Miss American dream since I was seventeen

Gosh, I'm such a music dork...

Britney Spears's new video for "Piece Of Me" just came on TV over here and I got wayyyyyy too excited about actually getting to hear Robyn's voice on American television.

In other news, the video is such an improvement over the one for "Gimme More" (it actually looks like a real music video made by someone aware that she was being filmed, for one). Reactions from people besides me included "wow, she looks so much better than the tabloids are always making out" (she genuinely looks great during the scenes with the purple dress), "she's really going after the papers with this one, isn't she?", and some laughs, as well as a generally positive reaction to the song.

I have pretty positive feelings towards Blackout, even if I don't think every song is great, but I've not really been much of a fan of "Piece Of Me." I think it might be one of those songs that becomes a single and I really start to "get," though.

I just watched it on YouTube and I think it's great! I love the effects with the magazines and newspapers...

Of course, my boyfriend sat there watching Britney dancing and goes, "What a lazy ho." We're two peas in a pod.

Ha ha--I totally know what you're feeling! With the different feelings on artists, anyway--I was just listening to "you're not allowed to put on a Blake Lewis song after the Aerosmith" yesterday (so of course I put on Britney Spears' "(You Drive Me) Crazy" instead). I really like the video too!

The video is one hundred times better than the "Demi Moore" clip, and a little bit more stomachable too.

It's not her best video ever, but it actually fits in as a video by a real popstar in the context of watching it on TV with a bunch of other videos, which is so nice to see. And I still can't hear "Gimme More" without giggling because of that--I hope you're happy ;)
