Whenever we're in need of a pure pop song and video, we can always count on Britney Spears to save us from musical mediocrity. But it seems even Ms. Spears cannot resist the allure of more theatrical music videos being pioneered by the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and Kanye West. Her latest video, for new single "Criminal," trades pop dance moves and scenes for an actual storyline. Or what attempts to pass for one.
What da flying ****? Why do these idiots insist on ignoring Britney's videography? Are they really saying all she's done in the past is "dancing videos"? Lord have mercy.
