A while back I offered all of you my personal review of the music video “Stupid Sh*t” by Girlicious. Now another video has caught my interest; “Womanizer” by Britney Spears.
It starts out with Britney, naked and glistening, laying on a bench in the sauna. I’m certain that I am not alone in the opinion that all music videos should start this way. It really lights a fire in your…attention span. Fortunately, my…attention span can be satisfied in under five minutes. So after that was out of the way I was able to watch the rest of the Britney Spears video.
We see Britney really stretching her acting abilities by making breakfast for her man. She must have really studied for this part because I almost believe that she could be capable of telling the difference between the frying pan and the spatula (although I’m not certain how she makes square eggs). Then her man has to go to work; so he stands up, stretches out his arms and his suit just flies on to him. This is the kind of technology I would really like to have in my home. I probably waste almost six or seven minutes every day getting dressed manually.
For the rest of the video we witness Britney in various clever disguises as she alternately assaults, seduces, photocopies and gives a lap dance to her man. I won’t even comment on how unsanitary it is to dry hump on top of a prep table in a kitchen or how dangerous it is to drive a limo with your foot. All of this is inter-cut with shots of her in the sauna. Then at the end, after he gets home, it appears that she is mad at him because he was being attacked by her all day.
Now, if you look up womanizer in the dictionary it says, “a man who likes many women and has short sexual relationships with them”. Therefore it is my conclusion that the video does not properly support the song seeing as this man is only with one woman the whole time. Sure she may be in disguise, but he probably thinks this is just some sort of role-playing. After all, having sex with Britney Spears for a few months straight must surely get a little dull (after the burning goes away that is) so why wouldn’t you spice things up a bit. Furthermore, the way she bumps and grinds with her male back-up dancers, I would suggest that she is a manizer.
