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??!"

26. DianaS -
I'm a mother two and I'm the same age as Brit but she needs to grow up and stop fooling around and raise the those two kids and be responsible for you and for everybody that listens to Brit's music.I grow up from that stage and so should she. That video is horrible there's only one verse "Gimme More" what she can't put more words into this song and video, Come on Brit GIMME MORE.

Hey People!
I just want to say that (whether you're a fan or not) if you're supporting Britney and hoping that she will do well, then kudos to you! Thumbs up!
To anyone who has something negative to say...
We all have our own opinions, and we all have the right to say them. However it would be nice if you're opinion is rude then it would be best to keep it to yourself. 1.) Because no one really wants to here you rant, and call people names, that's immature. 2.) Because someone's going to respond, and you will start a "fight".

Anyone who makes fun of Britney should really be ashamed of themselves. And I include comedians, and websites, and stupid Perez. Britney is, I hate to admit, a bit unstable at the moment, the last thing she needs is people critizing her. We need to show support, and people need to help her.

Britney forever! Best wishes!

LOL i feel sorry for that pole too! haha! and to mryluvshorses AND xfxfruityemilyxfx u guys r ridiculous! if ppl don't like her its not because were haters..its because we know it for a FACT! and that it makes headlines like crazy, how could u NOT comment on her crappy lifestyle!? yes, she may still make good music, but if she can't even handle her role as mother...why did she do that in the first place??? think about it ppl!!!

29. Alexander -
Brittney stunt double did an awesome job, and has a perfect butt. You can tell when is chunky britt and skinny double. Bold move though.

30. Dee -
I'm embarrassed for her, she's a walking mess, she needs to get her acted together, she is a beautiful girl with two beautiful children, it's all Kevin's fault!!!! Love the song, but her video could have been alot better (i liked her in the blonde wig with the girls at the bar, and the guy in the video was hot!!) not feeling the stripper pole or the dancing.

31. Sara C -
Love ya Britney but can't stand the dark hair.
Look better as a blonde.

32. Yahoo! Music User -
I still love britny .... go britny...I hope God will guide her... I hope she can back like birtney b4 ......I hope u can pass all your trials.. just believe in GOD...

33. Yahoo! Music User -
AND ONE MORE THING..
well, duh britney spears has to get her lifestlye back together, but as far as her singing career, it might go downhill. and obviously everyone does have their own opinions but if it has to be negative comments, like mine, LEAVE THEM ALONE!! you ppl don't start "fights" or anything stupid like that when its a positive comment now do you??? you just comment back to agree with it and add EVEN MORE positive comments!!

SO..STOP trying to give reasons as to why ppl leave the NEGATIVE comments about Spears!!!! i COULD give reasons as to why ppl leave positive comments, but i don't because, once again, EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS! good grief! so ppl in general should just cool it and respond to whatever and HOWever they want about anything so long as ppl reealize that its their opinion PLUS everybody else's..no body should be starting "fights" anyways..its dumb.

34. TamaraR -
That was disturbing...but whats more disturbing is that someone had the idea for this video and thought it would work. And no one is hating on Britney, she's just put herself in a bad position. Granted her life's been under the microscope but seriously. I think she jus needs to fade from the spotlight for a while.

35. Kelly M -
well, the video is different from her previous efforts... from 1to5 im gonna give it a 4...

36. aw -
