The ending choreo during Toxic, when she was on the floor, was everything. So on point.

Her performance was really good. I have to be honest that I wasn't too impressed with the leaked setlist, which turned out to be true, despite "Breathe On Me" and "Touch Of My Hand" are two of my favourites songs from In the Zone along "Toxic" because it was avoiding "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!... I Did It Again" in a Greatest Hits performance. However, it was a good idea for her to perform the songs she feels more comfortable in Las Vegas, especially "I Love Rock 'N' Roll", which I honestly don't like. That said, I guess it doesn't matter as long as she enjoyed it.

It was okay. She was stiff and nervous in the beginning but she recovered.

The first 2 minutes of walking and arm waving aside, it was good. Setlist wasn't ideal, but oh well. Slave was probably the high point.

Trending on Facebook & Twitter too. So happy Britney SLAYED the 2016 Awards show. 2007 is such a distant memory thankfully.

Yeah I mean I'll give the haterz that she seemed a bit uncomfortable (that damn stupid jacket) and a bit nervous the first minute or so but once the womanizer breakdown kicked in forward, she was on POINT. there was literally nothing stiff about womanizer to the end. give me proof b/c it's just not true.

Legitimately so happy for her. To see her performing on that kind of stage with that kind of confidence again is something I was worried I would never see again but she so freaking delivered. :)

Despite the disappointment of not getting the new single just yet, this was a pretty cool night to be a Britney fan. I'm hoping we will get one or two more award show performances once new music is out, but even if we don't I'm just really happy she's still killing it.

Repeat one in Full HD.
So great to see her slaying in award show! Now the public can see that she still alive and happy! A little awkward at work bitch, but after womanizer break down she's very on point. Toxic performance is like watching 2004ney.
I'm slayed! thanks Britney!

I dont even remember her performing that good and all those hair flips i loved it. Especially during toxic she was killing it on the floor where did that come from! I heard some prerecorded vocals.

The overall performance was great, but you can't deny she's stiff in parts. It seems to me like she keeps thinking about what to do next (like, hands up, swirl around, run to other side of the stage). Her dancing used to be much smoother and 'complex' in terms of routine. Early on in her career, she alone would've owned any stage - now I was happy to have the dancers (and the outfit) distract a little.

So yeah, full honest thoughts.
This performance was probably more important to a Britney fan than a casual viewer, but honestly it wasn't bad. This wasn't what she's capable of, but given that she looked genuinely horrified during the 'Work Bitch' intro, that wasn't a huge shocker; and those nerves should've been expected. That said, once she got her footing—which imo was around the time 'I Love Rock n Roll' started and not a moment sooner, sorry—she really put on a damn good show. Especially 'Slave'. Even her "not quite" was a spectacle compared to a lot of the performances tonight. Not trying to oversell the performance with that statement, just stating a fact: it's not everyday Britney Spears performs on live TV. More like once every 9 years, and that's a big deal no matter how it turned out. More importantly though, regardless of what anyone thinks of the performance, the critics are absolutely bombarding her with praise. So, for better or worse, she still won.
Now drop the damn single and let's kick this s**t into high gear.

I hope they update toxic in Vegas with this ending routine.
