Alright, so this isn’t the kind of music I usually write about, but it’s a big deal, so I’m writing. The new Britney Spears video, it’s not horrible. When I signed onto the i-Tunes store today to spend more money that I don’t have, the first thing I saw was BRITNEY SPEARS WORLD PREMIRE, GIMME MORE! And I said to myself, “I should probably check it out, for research purposes, eh”.
I wish I knew the timeline of this video in relation to the rest of her incidents, because Britney doesn’t look drunk, or drugged or unfit. She actually looks really good and in the moment. Was this before or after the infamous VMA performance (featured right)? Even though she looks amazing in the video and only one of her 2 characters has a bad wig, it’s still an unusual video. The beginning starts with Brit in a bad blonde wig with 2 others girls in equally faux hair. Totally normal and innocent, BUT WAIT! cut to the stripper that just came on stage, it’s Britney! The whole video is basically Britney, dancing around a stripper pole, but not like teen pop choreographed dancing. It looks like some girl you would see at a bar, dancing with a pole for the attention of the drunk Chads and Brads around her, hoping for a free drink. It had no plot, even though there were a few obvious characters. My guess is that they started with a plot, but then Britney saw the pole dancing scenes and decided to just keep those, because who really needs a plot these days?
So to sum this review up, Britney looks good, the video is shot very well, somehow this single is a hit, one bad wig, no plot, just Britney.
