This made me cry

The Elvis imitation at the start was great, and the amount of flesh on her body is actually quite attractive. But this is really really sad.

I think physically she looks really good there, in terms of figure etc. I'm not even bothered by that wig, which doesn't look all that bad to me.

The performance, though... she looks so, so uncomfortable and I think it flags up what makes me uncomfortable about the song; this isn't what she is at the minute. The mere sentiment of wanting more, the attempt at the sort of dominatrix thing... it looks like watching some kind of deeply sleazy nightclub strip act with some sixteen year old thrown up there to be fed to the lions. Britney's always played on being innocent/not and she's still doing it there but in a sort of... uncontrolled, unintended manner.

Oh, I don't know how to explain how I feel about it. It agitates me.

My reaction and upset is way more primitive. If I'm a family member or friend, I'm worried that Britney's going to be dead in a few months, she seemed so obviously fucked up. Of course, maybe she merely had a virus, or had had trouble keeping down her food that day so was unnaturally weak, but...

Mmm, I sort of wrote all that off as nervousness on her part. I hope it was. Even so, she does seem very fucked up somewhere and it seems unlikely she's going to manage many more performances in the near future. :/
