This song is terrible. I’m going to be a total snob about it, but I see little to no merit in this pap. It’s not even that danceable. Boring.

I’m a bit surprised by Dan Keeney’s comments. Not so much that he defends Britney and ‘rules’ against you, but more so that he actually paid attention to the lyrics.

I understand that women do tend to get wrapped up in lyrics anyway, and when Britney us wrything there naked it certainly gives your mind something else to focus on, but what’s Dan’s excuse? I freely admit that I haven’t a clue as to what ANY Britney song is “about”, and I don’t care. But maybe that’s because I’m a musician and I don’t have even tiniest expectation to find anything meaningful in a Britney lyric.

On another note, I had no idea that Brit Is Back and with a very old invention. So, like another of your readers has stated already, thank you for the mass of screen shots. Now I won’t be curious about the video and can just skip directly to some good porn if I want to watch a hot naked chick wryth around.

I do like the video, it is very sexy. And even though mass-media pop brainwash “music” like Britney Spears’ is generally my least favorite genre, I have to give the woman credit. Not many almost-30 moms of 2 can go around being that sexy… let alone being more famous than her 17 year old self when she first came into the spotlight. Most celebrities like her are cracked out and unable to appear on The Surreal Life. She’s looking good, and she played her parts in this video well… except for the part where she is a victom of a womanizer. you are 100% right in that she is the promiscuous one, not him. Furthurmore, this video definately doesn’t “empower women in bad relationships;” it just supports women being treated as sexual objects, in the fact that she is mounting him at any possible moment. The video paints a colourful picture of women wanting to just screw any guy. (though, in this case, the guy is very screwable.)

How long until Chris Crocker posts a comment? Leave Britney ALONE, Please waaaa waaaaa! Okay, now for some substance.

First, Britney is looking good in that video. I am sure that sales of Vaseline to 12 year olds jumped in the hours after it was posted. Second, did you notice what’s written on his Nokia 5800 XpressMusic touch-phone at 23 seconds? It has his calendar with “Product Placement Meeting.” Too funny. The Nokia is later used to shoot video of the office vixen. That’s pretty good use of irony.

Third, the song is written from the perspective of the guy’s gf at the start who is way jealous and imagining his various trysts (while relaxing naked in the sauna, conveniently). The words say things like, “You say I’m crazy,” and go on to explain that she can’t keep seeing him — even though the guy is innocent of the charge, as you point out. It all is pretty clear at the end as all four Britneys confront the guy — his gf and her three imagined seductresses who pop in and out because they aren’t really there (duh).

I rule Britney innocent of the charge of stupidity in videosity and I rule you guilty of inability to see the obvious.

Ah, Fayza. The observations in your last comment is completely valid. And what’s even more interesting is the same consumers are following mainstream media in the same fashion.

It’s so much easier to do what the radio/newspaper/tv/billboard tells you!

Thank You for such a brilliant blog post. I’ve never liked Britney hit me skinny. I’ve not heard her latest song and don’t intend to unless I’m somehow tortured into it.

Preach it, sister! I thought the same thing when I watched the video – who’s the one objectifying women here? The guy who went to work, or the woman who gyrates on top of him. Hmmm…

The sauna thing was so gratuitous. A rebuttal to the “she’s fat” contingent, I guess.

You know what? That’s probably it. I’m completely jealous.

I’m jealous that someone as untalented and uninteresting as Britney Spears gets to capitalize off the stupidity of tasteless, inane consumers. I wish I could base my career on nothing like she does.

So you’re right. I’m completely jealous.

Oh, by the way, it’s “jealous.” Doesn’t surprise me that a Britney fan can’t spell.

I saw this girl on tv and in the newspaper (in the “Entertainment” section). I think she is pretty, but she did not seem very happy.
Whether her music is good or bad, I wouldn’t know. Perhaps I heard her sing on tv, but can’t remember.
