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??!"

hope i look that good after i have two kids. all you guys keep talking about her needing to be a good mom. now, im not really a fan, but in terms of how i grew up, she would rate high. you ever heard of her beating the crap out of them? No. the girl's young, troubled, and buckling under the pressure. give her a break geez.

Britt is gorgeous, after two kids she still looks amazing, I don't think anyone knows the kind of life she has led to get to were she is know. I think she is a great girl and she got taken by a smooth talker nevertheless she has proven no one is going to stop her. I think many people in her life have tried to bring her down, she is rich and famouse so why not right? No, it is not ok to judge people so harshly. Britt has talent and she obviously loves her boys, she will get her life together because she won't go down without a fight. Britt you go girl!!! We are right behind ya!!! God Bless You:)

This video is so awesome and Britney looks so DARN HOT.

OK, come on. You have to give it to the girl. Her body is TIGHT!!! I wonder why so many people hate, maybe because as they sit by their computers overweight and out of shape and unhappy in their own lives, they just want someone else's life to be worse then their own. You'll know what they say, "Misery enjoys company." While I wish her the best and continue to support she, cause you know what, in a bit we all like her, when we make our mistakes and try to stand again it doesn't happen easily and we don't do it over night, but we do have it a bit better then her, because we also don't have ALL our mistakes thrown back into our face on a daily basis. So I truly hope, Ms. Brit., that you find yourself in better company then in the company of all those that only wish to bring you down, they so that they can have some company in their MISERY.

I like the song!! You go Brit, don't let the haters get ya down.

Ah, sorry to disagree with everyone especially the person who wrote the "Framed" article, but this video was aweful. The story line was confusing and boring. Britney seems self-conscience and looked like she didn't know what to do with that pole. I am disappointed purely because her videos/performances are always exciting. This time I just felt sorry for her.

The entire video she just walks around a pole, and the song's lyrics are soley made up of "gimme more". The whole thing is sad and mind numbing.

I LOVE Britney! She is my girl, can't get enough of her music, she's #1 in my book, but this video could have been much, much better. It wasn't pretty. She just isn't moving like she used to. That's why i love her! cause she's got the moves! now, she doesn't. where'd they go! =( where's the i'm a slave 4 u, oops! baby one more time, crazy, i'm not a girl, toxic moves!

54. Tristan -
