FACEBOOKFor those who says Britney did not deserve these wards: Can you please tell me who could win these awards if Britney did not? Rihanna with her ordinary cehap video?, or Mariah or what? Their videos are all boring, cheap and ordinary.. Piece of Me is a top-quality video which is very expensive. If you compare to other videos, Britney definetely deserved these awards.. But if you look at previous years she had better videos yes but shame on MTV that they did not give the awards which she deserved.. But this year MTV could not do anything like that coz obviously Piece of Me is better than other videos.. Britney is always popular and although she did not promote her last album, not toured,not gave interviews etc. she rocked.. She will rock harder than ever with her forthcoming album "Circus".. Womanizer is already #1 on Billboard Hot 100, Sorry for haters

Britney Spears won big at Sunday's 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, taking home three awards, including Video of the Year.
She kicked off the show with Superbad's Jonah Hill in a pre-taped skit, where he tried to teach her some relaxation techniques.
He ordered her to close her eyes. When she did, he leaned in and tried to kiss her.
"What is your deal?" she shrieked.
"I care about the VMAs being good," he replied in the humorous skit.

After the segment, Spears, in sexy, sparkly halter dress, walked on stage as her hit "Baby One More Time" blared.
The audience stood and applauded.
"Thank you so much," she told the crowd. "Thank you for all the love. This is the 2008 Video Music Awards, and it starts right now."
Spears then playfully stuck out her tongue, and Rihanna hit the stage and performed her hit "Disturbia."

After a quick opening by host Russell Brand -- he urged the crowd, "Please elect Barack Obama," and called President Bush a "retarded cowboy fella" -- Spears returned to the stage again to collect her first ever "moonman" for Best Female Video for "Piece of Me."
"I'm speechless. Oh, my goodness, thank you!" an elated Spears told the crowd. "I first wanna thank God for blessing me like this. My family ... my two beautiful boys for inspiring me everyday."
She later took home the award for Best Pop Video, saying she was "speechless" and thanking her longtime manager, Larry Rudolph.
She closed out the night by winning Video of the Year.
"I'm in shock right now," she said. "I want to dedicate this to all my fans."

I certainly wish the best and most positive things for Britney. However, Britney Spears absolutely did not deserve One of those rewards. Whether she should have gotten them when she was good, is not important. She didn't do ANYTHING in 2008 to deserve a 2008 VMA award. Her video does not even exist on the top 10 countdown of TRL. So she has no popularity right now and certainly no talent right now as she used to have. This was MTV's way of paying her for all of the promotions she did for the VMA's (the commercials and the co-hosting). It was a preset contract. She won every category she was nominated for. This is ABSURD and MTV should be ashamed of themselves. (like selling your soul to the devil for more money)
I THINK BRITNEY SPEARS IS ABSOLUTELY GOING THREW HER POST-PARTUM DEPRESSION. BUT SHE'S RISING ABOVE IT, FINALLY!!! SHE'S AN EXCELLENT PERSON SHE DESERVES HER PRIVACY JUST LIKE EVRYONE ELSE. NO ONE IS PERFECT AND SHE'S AN EXAMPLE OF THAT. SHE DESERVES ALL THE GOOD THAT IS COMING TO HER. AND FUKC WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO SAY! XOXO GABBY THE KWEAN FROM LA >;D
My first time commenting, Fun!
If she won, good for her, but I think it was sympathy, she is gettin better, good for her, but I still think the girl is fake, she comes out nice, but a fake nice, and I agree that people like her who have had substance abuse are As-HOLES for putting the blame on the media, always with the middle finger(well she put it up her a_s after those awards) and the world, and she only thanks her fans so much now after all the hell, so believe it or not, yes that award goes to the Britney Fans who have kissed her AZZ over the past years, congradulations to you all, u made it happen at least Mariah shared with her fans through out all the years. SHe was crazy, but a very nice person who got GrAMMYS!!!! THat was a bigger comeback so Russell Brand better get his sh#t straight!
I dont like any of these female artist anymore, they're all stupid
And Amy Winehouse is Pretty, she's just not sexy, stop calling her ugly
Gee, first of all, I didn't see the VMAs...
Second, what is it with all the spanish hating? I'm not from the US, yet I have to know English because you people have taken over the world, so it's technically a duty for all the world's population to learn it. It's practically a universal language now, you know? So why can't you know at least a little of other languages... por favor!
Third... So what if she won? Good for her, the world is finally at peace now that she looks like good 'ole Britney again. I don't really care about her, plus we all know the VMAs aren't awarding talent - it's more like a popularity contest. Seriously, anyone who takes the VMAs seriously as a "recognition to talent" is way off. Even the Grammys are falling into this nowadays...

