Britney’s supposed comeback didn’t include a much-anticipated surprise performance. It didn’t include a shocking kiss or a dance with a boa constrictor. Instead, Britney’s “opening” included four sentences said with extreme nervousness.
‘Thank you so much. Thank you for all the love. I’m here tonight to celebrate a very important birthday, the 25th anniversary of the VMAs. This is the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and it starts right now.’
And, I suppose you could call Britney winning the first three moon men of her career a “comeback” as well. Britney won all three moon men for her video “Piece Of Me”.
Her acceptance speeches were definitely rehearsed as all three times she basically said the exact same thing….short and sweet, to the point.
‘Wow, thank you, I’m in shock right now. I was not expecting this,’ she said at the end of the night as she accepted the statue for video of the year.
‘This is such an honor to have this award right now.’
Brit Brit politely thanked God, her children and her record label before quickly leaving the stage.

I’m not so sure Britney deserved THREE moon men for “Piece Of Me”. I mean the video isn’t any better than her other videos. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that these were “fixed” wins…pity votes. Call me crazy, but I STILL think she should have performed.
