Team Britney will have more than enough reason to smile today. For it seems that despite her ‘interesting’ showing at the 2007 Video Music Awards, MTV still holds Ms. Spears very close to its heart.
It has been confirmed that she is to be honoured for her contributions at this years ceremony.
More information below…
With more information regarding the tribute to be released, it is worth wondering exactly how it will all play out and what prompted the decision to honour her now. Regardless, this years ceremony is definitely turning into one that no one will want to miss.
Pop Royalty right there…
It’s about time MTV
😉
she deserves it! people tend to forget that ms. spears was the driving force behind pop culture & she set the bar while making history that some of you people favs will never do. so congrats are definitely in order! I’ll sure be watching as you should too! #respect
It’s laughable that’s all
The Legendary Godney Holy Spearit
I am sorry but MTV has been Britney’s c*** for a while now…first she wins a bunch of awards that she did not deserve and now she is receiving a tribute?
She has not done nearly enough for her to be held in such high regard. She did not pioneer anything, her music has not changed the world and her performances as of late leave a lot to be desired.
MTV needs to get off her c***, like yesterday.
#FAIL
It MTV… It was only a matter of time before they did this. They worshipped her (and the rest of the white artists of her generation) since her debut. Not surprising.
@KD Oh really??? Britney made the most legendary performances, has sold over 100 millions and although she is under 30 she is already one of Top 5 biggest selling females of all time. Her videos,songs,performances even her meltdowns were all ICONIC. She started a new era and tons of young female singers followed her footsteps, she changed it into a s*** mature way in 2001 then everybody turned into s*** mature women image all of whom copied totally Britney. Baby One More Time and Oops I Dıd It Again had the strongest impact in popular culture. Britney DEFINETELY deserves a tribute.. You dont have to love her but u must RESPECT her.It’s all about Britney for 13 years, she rules..
Though I don’t like her songs, there’s no doubt she is one of the biggest selling artists of the 2000’s and has had a lot of #1 songs. Who’s going to tribute her? Rihanna maybe?
Her meltdowns were all ICONIC. *DEAD*
I will not even bother getting into a discussion with someone whose room is probably a Britney shrine, covered in Britney’s posters/cutouts and that sweat-drenched towel from when she actually knew how to put on a good show.
Please, they better recognize the hand that feed them.
Britney’s 2007 performance put that show even more on the map, it was the talk of the world for an enrtire month.
That s how big of a star Britney is. Even when she under-performs she keeps the world’s watching with unparalleled attention.
she lipsynchs, doesnt write her own music, can’t dance, doesnt produce her own music, can’t sing
legend.
Well, I actually would prefer her to perform, but a tribute is good too.GO GIRL.
She looks young and fresh in the commercial btw.That’s a good thing.
She is too young to have a tribute !
BRITNEY AND RHI RHI IS THE QUEENS OF POP.. THIS IS A NO-BRAINER, BRITNEY HAS ALWAYS HAD THE BEST VIDEOS SO BEING HONORED AT THE VMA’S IS VERY MUCH LONG OVER DO. GO BRITNEY!!!
IF CHRISTINA AGUILERA PERFORMS… THAT WOULD BE EPIC… SHE COULD DO THE TRIBUTE TO AMY … AND THEN TO BRITNEY… AND THEN PERFORM AT THE MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE…. SHE WILL DEFINITELY GET HER STATUS BACK UP… SHE BETTER ENLIST LORI ANN GIBSON TO HELP HER WITH THE DANCING…. CROSSING FINGERS… LOL
^_^ guess we coulda seen this comin love her or loathe her the woman is huge and has jumped hurdles. I think its her legacy that majkes this worthy, most memorable thing about her vma performances were gimmicks; snake, madonna kiss etc She’s actually a lovely person its her fans that are disrespectful twats. If someone started a lousy rumour now that the award was originally meant for Beyoncé lets see how well those dimwitt preschoolers take it
When the dust settles, i hope some ppl compare the comments on this post to the ones on Beyonce’s millenium award announcement. It’ll correct alot of notions about which fanbase is notorious
She has good songs but Oops I did it again and baby one more time was Cheesy as f***! How did that s*** bubble gum pop change POP pls let’s not she doesn’t have the talent to back her success I mean she is a so called pop icon but she lip syncs and auto tune her voice! Her performances are all gimmicks and never great Brit was never a dancer to me why ppl call her a dance is beyond me! That’s not dancing that’s someone having fun
R u kiddin why Xtina make a tribute to her peer? Get one of these younger broads to do it. I cant picture anyone actually maybe kesha, katy, Are there any bubble gum females left? Evryone is now a rebel smh
Jus noticed more male artists use autotune compared to their female counterparts
Dead at TGJ’s next post. That was quick lol. Headin over now
#Werk Brit #DaKWEEN
She deserve it, people!
The best selling female of the past decade and her video IS EPIC!
She grown with MTV :
2000 : Britney Spears performed “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” and her hit “Oops!… I Did It Again” which became one of the VMA’s most iconic and controversial performances mostly due to Spears’ skin-colored performance attire! WTF!
2001 : At the 2001 VMA, Britney Spears gave another memorable performance . Along with dancing in a very revealing outfit, the performance is probably MOST REMEMBERED.
and … 2003 – The BEST momment to MTV VMA`s, Britney kissed Madonna.
and.. 2007 – The BAD performance but EPIC for everyone.
#Peace!
Mtv is Mtv and it sucks.
ALL I DESIRE IS A CONFIRMATION THAT BEYONCE will perform…..I hope she does!!!!
@bey knight
I swear,her father is her manager too but you wont hear no stupid rumors about her paying this or that.It’s all racism.
Britney stans had the audacity to say the BMA was destined to britney.
