Has Britney Spears become a store attendant?


This is my conclusion after watching her last video. Is she trying te sell us something?

The name of the song is Criminal, and it is the 4th single included on the album Femme Fatale. With this work we can say, that finally,  Britney is back selling many copies. With her previous work called Circus, she had already advised she was about to come back. Before that she was lost, maybe in translation, like the movie, although the songs that she published in that stage of her life are probably the best in her career. But at that time she was famous for many other things besides her songs. And about 3 years ago, with Circus,  she decided to make herself over with all her strength, because if you are going to come back, you´d better do it that way, if not, then stay at
home shaving your head.

But the thing is that she is back and totally involved in the pop scene again. The 3 previous singles: Hold It Against Me, Till The World Ends and I Wanna Go were very electronic compared to what we are used to from her. I had never heard these electronic beats in her songs. But with this one she is back with that "never been fucked " (aka virginal) voice that made her famous.

But lets get to the video. Are you running a department store? I counted 4 differtnt products on it. This Product Placement technique is not new, and is used often, but 4 products in 5 minutes... it is too much. Just in the beginning while she is in the toilet, there are 2 of her perfums. I´ve never met anyone who uses it. You can say "Mmm I like the way you smell", and she can answer "It is Dior, Chanel, Armani", but Britney....???

Anyway, in this video she is dating a guy who underapprecieated her and she leaves him after kicking his balls becuse she meets a buddy. Then she falls in love and runs away with him on a motorcycle. He uses a Swarovsky watch, I get it after seeing it for at least 6 seconds in a main frame  He is a  bad guy with a large and horrible fake tattoo on his back (Britney probably had to wash her hands several times beacuse of ink after all those hugs). With him, she is having sex all the day long, and also holds up a store. And they get away in car obviously, but not any car. It is a Citroen DS3. The camera shows the car from the front to the back, just in case you want to buy one.

One more thing Britney. There is no need to dance in all your videos. We already know you are an excellet dancer, but in this case, the song has very slow beats, so your movements make you look...retarded... Min 1: 57 and 4:28.4:35
