Undeterred by the backlash to her VMA showing, Britney Spears is back to her old tricks.

During a promotional performance of new single ‘Make Me’ on the Today Show this morning, the singer’s microphone was noticeably mute. Instead, her studio voice blared from the speakers.

Now, while next to no one ever looks to the 34-year-old for her vocal chops, something about this particular showing felt especially…”off.”

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:

Social media was sent into a frenzy earlier this year when news hit that The Spice Girls were reuniting.

It’s been 20 years since the iconic five-piece went from ‘Wannabe’s to the biggest band in the world. A fact which makes the present a fitting time to celebrate their career.

As reported though, not all members are willing a comeback – namely Victoria Beckham and Mel C.

Beckham’s lack of involvement in the proposed set of anniversary shows was confirmed from the get go, yet Sporty Spice’s attachment was billed as being in limbo.

In a new interview with The Love Magazine, the 42-year-old mother of one dispels confusion. She will indeed not be a part of Spice Girls GEM (which folk have since learned is an acronym for Geri/Emma/Mel).
