The story of the remembered kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears and the indelible reaction of Justin Timberlake
During a presentation of the MTV Awards in 2003, the two queens of pop shocked the world with a memorable kiss.
In 2003, during a presentation ceremony for the MTV Awards in the United States, there was one of the most memorable and commented moments in the history of pop in the new millennium.
During the presentation of the singers Madonna, Britney Spears and Cristina Aguilera, the queen of pop of the 80s and 90s surprised the public who was in the place - and incidentally to the entire world audience - after stamping a passionate kiss Lesbian to Britney Spears, to then do the same with her other stage partner, Christina Aguilera. The scene would be frankly unforgettable because apart from the fact that the kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears surprised everyone and aroused reactions in the audience, the cameras that broadcast the event had the right to show immediately to the public, just after the surprise kiss between the two queens of pop, the face of a disconcerted Justin Timberlake, who at that time was a partner of Britney.
Although Madonna during that remembered performance kissed both Britney Spears and Cristina Aguilera on the mouth, it was the kiss between the first two that monopolized the covers of the press of shows around the world. The reason? According to Cristina Aguilera, this was due to the fact that just when Madonna, after kissing Britney Spears, turned to kiss her, the cameras showed Justin Timberlake, taking the scene away from the limelight: “They turned the camera to get Justin's reaction. . It was an image of Justin's reaction. They were a couple, but it was still kind of low. I definitely saw the papers the next day, where only Madonna and Britney were listed, and I was like, 'Oh, I guess I was left out of that,' but it was still good sharing the stage with the two of them that night. "
Be that as it may, the kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears would become one of the great moments of world pop in the new millennium, although more than 10 years later Larry Rudolph, the former manager of Britney Spears, would reveal that the famous kiss that took place in the middle of the show of the 2003 MTV awards (Video Music Awards) was not so passionate and even less a spontaneous lesbian outburst by the singers, but a very well planned publicity stunt that had the expected media results.
“It was really a great moment what happened there. Madonna had been very insistent at rehearsals and she told me every day that Britney had to be there at 10 o'clock and I had to make sure of it. After the presentation, which sparked all kinds of comments, I was in the elevator. She went straight to me, she didn't look at anyone else. She put her arms around my waist, gave me a big kiss on the mouth and said, 'See Larry', it was all worth it. " And he was right, the next day, everyone was talking about it. " In 2012, Madonna would relive again the whole episode that occurred at the MTV Awards gala in 2003, when she posted the following funny comment on her Twitter account: “@britneyspears please come on stage and kiss me again . I miss you! ”! ("Britney Spears, Please come on stage and kiss me again. I miss you"). Video: Madonna and Britney Spears kiss at the 2003 MTV Awards and Justin Timberlake's reaction:
