But if you don't want to answer, that's fine, we can end the discussion and I won't try to see things from your perspective.

no i want to answer.... i love debates and nice conversations that demand some critical approach on things...
fame and its downsides its a theme Britney singed about since lucky....
the reasons i dont like HIAM video is primary 2...
1) I dont like the fact that they used as the video's concept the fame thing for the sole reason that the songs has nothing to do with that theme!! I mean why use an overused theme (by Britney) and use it once again in a situation that doesn't call it...i dont mind Britney using that theme often, cause she is a person that has every right to do so... but only when its appropriate otherwise it gets repetitive and cliche and makes Britney feel like a one trick pony....
Videos using the fame theme in one way or the other
Lucky (very good and insightful)
overprotected the darkchild remix
everytime
Piece of Me
if u seek Amy
Kill the lights
HIAM
i wanna go
now if u also count songs with that theme like mona lisa (the best song using that theme), my prerogative etc etc.... u see that britney likes to touch this theme especially after Breakdown her videos uses it constantly...
So why is there a need to make another video about fame on a song that has absolutely nothing to do with that....
2) second important reason is the Comeback repetitive thing....
What i mean is that after Breakdown Britney had 2 comebacks, one that failed and because of that circus was also labeled as a comeback.... so why after Britney established her return and that she is now strong and relevant again, is there a need to play the comeback card again....HIAM video is comeback video BUT that hurt her image more imo.... If u have a successful comeback and then u return and u labeled it as comeback then its like your previous one wasn't good... look at lindsay and her numerous comebacks.... that only shows people that Britney hasn't truly returned yet and to be honest she wasnt so why do we need to draw the attention to that fact.... i am not explaining it very well but i hope u get what i mean....
other reasons are because she looks like mess in the video and the scenes from her past glory dont help either... cause they make the comparison all more obvious....also the illuminati/weird stuff are ridicilous, i dont say i believe in that ***** but there was a need to use the faceless demons, the joker smile and the goat head wires etc ??.... the editing is a mess too, u cant tell that she dances (and i bet she didnt) cause teh scenes are cuted that way that never show her close frontal in order to hide this... the body double..... the fight scene was a mess too watching two chumpy ladies fighting....
Just because I am giving criticism it does not mean I do not like her anymore.
