Rihanna is the new Britney.

So I watched Britney's performance on the 2007 VMAs. It was difficult to find a video that was actually still on the internet and not taken down by Viacom, however leave it to the Spanish websites to have the pirated material.

There are a few things I want to say about her performance. First, she is NOT fat. She does, however, look as though she has birthed two children... not very becoming of a pop star. Second, how sad was it that she couldnt even dance? My friend Natasha pointed out that in Britney's Oops I did it again performance of 2000 she was running around shakin it and workin it like the true super pop star she was. But now its just not the same. Third, my favorite part of the video was that Diddy, 50 Cent, Kid Rock, and Rihanna are dumbfounded by her lackluster performance. Rihanna actually laughed at her. I swear to god, its in the video.

Now this brings me to my next point, I am currently obsessed with not only Gimme More (FANTASTIC song with a horrible performer attached to it) but also Shut Up and Drive by little miss sunshine, Rihanna. She has 2 singles out right now - Umbrella and the aforementioned work of genius. This is how you know they are ballin as a pop star. And given Rihanna's success combined with her world wide televised show of laughing in Britney's face, I say Rihanna has got all the makings of being the new "it" pop star.

Not much else is new now... I move into my piso on Thursday though, thats exciting. Hasta luego!
