She looks much older and her dancing is tired. Retire, Britney.

I don't think this girl will ever get back what she once had. After all of these years since her breakdown, she still seems so out of it. confused

They were bigging up this video something fierce. I read that she was supposed to be doing gravity-defying dance moves that required a double and everything. Kind of put me in the mid of Janet's "Make Me", but with more color.

It looked nothing like Janet's Make Me video but I will say that shit is way better than this and that's not saying much falloff

But yea, sad how she was hyping this up for like a month as if she was about to slay the game. Chile bye!

People were saying Britney was finished when she was turning 20, now she is going to be 30 and she still tops the charts and people still talk about her like she is Willa Ford. Get real people OK you dont dig her i get it, im not into her early stuff but i gotta admit, the last few albums have been just about perfect, Blackout and In The Zone are two of the best. As far as the video, look, im not into all that dancing shit, thats what shows are for, to me her best video was TOXIC and that had almost no dancing, it was all a theme etc and characters, so safe the side show stuff for the stage, does she look different, yeah she's gonna be 30 she is aging, shes seen more at 30 then 10 people will see in there whole lives

You read wrong. There was a double for the FIGHT scene, not the dance scenes.

I like the vid enough, the part with her shooting paint everywhere, all over her old videos was great, very different. I like the weirdness of it, the two eyes in one eyelid, the lips, the dancers with no eyes, generally creepy stuff. My guess is she's playing an alien. Which means the dead look behind the eyes could be intentional.

Well excusez-moi lol . The lips reminded me of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".

she looks awful in some of the shots, but the video was well done as was the dancing...and that's coming from someone that criticizes her often

I always want to root for the underdog, even a millionaire sad sack underdog.

But she comes off like a real-life Lilly Von Schtup. She is much too young to be Lilly Von Schtup.

She looks tired, just going through the motions, just like whoever directed that clip.

Very uninspired.

Britney should take notes from Lilly Von Schtup. Even Lilly had a spark of life in her performance.

Really?

She pretty much looks the same as she did in the "Slave 4 U" vid, to me.

Britney definitely looks older and not in a good way either.

I do like Britney, but I don't enjoy watching her perform these days because she CLEARLY is not into it anymore.

It's so obvious.

Even in this recent video you could see that she was trying her best, but she's not into being a performer anymore. Even producer William Orbit recently said the same thing. He said he would not be suprised if Britney retired soon because she's not longer "into it".

Her passion and drive seems to be gone. Her record label needs to stop pushing her to make music and let her take a break or something.

Wow, she really can't dance anymore...

I liked alot of the visuals, but the product placement was WAY too much.

If they wanted to prove she could still dance.

A. Don't have a shadow over her face for 70% of the dancing! it makes it way to easy to assume its a double.

B. slower editing! the camera angles changed up so much that no choreography could have shined.

C. Actually have more dancing in the video than a few flashes!

Her eyes looks so dead... Like no fire or passion.

Also her face... is so airbrushed and something else.. I can't explain it. hmm Too much makeup?She used to look so fresh and beautiful.

I also don't like this song. It gets tired fast. The video was just... yea. It's alright.

I think the editing was so that the body double would not be as noticiable.

No she doesn't, she looks like a totally different person. Very unhappy.

I really like HIAM, but she doesn't look good in the video.

She was hot in "I'm a slave 4 u".

I really don't see what you guys are seeing. If anything, I'm seeing a bad makeup job, the eye makeup is a little odd - but to me she really does look the same as she did in the "Slave 4 U" vid.

.... Really?

U still can't see it? neutral

She looks so animated in the video closeups.

Also... everyone ages. It's normal.

Um no way. Britney looks much older and her eyes look dead in this video. She doesn't seem happy or into it.

Britney Spears’ four minute ‘Hold It Against Me’ video premiere that aired immediately before Jersey Shore averaged a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating and nearly 3.5 million viewers.

...Honestly? Yeah - I still don't see it. The only difference I'm seeing is the bad makeup job and that she doesn't have bangs like she did in the Slave 4 U vid.

I know everybody ages, but come on - she's not even 30 yet. Are you sure you guys aren't just looking for something that isn't there?

In terms of videos, the styling for her post-baby years are so much uglier. she used to set trends, but now confused but that happens to mostly everyone.

time flies.

Britney NEVER set trends...get that idea out of your head NOW! She took what others did and entertained and did a nice job, that's it.

Like I said, her makeup is awful in some of the shots, but the video was well done.
