built 186 days ago
Spears made her third consecutive MTV Video Music Awards performance. While performing "I'm a Slave 4 U", she controversially utilized caged animals and danced erotically with a large albino python draped over her shoulders. Animal-rights organization PETA claimed that the animals featured in the performance were mistreated and cancelled plans for an anti-fur billboard that was to feature Spears.[51] Her career success was highlighted by Forbes Magazine in 2002 as Spears was ranked the world's most powerful celebrity.[52] At a performance at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, she appeared with Christina Aguilera performing the song "Like a Virgin", and was later joined by Madonna. Spears locked lips with Madonna in a highly-publicized kiss.[53][54][55][56]

Spears's performance at 2007 MTV Video Music Awards received much media attention, being described as a disappointing attempt at a comeback.[75][76][77] She performed "Gimme More", the lead single from her album Blackout. Reviews of the performance were unfavorable; the BBC stated that "her performance would go down in the history books as being one of the worst to grace the MTV Awards."[78] The Times noted that "Spears was out of synch as she lip-synched and at times just stopped singing altogether."[79] Despite the VMA backlash, the single has achieved success worldwide.[80][81][82]
