Britney Spears - Hold It Against Me [MUSIC VIDEO]

[myke]

Ok so the video has finally been released...

I don't know what to make of it, the paint bit makes me think of Willow Smith, loads of product placement, and the meaning I thought the song had has been totally removed by the video, it seems more of a 'just for fun' video. Nevertheless, it'll probably grow on me, different from what I was expecting.

It's amazing to see her dancing properly (i.e. more than just flipping her hair) again, she's definitely got most of her confidence back since the VMA incident. I personally love it and I'm not disappointed (which I thought I might be as it was hyped up so much!)

I can't really take Perez serious anymore after he went online sobbing after being punched left right and centre by one of Will I Ams people

is plentyoffish.com just going to be in every single pop video now

yeah the paint thing kind of reminded me of willow smith and i didn't really see the point, she looks hot though. i was kindd of expecting more cos they took so long with it, pretty average i think

OH but the fight scene was pretty sick

[Muct]

Anyone else notice the T.Vs around her at 1:15 & 3:13 show her other videos on them too?;O
But yeahh.. This video is one of her best in my opinion - it's just legendary!
Shame all the product placement kinda puts it down a little though;L

By the way, I listened to it all the way through just ONCE on YouTube and:

Not really what I was expecting but I like it. Not sure about the paint bit :S

[,Jess,]

I think some of her dancing in it is a bit awkward, shes defo not the same as she used to be. It's not a bad video but the way it got hyped up was over the top for what it is

[sammy]

I like the paint bit and where she's like destroying all her old videos etc, it's an alright video but the product placement kinda ruins it for me and turns it into more of a big advert than a video .

Not at all:

The asteroid crashing to Earth was how she began, with a huge bang and her becoming the centre of attention, further shown in shots of her surrounded by cameras. The "paint bit" as its being described on here is her going off the rails and losing it - her mental breakdown. The fight scene is her overcoming her inner demons and fighting to get to the surface, to be the woman she once was - which is shown once again during the last chorus. Britney is back!
