I am a big idiot. I broke my Wordpress last night while doing useless crap. By the time I realized what I had done, I had to install Wordpress again from the beginning. I really should learn to quit while I’m ahead and not try and fix things that aren’t broken to begin with. 
Britney lovers get ready to bash on me all you want, I don’t care. I saw her new video for “Gimme More” last night…wow. I thought her performance at the MTV Music awards was a bit lacking, but this video was absolute torture to watch. Yet I couldn’t tear my eyes away; it was like watching a bad car accident. Jake Sarfaty, what were you thinking? This may have ruined your career before it even started. I don’t know whose idea it was for the video (my guess would be Spears), but whoever came up with it must have been on crack. I get that she was playing dual roles or whatever, but it didn’t make sense. The “good” Britney was watching the “bad” Britney hump the mirrors and pole dance in an outfit reminiscent of the one she wore at the music awards. Only she had a tattoo on one of her biceps this time. Ooh, that’s so tough-looking! The lights they flashed around Britney throughout the video made it seem as though she, and everyone dancing with her, were high on drugs. Come to think of it, that video looks like it belongs in the eighties, when bad lighting and out of focus cameras were all the rage. It did not make the video look “raw and edgy”. It made the video looked as if it were produced by an amateur who was messing around with all kinds of video effects (sorry Jake, the truth hurts).
The only thing about the video I liked was the fact that she looked that good after having two kids. Sure she isn’t a size 0, but she looks normal. She has some meat on her bones, and she looks healthy. I think she looks great, even though her choreography was not up to her usual standards.
Look, I think the song is okay. It’s catchy, and I even find myself bobbing along to the beat when it comes out on the radio. I just think that the video could have been done much better, compared to the past videos that Britney has done. I understand she’s going through a lot, but who isn’t? She’s not the only one with problems, and there are people out there with much worse problems than she has. She needs to grow up and realize that life isn’t going to be easy all the time. You’re going to fall, and fall hard sometimes. She should focus on one thing, her career or her kids. She can’t do half-ass jobs on both and expect to get away with it (especially with her kids). In my opinion, I think she should have stuck to raising her kids instead of trying to make a comeback when clearly that isn’t going to happen like she hoped.
So here’s my verdict: decent song, craptastic video. Major disappointment. What do you guys think?

Haha yeah I saw the Britney video too and I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. It was really bad. I agree that it was hard not to watch. I just wanted to see how she was doing these days. I didn’t think she would be able to come back into the stoplight. And I still think that’s true. I kept trying to see her face during the video but they didn’t really focus on it that much.
Yeah I was looking at her belly too. I expected that she would be fat because of all the nonsense that she has been going through but she didn’t look too bad at all.
Oh that video sucked big time. I wouldn’t say she looks good compare to what she looked like before. She used to have what I call a great body. I don’t think she should go around wearing so little clothes. It doesn’t look good on her even though she has a normal body now. She looks like a cow (my opinion).
Agree on the video: the lightning is horrible, her hair, eh wig is all over the place and everything’s out of focus. Not good.
