It's definitely different. I don't like the over the top English accents. First the boyfriend at the beginning sounds a little posh then he goes gangsta with, "Oi! Don't disrespect me!" Lol.

I don't like the obvious advertising of the perfume but it's hardly unusual. The punching part is funny. I'm surprised by the amount of 'steamy' parts. They'll probably be cut out.

It's different that's for sure.

The advertising of the product earns britney money though. She made about 200-300 grand when she did it for for Hold it against me.

The censors will be in overdrive. But it's quite a good video. Her best in a while but there's a bit too much boring bits for me...

Why would this video be censored? do British not watch "sex scenes" in films or TV series?

And at risk of sounding like an old woman, we shouldn't be getting used to those kinds of scenes on daytime television. I mean the Britney video here. Little kids will have access to it and they shouldn't quite frankly.

Oh right... so the wanted pretty much fornicating in every video is ok, and beyonce half naked caressing herself is fine too, this is what i mean just because its britney Britain will do anything to make her look bad, as always

I don't know about that. Most pop videos are pretty bad for all of that now. People have got so used to it that they don't see a problem. The gyrating and double meanings of them are pretty bad. You'd be hard pressed to find one without any of that.

A very good video.
But I can see it getting banned, the gun and the sex scenes.
But well done Brit, if she gets this on every music channel and she gets on X Factor it will be a hit here!

People keep saying that but, it really wasnt. Firework still gets played on music channels, at all times, uncut.

FANTASTIC!!

I had zero expectations, but this is a briliant video.She looks comfortable and relatable.Hell, even her hand movements and hair flips look less contrived than typical post-breakdown Britney I am pleasantly surprised.The best video of the FF era (and the only one that she actually looked like a Femme Fatale, apart from the start) and possibly her best video since 'My Prerogative'. Amazing!

Such a great video! And one of the best ones she's done in years. She looks so healthy and "in the moment". Love the girl, best video from this era by far.

Great video. Shame it's going to flop on it's arse here like the rest of this doomed era.

I really like it. It's very different, but simplistic too. Britney looks stunning, Jason looks great, it's a well-executed video. Pileiro's eye for detail has come to the fore again. Here are some things I noticed;

- She steals Vanilla-scented candles in the store.
- The news station is named CMP Local (Chris Marrs Pileiro).
- "No vanilla candles were harmed in the making of this video".
- Her perfume. Obviously. Sprayed seven times.

I agree with the people saying it'll be banned. Two sex scenes (one topless, with a fairly suggestive body shot) and gun use is enough for that.

It's my favourite video from Femme Fatale.

I've got a link and it's great quality, but I'm sure the VEVO one will be a bit better.If you haven't seen the video and can't wait until the VEVO update, PM me

It's nothing how I expected, but it is still EPIC!

I love the mini-movie feel without feeling too drawn out.
The product placement wasn't in your face like HIAM, which is great, although it'll be edited out for TV anyways, right?
She has fire in her eyes and is managing to pull off close up shots again without looking dazed or uninterested!
I loved the hand dancing!
Jason is perfect for the male lead as he is kind of rugged and handsome, but still an everyday man and makes it more realistic and meaningful.
The store robbery scene was great! I expected the criminal to be egging her on, but I love how Britney lead the thing herself because she was falling in love with his lifestyle.
The whole Vanilla Candles thing was an excellent easter egg!
Basically...9/10!

Britney should have Joseph Kahn and Chris Mars Pilero on rotation to direct her music videos FOREVER! They seem to get her as an artist best!

I agree with all of your points, but this one in particular!

Just type it into Youtube, then with the results filter via upload date, and itll show you the newest ones, not the ones that have been removed for nearly a whole day! That's how I got mine and that was just a few minutes ago!
Happy Hunting!
