Gui has SEVERAL cough*Inside Out*cough issues when it comes to honoring his now long gone Stan Card.

I just can't take them seriously

i can't. Till the world ends sneak peak is at the Popular Music Section on youtube and has million views already while the official one is BLOCKED in some countries.

Cobato

I like it.

SarahWalker

Is it true that the vid is blocked in some countries? I never understood why VEVO would block their own videos, I can't view Baby One More Time and Oops on her channel. Wouldn't they want as much views as possible?

Alexz

It's blocked in Germany.

They have their own version of YouTube. Sony Germany was promoting the video on their site last night.

Remember when Britney Spears threw a sweaty, dirty dance party in an unfinished apartment and slinked around wearing underwear over her pants in 2001's "Slave 4 U"? Well, the party is back, and it's as dirty as ever in the clip for "Till the World Ends," which premiered on Wednesday (April 6).

As befits the song title, the video takes place during the apocalypse, on December 21, 2012. Spears takes her party underground, beneath the sewers of an anonymous big city, somewhere in the world. As the buildings crumble around them and fiery masses fall from the sky, all Britney and her pals want to do is flirt and dance.

The video was shot in Los Angeles in mid-March, and though Spears complained to us about the "grimy and gross" shooting conditions in a dank warehouse, her energy never wavers in the finished product.

Directed by Ray Kay (Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga) and choreographed by Brian Friedman (who has worked with Britney throughout this current Femme Fatale era), the director's cut of the video is a sexy mash-up of Spears doing what she does best: groping half-naked guys, giving the camera bedroom eyes and being sassy in a number of leather jackets and skintight bodysuits, including a red one that seems to be a nod to her Martian Queen catsuit from "Oops!... I Did It Again." She smiles big and bright for the camera, and then looks sultry as she prances around and tosses her hair about like some dystopian siren. A closer look at her frisky pop-and-lock moves will be further explored in a choreography cut of the video to be released later on.

While Spears spends much of the party seemingly happy to be away from the dangers of the apocalypse outside, eventually she emerges to a world that didn't end, smiling as the sun bathes her in its warm glow.

Britney Spears may have flopped with her live performance that aired on Good Morning America last week, but the pop star has rebounded via the medium that made fans flip for her in the first place: the music video. Watch Spears' racy new clip for her smash single "Till the World Ends."

Spears' "World Ends" takes all the elements of classic Britney videos (scantily-clad dancers, tightly executed choreography, ridonkulously sequined outfits, and pouty, overly sincere close-ups of Spears) and places them in an apocalyptic, end-of-days scenario.

The art direction hews a little too closely to the grimy favela locale of her "I'm a Slave 4 U" video, and editing sleight-of-hand makes Spears look as if she can still throw down on the dance floor (she can't). But you gotta award bonus points for that simulation of a sweaty S&M orgy — who would've ever thought Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted" video would have such lasting impact? -- and Spears is probably the only star who could make popping out of a street manhole look hot.

Britney Spears' new music video, "Till the World Ends," premiered online today. This time, the pop empress sets the stage in a bleak, dystopian future (December 21, 2012, to be exact; things changed that much?). In this setting, humanity's will to survive the End of Time manifests itself the only logical way it can: In dance.

(More on TIME.com: Do you hold Britney's product shilling against her?)

The smash single, off her latest Billboard-topping album, Femme Fatale, is a thumping, Euro-trance inspired dance number heavy on the Auto-Tune, with a triumphant call-and-response chorus that's not so dissimilar from a number of today's top 40 tracks.

The difference here? Clearly, it's Britney herself. Her wardrobe shifts a few times — most notably at 2:40, where she first dons a Pariah-like red, studded bodysuit (a nod to "Runaway"-era Kanye?) — while everyone else contrasts her in pitch-black Rick Owens inspired throwaways (while still dancing like there's no tomorrow). The video's sweaty, at times blinding, yet undeniably enjoyable, adopting many of its key elements from Britney's coming-of-age "I'm a Slave 4 U." This time, though, there's buildings crumbling.

Watch till the end for a sort-of surprise ending that NewsFeed won't give away. But let's just say that there'll be dancing for another day.

This space has been sorely missing pop posts, so let's start Wednesday with an Apocalypse-Fun face-melter — Britney Spears' new video, "Till the World Ends." Spears' comeback hasn't been earth-shaking, but it has been sneakily effective, thanks to the surgeon-precise hands behind the boards (Dr. Luke and Max Martin did this song and the excellent, dubstep-informed "Hold It Against Me"). And "Till the World Ends" adds Ke$ha (as a songwriter) into the fold, a star whose sleazy persona chips away at good taste until you realize she's the reason the party feels so right. Ke$ha's touch is all over "World," from her icy vocal inflections to the clipped "oh-oh-oh" chorus to the dirty talk ("Get you off with the touch, dancing in the dark"). Britney is merely the marionette, a costume she'll happily wear to reclaim relevance. The Ray Kay-helmed video is typical 2011 party-starter — sweaty bodies, futuristic DJ-gear, well-timed faulty sprinkler system — but it captures the track's raging mood perfectly. If the world is really ending next year, we should keep a close eye on Britney. We're going to want to be wherever she's gyrating.

As her new No. 1 album Femme Fatale can attest, nobody does dance-pop quite like Britney Spears.

And after a series of sneak peek teases, the Britster finally let loose this morning with the first of two planned music videos for "Till the World Ends" (the second will feature Spears' own choreography), and let's just say, it's a little, well, dirrty. Christina will be so proud!

So, incidentally, will be whoever conceived the idea for her 2001 "I'm a Slave 4 U" video, which ticks many of the same boxes, and to which the video has already drawn comparisons—sweaty dance party? Check! Leather-clad pulsating dancers? Check! World awash in eerie (yet flattering!) golden light? Check!

Still, nothing wrong with a little nod to vintage Britney. Plus, sweaty dancers in underground tunnels pulsing and writhing in sync to the music? Seems like as good a way as any to survive the apocalypse.

Quote:

http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment...e_world_e.html

In the always-apt words of Cher Horowitz, "Not a total Betty, but a vast improvement." The second video off Britney Spears's Femme Fatale, for the Ke$ha-penned banger "Till the World Ends," tries hard not to make the same mistakes as the inadvertently depressing "Hold It Against Me." There's more dancing — though it's still largely arm-related — and much, much more smiling. The smiling works, a sweet insta-fix for dead-eye (though it does conjure an imaginary scenario in our minds wherein someone is standing just off-camera yelling at Britney, "Smile! Smile! Smile more. Okay, now really Smize!"). The whole video supposedly takes place on December 21, 2012 (the day the world ends in Roland Emmerich movies and on the Mayan calendar) in an underground club one can only access through a manhole. Down in the thumping, subterranean hot spot everyone is gyrating around in a pretty dead-on imitation of the "I'm a Slave 4 U" video, with less sweat but a similar tendency to sexily twitch en masse. When the world finally does end, it's with a big, bright light and some arty earth shaking — the neurotic in us got intimations of a nuclear blast, but then Britney climbs out of the manhole, into the sunshine, smiling with her mouth open.
