How can anyone actually complain about the set-list? Those are no doubt the best moments from the Vegas show, we'll have the Womanizer breakdown, the Toxic hair whipping on the floor, Touch of My Hand cartwheel/flip thing, Breathe on Me pure sexney, Slave 4 U original choreography, Work Bitch fierce energy and Rock n Roll fun. I think the whole point of this performance is to show everyone that Britney the PERFORMER is back and ready to slay. I see on Exhale and here there's only a negative reaction to it and I really don't understand it. The general public needs to see her kill it and so she picked the songs that she loves to perform that have great moments so that people will praise her and it'll set the good graces up for when her single releases.

How can anyone actually complain about the set-list? For me, personally, it would be a great set if this were launching her comeback in 2007 when being reminded that she was a good performer was essential. Right now, more than anything the public needs to be reminded that she has hits—big ones—and the above is snubbing some her biggest. 'Slave' and 'Toxic' are the only two on there; 'Womanizer' is debatable, but I'm more inclined to say it's a nonevent. Totally ignoring 'Oops' and 'Baby' is a mistake, even worse than the inclusion of 'I Love Rock n' Roll'. It's also not like she'll have the allotted time to perform all of these to full potential either. Maybe I'm still pressed about the single "delay", idk.

I'm more pressed about the state of that Black's ashy finger and poorly attended fingernail.

Bad news. Her single was "delayed". Plot twist: It never existed to start with and Robin Leach is laughing at you while eating a meal Pulse can never afford. That setlist is dumb as hell if it's real (which I'm really doubting as well). If you're getting a career achievement award, you're supposed to showcase the hits that career was built on. Not album tracks from well over a decade ago and a cover nobody cared about to begin with. Slave and Toxic are the only essentials there. A few of the others could be excused if stuff like BOMT and something from Femme Fatale (you know, the most recent wide success she had) was included, but not next to what's listed. Of course, the dream is that Gimme More would make it in, but I don't think she's ever going to take that to an awards show again.

I feel like people are missing the point. She's not getting that award because of Baby One More Time or Oops I Did It Again. She's getting the award because of a combination of her chart success, cultural impact and status as an icon and sex symbol. I think that set list will allow her to remind people exactly why and how she achieved the well deserved status that she currently enjoys and is being honored for. Granted, Gimme More is the glaring omission using that criteria. If you disagree with that concept, at least lets level with the fact that the songs she chose are the most visually interesting and entertaining of everything she performs in her Vegas show. I'm guessing many of the best elements get pulled from each and if that goes off like it does every other night she does this, the general public will eat it up.
Plus, BOM and TOMH potentially getting their moment to truly shine is incredibly exciting to me! Those songs are the essence of why I Stan for Britney.

I don't care what the set list is as long as she kills it-- and she better add/fix some of that Vegas choreography.

FROM BILLBOARD.COM:
Britney's Big Opener
Bracco tells Billboard that Spears, who will receive the Billboard Millennium Award, is slated to open the telecast with a "kick-ass medley" of her greatest hits. "It's going to be her with a couple dozen dancers, plus costume changes, and she's going to walk through her catalog," he says. Don't expect any star cameos, though. "When you have Britney, you don't need anyone else," says Bracco.
Not sure how to link stuff, I'm currently at work on my phone so forgive me.. but if she can pull of some sick choreo and costumes changes in the time on stage and kills it, I think I'll just be dead, on the floor, mopping up my tears

Hrm, it would be very, very weird for nothing from Femme Fatale or her first two albums to be included. I love her including some non-singles and not-huge hits like "Breathe on Me", "Touch of My Hand", and ILRR, but 3 of that type and neither of her two most iconic songs? I really question the veracity of that setlist leak.
(But maybe the intro has little bits from BOMT/Oops/TTWE or something like that?)

For me, personally, it would be a great set if this were launching her comeback in 2007 when being reminded that she was a good performer was essential Respectfully disagree. She never gained the performance respect back that she had before the meltdown. The general public sees her as a novelty act, that had a ton of hits, but is past her prime and not the performer she was when she was young. She knocks it out of the park in some of her Vegas performances, but she hasn't shown that to the world on a large scale in too long. I truly believe she's looking to retire soon, and achieving the respect she once had as a performer, would do more for her legacy than reminding people that she sings "Baby One More Time". If those are the songs that she performes best, and has the best choreography, by all means, perform those.

She never gained the performance respect back that she had before the meltdown. Well, yeah. That's why I said the setlist would've been appropriate in 2007, when her hits were more immediately memorable while her performing skills took backseat to that meltdown you mentioned. She could've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids. Right now, the year is 2016 and she's lost a lot of of momentum. Yeah, you can remind people you can perform. Phenomenal. I'm 100% behind you. You can also remind them that you have hits and, while you're at it, an actual legacy. You can do all of those things at once, too. I'm not going to settle for Britney Spears the performer. I don't stan for that s**t. I stan for Britney Spears, the ICON. Like I love and support this woman but if this is real, it's another frustrating decision. I'm still going to scream, cry, shave my head, and go hard in the paint for her come Sunday, but it's still disappointing.

I think that's a bit unfounded to say the entire general public sees her as a novelty act. Pretty ridiculous statement.

IDK let's be real it's not like people don't know Britney has hits lol. And when they give her an award I'm sure there will be some video with all of her hits mixed into it anyway. IDRC about the setlist. People will just assume that BOM/TOMH are new songs and that she didn't have time to fit all her hits into one medley. When she receives the award they will show something that commemorates her career so she WILL be solidifying everything into one night.

I don't care what the set list is as long as she kills it-- and she better add/fix some of that Vegas choreography. Well, if that set list is correct, she's using the best choreo from Vegas. Work Bitch, TOMH, Breathe on Me, Slave 4 U, Toxic, and Womanizer arguably have some of the best routines.

I honestly think, and felt this even before it was announced the single would be delayed, that it's wise not to introduce it with this performance. The focus of the performance is this award she's receiving for her past career accomplishments, so the new single could easily be overshadowed by that, but even more so by the million other performers and whatever stuff they're promoting.

That would make one big epic performance.

Today's the big day! Can someone get the BBMA 2016 thread started? I haven't been able to find one and I think it's fitting that a Britney Stan gets it.

that can't be real can it? touch my hand and breath on me but no Baby... I wonder if it is real if they'll have all the props from the Vegas show, like the guitar for "Rock N Roll" .. and I was never a fan of Womanizer live, is the Vegas routine any better than the other tours? U were spot on.
