Even though I wish she sang more of "Woohoo" (like the choreography by the way), it still was a pretty entertaining and satisfying performance for me. I'm glad the audience reacted to it well.
I don't care about her lipping unless the song is a ballad.
"The VMAs were so . . . so vanilla,” she
says. “So safe, so predictable, no edge. Apart from Madonna, Mary J.
Blige and myself, I cannot think of another female performer who had her
mic switched on. That is very disappointing to me. I agreed to do it in
the first place only because Madonna had told me that it was mandatory
to sing live.”
Something palpable happens to Aguilera when she
talks about Spears. She loses eye contact, focuses on her cuticles and
grows visibly uncomfortable, as if wary of saying too much. But her
dissatisfaction clearly needs a voice, and she duly gives it one. She
suggests that although Spears sang live during rehearsals, when the show
went on the air, she was lip-syncing.
“Who knows what happened,
exactly,” Aguilera says, sighing. “She was supposed to, but somewhere
along the line. . . . I don’t know. Maybe some money changed hands under
the table? . . . ” She trails off awkwardly, then changes tack. “I’d
much rather just wash my hands of the whole nonsense, actually. These
people aren’t artists, they’re just performers — fake and superficial,
like the entire event. I’m very disappointed with MTV. Just look at the
way they handled the kiss.”
God I forgot about that. I love how she is literally saying "I only agreed to do it because I wanted to show up Britney, and I'm not happy that Britney showed me up because no one even showed my kiss"

And her naming MJB - did she not see the look of distain MJB gave her on that kiss?
