Britney Spears’ ‘Gimme More’ Video

I’m thinking she should have debuted the video at the VMA’s instead of performing. Your thoughts on the video.

    nasty:
    i wasn’t being literal, but since you are so sensitive and take everything personally… MOST people couldn’t do better. is that ok? that i said most? i never got nasty with anyone on this site, btw. i shared my fairly optimistic viewpoint in defense of brit. nothing more.

    and calling people mean when they are being mean is calling it like it is. so when someone is projecting their crap on to me i will call it every time. go cry on your wee pillow- you named yourself nasty bugger and it fits. go figure.

    It was pretty boring… kept waiting for her to do something that wasn’t just pole dancing, or at least pan the camera out so you could watch the dancing & not just her face.
    She looked good, though. & it could have been much, much worse.

    Here’s what I don’t get: she’s got more $$$ than Satan, why can’t she spend some of it on a wig made from human hair and a step above Lee press-on nails?

    “If it was someone in any of your families you would die to hear the way people are talking, and you’d defend them.”

    Well no, if a family member of mine was driving around unlicensed with the kids riding improperly, without seatbelts, and even on her lap in a way that could kill them all instantly, no, I would never defend that person.
    So many Britney supporters seem to desperately shut their eyes to her actual behaviour. I want to know why the children don’t seem to matter at all to her supporters.
    In my opinion they are the ONLY things that matter. They didn’t ask to be dropped into this hellish and dangerous life they have. She owes it to them to take proper care of them.
    But she obviously doesn’t want them, so things will probably work out exactly as they should, with someone else (anyone else) raising them.

    I can no longer hold this in. Britney is a professional pop star and we should expect no less than a kick-ass professional performance from her. When she doesn’t deliver, she isn’t doing her job, period. I don’t care how much she’s got going on in her personal life. Deal with it and produce, or get out of the game. It’s as simple as that.

    I give the video a 3 out of 10. It wasn’t horribly bad, but it wasn’t very entertaining. I didn’t understand what the story was behind it (if there was any). Was she trying to seduce that dude we saw for, like, half a second by putting on a strip show? Was Brit and her girlfriends laughing at him? We’re they even at the same place as him? All you saw was Brit dancing around the pole with one hand on it and flipping her hair. Oh, and she was frisking against a mirror. Now if she was actually doing some real stripper moves, like flipping upside down or whatever, it would have been cool. Anyone could do what she was doing in the video…ok, except maybe someone in a wheelchair, but you get my point. I also don’t understand what the whole “stripper theme” even has to do with the damn song! All she wanted to do was make a slutty video to prove to everyone that she’s still “hot”, and guess what? It didn’t work. Now she looks like an even bigger fool than before. Very sad…

    “you are obviously a cynic and a mean, nasty piece of garbage. boy or girl, she is hotter than you could possibly hope to be.”

    “you go and get trained, have voice coaching, and work with a choreographer and YOU WILL SUCK!!.”

    um, how could one NOT take those words personally? you directed them at me, how am I supposed to take them? you did more than “share your optimistic viewpoint”, you insulted me. or tried to, at least, with some puerile words.

    I find it funny, and incredibly hypocritical, that you called me mean, and yet you spewed venom when all I did was disagree with your “optimistic viewpoint”. which, in truth, wasn’t really an optimistic viewpoint. It was a poor defense of someone by using the “you couldn’t do better” excuse. even if that were true, it’s irrelevant. Britney made herself famous by doing those things. It was her job. It’s not unreasonable to expect a little bit better from her, but she just doesn’t care. She has the time, the experience, and the money to do those things again, and do them well. She chooses to be mediocre, and she’ll never have a comeback with that attitude.

    I don’t see how I am “projecting” anything onto you. You have your opinion, I have mine, and clearly we disagree.

    and BTW, what’s a “psychic vampire”?

  11. ickivicki

    Yeah, I was kinda wondering the same thing…

  12. lena

    I want my four minutes back that I wasted on watching this video!

  13. JRo

    Message board fights always escalate into these ridiculous epic battles, but in reality they’re just really cowardly.

    This isn’t Darfur we’re talking about here. This is just to have a laugh during a lunch break. Everybody chill.

    Apparently this is just the i-tunes exclusive video and the full video will premier on TRL on monday.. This is just one scene of the video, and the full video will include other different britneys.. and much less stripper britney.

  16. Nolamama, are you here in New Orleans? :)

  17. Rosie

    The girl is trying to hard to be sexy. She still can’t sing.

    and for all of you who asked: Psychic Vampire- ruby was right. it is someone that takes until you are left with nothing, no self respect or hope or faith. they won’t leave until they have everything. maybe kfed is a good dad, who knows? we never see him with the kids. but i do think he was a pv and sucked all that energy out of her. yes, she pursued him but i don’t think she had a clue who or what he was. sad but true…

    AGAIN b/c you were not listening, still sensitive and telling ME how mean I AM!! ok kettle. whatever. i defend her, you attack me. that doesn’t make me anything put sympathetic and sad for all the people who are throwing rocks at brit.

    “i wasn’t being literal, but since you are so sensitive and take everything personally… MOST people couldn’t do better. is that ok? that i said most? i never got nasty with anyone on this site, btw. i shared my fairly optimistic viewpoint in defense of brit. nothing more.

    and if you are mean and don’t like being called mean then stay OFF THE BLOG!! go hit a pillow or something.

