Britney Spears' Famous MTV America Music Awards 2007 Performance


THIS is that famously BAD performance.

I've seen a LOT worse, I have to say!

And so she's tubby? I've seen far tubbier. In what shot. The Sun newspaper managed to take a single split-second shot that made her look overweight. Throughout most of this she looks completely normal if a little uncomfortable.

Whitney Houston - My Love Is Your Love

I got Whitney's greatest hits from the charity shop the other day... I MUST say I was shocked at how good her songs are and how I knew all of them (something I could never say about the dreadful breathless-fluttery Mariah Carey). She has topnotch choice of material I can say that .... this is my favourite Whitney song...

Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's OK normal version

...this is the straightforward mix with the manic xylophoning intro...

Whitney Houston - It's Not Right (But It's OK) thunder mix

This is the mix I was listening to at home. I love the expressions she pulls, but vocally and on the vid...

Whitney Houston - It's Not Right (Rossi hardhouse mix)

This is NOT the Whitney we all know who sang "Greatest Love of All"!

Dawn Penn - You Don't Love Me (No No No)

Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston - When You Believe

Why on earth does the great unwashed public seem generally to believe that Mariah has the better voice? Are their ears plugged up with wax. Come on listen!

Whitney Houston - Greatest Love of All

I think she has the best voice ever that I've heard live...

Mariah Carey - Vision of Love

Leona Lewis - Without You

Il Divo, Leona Lewis - Somewhere on Simon Cowell This is Your Life

Amy Winehouse - Love is a Losing Game (live)

Her celebrated performance (after all that stuff about her in the papers being a heroin and crack addict and running out of rehab etc etc etc)... at the 2007 Mercury Music Awards, London Town...

Barbra Streisand - Send in the Clowns

This is from her "One Voice" TV special charity gig in 1986

Sarah Vaughan - Send in the Clowns

This is one of my favourite Broadway Classics

Sarah Vaughan - Somewhere Over the Rainbow

From Dutch TV, 1958... this is her jazzy rendition of the famous song...

Sarah Vaughan is one of Amy Winehouse's founding influences ...

Leona Lewis - Summertime

From the X-factor 2006

Louis Walsh said this was the best version of the song he had ever heard!



Luciano Pavarotti - Una Furtiva Lagrima

Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This

Leona Lewis - All By Myself (X Factor 2006 final)

Leona Lewis - I Have Nothing (X Factor Semi Final)

Leona Lewis - I Will Always Love You

Mika - Relax

Mika - Big Girl You Are Beautiful

Hasn't this been made the "official" music of Ugly Betty?

Or something?

Mika - Grace Kelly

I really didn't know what to think of this guy when he first came out ...
But aparently he is third in that trio of Brit music stars to "break America": Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse and Mika... can anyone in America confirm whether or not this is true... has America heard of ANY of these three? If so which? And how famous actually ARE they over there?

Barry Gibb, Barbra Streisand - Guilty - 1981 Grammy Awards live performance

Gilles Vigneault - Il me reste un pays

Barbra Streisand - Hideaway

This song was written for her by Barry Gibb and I think it's one of the best original tunes she's put out for a long time...

Lily Allen - Alfie

NB this is not the same song Cilla Black sang for the 1960s film starring Michael Caine where she sounded like someone was poking her privates with the sharp end of a feather.

John Lennon - Working Class Hero

Lifted from Oceanshaman's blog

DJ Tiesto in Concert - Barber's Adagio

Barber's Adagio - Choir of Trinity College Cambridge

This is the most fantastic version of this piece I've ever heard... I had never seen this cosmos video till just now... all I can say is; watch it in the right frame of mind and it will bring shivers up your spine

See also the William Orbit/Ferry Corsten version here.

Bananarama - Venus

The original promo vid. Sound is fine but picture a bit blocky, sorry about that but it was the best youtube had!

Sinead O'Connor - If You Had a Vineyard (live)

Peter Gabriel & Sinead O'Connor - Blood of Eden

Original promo vid

Sly & Family Stone - Runnin' Away (performed by dreadful BBC Pan's People Dance Troupe)

When a guest artist couldn't perform on the show, the BBC used their very own dance troupe to make silly videos of their own. Click here for the jizz on Pan's People.

Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A Major

Pachabel - Canon

Elgar - Nimrod (Enigma Variations) - Chicago Symphony Orchestra cond. Daniel Barenboim at Carnegie Hall

I've no idea what the "enigma" of the variations is meant to be... or quite why this most English of tunes should be named after an ancient near-eastern black dictator whose mother is credited with establishing the world's original Mystery religion... but there you go

Still this is music to make English men and woman cry in times of war. Or being many thousands of miles from home... type thing

I tried to find an English rendition but nearest I could find came from CHICAGO Symphony Orchestra... Daniel Barenboim is a v famous conductor.. even I've heard of him

Here's the blurb:

Daniel Barenboim with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, opening the 1997 season at Carnegie Hall in this gorgeously performed dedication to the recently deceased Sir Georg Solti. Solti was the previous music director of the CSO for many years.

Sinead - Three Babies Original Promo Vid
