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've just posted about this. I don't really think it was all that bad. I think her demeanor and lazy/loose attitude was entirely matched to the song, and that it was an unfortunate choice, because everyone expects Britney to be highly charged and a highly technical dancer. I don't think it was great, but I don't think it was awful either. I just don't think it was worth remarking on either way. I can't believe the amount of press attention it's got; it was an entirely forgettable performance.

The press attention I've seen (in the shitty London free papers) really seems like it's been decided that Britney is the ultimate sacrifical lamb for that section of the media that has a totally contradictory attitude towards pop music, fame, sex and women. It's like someone decided: she's going to be the one we really go for, and now is going to be the time when we really go for her. 'S fucked up.

I'm not sure it is so much a "section" as "the entirety", now.
