Britney Spears’ confidence continued to grow as she hit the stage for her highly anticipated performance on Simon Cowell’s X Factor.
This was the comeback kid’s first UK television performance in over four years.
While not perfect, Brit gets our award for Most Improved Performer.
Keep up it up, girl!

To me she looks like a Circus animal that has been tranquilized and is moving in slow motion on stage almost following directions!! Let’s face it, her career is finished!
Bambi performance was much more believable…
^^^Agreed, I was laughing watching this. I said that this was gonna happen, they hyped it up to much to be this big arse peformance. You could tell the judges wanted to laugh aswell, apart from Louis (whos a fool anyway). Another thing YES she was lipsynching for all you loonies out there that actually thinking this was live. I couldn’t help but notice, that it sounded identical to her other 2 peformances this week; interesting. She should feel embarrased knowing that Alexandra (one of the contestants) sang ‘toxic’ LIVE and danced at the same time. I don’t see why she just don’t fade away, spend time with the kids it’s not like she’s broke.
underwhelming… i thought the bambi performance was a little better.
I dont think anyone can expect the Britney from five years ago anymore! She needs to rebuild herself and get away from the computerized/synthasized sound! The only question is? Does she really have any talent as an artist versus a fromer performer.
Britney used to own the stage and command attention from the audience! She just seems lost now . I guess she really is washed up! I think it would help if she didn’t have such amazing dancers working with her! Is it just me or does it seem like they dance extra hard to expose her for the fraud she is! If I were a trained dancer I would find it insulting to put her in the same category as me!
She is not performing from the heart. Something is missing…..is she being pushed too much when she should be getting her brain together? Just a thought.
Wow I disagree with the comments here. I think she looked like she was having a lot of fun and her confidence is definately growing every time she steps on stage. Of course it’s going to take her a little while to get a feel for it again, performing in front of a very critical audience is very different to dance rehersal. She looks amazing and she looks straight out of 2002 again! Congratulations to her!
I still think it’s pitiful that she’s got to rely on sex to sell her music. If she were really talented, she could come on stage and dance and sing with clothes on and still be applauded. I find it pitiful that she feels she’s got to bare as much of her body as she does in order to feel worthy of being on stage. She needs more self-esteem and a better vocal coach.
Although this is now where near what the Britney America first knew, one has to acknowledge that this girl has been through a lot. She looks a little stiff and her dance moves were minimal and easy. I am routing for her to get back to where she was. She just needs to get re-familiarized with performing in front of large audiences. Little by little her confidence will grow and maybe Britney can regain her crown of Pop Princess.
Yeah but we all know you lick her arse Stephi. If you was a true fan you would admit that the peformance was crap. Don’t use excuses for her, it’s just making her sound worse.
WHAT DAMN DANCING.. AND FUN WHAT DAMN FUN THIS IS NOT A CIRCUS ACT AND IS SHE A CLOWN.. FUN PLEASE SHE IS SO OVER WELL TO ME SHE NEVER WAS BUT THATS A DIFFERENT STORY.. UGH SHE NEEDS TO GO HOME AND TAKE CARE OF HER KIDS WHO WE ALL CAN SEE SURELY HAVE PROBLEMS… THAS WHAT SHE GETS TRYING TO TALK ABOUT SHAR JACKSON.. HONEY SHARS KIDS ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STEAL A MAN AND TALK ABOUT SHARS KIDS WONT GET ANY OF HER MONEY..BITC@ PLEASE!
omg!!!!! look at her dancing skills and look at Beyonce’s performance, Britney has no movement at all that is not dancing she is clearly walking around the chair and ciara’s dancing skills are the best she can not compare to those too at all and neither to J anet J even though Janet is 40 she can dance her butt, Brit its time to give it up!
please… Tina Turner is damn near 70 and she got up on stage and did almost as good as she did younger or course she had less energy but ole girls legs was on time and she still had it after all these years, one thing if you never had it how the hell you gonna get it back pleaseeee!!!!!?????
you are suppose to have fun when you are prasticing not when you are performing , you are suppose to make the crowd feel it and uh um, all i saw was walking around and like she was waiting for instructions please lou ann you are so right.
sorry typo.. thats practising!
If you have nothing good to say, why say it at all?
i agree with emma
if you really dont care about britney and think shes a waste then why waste your time saying things about her. who cares if she was lipsynching she has to move alot and if her fans dont care , get a grip & how do her kids “surely” have something wrong with them. just go hide in a hole nobody cares what you think shes making her millions what are you doing? slaggin her off because you have nothing else better to do.
Boring. She can’t sing, she can dance around the stage all she wants but she can’t sing. She’s had that baby doll voice for too long, it just isn’t singing in my book. Even the Britney of 5 years ago was awful.
I felt it truly…sad. She was once a young women that inspired young girls, a role model if you must. But her image and songs are constantly taking a turn for the worse. People are not getting past the stories and media frenzy connected with her and I cant help but feel she should get a bit of common sense and bow out before yet another thing arises that pulls her career apart and she has to yet again ‘re-invent’ herself.
This performance shows this clearly. At times she seems lifeless, almost robotic, as if she is on auto pilot with the terrible mime job (then again, that is something she has always and will always be bad at) and over the top performance…it felt almost like car crash TV. And the short interview with Dermot at the end was the cherry on top with answers that had little if any relevance to the questions being asked (she was only asked about 2 questions). For goodness sake, Britney! Its one thing to subject your fellow Americans to your delusions but keep us that live on this side of the ocean out of it, please!
