Britney Video Breakdown:
So I know there is a lot of buzz today about Brit's video premiere last night, from the bad, the good and the plain mean.
Was HIAM the BEST Britney video of all time? Probally not. Was it the most technologically foward? Id say so. The graphics and use of dancers, lighting, props was extreme, bold and left an impression. The concept (though Britney has done similar before) centered on the many sides of Britney, that at times, are at war with one and other. As well as being at war with the media. Many say, "Weve seen the whole behind the lens, britney hiding from the pap's before" But this is where I interpret a difference in HIAM's concept. I found there to be 3 sides of britney shown; the larger then life (depicted with a wedding gown over sized Spears at the center of a camera mob;) The feisty no holding back Britney depicted with the red sequin top and red lips, talking into the mic's; and the last Britney wearing something purple, which Im guessing represents the hell ridden Britney that still remains under the care of her father.
The fight scene between the last two took place as the larger then life Britney, exploded with color all over the montitors showing her old videos and news paper clips. At the end of this scene, it looked like all the Brit's had canceled themselves out until the screen cap of Britney's toes starting to wiggle and a 4th Britney appeared to
the audience. This last Britney I would say represented our girl at this present state; and taking her throne. Her best look, wearing a black leather, lace, corset, strapless dress-thing, with gold emelishment, and a hot gold necklace. When this Britney appeared we got to see her longest dance number of the video (which was rumored to be a huge dance production) and yet was edited with so many cuts along with the beat, that we never got to see what we all wanted; Britney Spears, Princess of Pop, taking us back to the preformer we fell in love with, and then stoned. It didnt help to stop the rumors of her using a body double for dance routines etc, a case that her team strongly deneys except when Britney had to fight herself; in which case, yes a double was used.
Regarless we must remember a few things:
1. Britney's Knee is no more. She has never danced the same since she blew it out and had surgery during her onyx hotel tour, or making her "outrageous" video with Snoop Dog. She has always suffered with her knee and Im guessing after a few world tours; her pop leg became her damn stank leg.
2.Britneys been through hell and back. Know thats a truth. And shes still here, still standing, working hard, and making amazing videos and music. This video has set the bar for the album and in future videos I hope to see more of britneys inner being, personal feelings and continueous dance work. (Though I am sure I wont get much insight into Britney, since she never interview or speaks to the press - but lets hope the girl can get some of her rights back by proving shes pulled it together.)
For all the Haters:
1. Britney looked great, Finally a weave worth weaving! Britney I hope you took those home with you. The face shots of her in the giant wedding dress, showed her true natural beauty. A mix between her "Everytime" And "Lucky" videos.
2. Britneys body looked great, shes obviously been working out and staying in shape.
3.Britney is Britney; hate on hater, hate away.....this is the princess of pop, love her, hate her....either way youll be watching her.
AND LASTLY
Britney remains true to herself:
1. Britney wants to be a bride and is gonna wear a wedding gown as many times as possible in her life.
2.Britney loves to play multiple Britneys. Ususally with different color hair. So I am sure we will be seeing this theme in future videos.
3. Britney's look aint changing. She invented short shorts, with belly shirts and she will rep. that to her dying day.
So with that I give HIAM, 4 1/2 stars because...she brought it, she looked great, she upp'd her video bar, and shes dancing the best that she can.
Holler at your grl Brit.
