What is your favorite Britney video? This will be shaped into a future comp, but bare with me as we are taking baby steps, since the "least favorite single" competition is still very much underway.

Some rules.

- Pick ONLY one video.
- Provide a YouTube link (preferably embedded) with your choice.
- Once a video has been picked, it is no longer available for you to choose.
- Try to provide WHY that video is your favorite, or I WILL hold it against you~

GODSPEED. And remember "It's Britney Bitch."

Xx

MY NOMINATION: WOMANIZER

Posted by: Leonardo 26th September 2014, 09:37 PM

Oh and my reason: The black bob wig and the choreography.

My nomination would be Womanizer but if I have to choose another one because that one has already been used then

Womanizer: The outfits, the hair, the theme of the video, the car, just everything about it
Toxic: That plane scene is just iconic and one of my favourites ever

UGH this is HARD!

But I'm going for...



Reason: Because everything about it is just iconic. From the outfits, to the dance routines. It IS one of the most perfect pop videos of all time, imo.

I wanna mention 'Everytime' too. That video is just so damned good! It's like a mini-tv movie. It's brilliantly haunting and serves the song so, SO well. Probably the most perfect song/video combination of all time, for me.

My NOM: MY PREROGATIVE



REASON: That storyline, that darkish look, THOSE BED SCENES

Posted by: HausofKubrick 27th September 2014, 11:52 AM

Part of the reason the song is my favourite too. The retro manganess / FIERCEney. All of the 'Blackout' videos are incredible but this is her most unique and arty.

LOL at the shade.

Posted by: Insomnio 27th September 2014, 08:28 PM

It's a tough decision but I would say "Stronger" because I love her dance moves with the chair. I really like that fact that she has a dark video too.

Posted by: Tyler~ 27th September 2014, 11:53 PM

Bal Stans for all things 'Break The Ice', sis. So, that's not shade.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 28th September 2014, 12:03 AM

Yeah i didn't get that

I've told people it's my favourite video in the past too and got "Lol" in response. Is there something i'm missing because the video is SO fun from what i can see??

Posted by: Tyler~ 28th September 2014, 01:05 AM

I think it's an amazing video as well. I love the portrait style it was done in and it's executed extremely well.

Looking back it was almost a "get ready because I'll be back bitches." Hence why I think the "to be continued" tag was added to the end. It signified that. I mean has no one thought that "Womanizer" continued that character, which started with '"Toxic"?

Not great for an animated video, just great.

Posted by: Jonjo 28th September 2014, 01:09 AM

I love you <3 The chairography is EVERYTHING!

Posted by: Tyler~ 28th September 2014, 01:11 AM

Also, the Blackout videos ARE brilliant!

Was "Gimme More" brilliant on purpose? Nah, but it perfectly represented that era and song. You want more of the fall? Here's me as a stripper just being a hot mess. It was raw, real and handled exclusively by (a manic) Britney. Now that Britney is healthy, happy and in a great place, I LOVE that video.

love this video!

Posted by: Addy K!ng 28th September 2014, 03:43 AM

Yes Boyan, I love that too.

I nominate OIDIA.



Just for the sake of being so modern and ahead of the time. Oh also, "But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end", "Well baby, I went down and got it for you', 'Ohhh, you shouldn't have" is iconic on it's own.

Lucky



Two Britneys is better than one.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 28th September 2014, 10:25 AM

All of this. Fair enough at the time they might have been disturbing/off-putting/not what people wanted, but looking back she was making POP HISTORY especially with the 'Gimme More' video. They defined a huge moment in her career and pop for the noughties more generally and are easily some of her most "iconic" videos looking back now.

They're probably not "technically" her best, but for what they stand for and how representative they are of that era and everything that went with it, they make up a large proportion of my favourite moments.

CRAZY NOT NOMINATED YET ARE YALL CRAZY?



Probably her most iconic video along with BOMT, OIDIA and Toxic.

The lolita look, the 90s sport outfits, the choreography, the setting, ADRIAN GRENIER, MELISSA JOAN HART, THE "STOP!" MOMENT, OMGGG

Posted by: Jonjo 28th September 2014, 03:55 PM

Your best post ever? I think so. Your reasoning is perfect <3

Posted by: Euphorique 28th September 2014, 04:31 PM

Easy peasy. Insane choreo, sexy outfits, and just overall a great remix video.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 28th September 2014, 04:42 PM

This is so much of my childhood wrapped into video form. Britney and 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' were EVERYTHING for me for a good few years so for them to be TOGETHER was too much.