@KD
They are on britney c****** for the longest now.Cant believe she is getting so much accolades forr them with all her crappy videos lately
@ kat deluna , lol her fans said that she gave away the millennium award because she didn’t want it. The mtv award is not a better one and she is accepting it. Oh lawd the thing some fans say to take shame away from her face and anger from their voices. Britney fans.lmao

BRITNEY DESERVES THE TRIBUTE, she has accomplished a lot
a whole lot in her life .
How many ARTIST BRITNEY age have gotten so many
DIAMOMD AWARDS? OVER 100 MILLION ALBUMS
sold & counting. and people don’t have to like her music
thats a personal thing but the super star has made
many WAVES, IN THE INDUSTRY.
Funny how people are quick to label a artist music & songs as GENERIC
when these are the very songs that is geared to a certain group of people
all around the world. britney might not be all of that to some but i think
shes very deserving just like all the others who these award shows tends
to honor. people often times trys to give write artists off, how sad!
You people are f****** hilarious if you don’t like it don’t watch the show. Britney has done a lot for the MTV and the VMA’s. Regardless of her current state she is still more relevant than most of your faves! FACT
** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYM6J1l-1sY **
SHE CAME AT THE RIGHT TIME IN POP CULTURE. THERE WAS A VOID IN POP MUSIC THAT SHE FILLED AND WHEN SHE CAME AROUND PEOPLE STILL PURCHASED MUSIC. ITS SAD CONSIDERING HOW SHE STARTED AND WHERE SHE IS TODAY. SHE’S STILL SO YOUNG YET SUCH A HAS BEEN. HER PERFORMANCES ARE SO WEAK. SHE SHOULD BE THE STANDARD BUT SHE ISN’T. SHE HAS HER MONEY SO SHE’LL BE OK.
COMING FROM A BEYONCE FAN,
I THINK BRITNEY DESERVES IT…SHES VERY ICONIC & SHE WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED. SO YES!! GO BRITNEY!!!
UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, How the f*** is Britney iconic? Britney is a legend, but not a damn icon! Icons are Madonna, Janet Fatson, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey. If anything, Madonna needs a damn tribute. Britney’s PRODUCERS AND WRITERS CREATED A NEW POP SOUND AND THAT’S ONLY BECAUSE MUSIC WAS STILL EVOLVING! Nsync, Backstreet Boys, and NKOTB had that same generic sound as well! Britney is nothing but white, trailer park trash who got lucky in the industry. She was never innovative or unique! She didn’t set the bar for many singers today. She’s just a perfect example of how the right poppish beats and s*** image can make you a star. I can’t stand Beyonce, but Beyonce set the bar for so many damn singers and so many singers try to copy off of her and she actually has talent! MTV is just doing this for ratings. Britney’s career is over, she just needs to sit down and be a good mother to her kids.
britney’s greatest days were as a ‘t*** queen bubble gum popstar’ ! she has done nothing outstanding since!!
mtv, the media and her fans are living in a time warp and are stuck on britney like funk on a skunk.
artist’s ability to make high record sells to what is totally more difficult than it was in the late 90’s and early 2000. to compare britney’s sells to what other artists sell today is just completely idiotic.
@KAT DELUNA FAN
lol u dead right actually her father has more control over her than a manager, he’s conservator of her wealth, he prolly bought this award
correction:
‘an artist’s ability to make high record sales is far more difficult’
great!
britney is the best famele artist and the next queen of pop music
Well. i took my time to read all your comments…. Lets make this clear.. I’m a die hard Britney fan since 1998… im gonna try to be as objective as i can… and talk from facts.
A) When Britney came out, Pop Music needed a fresh, young spokewoman.. simce Madonna and Janet were already legend at that time… (1998). Baby One More time became the first album n single to hit #1 at the same time with the same tittle. sold Millions of copies worldwide and YES, open the door to Christina, Jessica simpson and Mandy Moore at that time!!
B) Lets not forget the Vmas are about videos and “Baby one more time”‘s video became one of the most iconics trademark of her as an artist with the school girl outfit. what it helped her to perform for the 1999 vma’s with NSYNC..
C) Opps i did it again Era got her one of the best selling album with 2 million+ copies sold in less than a week. Once Again, her Performance at the Vma caused controversy cuz people thought her outfit was see trough. and she rocked the vmas that year…
D)I’m a S**** 4 u.. Video and performance.. ICONIC moments in music. enough said
E)Her Kiss with Madonna is one of the Greatest moments in music history.. not only for Mtv.. it represented 2 generations of Pop icons together. Plus her Toxic Video became a high standard for Pop Videos to come.
F) Even her “worst ” performance (notice i used “worst” cuz i like it) got the attention of people for months and the VMAS were the talk of the whole planet..
Bottom line is MTV needed to incorporate Britney to the show for ratings.. the show previously was looking absolutely boring (Adele, Katy perry, bruno mars.. BLAH). they knew they needed that extra something to boost interest. lets recap too that an VMA without Britney = no ratings.. check this .. all the vmas where she wasnt even part of the audience were miserable when it came to ratings.. especially cuz Britney is an INTERNATIONAL POP STAR… lots of big names here in the US are nothing in other countries.
So yeah, Britney does deserve a tribute. She’s part of the mtv family and POP culture for 13 years. shes no newbie and her fan base is HUGE!
Haters gonna hate……BYE SORE LOSERS!!! >=)
MTV has seriously lost the plot, a Britney Spears tribute, are they on crack. F*** Britney Spears, They should be paying tribute to the real Queen Of Pop MADONNA!
Madonna has won more mtv awards than any other artist & been on top of her game since 1982. She is a true f****** legend. Britney Spears is just a bimbo white trash who should go back to the gutters of louisiana.
