Gimme More: The Review

October 8th, 2007

It looks like Britney has released her most boring video yet: Gimme More.

It’s one of those fancy “dual-role” videos. It starts off with Britney sitting at a bar, clad in an uber-shiny blond wig, with two blond friends of her, who are all pretending to have fun. Britney probably has no idea who these girls are - and it shows. You can see it in her sedated eyes. Then cut to the bar’s stage avec stripper pole as a dark-haired Britney walks up to it and starts shimmying around it. For the next 3 minutes. Just shimmying. Over and over and over again. Shimmying. Oh wait, at one point she’s over at the mirror, dry-humping it. And the blond Britney with her Blondettes just sits back and watches. (Check out blond Brit’s facial expression at the 1:30 mark - it’s the same look I had on my face for the entire video - utter confusion).

And they had to do re-shoots of this? What?! I could have shot this in my basement with my crappy Super8 camcorder and a multi-coloured fisher price strobe light.

I’m just mad that she can make fun and sexy videos like Toxic, I’m A Slave For U, Hit Me Baby One More Time, You Drive Me Crazy, etc, etc, etc…. and now, when what she needs is a eye-popping mind-blowing video, she releases a snoozefest instead.

What happened to the girl I used to know? The one that could belt it out on Star Search? The one that had amazing over-the-top dance numbers? Come back to us, Britney Spears! Come back!

  4. Hmm, are you talking about the iTunes promo? Because AFAIK that’s different from the ACTUAL official Gimme More video which was just shown on TRL at 3:30 est. But yay Canada for not having the same capability…

  6. If you can make it to the end of the video without dying of boredom…I’m sure you will suffer a seizure from all the spastic camera shakes.
