Britney is listed in second place on the list of "Not That Innocent: The Most Schocking Moments When Good Singer Went Bad" by VH1

 

2. Britney Spears Does It Again At The 2000 VMAs

We Knew Her When…

 

 

 

Britney Spears had been in the public eye since a young appearance on Star Search in 1991, and most notably in Disney’s The Mickey Mouse Club (along side Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, and even Christina Aguilera). But she became lodged in popular consciousness forever while dancing by her locker in a (slightly altered) Catholic school uniform. 1998′s “…Baby One More Time” sewed the seeds of her legend, but at the time it made her a media darling. She famously announced that she would remain a virgin until marriage, presumably to her old friend and now flame, Justin Timberlake. They even had his ‘n’ hers denim suits made up, y’all!

She weathered her fair share of controversies in 1999 and early 2000s, including a racy Rolling Stone cover and boob job rumors, but it was fairly standard issue for a teen pop star in the spotlight. By May 2000, Britney-Mania had reached a fever pitch with the release of her second album, Oops!…I Did It Again. A change was in the air…

 

But Then:

 

 

 

Eager and anxious to begin ditching her bubble-gum sound and image, Britney used her appearance at the September 7th awards extravaganza to shake things up. After slinking her way through a cover the Rolling Stone‘s “Satisfaction”, she tore off her MJ-esque suit to reveal a flesh colored body suit that scanned across TV cameras as nude, causing home audience (or at least 12-year-old us) to momentarily wonder if Brit had just ripped her clothes off on national television!

 

Obviously she definitely didn’t, but it was still a formative TV moment (for us, at least). She seamlessly shifted into “Oops!…I Did It Again,” dancing her heart out like she was born to do. As she purred the final “I’m not that innocent” to close the song, you knew she wasn’t kidding. Many saw it as the begins of her adult career as a more provocative entertainer, and certainly her tabloid headlines got much more salacious soon after. For all of the controversy and personal battles that followed, this performance remains one of her best.

A countless legend

[LiaLovesGodney]

[GimmeOnyx]

Oh the days when there was shock factor with stripping, near nude outfits and nudity in music vids.

 

Now it's just like "oh the VMA's let Miley get completely naked this time....I wonder if Revenge is on..."

[GimmeOnyx]

From this to this :dealwitit: to this to this to this :gimmemore: to this to this to this .

I thought about that gif, but then I remembered there isn't an emote for that!!

[killthelights]

yassss one of the best pop performances by any artist of all time IMO

[MadDennis]

She definately deserved the 1st position.

[heather]

that oops performance is complete perfection

[Maria Spears]

Im not going to look at that link because if xtina is #1 is a flop list 

[MIKE]

To say at the time that the only people who thought she had ripped her clothes off were twelve year olds is hilarious. I specifically remember a woman covering the vmas FOR VH1 that year said that it looked like she was naked from where she was sitting!

[JoshLee]

She definately deserved the 1st position.

[Babydoll]

Christina at #1 She didn't turn sexy she turned into a vulgar girl back then

[PopMusicJunkie]

It was a time to be alive, I remember where I was and my reaction the day after, truly an iconic moment.   This performance forever solidified her as a dynamic performer and birthed one of her most iconic looks.  

Okay @ VH1, you name the article after a lyric from her song yet stick her at #2?  

[MissBuffySpears]

For real! When people think of "good pop singer turned sexy & not that innocent" it's always Britney. #1 she should be.
