Okay I was going to try and hold off until tomorrow but I needed to get this out of my system or I'd shit my pants. So I was watching one of my favorite YouTuber's "JPMETZ" and she was complainig about the new Britney Spears video, so I decided to go and watch it for myself and oh my god. Now, I'm not hatin' on Britney Spears, alright, so please do not bitch me out over this or threaten my family. She's a great singer and I have "Hold It Against Me" on my Ipod. I ACTUALLY PAID FOR IT ON ITUNES. That should mean alot.
The video though? three words: What. The. Fuck. It starts off with some meteor or whatever hitting the earth and sending this strange flashing lights all over the damn place. I'm not sure what the fuck this has to do with any of the rest of the video but then again I'm not really sure how any parts of this music video have to do with any of the other parts or with the song itself.
Next complaint? There are friggin product placements all fucking over the place, they cut scene to show you EXACTLY what company's make up she's putting on her face and EXACTLY what perfume she spritzes on herself before she completely FAILS at dancing.
Now, once again, I'm not hating on your "gurllll". Watch the fucking video, she walks in place a few times, moves her arms awkwardly, attempts to do a few pelvic thrusts, Britney, honey, I'm sorry. It doesn't work.
They then cut scene to her in this room/tower of tvs thing and she's in a wedding dress. And all the tvs are playing her old music videos. Again...wtf does this have to do with wanting to bang someone? I don't have the slightest idea. And she starts to float...because normal people do that. Later on in this little room, a bunch of creepy skinny ass balerina men or whatever the fuck they are supposed to be like come out of her dress, and they started dancing around her...and they have their hoods pulled over their eyes, frankly, it just creeped me the fuck out and that's all I've got to say about that.
Then at like 2:45 into the song, she's in that same fucking room again. And the smile on her face right at that part is the creepiest fucking thing I have ever witnessed in my life. I'm pretty sure I shit my pants. like 900 percent sure.
Then there's this part where there is two of her in like friggin salsa dances beating the shit out of each other.... okay? Wtf.
Regardless, I think I've made my point and yes, Britney, I will hold this movie against you.
If you just don't believe me and think I'm bashing her. Watch the movie yourself. LOOK I put it right down thurrr for you.
Just watched the video... the only thing going through my head was "Lady Gaga... no... Britney Spears... no... Lady Gaga... No, it said Britney Spears... But... she's singing and dancing and making videos that look and sound like Lady Gaga!"
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I don't care if people bash me for that, because I miss Old Britney. You know, back before her mental breakdown and marriage and divorce to Douchey McTwat. (I don't care if the guy was Scottish or not, I think the name fits him. lol)
But yeah, back to the video... I noticed the product placement you mentioned, and I also picked out a little more... They blatantly show "Sony" several times... Now, I'm not one that's easily susceptible to subliminal advertising, but if they wanted me to avoid buying Sony products, they shouldn't have tried so hard...
Ignoring the video though, this was my first time actually hearing this song (Since I'm a weirdo and listen to country and rock most of the time), and I will admit that it had a catchy tune.
There's only one thing that bothers me, and that's the fact that her children (Have we forgotten about those poor little things already?) really shouldn't listen to their mommy singing about having sex with a random stranger. They're going to be scarred enough by having to listen to her sing "Hit me Baby One More Time" (Without the synthesizers) as a lullaby.
Well, I can't think of anymore to say about this. so... I hope you enjoyed my comment that very well could have been a blog post. :p
I am rather scared of all her new stuff honestly. I sort of enjoyed her older music, but when she came back Toxic was rather... not good for her little ones to ever hear.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to really like, take a LONG LONG LONG break, or change her music style so she isn't dancing like an person in the middle of a seizure. Maybe a change of musical style is in order.
I thought you were using just a little bit of hyperbole...nope. It's just really THAT BAD.
ReplyDeletehaha, yes. It's really that horrible. I was so pissed off by it all I had to post a new blog before I even got to Day 3.
