That was my first job with her and how I got that was the choreographer Wade Robson was her choreographer at the time, and my sister and I used to train in his dance class. My first job with her was her first VMA performance in '99. She spoke to Broadly about the behind the scenes of Spears's infamous VMA appearances.īroadly: When did you first perform with Spears?Īminah Abdul Jillil: It would be '99. She has also worked with Janet Jackson and as Spears's background dancer on her 2001 Dream Within a Dream Tour, 2004 promo portion of the Onyx Hotel Tour, and the 2012 Femme Fatale Tour.
Backup dancer Aminah Abdul Jillil performed with Spears during three of her VMA showcases: her first VMA in 1999 with NSYNC, her "I'm a Slave 4 U" snake dance in 2001, and the 2007 "Gimme More" debacle.
But fans still obsess over her VMA performances of the past decade, wondering what happened behind the scenes. Spears rebounded, releasing several commercially successful albums and a Las Vegas residency show that made her one of the highest paid musicians of the past two years without releasing an album.

Critics considered her career dead, but the fiasco launched Spears's most critically-acclaimed album, Blackout. At her last VMA performance in 2007, Spears forgot to lip-synch parts of "Gimme More." MTV had billed the show as a Spears comeback after four years away from the music industry that included marrying a white rapper, two rehab stints, shaving her head, and many bad wigs. We then flash back to the funeral … and somehow we realize there no one in the coffin. to the point where eventually we think Britney dies … She's tied to a chair with her arms behind her back while girl -who we only see from the back but is assumed to be another Britney- is roughing her up, slapping her. Suddenly the on stage Britney is kidnapped and ends up in a dark room with bad pipes and leaking water. which is the main dance scene …Then the Britney walking through the hallways gets pushed into the wall by the guy who was at the funeral … but when he turns the girl around its not Britney … and now that Britney is lost among dancers in the crowded club … she starts to move through them … while the other Britney is on the stage dancing with the dancers … Then we see in the distance another white and red dressed brighter Britney dancing with dancers on a stage. The funeral Britney who has now changed into another dark outfit continues her walk down the hallway, then stops and looks around. and then the camera zooms to one side where there is a Britney dancing on a pole. She starts walking down a hallway and there are people kissing and dancing on both sides. and begins walking down and then opens a deserted door. and he starts to follow her … she jumps into her car drives off. …She starts moving a little faster, hiding even a little. hoping no one sees her, but makes eye contact with a guy in the funeral She slowly starts to move away from the crowd. and everyone is looking down, except Britney who's looking around through her veil at the people …She then looks into the camera and says “Its Britney Bitch”. The original plot of Britney Spears' 'Gimme More' video is believed to be as follows (via the Skadoll Tumblr blog). "I have gotten to work on David LaChapelle and Lady Gaga sets with her." She has opened a lot of doors for me," Sky explained. "I have had the great pleasure of working with Sharon Gault since 2007.
However, it wasn't all bad - Sky went on to add: "It was an honest and playful performance during a very rough time and I am proud of how gorgeous she was."Īs well as Britney herself, Sky also worked with Lady Gaga herself, taking care of the singer's makeup for both the video for 'LoveGame' and for 'Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)'.
