to snatch highest grossing female tour! Beyoncé got the Dinosaur stans, Knee stans, and Slavi shook! Also Bey only needs 11 more Grammys to be the most awarded artist’s ever!!! ?! All this with only 6 album’s!!! ?
Bey will be the most awarded “Female singer” in 2017 surpassing Aretha Franklin however the most Grammys of all time will be an uphill battle because the woman who has 27 will continue to dominate her genre because not that many women who slay at playing the Violen and being a Grammy favorite. Tour dates are concerned she may stretch it out to 2017 or even better than joint album my be true and her and Jay may be plotting another joint tour. Bey is full of surprises who knows!
Huh? She passed Aretha. Bey has 20 grammys Aretha has 18. Allison Krause is the only female songer who has more. She has 27 grammys. The artists with the most male or female is Georg Solti with 31 grammys. The most awarded person is a music composer with i think like 60 grammys lol!
Beyonce and Kanye West “fade” music video, stole the WHOLE SHOW! You tried but ultimately failed Brit…these are the 2 things that were actually poppin. I ain’t sorry!
Did you even read her statement, Britney didn’t care, she went to her room with her girlfriends and literally just hang out. You’re so gay you try to create drama were there isn’t any, is this really your life? What a pathetic sad existence you live.
BYE YOU RIHTARDED ASS B****. TREAT YOUR ASS TO A DAMN 1ST GRADE CLASSROOM and STAY THE NIGHT B****!
Failed at what?! She’s not competing with Beyoncé they are fans of each other. She came out and did her best stop being shady! Beyoncé obviously did amazing too!
I told y’all that this years VMA’s was going to be like the 2011 Billboard Awards all over again lol. YOU’RE WELCOME
I see no lies!
Why does Britney speak as if she is still highly medicated? “Looking at shadows/making faces” etc. Girl…
.
LOL.
Well she is….her fake and animated smile is what gives it away. She always looks dead inside….lets just pray this time she actually goes to a good barber to……NVM
Britney did a good job. Sure Beyonce was great. But it was nothing new. Britney did a lot better. Y’all enjoy hating.
The delusion is real in this thread.
Kiiii
Kudos to Britney for letting folks know that she has more important things to pay attention to than beyonce, even if it’s shadow puppets LOL. And I find it hilarious how beyonce fans are so hell bent on convincing themselves that she “stole the show” when back here on Earth folks are still talking about Rihanna and Drake.
@SMH
I’m also wondering why Beyonce fans are so upset over this, like Britney was playing shadow puppets and didn’t care what Beyonce was doing, so what?
‘
Why is it so important that Britney cares about Beyonce. These guys have mental issues, they think they are Beyonce or something smh.
Lol….u know what u are doing. You are trying to make what Britney said fit ur negative vendetta against Bey.??????
Really, which part of my statement drew you to that conclusion, please explain.
Poor CRICKETKNEE…..JUST LIKE 2011 VMA’S ALL OVER AGAIN???????
Clearly, since you weren’t even singing.
Yet again, shitshit proves to be one of the dumbest and laziest in the business!
Funny how a statement made by Britney Spears turned into a discussion about Rihanna. Anyway the navy thanks you (the hive) for always having Rihanna on your mind, for always supporting her (you’re her biggest supporters) and for constantly talking about her. See you at the Grammy’s, or the next post about Rihanna and/or Beyonce (where you’ll bring up Rihanna anyway)…whatever.
That’s right! You tell em Brit! Not everyone is ass kissing & beyonce overrated ass. Yes respect her, But Britney’s focused on her own performance just like everyone else. Enough with the ass kissing, I give props when it’s due, & Beyonce was just over the top long & Not that great as everyone making it…
I still don’t get what is beyonce lacking, she is the greatest, the biggest, the most talented, she has all the females singers shook, but she never had Diamond sales, she is in the game since 1998 why the gp don’t see it and buy her albums. Britney is the most googled ever celebrity and sold so much, it’s impossible for beyonce to catch up, so I’ll leave her aside. But Adele, Taylor they all outsold Beyonce, and is neck to neck with Rihanna, plus they have smash hits at the same time, why can’t she reach Adele and Taylor numbers, I mean at least sell 1 mil. first week, even in 2003 DIL only reached 4 platinum, what happened.
Exactly! She has no MAJOR MAJOR Album seller or that many hits! So overrated lol…
Girl bye, Taylor is f****** overrated along with Adele whom i do enjoy and has takent but not superior than others whom are truly underrated. Its a proven fact thru videos on YouTube on live notes that Bey can outsing Adele. Last i check sells dont mean s***, theses artists can sell a million today n be gone by next year like wtf happened to them?? Bey has something far more important that they have YET to achieve and that is Longtivity will be still talking about Taylor or Adele or will they be replace soon enough. lets not act like the media isnt on the verge of getting at the fake sweet heart Taylor and Adele may have sold much but I dont see no single slayage like 21 did.
You guys only focus on current stuff. Overall, Britney SLAYS Beyonce. In album sales, Hits , Pop Culture Impact & Yes PERFORMANCES! Y Britney has so many iconic performances & dance her ass off. Even this year, I’d rather go back & watch her VMAs over Beyonce!
TALENT??????
