Britney Spears, Framed

Posted Thu Oct 11, 2007 7:03am PDT by John Kordosh in Framed

We can say one thing about Britney Spears: the exciting and vivacious songstress has been making headlines at an alarming pace, and usually not for her music.

But we here at Framed were excited as heck when her new video was released last week.  Of course, we're always looking for videos from the stars, but a Britney video is on a whole 'nother level.

A better level.  A superior level.

And that's why Britney's video for "Gimme More," in which Britney plays a brunette stripper and a blonde patron of the strip joint, is our featured video this week. The video is sure to stir controversy, but that's been Britney's stock-in-trade lately.  And, as reader Bludolphinchix01 posted right here in Framed last week: "Her voice alone makes this video a must see!"

Bludolphinchix was talking about Amy Lee, of course, but you catch our drift!

What Is Framed??  To readers new to our blog, welcome!  Here's how Framed works: we pore through hundreds of great videos every week, and then pick one that we feel will resonate most with our readers.  After we do, we "freeze" key frames and then write our own (sometimes impertinent) captions to those frames.

It's proven to be a winning formula for, lo, these many weeks, and we hope you'll like reading Framed every bit as much as we like writing it.  Your comments and observations are always welcome, so, please, let us know what you think.

 

 

1 - "Toast!  To Britney's newfound sobriety!"

 

2 - "Look, Britney - it's, like, you, if you were a whore-ish stripper instead of a legitimately talented singer-slash-dancer!"

 

3 - Light Britney was split off from Dark Britney by a nuclear explosion and the combination of many kryptonites!

 

4 - Insider's note: the pole is working for scale!

 

5 - A shout-out to Mm Ra, The-Mirror-Who-Is-More-Than-Man, is always fitting!

 

6 - "Look!  It's K-Fed's ‘career!'"

 

7 - Britney's old friend, Dealie Crankerson, came by to help everyone stay "focused."  He's the best!

 

8 - Britney's ability to mentally photograph everyone who looks at her on the Internet has left science intrigued, confused.

 

9 - Incredibly, this caption is actually being type-synched!

 

10 - Fame vs. Everything Else!  Fame wins!

 

11 - As regular Framed readers know, we occasionally stop the video just because we can.

 

12 - "Judge Gordon!  You?  Here??!"

I think Britney is talented. If she continues to produce music like this, I will continue to listen to it. I just wish she'd straighten her life so she doesn't end up like Anna Nicole.

3. iaja -
WOW, THIS REALLY IZ DIFFERENT, BUT I'M STILL ROOTIN' 4 BRIT.

4. Yahoo! Music User -
she is not that bad i mean there should be more dancing anyways she is still good

5. Kima -
it's Different from what she has done in the past. Personally, I've always thought that Britney was just alright as an singer a good dancer but not great. I do think that everyone should leave the poor girl alone she is only human.

~Nice Wig~!!!

7. jennifer -
i think she has gone to far. she is a mother of 2 handsome little boys. she needs to show respect for herself. she can do better than that.

8. Yahoo! Music User -
not the best

9. Melissa Rochelle -
I love the song and the outfit! The video is good, but it would be better if she did something other than dance around a pole the whole time. But I love it because it's saying that she doesn't care what other people think! Be yourself Brit!

10. Yahoo! Music User -
I happen to think she is talented and feel
that nobody should judge her until they walk
a mile in her shoes.

11. Kayci -
I LUV THIS VIDEO. I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING. SHE LOOKS GREAT AFTER HAVING 2 KIDS. SHE EVEN SOUNDS BETTER THAN B4.

12. Yahoo! Music User -
Hey! You have to stike while the iron is hot.
All publicity wether good or bad is great for
the line of work she is in. All this bad publicity will disappear and her life will
continue and her kids will love her anyway.
It's hard to trust anyone in her line of work. It seems to me that alot of the people around her have brought her down.

13. Nathan -
Wow, it's like Dirrty, only without talent or imagination, and a few years too late.

14. Yahoo! Music User -