I'm not a britt hater but SERIOUSLY she did't deserve those awards. Speaking strictly from a music persective she hasn't done ANYTHING GREAT in the past year. I think it was crazy that she beat any of those artist especially peopl like Chris brown and Neyo who have been killing the entertainment indusrty this past year. Her music and videos have not been great in the past year and there were people that were more deserving of the awards than her. Also to even compare her to Mariah Carey who can actually sing and has been in this business for over decade is just insane!
Did anyone see some of the artist laughing at the fact that she won those awards, I mean it was really a joke and people just felt sorry for her and thats the only reason she won.

AMEN!!!! I posted something very similar but I can't find it, too lazy. I agree with you, though!

My Britney, what cankles you have!
Britney looked absolutly amazing at the VMA'S. I think this is the begining of a new life for her and her boy's. Stay on track, you are going to be better this time around than you were when you first started your carreer make it happen show the world and most importantly yourself and your 2 beautiful son's Preston and Jaden.You deserve the best and sometime's we fall and it take's a few spills to get back on our feet and you are on your way BRITNEY!!! I pray everyday for you to stay clean and sober and god is with you every step of the way just ask him for your guidence and he will guide you and never lead you astray. God Bless you sweetheart. May God Bless you and watch over you in everything you do. I am 48 years old and I have alway's been a fan and alway's will be so hold up that head of your's and keep on bringing your music and that wonderful voice God has Blessed you with. A loyal fan, LaDona
Britney haters are perfect people and make perfect decisions and overcome obstacles in their lives perfectly and have never done anything wrong? They also reserve the right to condemn whoever they want to because they are so perfect... hmmm yeah...
Can't we be happy that Britney is overcoming a lot of issues and is trying. So long as she tries and makes mends with her mistakes and corrects them im going to support her.
Britney's fanbase will continue to grow to topple some's ignorance. At the end of the day, love will prevail over hate. Its the way the world should be and the way that God wants us to be.

Mariah/ Bravo!!
In America we speak English. All immigrants before us had to learn. The spanish speaking immigrants (legal) should also learn. That should be a requirement. Just like the Italians, Germans, Chinese,Polish, etc. All groups who sacrificed to make this country great.If you love us play by our rules. It is necessary to speak other languages if we want to stay competetive. English first,please!!

Hey Dumb*** we don't have an offical language. So "our rules" are you don't have to speak a specific languange.
You conseratives a/o Republicans hate it when celebs or other people criticize Palin or McCain but love it when Jon Voight or some other celeb tears up at Obama, what hypocrites.
Brittany you look wonderful! You go girl! Good for you!
Your 2 little boys are adorable :-) Time goes by fast! Enjoy being with them! Take care and be good.
Britney looked fantastic. She looked coherent for once too. I hope with the 3 moonmen, she will get a huge pick me up and keep pushing herself to get better. I also applaud the fact that she actually took the offer and showed up to the VMA's. She could have been ashamed of herself with everything that she's gone through and her son's have gone through, she could have hid out at home, also include what happened last year at the VMA's, but she didn't, she went and faced the music. She took the chance to come back and face even more criticism. She was probably nervous, but it took guts.
As for the VMA's itself....it su.cked big time. I have never been more appalled of a host for the VMA's before. That host, with the bird's nest on top of his head, was disgraceful, and he wasn't even funny. Imagine, a guy that doesn't even come from the United States, trying to govern and discuss American politics, how pathetic. No one cares about his Queen of England, so he shouldn't concern himself with our upcoming election...he can't even vote. He bashed the Jonas Brothers for them wanting to keep their virginity...He was totally out of line when doing so. Especially talking about how they should wear their promise ring around the w*einers. I'm not a Jonas Brothers fan, but what they choose to do is their choice, and no one should be mocking that. At least we won't see them become young daddy's anytime soon. This was coming from a host that enjoyed strippers and h00kers. I couldn't even understand a word that host was saying either. The host was tacky and the VMA's were tacky.

