Performance[]

The 2003 MTV Video Awards performance opened with Spears and Aguilera, dressed in bridal gowns of Madonna's 1984 MTV VMAs performance of "Like a Virgin".

Spears emerged from a giant wedding cake, singing the first verses of "Like a Virgin" and then Aguilera joined her shortly.

Then, Madonna entered dressed in a sleek black tuxedo and a top hat, singing the lyrics of "Hollywood", which is a single from her album, American Life.

The performance's most shocking moment came when Madonna kissed Spears and Aguilera. This act dominated media coverage. Spears's kiss received the most attention, partially because the camera cut away during Aguilera's kiss to show Justin Timberlake's reaction in the audience.

After that, Missy Elliott joins the stage, performing her hit "Work It".

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1: Britney Spears]
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was until I found you
I was beat, incomplete, I'd been had
I was sad and blue, but you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel shiny and new, oh

[Chorus: Christina Aguilera, Britney & Christina]
Like a virgin (Ooh)
Touched for the very first time (Oh)
Like a virgin, ha!
When your heart beats next to mine
Oh, oh, yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

[Hollywood]

[Verse 1: Madonna]
Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good?

Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good?

[Break: Madonna]
(Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody)
(Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody)
(Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody)
(Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody)

[Chorus: Madonna, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera]
Shine your light now
This time it's got to be good
You get it right now, yeah
'Cause you're in Hollywood, you're in Hollywood

[Verse 2: Madonna]
Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good?
Everybody comes to Hollywood

[Verse 3: Missy Elliott, Madonna, Britney, Christina, Madonna]
Yo, yo, yo, who that be?
(Missy Elliott, M-I-C)
I works it and I works it
Can I flip my thing and reverse it?
Come on, go, go head, go, go head
I works it and I works it
Can I flip my thing and reverse it?
Come on, go, go head, go, go head
Party people, we'll show you how to work that
Where you at, Madonna?
Trip the station, change the channel

[Break: Madonna]
(Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody)
(Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody)
(Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody)
(Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody)

'[Chorus: Madonna, Madonna, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera]
Hollywood, Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good?
Hollywood, Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good?
Hollywood, Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good
Hollywood, Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good

[Outro: Madonna, Britney, Christina, Missy]
Music stations always play the same songs
We're bored with the concepts of right and wrong
(Trip the station, change the channel)
