There are also black and white scenes of her wearing a white leotard behind a foggy glass. She then appears wearing the leotard and glasses while surrounded by four female dancers wearing black outfits, hanging from a pole. In the chorus, she dances in front of a white wall with barcode-like light installations with six male dancers.

Alternate Cover: 2008 Blackout promo cover.

“Radar” is a song by American pop singer Britney Spears from her fifth studio album Blackout. The song was recorded in late 2006 and was planned to be the fourth single of the album, but the release was cancelled. It was later included as a bonus track on her sixth studio album Circus and released on June 23, 2009 by Jive Records as the fourth and final single from the album. The lyrics of the song refer to an attraction between the protagonist and a man, while she wonders if he knows what she is feeling. Produced and co-written by Bloodshy & Avant and The Clutch, “Radar” is an electropop song with usage of sonar pulses and synths.

“Radar” received positive critical appreciation, with most reviewers calling it one of Blackout’s highlights. The song peaked at number eight on the Swedish Singles Chart in 2008 and reached number eighty-eight on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 2009, becoming her twenty-second entry on the chart. In the music video, directed by Dave Meyers, Spears is an aristocratic woman, involved in a love triangle with two men, who are polo players.

Music video

The music video was filmed on May 27 and 28, 2009 at a private residence located just north of Santa Barbara, California, directed by Dave Meyers. In an interview, he told MTV that the music video was inspired by Madonna’s “Take a Bow”. He also wanted to experiment with the video and show a different side to Spears, “I thought, ‘It’s not the first single. Let’s be a little experimental and push to not have her around dancers,’ ” Meyers said. “I feel, I guess, that the videos are a chance for her to vocalize a sense of herself. The media tends to attack her, so I thought, ‘Let’s show the classy side of Britney and focus on a classy experience, very European-inspired.’ And she’s at the point in her career where I think this would be a nice step.” The video was officially released on July 2, 2009 on Spears’ official Vimeo account and website.

The video begins with Spears arriving at a polo club. She comes out from the car wearing a vest, jeans and sunglasses and starts singing while a man welcomes her. They walk past a barn, where another man wearing a wifebeater is sitting. They look at each other briefly and she starts to sing in a balcony, watching the second man with a pair of binoculars. At the end of the first chorus, the first man comes and puts a studded necklace around her neck, as a surprise gift. Until the end of the second chorus, we see scenes of Spears singing and watching the second man as he gets ready. When the bridge begins, Spears arrives at the match wearing a white dress and a large hat, a reference to a scene in the 1967 film adaptation of Anna Karenina. Spears looks at the second man and sings I got my eye on you, and I can’t let you get away. When the match ends, she leaves and the second man follows her. They flirt inside a hallway and leave. The first man notices her absence, walks into the hallway and sees her necklace on the floor. The video ends with Spears and the second man walking into the sunset.

Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone called it “Spears’ weakest video, said the idea was unoriginal and compared it to a “a 30-second commercial for one of Spears’ perfumes”.OK! said it was “posh” and gave the video a positive review, and said it was a nice departure from her recent revealing videos.

“Piece of Me” is a song by American pop singer Britney Spears, from her fifth studio album, Blackout. It was released on November 27, 2007 by Jive Records as the second single from the album.

It was also successful in clubs, reaching number one in various Dance Club Play charts, including those in the United States and Australia. It was also one of her most successful singles in the United Kingdom.

The music video featured Spears being photographed constantly by paparazzi and disguising herself in order to confuse them. The video won three awards at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

Music video

The music video was filmed on November 27 and November 28, 2007, at the exclusive Hollywood nightclub and restaurant, Social Hollywood. It was directed by Wayne Isham, who had previously worked with Spears in the international Pepsi commercial campaign in 2002. On November 30, 2007, the “Britney Spears Wants a Piece of You” contest was launched in which fans could make videos of “Piece of Me” themselves using MTV’s Video Remixer. The clips used images of Spears over the years, including interviews, red-carpet appearances and performances. MTV, Jive Records and Spears chose the winner, which aired on MTV’s Total Request Live on December 20. MTV premiered the video of “Piece of Me” on December 14. It currently holds a 4/5 rating on iTunes based on over 543 reviews as of August 25, 2008 and is also her best-selling music video. The video won Video Of The Year, Best Female Video, and Best Pop Video at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

The music video for “Piece of Me” follows a paparazzi theme. The clip begins with a group of paparazzi taking pictures outside a residential area. Spears exposes her bottom and wiggles it for all to see, while various blonde-haired girls (one of whom bears a deliberate resemblance to Los Angeles socialite Paris Hilton, one of Spears’s friend) are changing clothes, putting makeup on and playfully dancing. Spears shows up in front of a multi-colored, illuminated background wearing a brown-fur vest, black bra and destroyed jeans. Scenes with Spears tearing negative tabloid covers down and creating positive ones are interpolated in the video. Spears later joins the other girls who have changed into matching blonde-bob wigs, dark sunglasses, and black trench coats as they enter a car being hounded by paparazzi, a representation of Spears’ life. The girls make it to the party and exit the car in different clothes. Spears then holds up a magazine cover reading “It’s Britney, Bitch” and “Exceptional Earner.” Inside the party, a rogue paparazzi joins the girls in the bathroom, but Spears spots him at the end. The girls are seen back at the apartment watching an entertainment news program, in which the “Britney invasion” from earlier is reported. The final scene shows a close-up of Spears’ smirking.

