Oh, how we got a flutter of excitement in our bellies as Britney Spears took to the stage on The X-Factor in Britain on Saturday night — a day before MTV aired Britney: For The Record, an “expose” on her “comeback.” And oh, how that flutter became a knot of nerves as we realized that Britney is not really back up to fully-fuctioning superstar mode. Granted, it wasn’t a disaster on the 2007 MTV awards scale, but her performance wasn’t really worthy of golf claps, let alone the cringingly overdone standing ovation that she did get at the end of it. Soooo, let’s rate the Britney X-Factor!
Outfit: Fierce. As we mentioned earlier, she’s ripped off Madonna, but looks good so we forgive her. And the circus ringmaster hat is cute.
Hair: Not so good. The extensions are totally obvious, and someone got a little over-eager with the straighteners — so 2005.
Voice: Come on, Brit Brit! If you’re going to mime, at least do it convincingly! Totally rubbish.
Dance routine: Well, the actual dancers were excellent. But striding across the stage and doing the odd hair-flick does not a choreographed routine make. Seriously, it felt like Britney wasn’t “up” to doing a full-on dance.
Overall? Not the triumphant comeback we were hoping for, sadly. And as the British media is also full of reports at Britney’s diva-like behaviour backstage (sealing off whole areas and not bothering to watch the contestants’ performance), the whole event has been one great big disappointment. And in case you’re wondering? The M in M-Factor stands for “meh”. A great big pile of meh.

Is this how she wants to be remembered? As a Madonna clone??? And not even a convincing one. Madonna at 50, does a much better job of a seductive performance. Britney should have been herself and come with something new or at least revert back to her old persona (not the psycho mental patient). This comeback won’t last.
Whatever you think of Britney’s perromance on Saturday, Womanizer is an undeniably a brilliant and catchy track. You can listen to the Britney back catalogue and Womanizer for free on We7.

She did good and people shouldn’t be using her past, (that is why it is call the past) Let it go and enjoy what she is doing now. We are only human and no one is perfect but we can respect each other. Britney did great and I love the new song. Patrick I don’t agree with one word you said! God Bless
That was TERRIBLE. I kept waiting for some good dance moves, or really sexy choreographed moves, and she basically walked around the stage and didnt do anything worthy. She needs to step her game up big time. that was disappointing
Everyone needs to jump off her !~~(*+*((“+~~`( let her breathe, and not critizise her so much. shes human like the rest of us and considering her recent issues she did very good. no wonder shes got ussues and is depressed cuz everyone wants to critizise her every move!!! let tha chick live!!!!
I think it was pretty darn good! Not the best performace she has done, but definitely fun and enjoyable! Great comeback!
get off her )*&&*&$#+(#+!~~` she made a comeback, got her life together and yall )%`~@+*@%$#_+%%_` es still hating…Get the @(+^%@~#(!$$$^^^ over it…If she sang live, yall )%`~@+*@%$#_+%%_` es will be complaining then…If you don’t like Britney, don’t @(+^%@~#(!$$$^^^ ing watch her…
i liked it.
Get off her jock, Madonna is &^@$~%)+_~`!@*@_ ing old and everyone rips her off even you when u get dressed on a daily basis. There is no such thing as RIPPING off a ICON, someone brittany watched when she was 5 and 6 and was influenced by. Everything she does comes and seems natural to her, we were all influenced by the things we saw growing up,its not like brittany and madonna are the sae age and have been out the same amount of time, THAT would be ripping her off, you cant accuse brittany of doing something that bassically every female performer black or white in our age group does, because no matter how hard they try to be original, what u seen growing up made you who u are today. So get off brittanys &^@$~%)+_~`!@*@_ ing case and let her heal and stop trying to break her down like shes anyless human than the +%`~^~(#++#%%*%_ Z who wrote this &^@$~%)+_~`!@*@_ ing article.
I think everyone is too critical of britney! Let’s take a step back and look at what we really know Britney to be…She never was a good live singer. She just looked great and could dance! I thought she looked good! Cut the girl some slack!
She just looks lazy, like she can’t really be bothered. Well maybe we can’t be bothered to buy your album then Britters!
Britney Spears I really think you are really cool and a role model to me