Britney was just the knock off WHITE MAN’S version of Janet Jackson. Do even get me f****** started
*don’t
But Knee has less #1’s than Bey? Beyoncé has sold more singles than knee. Has more accolades than knee. Has more respect by THEIR musical peers than knee, has had a longer career than knee. Talk about overrated why couldn’t knee give a Stadium tour when she was pushing 20+ million albums? This era alone has credited more cultural impact than any Knee era ever! When has Britney ever had world leader’s debating her artistry? When has knee ever changed the game the way Beyoncé did in 2013 with that DIGITAL DROP!
But vocals?
Lol
Brits should have chose a different colour for her dress otherwise people might think she was there to promote lemonade ?
You haters have nothing on queen bey she is best talented she slay every every body their is no one like our queen bey
Britney’s yellow outfit made her look like she was trying to promote Lemonade and Alicia Key’s red dress looked like a tribute to the Formation music video lol. I love it 🙂
I’d much rather watch a clean cute performance. Full of energy & Smooth s*** choreography. Upbeat song like Make Me. Rather than long over the top screaming & running around like wild animal or court gesture lol..
Britney’s performance wasn’t clean nor cute. She looked as if she was sleep walking the whole damn time.
I’m crying!!! Tyler is dragging today!
.
Also GODDAMN!! Does WreckedColon ever get tired of being dragged?
Meanwhile, Lemonade is currently charting in 89 countries and self-titled is charting in 98 lmao! The other’s that performed that night don’t even come close! LOLOL
You can tell when Britney needs a little extra $$$ and more songs to ‘perform’ in her Las Vegas shows because she hasn’t put her heart and soul into the music for a while now. Her dancing is just horrendous and so unmotivated. I feel like I could hear her counting the steps in her head
I don’t even understand why do people who aren’t fans of brittni always have to be on these blogs talking bad about her? I think you all like her but dont wanna give credit. Obviously shes unphased by beyonce because shes the one & only queen b. She sold 140 mil compared to beyonces 35mil (70 including destiny child) she got all her awards yesrs ago waaaaay before beyonce so including the video vanguard award. Her dad dont work at the grammy commitie like beyonces so her 1 grammy she got she actually won off sheer talent. She doesnt rig the media like beyonces team to make herself look bigger than what she is like beyonce. Britney is a real artist thats innovative. all faghive freaks just overhype beyonxe. Sit down delusionals
How long was MatheW Knwoles on the Grammy committee ?
Lol, this BackKnee stan is just pressed. Matthew was only apart of a newly formed Houston Branch from 05-07. Bey only won 1 grammy during that time for B-Day for best Contemporary R&B Album. That branch only consisted of 30 members out of 25,000 voter’s that are divided amongst 83 categories ?! The peasants stay reaching cause their fav can’t get a Grammy LMFAOOOO!!!
My STRAIGHT male friends said Beyoncé was good but she’s doing the same thing again and again i said what ??? They were like a see no difference.
They said Rihanna was good and she did different things they said they never thought Rih could dance and can sing very good her ballads.
They said the best performance was the dancehall segment.
They said Nicki Minaj ass stole the show.
They were surprised to see Britney they thought she was retired.
They said Kanye west was high that’s why he could not make a proper sentence.
And talk more about Drake and Rih saying how good Rihanna is and laughing at Drake for being in the friendzone and calling him “gay”.
Overall they said the grammy was a boring show and i ask who they going to remember the most after that night they said Rihanna bcause she performed many times.
See nobody cares seriously about struggling notes when after she came to prove she can sing.
Nobody remember Bey after if not her gay fans screaming at everything she does.
They were like its a Rihanna concert not the vma.
But when you go online and see everybody talking about Beyoncé you don’t understand why in real life people don’t care that much….
??????????
Britney does something new & innovative with each era. beyonce been doin the same era routine since 1923. youtube dances/weave swinging & ass shaking with a live band playing & with art in the background mostly stolen from original artists. #snoozeFest. but i dont count wackonce out yet. anyone can go away for a while & comeback a trillion times better. look at gucci mane for instance. britney is cemente in pop cultural impact. beyonce is a r&b singer thats been outsold by rihanna 200 Mil, adele 88Mil, taylor swift 121mil & even justin bieber 100 mil (new generation) in lesser time than beyonce sold her 35 million not including destinys child 40 mil. connects of the right people gets u hype. great innovative art is not hype & thats why brit is the real queen b. fin
Lmfaooo you clearly don’t understand record sales. You just made yourself see, extremely stupid. Taylor’s album sales are 50 million with singles it’s 170 million. Rihanna album sales are 32 million with singles it’s 192 million. Justin’s album sales are they even passed 20 million? With singles he’s passed 100 million record’s. Beyoncé sold 34.5 million album’s and 120 million singles. That’s with only 5 albums. So in total she’s sold 154 million records. Knees sales are between 170-180 million.
Wow
One thing is for sure: the only artist that has benefited from performing at the VMAs is Britney Spears. Only her single has climbed big time on itunes. Rihanna the supposed slayer (says a few of her stans and nobody else) and queen of singles that is still in her 20s has not benefited at all.
That said, Britney is/was a marketing product so I´m not defending her lack of talent.