Britney looks terrific. She has a healthy well shaped body.
And has great legs. She has the look of a professional dancer. Atheltic yet sexy. Glad to see the healthy well shaped American beauty is back. The anorexic look has to go.
You go Britney. Glad you are back!!!
BRAVO!
i hope she can take a new direction in her life from now on, that means, "responsibility".
Any pathetic bastard hater is adulterate the poll voting hundred of times in a minute.
Real result is "yes: 80".
Good god. I will try this again for the last time. I do not have a problem with Spanish itself. I was not, am not, and never will be interested in learning it and do not feel it should be forced upon me or school-aged children by the government a la Obama who thinks everyone should have to learn it. Of course it would come in handy if I run into somebody who doesn't speak/won't speak or learn English.
Depends on where you live. Frankly, I wish I had kept up with the Russian since the city I am in has a huge Russian population, also Vietnamese. People shouldn't have to take Spanish just because we have let the illegal immigrant situation get out of control. I don't care if Spanish speaking people run in the millions. They elected to come here, then buck up and learn English so you can assimilate to our culture and become AMERICAN. Be proud of your heritage etc., hold on to your native tongue, but learn ours as well! Over and out!
I'm glad to see the spotlight on britney's career (where it should be) instead of her personal life. Hopefully it will stay this wayy!! I love britney but I would be satiisfied if the media (people, E!, ok, us mag) would cover stories on her album, not who she might be dating and what shes doing tonight,ect. thats her private life, and thats how it should stay. I'm glad to see brintey has supporters (i am a supporter) and haters. I think everyone is entitled to their own opinoins and should say what they feel.
she went too much devastated those three prizes were deserved and it is showing to all that she is changing a lot of congratulations Britney!!!!
You deserve!!
I am not a Britney fan, and I can not defend parts of her life and most of her choices. I will say that after the last 1-2 years, she hit rock bottom, than dug in a little lower...but I think (or hope) she has learned a lot from it and will do better, for herself and her boys...not to mention all the young people out their who pick a celebrity and want to be them. Hopefully, this is where she does well for herself..personally, not profesionaly only.
We should all be thrilled and encourage her, damn some of you people are just cold hearted swine.
8:08 PM i hardly doubt she brought her family drama herself, her family had a long history of alcoholism, her grandmother suffered depression (and she was not famous so it's not all about that)
and as far as those accusations go, hey who the hell is perfect, the girl suffers from a mental illness and family issues, it is not her fault you fool
8:13
ARE YOU CRAZY, GUY?
YOU MUST LOOK FOR A PSYCHIATRIST. SOON.
SANTAN? WTF!!!
Those who claim success is revenge, well that is not true. Criticism overrules success. The awards from what I am gathering were RIGGED as everyone feels bad for this "Devil's Child". She sold her soul to Satan for power, wealth and fame. What Britney said in her speeches were controlled by that Larry Rudolph dude. If her father and he get out of picture again which should occur once the book on Britney gets released by her mother, watch for relapse. People who call the music fans "haters" sound like they are n*ggers and/or rednecks. The girl will have no comeback, she will die in order to come back. Those kids were born trash and will be trash until they die.
Knock off the sh*t Britney fans, we can't stand to see you people cry "she was a victim" when she brought all of her sh*t upon herself. Hell, her mother in the tell-all due to come out revealed Britney was abusing drugs and drinking before she got famous and lost her virginity at 14 to a High School senior (and not Justin like her handlers tell you fools). People have choices in life. Britney chose drugs and her brain is now paying the price. The speech sounds so staged and the awards were rigged for this teen idol turned has been. The Britney loving sheep will be saddened when this tramp's mom releases her tell-all. Then it will be a matter of time before Britney will meet her maker.
Britney looked great,but I honestly feel that the awards she got last night,were indeed,out of sympathy/rigged, what have you....
I hope she does focus on her children & stays well,but honestly,this album or the videos, were not her best. MTV made a HUGE deal about her not winning the moon man,& magically she wins 3 ?!
I'm not a Briney hater,I'm just looking at cold,hard facts. If you really look at it,I do have a point.
Stay on top of your game,Britney,take care of your babies,& you might just be alright....
A lot of people might say she won out of sympathy, but really when you think about it, it's not. It's because she really deserves it, and I don't know who else would have benefited more from those awards. It symbolizes so much for her, and signifies her ressurection so much as a professional artist, and even personally for her. 'Piece of Me' really captures the rough crap she's gone through, so I think it's perfect that it was the song to the first award she's won. It's amazing how symbolic it is when you think about it. It just proves her career is far from over, it's just started back up.
