Live Performances
At a press conference in Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, Aguilera confirmed that she would be performing at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. She discussed allowing her newly born son, Max, to watch the performance, saying, "This will be his first time watching me perform on television, but only for a little while because he's not really allowed to watch television yet. I'll make an exception for the VMAs." Aguilera discussed the concept of the performance beforehand saying "You're going to get a first look and a first listen at my new image and my new sound". "The last album, the style and sound was about vintage glam — this one is all about the future", she concluded. The performance began with Aguilera standing in a tower of neon-lit boxes, singing "Genie 2.0" while wearing second-skin leather catsuit accessorized with silver armbands, a black-leather cat mask, black cape and platinum-blond hair. Then, she began performing "Keeps Gettin' Better". Nick Levine from Digital Spy called the performance "sassy, slickly-choreographed".

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performances:
“This little upset across the water doesn’t mean anything. Threatened men live long and threatened wars never occur.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