  19. nastybugger

    alyssa, dear, you did attack me. your words are there for everyone to see. if you don’t remember what you wrote, perhaps you should scroll back up and refresh your memory. Not that you really need to, since I quoted you in my posts. Do you have selective illiteracy?

    you “defended” her with “like any of you could do better” which is not a defense. it’s a deflection.

    as for your advice to stay off the blog, I suggest you take your own advice since you’re unable to handle any criticism of your dear Brit, and seemingly unable to realize/remember/admit when you’ve attacked someone.

    Sad? yes, that’s certainly what you are.

    Shasta said it best, she’s a pop star. And it’s Britney, she should be held to a higher standard. She’s made some fantastic videos and this thing was terrible.

    And how did it take guts for her to go on the VMAs? It’s her job. Maybe it would have taken guts had she tried but did she? You can’t say she did.

    Britney’s attitude should be “it’s Britney bitch, and I can do this better then any of y’all” and she used to.

    I don’t care about the kids or how’s she hounded or how she was married to a “pyschic vampire” (seriously, go look up the word psychic), she’s made a fortune off it and of being a popstar. She should have done better.

    Zekers, good for your kitty. Mine can’t even kill an ant, she’s that embarrassing.

    to loob:
    What i meant to say was that if it was someone in my family, (after the first incident) that i would never have stopped trying to help them, not that it’s alright to do the things that she’s done. BUT… if it was someone in my family i would not just stand around and let her be ridaculed in the media, I would not stop until she got the help she needed. I mean, really, god knows where her trouble started. It could have stared with post partum. All i know is like i said before, if i was her mom i would not be over at k-feds home playing gramma, i’d be trying to get my grandkids back with my daughter(since she fought tooth and nail to get her into the bussiness, i’m sure she could find her way back to her daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. NYLA

    For the multitudes what Ms. Spears did on the pole was correct…it would have been 2 much and out of her target markets reach if she had turned into skank on the pole..it was very flirty very cutesy. She’s not big with horny teen boys more like tweenys. And the video was SO GOOD ! It really spoke to what she is trying to do. She is not a little girl anymore and now the whole world has seen the very gritty and creative video. Very artsy. And being an artist of mix media myself I can agree !

  23. Shasta

    Skank on a stick

  24. 1 Alright mama

    i agree that i would not be defending her after all this time, BUT it never should have come to these extremes. If she was my daughter(like i sais earlier) it would never have came to the extemes that it has. I would have called the cops, or done anything after the first couple of episodes, not just handed them over to a man that does not care about his kids(if he did he would have stayed with his girlfriend pregnant and other baby, instead of marring Britney for her money and her child support)

  25. Shasta

    Skank on a pole. I don’t think anyone could have said it better.

  26. Persistent Cat

    NYLA, are you serious? Seriously, are you serious? I hope not. I think after being married and having two kids and being, oh I don’t know, 25, I don’t think she has to prove she’s a woman now. Besides, she had that bad song a few years ago to clear that up. I’m pretty sure she had a bunch of songs in which to clear that up.

    There’s nothing flirty or cutesy about dancing with/on/against a pole. Nothing. It’s skank and somewhat demeaning to women. And there wasn’t much creative about the video. It was four minutes or her shimmying against a pole. I’ll admit, I don’t mind the song, it’d be fun to dance to in a club, but I want the old Britney to come back. That girl wasn’t much of a singer but man could she dance. I want dancing Britney back.

    The video was up all day on Webcastr.com. I don’t know if you saw it but I would say – concept good, dancing weak. The song of course is the song which is good. The video looks a bit cheap and dark. You can see some of it here still as they have coverage even after it comes down. http://www.webcastr.com.

  28. This video fucking sucks,.,. it’s SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD.,. I mean do you even remember toxic?,.,. and the diamond dress??,. and the hot-sexy-heroe-brunett britney?,.,.,. do you even remember it?,., THIS IS JUST BAD.,., I’M SO PISSED OF,., CUZ I’VE WAITED LIKE 3 WEEKS to see this dumb bullshit,,.., is awfull,., IS THIS IT????,.,.,. I MEAN REALLYY’??’ AND WTH??????,., SHE’S DONE,., I’M SORRY,,.,AS MUCH AS I LOVE HER,.,. THIS WAS 2 FUCKING MUCH FOR ME,., I’M JOINING PEREZ’ CAMPAING TO BOICOT BRITNEY…This is her extinction as an artist,., if she ever were one

  29. Sheffie

    welll,
    i thought i was bored!

    i though tthe video was ok- nothing spectauular.
    the song is the same….
    but i do think she looks hot for a mother of 2 young kids…i have an 8mth old and i have about 15kilos to lose and it shows! she looks great!
    and at the end of the day; i really dont thinnk she would care what any of us think, but look what were doing, talking abOut her and giving her more publicity- exactly what she would want!
    GO BRITNEY!!!

    This video was horrible. I got motion sickness watching it. She could have at least stufied how to use a stripper pole properly. I think that she should have let the other back up dancers do all the pole dancing. Babies sure have made her a stiff person. She should stick to hitting cars and eating McDonalds instead of shooting videos and making songs that say the same thing over, and over, and over. Guess it is so she doesnt forget her lines if she comes to work drunk one day. Oh, wait. That happened already. VMA’s
