Let's Rank & Discuss Britney's post-breakdown Music Videos
10.
Let me start by saying that Radar is probably my favorite track of Blackout. The hook, the lyrics, the attitude, the beat... Toxic 2.0, imo. The video, on the other hand, was a HOT ASS MESS. What the **** was she thinking? She obviously did to for the Candie's and iPhone product placements. Unnecessary clip. She looked gorgeous, that's about it. Though if I wanted to see gorgeous Britney I could have googled it. Not to mention how it flopped. Ever since this was released, I've played the track maybe 10 or 11 times.
YouTube Views: 15.7 million.

SORRY ARMY. I like the video for few reasons; the opening, it was quite a surprise. When was the last time Britney interacted that way in a video? It was something. The video seemed really cheap, though. It's like they collected some brilliant ideas and tossed it altogether and it didn't roll well together. It's her most tired look yet, wasn't fresh at all, and she looked.... like she was posing next to fans throughout the entire video, we all know how she looks when that happens. Plus, I think this is Britney's most generic single of all time. I never understood why the fans adored it. The ending of the video... let's just stop here.

Her dirtiest video ever. PERIOD. I don't care about what anyone says. I LOVED IT. She was fierce, she looked SEXY, the outfit was ****ing HOT, we might have expected a better comeback video, but that's what we got and it was ****ing GOOD. Her smile and ass jiggles make the video for me. That blue-ish theme in the video is cute, too. When I first saw it - like everyone else - I thought Britney had gone crazier than she already was, bought an expensive camera, hired a guy to hold the camera, and started stripping with her friends in this cheesy club, went home with a pack of cheetos and started editing it using Windows Movie Maker and added these cool blue colours for the **** of it. 1 month later, I realized how trash-ily artistic and ****ty it is and started appreciating it.

The Director's cut ***** on the original version. WHO in their RIGHT minds will cut out parts like THOSE? The dancing was a little bit disappointing considering its a dance song and she was on tour dancing her ass off (), but whatever. I live for the attitude and that spark in her eyes. The middle 8 ***** on lives too. The Ciara pole was unnecessary too. Still a great dance video. My best friend thinks its her best video ever. OK.

First 20 times I watched this video, I thought it was the best music video of ALL TIME. Yes, OF. ALL. TIME. Watching it was an EXPERIENCE. I think it's because I missed that Britney SO MUCH. It was bright, fun, sexy - and the "**** you, media" role it took was PHENOMENAL. Has a star, as big as Britney Spears, ever done something like this before, and PULLED IT OFF? ***waits for some troll to quote this part only and post a Gaga clip***... No.
Oh and that breakdown dance was cute. Apparently she choreographed and taught the gerls how to do it herself. <3
YouTube Views: currently 31 million + the one that had 61 million views that was deleted + another 12 million views that was deleted, too = 104 million

Her most underrated video & song? I think YES. If this were the first single of Circus, it would have served the album right. It's controversial. It's Pop MAGNIICENCE. She hasn't looked this sexy since Toxic. The dance was effortless and fierce. The storyline of both the song and video is genius. This could have been up there with her most memorable singles of all time (BOMT, Toxic, Slave), if it weren't for JIVE's ****ed up ****.
Favorite Scene: when she mouths the first line of the song. Sex.
YouTube Views: 21.4 million..... meanwhile a little 15 year old kid bowling and acting all gangster gets 500 million views. I. CAN. NOT.

Let's forget all about the doubles, and the fact that 50% of the video is full of ****s humping rocks and themselves. This video is simply Britney. I'd say the DANCE version is much, much better than the original because its more Britney than horny ****s, but this video overall is right there next to Baby One More Time, Toxic and Slave amongst the best Pop music videos of our generation. I can't even describe how happy I was after watching it.
Favorite scene: ALL OF IT. Yes, humpings included.

Say what you want about Britney not being in control over her life and how her life is a circus, but she RULED that video. This video is exactly why Britney sits at home and doesn't do **** and manages to ship millions of albums today. Britney is the kind of artist that WORKS the camera. Her presence in this video automatically turns you into a STAN. Did anyone notice her biting her lip at the "I call the shots" part at 1:57? She was killing it. She genuinely enjoys being a performer, and whether she's hardly dancing, or moving in the speed of light, all eyes are on her. That is something she has in common with her mentors Michael Jackson and Madonna.
Favorite Scene: every "I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins" scene + Johnny Lightning's avatar + when the shiny sparkles fall down and she's moving like a Goddess.

Never got the hate on this video AT ALL. The dancing was GOOD. I don't even know how to start with this video. Mainly, the reason many people didn't like it, because it had 14 teasers and made everyone think it was going to be the ultimate Pop music video. Which it wasn't. But, it most certainly ***** on every single video released this year. No question asked. That fight scene was brilliant. The breakdown reference *******. The last quarter of the video is something the Music Video industry needs more of. It was TOO GOOD.
Favorite Scene: last 40 seconds.

I don't give a **** about what you or your Mom think, this video is the best Pop music video since 2004 (hey Toxic, sup?). PERFECTION. The song is a 10/10 moment, but the video is a 1000/10 moment, it made me play the song 100 times PER DAY. The SET. The DIRECTION. She was so FIESTY. The whole video was FLAWLESS. Nothing released since 2005 tops this and if you Monsters diagree meet me in SYG right ****ing NOW. I can never get enough of this video. The video just SUITES the song and gives it a WHOLE different prespective. The sauna scene ***** on careers. The set is out of the world. The storyline. The dancing. The car scene. The printer scene. The driving with her heels. The last bed scene. Her last sauna close up shots screamed "I AM THE QUEEN OF POP AND YOUJ MOTHER****ERS WILL MOTHER****ING DEAL.
Favorite Scene: ^

That was my take y'all. It's the weekend over here & I'm sick today – I can't go out – this was my only shot at having fun for the night. Sorry for the horrid English, it's not my Mother tongue.
Now it's YOUR turn to rank & discuss. Or just rank if you can't be arsed.
I Wanna Go is like my least favorite video of hers. Sure it's not bad but it's just so over the top corny and it's not working for me. I realize how some people might like it tho. For me it's something like
