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 she got to mess up in the music business at a young age. Doing what ever Hollowood star would do to reach to the top.

It's a shame artists aren't in it for the music anymore. This video has nothing to do with the song(which isn't very good in and of itself). This is the type of video teenage boys watch with the sound off anyways. It's ironic that little miss 4gets her panties is a stripper in her new video. She has lots of experience in that area.

Ya know I actually pray for britney sometimes at night because it's really sad to see what the media has to say. If we all were to imagine for a second of what it would be like to wake up and from that moment know that every move we make, everything we say and do is being filmed and recorded most of us would just lose it in some way or another. As a mom I don't do everything right, I make mistakes, I'm human. I can only imagine how it would make me feel reading all this crap all the time if it were about me. I wish her the best of luck and pray for her family that nothing severe will happen to her. I don't know her and really don't want to, but in life I think we all need people praying for us. It's what keeps us going in this crazy world we live in.

She was a good girl and can be that way again if she got help. I wish she hadn't turned down Timbaland and Justin Timberlake and the duet they offered especially because Britney and Justin haven't spoken since they broke up however many years ago. If she gets her life together she might get he boys back. I hope she gets that bartender job she said she wants.[although she may have been drunk when she said that]Love ya Britney and hope you get better!!!!!

71. Yahoo! Music User -
brit. i love the new music video.

72. Brittany -
well i guess that britt is expressing her feeling for k-fed but she has two kids and already has trashed her reputation so the whole i want to go naked thing she should leave alone i loved her when she had more clothes on and hade music that didn't say gimme more as in I want more sex. But I think she has a great voice.

73. Erin -
it's not a band song, but I think she could've done such a better video. If you're going to play a stripper, at least do it convincingly. and Everyone should leave her alone while she figures out what she wants to do for the rest of her life.

I for one happend to enjoy the music video. Im not sure if you guys are aware but sex sells. Yes she is having issues in her life right now and is doing things that many of us dont agree with but i love the song and the music video. Also to those who are talking about her looking fat... I didnt see any on here id just like to say that she looks amazing. And she should not be ashamed of her body she looks good. YEs her performance at the VMA's was rocky to say the least but it was her first real performance in a pretty long time. And for those who are judging her as a person, i get where your coming from but your supposed to judge the video not the person. Dont hate on her music and her talent becuse you dont aprove of the choices she is making nor the way she is living her life. We all have problems who are we to judge her for her mistakes?

75. Patsy -
We love you brittney just stay beautiful.

76. Lexi or Alex -
I LOVE BRITT!!!! She is freaking awesome! Everyone is just all ver her because she is going through stuff. everyone does, but because it is Brittney, it's much more publicized. They seriously need to get off her.

77. Dirtchild -
Love you Brit!!!

78. Letitia -
I think that Britney is a good singer and is very talented but she made a big mistake when she got married and had two kids she wouldn't be going through this if she wouldn't have and that is a good song I loved Britney's songs ever since she started making music they need to leave Britney alone because she is not a dumb girl.

79. monicaM -
give britt a brake pliz...you have no idea how hard it is 2 have kids and on top of that to have people talking about you 24/7, so she made mistake after mistake dressed like a slot like almost all american girls!!! so what at least she made tons of money more than you people would ever see in you life..she needs to focus now and think about her babies hopefully she will..
