After its premiere on MTV and Vevo.com last night, I am left screaming, "What is up with this video??????" The entire Milky Way (and beyond) knows my love for Ms. Toxic, but seriously...HUH? I'm not going to go into detail but for a few points. While not originally a huge fan of the single, I definitely favor it over its visual counterpart. Pros:
-It's a new Britney video
-The end scene, where Cher has apparently lent Britney & her dancers the Burlesque stage
Cons/Confusions:
-Britney fighting herself-why is this happening in the first place and what does it have to do with holding it against me because you/I feel like paradise?
-Britney fighting herself-clearly neither Brits received training for this sequence from Tony Horton's KenpoX
-The child's pottery paint? I guess Britney & Willow Smith traded paint sets at a recent playdate
-The dancers' faceless masks, the TV set scenery, the nonsecretive and never ending barrage of product placement (Lady Gaga's was just funny in Video Phone), the quit cut-to of the ...One More Time video (where did THAT come from???)
Overall, I was very confused from beginning to end...well, at least until the aforementioned Burlesque stage scene.
