Fans didn't have to wait long for the much-hyped Britney Spears and Madonna collaboration at the Material Girl's Dodgers Stadium show in Los Angeles on Thursday night - the pop stars teamed up just three songs in.

As expected, Spears joined Madonna for a version of Human Nature, but no one expected the pop pair to team up so early on in the evening.

Wearing black pants and a white top, Spears stunned the sold-out crowd by singing and dancing with her heroine before she was lowered beneath the stage at the end of the number as portions of the crowd cried out her name.

It was a tame stage collaboration compared to the last time Madonna performed with Spears - the pair hit the headlines back in 2003 when they locked lips during a wedding themed routine at the MTV Video Music Awards.

And the Dodgers Stadium crowd was in for a further treat - Spears' ex Justin Timberlake later appeared onstage with Madonna for an energetic version of their hit 4 Minutes.

The show was a big success, despite fears about the stage after a minor collapse on Wednesday.

Prior to Thursday night's show, Madonna said, "Even though my stage roof was damaged and some lights and effects aren't working, I want to do the show anyway because I don't want to disappoint my fans."
