Britney Spears’ career has been marred by lackluster live performances and public indignation with her lip-syncing but her new ‘Criminal’ video has proven that she is still one of the best visual entertainers of her generation. Filmed on the streets of London last month, the cinematic clip was directed by Chris Marrs Piliero.
Watch the ‘Criminal’ video below:
This video was certainly a captivating piece! Spears was bold and brazen in her role, and provided more excitement than she has done in any of her live showings during the last 4 years.
It is amazing how many people today claim that originality is impossible in the current era of Pop music yet some visual artists like Spears continue to experiment with new treatments. Indeed, this interesting twist on the otherwise banal Bonnie & Clyde theme confirmed that acts do not have to copy every move from previous productions.
Instead, they can find create ways to mix old concepts with fresh ideas. Beyonce could learn a lot from Spears.
love the way you speak the truth, trent, both on britney and also on beyonce.
beyonce could learn alot for real
but in closing

Ok..Nice video, but how is this sooo original??
Great video
This was very amazing. Like i’m in awe. The cinematography is what makes it original. Easily one of her best videos this era. I’m a Bey stan but i even know her flaws. so i do hope and pray after she drops her load she comes back with better concepts.
Retire the shade…you are becoming just like Sam…not a good look.
@KD Trent is NOTHING like Sam. That is a great writeup and he gave props and always gives facts. If anything Sam is trying to be like Trent but ends up sounding like a bitter bitch in the process.

Ok I am truly convinced now lol. The shade is mos def for hits lol.
SAM>>>>>>TRENT
TRENT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SAM
How could Sam be better than Trent when all Sam does is steal everything from this guy’s site? Miss Jia put him on blast for it the other day too
ANYWAY…I like the video. Don’t love it but it’s cute
I agree, the Trent’s shade is getting really old and annoying. I admire his writing style and also his criticism at times, but the growing shade is a little overbearing.
THIS IS BRITNEY’S BEST VIDEO SINCE TOXIC. SHE LOOKED SO ELEGANT AND ACTUALLY SHOWED EMOTION AND ENERGY IN THOSE POSES SHE WAS DOING DURING THE VERSES. LMAO @ HER GETTIN SMACKED THO ..THAT FELT WEIRD TO WATCH
She had some sort life in her eyes for once! We haven’t seen that in a while. The story and video itself were great as well.
if by best video you mean Brit Brit actually cared about how she looked, then yea. But let’s be real, there is nothing original about this video or the concept. It was just a nicely executed Bonnie & Clyde themed vid.
That stupid sad look again when she looks at the camera ! This and the “dance moves” aside, the video is ok, i guess
I don’t understand how this became another Beyonce-bashing site…smh oh well. Just when I thought there was a blog that didn’t need to bash celebs for hits…
Britney is still sexy even after all the issues and gossips.
