It's crazy how fast she evolved as a performer during her debut era. Like this was just a few months later....

This when she really Started studying more and more Janet Jackson performances to perfect her craft

she was stiff scared of the wig coming off

To be fair, she’s singing live in the wig perfo, so she had to prioritize vocals over movement. In the ema perfo she’s fully lipsyncing (pre recorded vocals) so she has more freedom to move. I’d say she was just as good a performer in both, just different production value

I think for the early performances she was so still and half assed steps to either focus on singing or to make the illusion of singing live more convincing when lipping, which is bullshit because she should've been busting her ass giving us the full choreo 😭😭

The first one was for a TV show..

It's not really about that, during the performance on The View she was recovering from knee surgery

"That fuckass synthetic wig" has ended me 🤣 🤣 🤣

This is one of my favorite performances from her

Early bomt performances are kinda ass omg thank god she improved

no like seriously imagine if she stayed like that 😭 they’re kinda cooking her in the quotes and im here like

like she really had to grow in confidence to truly be THEE Britney Spears bc for most of 1999 she was kinda shit

@breatheonmiley Most of 1999 she was shit??? What??? 💀💀💀

@breatheonmiley okay I’m kinda exaggerating but it wasn’t oops VMAs or stronger AMAs or literally anything from Britney era or itz era

@breatheonmiley I mean she was 17 years old..

@breatheonmiley omg let’s not take everything so literal me and emailmypussy were just being trolls

I NEED THAT OUTFIT

I mean, true, but she wasn't gonna put on the same kind of show for EMAs as on The View 😆

She was HUNGRY

This performance y very underrated. One of her best ever.

Ok that backflip at the end scared me a bit. I’m glad she landed ok

hated those versions lol

I love this cabaret performance of Baby.

She rode that Great Depression style of BOMT much further than it needed to go no shade

Did everyone forget that she couldn’t dance because of her surgery?
