World Ends, Britney Survives in New Video
Britney Spears has had one of the most epic careers in pop. She gained childhood fame on the Mickey Mouse Club, and steadily rose to the top of the charts as a teen in the late ’90s/early ’00s. …And then she shaved her head, beat a car with an umbrella, was photographed recklessly with her kids and, perhaps most offensive of all, she got fat.
She’s attempted several comebacks since then, getting into shape (physically, emotionally, mentally), recording new songs and guest-starring on Glee. Today, her latest release Femme Fatale, and her newly debuted video, Til The World Ends, try to revive the legend of Brit-Brit…again.
MTV.com takes an interesting look at Spears, noting she is the “origin” of popstars, pointing out that today’s other famed pop artists (Katy Perry and the like) each have a different appeal that separate them from the original: Britney Spears. While it’s hard to tell if MTV is applauding or boo-ing Spears, they are definitely separating her from the other talents. Another MTV.com article looks at her video for Til The World Ends, touting its apocalyptic theme (set on 12/21/12) as the perfect setting for Britney to continue her comeback: Britney somehow survives the world’s end, emerging smiling and unscathed into bright sunlight.

Post a CommentBrit looks great. love her new song and video, but not so much her dancing. She does look stiff in the video, not sure what happened there.
songs pretty good, video concept genius, BUT i miss her old sick ass dance moves!! Where did they go?!?! either way, still love Britney Spears
I watch the video she did look stiff dancing.
toxic was her best time……she certainly is not as bouncy as she used to me.
I think it is great that she has survived all of the bad emotional/physical parts of her life and is still trying to make a come back. I like her a lot and wish her the best!!
Still like brit.
I gotta love Brit Brit.. grew up with her ever since she started her career. I love this new single better than her first. It’s a great workout song for me and I just watched her video too. Not bad. she does need to work on her dancing though.
nice!
The video is okay but what happened to her moves??? I saw her on Good Morning America last Friday and what the heck happened. She’s like stiff as a board. I love Brittney and all but can someone get her some Insanity classes or something please!!!
I agree! She looks so stiff and sad dancing
. I miss her old dance moves. Ladies, what’s your fave Britney video? I really loved Oops, I Did it Again or Stronger.
