Overprotected - Live Performances

Live Performances

"Overprotected" was performed for the first time on 2001's Dream Within a Dream Tour. During the performance, Spears was dancing to the song surrounded by laser lights. The video backdrop showed images of a bald Spears, with her hair growing as the song went along. However, the backdrop was later removed for unknown reasons. After the announcement of the 2002 extension of the tour, some changes were made to the setlist, replacing the original mix of the song by "The Darkchild Remix". The remix was later performed on The Onyx Hotel Tour (2004), during the opening act, right after the performance of "Toxic" (2003). Spears' debut film, Crossroads (2002), features a performance of the song during the credits. Britney also performed the song twice on British TV programme Top of the Pops, on the German television Viva Interaktiv and in Euro Disney. This latest performance was included on the Special Limited Edition DVD of the album Britney under the name "Lights, Camera, Action".
