I don't think HIAM was a great video but ok however Till The World Ends, I Wanna Go and the newly released Criminal have all been great videos.

HIAM was an absolute mess. I wanna go was just stupid.

Didn't think much of the first two but Criminal is FANTASTIC! Don't like the song but great video, very filmic, wish it had a better British actor and the British guy wasn't the villain (so American), but the production on it was great.

HIAM was a disappointment.Watching it NOW it looks like a good video, but after 14 teasers and a 6-week wait, it was underwhelming.

TTWE was extremely try-hard and contrived.Britney looked tired during this video.A mess.

IWG was a vast improvement.While not one of her best videos, it was still pretty great and fun

'Criminal' is just brilliant.The best Britney video in a while.

Overall, 'Femme Fatale' has been a rather weak era when it comes to the visuals Still a fantastic album, though

I loved till the world ends. Both versions are great. I liked how we were given two versions

Criminal is amazing, minus the awful acting of the Male who had the audacity to slap our Britney

Overall I think the FEMME FATALE era has had better music videos than her previous CIRCUS.

I Wanna Go and Criminal are definitely two of my most favourite. Till The World Ends is a great video that really complimented the song however it did remind me of a few other videos I'd seen which was a slight minus point. Hold It Against Me has some real good aspects to it, and the fight sequence is really impactful and thrilling however overall it just didn't really do it for me as much as her other videos... it lacked a certain spark and edge.

In order of preference:

1. I Wanna Go
2. Criminal
3. Till The World Ends
4. Hold It Against Me

I'm starting to see more of the 'old' Britney in her more recent videos. Criminal is brilliant, the sort of video i'd expect for a first single, let alone a 4th! I Wanna Go was also pretty good. She has some life behind her eyes now

Comparing the Britney in these 2 videos compared with the Britney of Piece of Me, Womanizer, 3, Gimme More etc... its like a different person.

I think the music videos to Circus were better:
[LIST][*]Womanizer - with all those iconic outfits[*]Circus - she looked hot in this video[*]If U Seek Amy - I thought this video was really clever[*]Radar - ok now this was bad[/LIST]
Though Femme Fatale has had some good videos namely TTWE, IWG and Criminal, I think HIAM was a crap video and looked like it was unfinished. In Femme Fatale, I think its a case of the music being far far better than the visuals, and Circus the other way round.

HIAM was disappointing at the time because we had been waiting so long, but watching it now it is a great video.
Its just because we had so many teasers, and with stupid Brian Friedman saying it was the best dancing she's ever done, I think fans were expecting it to be at Toxic/Slave 4 u levels.

her Blackout and Circus videos were pretty sub par or awful!

this era she stepped it up

HIAM was overhyped and it was not as promised...i wanted a full on JUST a dance themed video with intense choreo, costumes and direction! slick bitch fight and spray paint sequence but an underwhelming video and didnt match up with the era.

TTWE, better in some ways, simple concept. Slave 4 U did it MILES better but it is a fun apocalypse themed video and very sweaty so i dont mind. Overall solid and better than some but not as good as others.

I Wanna go, i forgot how much i loved it actually! I only saw it twice but it is really whck yand fun and it should have been what Piece Of Me should have been if that makes sense? Nice Terminator references and allusions throughout! Overlooked i think but very funny! i love it.

Criminal, oh my lordy this is an intensely amazing video! The direction, the concept. It shows how to take a song concept and the theme for the era itself and translate it to film and the screen. First Britney video i have loved since Everytime! And i have seen it several times within a day to find something new each time! THIS is what i call a music video!

So overall they havent been consistent...and they have been too far inbetween (3 months between videos is forever and makes the album sales drop or lose momentum which is a shame)

But i can safetly say the Femme Fatale era videos thus far rank behind the ITZ videos and Britney era videos! but ahead of all other eras i must say!

^^^I loved all the Blackout videos 'Gimme More' is the definition of an epic pop video Honestly, it's fun, interesting, enjoyable, groovy and now that Britney is alright and healthy, I fancy it even more 'Piece Of Me' was the comeback of the blonde, wig tossing, ass shaking Britney, so I liked that too and 'Break The Ice' was cool too with the japanese influences.Maybe I'm being a little more subjective because I LOVED that album, but I think those videos were good And the first 3 videos off of 'Circus' were great too.Bubbly, cute and fresh

'Hold It Against Me' has probably been my favourite video for this album. It was overhyped, yes but I like idea. The dancing could have been better but she doesn't dance like used to anymore so I guess that's asking too much. I liked the fight scene. I find that genuinely entertaining.

'Till The World Ends' is kind of boring. Her dancing is pretty bad when you watch what the backing dancers are doing with the same choreography.

'I Wanna Go' is fun. I like the cool feel of it. It almost looks cold in the video if you get my meaning.

I'm not too keen on 'Criminal'. It's mostly the two of them eating each other's faces and I don't like the OTT British accents.

I've loved all the videos, it's one of her (and 2011's) best albums, HIAM was a great video, it just happened that the teasers showed basically the entire video in a split up fashion, it didn't seem as brilliant when released because we waited so long, to basically just get all the teasers hashed together.

Til the World Ends looked like Britney was ready to put some effort in again.

I Wanna Go was a great fun Britney, something that was also missing for a while.

I'd say the video for Criminal was instantly my favourite video she's done, even ahead of Toxic and Baby One More Time.

She seems to have the fire back in her eyes in the new video, she's not staring blankly at the camera waving her arms about like in the Circus videos, we see her actually moving in a continuous shot, it's hardly epic choreography, but she seems much more "with it" in those few 5 second dance shots than she has in a long, long, long, long time.

It's like the perfect end to the campaign, with a massive teaser that she's almost back to fighting fitness, and I Cannot wait for the next onslaught of material. If Criminal is anything to go by, this will be the "real" comeback (said that how many times now? lol)

pity the music has just been a pathetic robotic auto tuned mess. How this "singer" has fans and sells records is beyond me. Im so glad she has pretty much bombed in the uk with her new stuff. she deserve any of her success
