After days of waiting, and two days of picture/video clip teasing on Twitter, Britney Spears finally released her much anticipated video to the number one single "3". Directed by Diane Martel, who has directed numerous music videos in her carrer, the video really is something differn't for Britney. As stated by the director herself "The Video Is Very Simple", and that is the honest to god truth. The video is chopped full of close ups with Britney playing with her hair, doing slow moves on a pole (no not a stripper pole) and dancing with Peter and Paul. Now of course, there was much anticipation on Britney returning some hard-core dance moves to the video. Was this true? Yes and No. The video does have two sequence's of Britney dancing with a number of male back-up dancers, but it is small compared to all the close up scenes. There is also a few seconds of Britney doing some hard-core solo dance moves, but most of them were edited out and replaced with more glamor shots. So in today's Britney era, there is some decent moves, but it does not compare to the "In The Zone" or "Britney" years. Which kind of kills us because we know Britney can still do some hard-core dancing (Mannequin Rehearsal Video Anyone?). Whatever is holding Britney back, we don't know, but what we do know is that this is her best video she has done since "Circus" in December of last year.
Good Things:
Some Decent Dance Moves
An entirely new concept for Britney
Looks Great (People who say she got fat again are pure crazy)
Bad Things:
Lot's of thing's seem to be cut from the video
To Many Glamor Shots
To Choppy
Overall you got a great video with some BAD editing. Word of advice to Jive and everyone on Britney's Team: HIRE A NEW EDITOR NEXT TIME!!!! The director however did great.
