Britney Spears pays tribute to Michael Jackson and Madonna in 2011 MTV Video Music Awards will be held in a live telecast at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on August 28.
Britney Spears is praising the legends in a new commercial for 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. A poster bearing terms “Hit Me 1 More X”, “Billy Jean” and “Like a Virgin” is seen hanging on the wall of a club, where she is DJing and partying all night long. They are the people I have grown up listening to and totally inspire, she says.
In addition to paying homage to Michael Jackson and Madonna, she also salutes Janet Jackson. Her song “Rhythm Nation” is one of the back sounds in the ad dubbed “A Tribute to Britney Spears”. Those classics are mashed-up with Britney’s well-liked singles “I Wanna Go” and “Slave 4 U”.
The video opens with her standing and writing down number “7″ on it. “I am representing how many albums I have done,” she told. I am walking down a hallway and I am seeing memorabilia of all my performances that I have done in the past. All my dancers are dressed up in my old dresses, which it is really cool.”
This season, Britney receives two nominees at the VMAs, thanks to her “Till the World Ends” music video. She is vying for Best Pop Video over Katy Perry, Adele, Pitbull and Bruno Mars is competing for Best Choreography over Bruno, LMFAO Beyonce Knowles and Lady GaGa.