Britney Spears – Gimme More

Britney Spears' Official "Gimme More" Single Cover.

“Gimme More” is a song by American pop singer Britney Spears from her fifth studio album, Blackout. It was released on September 27, 2007 by Jive Records as the lead single of the album. The song was written during Spears’ second pregnancy. Its lyrics feature racy content, and although they appear to be about dance and sex, they are a reference to the media and public always wanting more of her. “Gimme More” is backed with breathy vocals and up-tempo urban beat.

“Gimme More” received mixed reviews, with critics complimenting the song’s beat but highly criticizing the opening line. The song topped the Canadian Hot 100, and reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Spears’ fourth highest-peaking single in the US. The single reached the top five in many international charts and has been certified double platinum in Canada.

The single’s accompanying stripper-inspired music video also received media attention, with Spears’ pole dancing being panned by critics. On the other hand, the video was considered an improvement on her highly criticized 2007 MTV Video Music Awards opening performance.

Music video

Directed by first time director Jake Sarfaty, the music video was shot in a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles on July 19 and August 7, 2007. Sarfaty was handpicked by Spears, and the video was shot in two days. The production “was purely Spears’ ‘concept and her vision’”. It is a stripper-inspired video to fit the song’s racy content. The video’s light systems change from black and white with aura-like blue and pink hues to full blown color. The camera’s position always moves out-of-beat, giving the video a “raw and edgy look”. Spears features a tattoo on her biceps and dresses in all black. She wears a leather vest, a studded belt and skimpy panties over ripped fishnet stockings. “Gimme More” is the second video in which Spears sports black hair. The vest that Spears wore was inspired by the Royal Jelly show in Hollywood, CA. The back-up dancers are performers from the show itself, who wore the same uniform as they do in the show. Spears was inspired after she attended the show a few weeks before the video shooting.

The video puts Spears in two roles: as a brunette pole-dancing in a stripper’s pole, and a blonde version sitting at the bar with friends seemingly watching the strip tease while gazing at a mysterious man. Around the middle of the video, the brunette Spears takes off her top and uses it to cover her breasts; she continues to pole-dance, flipping her hair and occasionally dancing in a mirror. The blonde Spears keeps an eye on the brunette which Entertainment Weekly describes as “giddily staring at ‘stripper Britney’”, while stunned at others inside the club and continues on laughing.

The music video had its exclusive premiere in the iTunes Store on October 5, 2007, before other outlets slated for an October 8 release. It currently holds a 2.5/5 rating based on over 3,100 reviews. The iTunes version of the video was rotating on MuchMusic and VH1 a few hours before its premiere on MTV. On October 8, 2007, it was posted on MTV’s official blog, and premiered in Total Request Live’s exclusive world premiere slot at 3:30 p.m. It debuted on TRL’s chart at number eight on October 9. “Gimme More” opened at number thirteen on MuchMusic’s Countdown on October 13, 2007, peaking at number four on December 1. Earlier in the month of July 2008, the Music Video for Gimme More was deleted off of Britney Spears’ Official Channel due to unknown reasons, it has since been added back to the popular website. The music video has received 56.0 Million views on Youtube!

Britney Spears’ Official "Sometimes" Single Cover

“Sometimes” is the second single from pop singer Britney Spears, released from her debut album …BOMT during the second quarter of 1999.

The song was written by Jörgen Elofsson; he would go on to win a BMI Pop Award in 2000 in the category of Song of the Year for composing “Sometimes”. The song was produced by Per Magnusson & David Kreuger, and is written in B Major Spears’ vocal range runs from G₃ – D₅, running nearly two octaves.The track is a classic example of a pop ballad about love and its symptoms, as Spears declares “sometimes I run, sometimes I hide, sometimes I’m scared of you.” The song appears as #5 on Now That’s What I Call Music 3. During her Onyx Hotel Tour in Miami, Britney starts to sing the chorus of “Sometimes” then claims that she never really liked the song.

Music video

As with her previous single “…BOMT”, “Sometimes” was also directed by Nigel Dick. Shot at Paradise Cove in Malibu, California, Spears watches her love interest from afar, who is played by model Chad Cole. As he plays with his dog on the sand, Spears is seen on a lookout, by the pier and on a picnic blanket wishing she was there with him. The video also includes dance scenes with Spears and several others on the pier adorned in white. This video portrayed Spears as the girl next door, unlike the Lolita image portrayed in “…BOMT”. The video was first shot in February 1999, but was delayed after she injured her left knee and needed surgery. After recuperating, it was filmed from April 9-10, 1999.

There are two edits of the video. One features mainly beauty shots during the first verse, the second edit features more dancing footage from on the pier. The radio edit of the song was used for the video, it shortens the intro and removes an instrumental bridge towards the end of the song.
