#6. Britney's Zombie Shuffle
It was supposed to be her comeback. But Britney Spears' lethargic performance at the
MTV Video Music Awards in September was just plain excruciating. Sporting an
ill-fitting wig, the pop phenomenon — who in February had shaved her head in
between stints at rehab facilities — barely moved her hips or her lips
onstage. The awards-show debacle landed her a spot on the cover of nearly
every tabloid that week. And critics delighted in noting that the song she lifelessly stumbled through was titled
Gimme More.
