All Closer got was a lyric video and it has over a billion views You talk as if all music videos are just lyric videos. Yes, MM could have gotten a lot more exposure with a controversial visual like the original video. Link to comment

Make Me was already done and had several negative updates on radio before the VMA night. The beginning of August was when the song needed a push and they released an uneventful video which didn't have an impact on the song's iTunes position and its streaming. It's that simple.

Look at the update literally two days before the VMA. It was already being dropped. 250+ spins down from its 5051 spins peak. http://kworb.net/radio/pop/archives/20160826.html Had they released the original video when it was time for it, it would have been at least a moderate hit.

bonda Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 For me it is impossible even for Bteam to be THAT stupid to release this Disney **** instead of LaChapelle video. It's like somone wanted her not do well with this album Link to comment

This. Tbh I like Make Me, I don't know what went wrong. I don't think it would be a #1 or a steady hit, top 10 most likely. Link to comment

Barajas Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 for me the problems were of course the video.. and timming... Original video + Lanch of the song in the BBMAS (After some introduction hits) = success... They really screw it Link to comment

I agree with it being the choice for a first single though. This tbh, it was the perfect first single and actually someone I work with who is not at all a Britney fan told me she heard it on the radio and liked it......what killed it was waiting to promote it and the whole video debacle......I do think that both videos were messes though....the original looked so messy and too gay for the gp and the one we got was just horrible because they had no time to come up with a decent concept!

DJSLAYZEE Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's a great first single. It's chill but dancey, I mean if she released Clumsy people would call her a one trick pony with EDM/Electro. The video messed it up badly, it looked cheap (you can make videos with no money look good with a good director), too many ads like literally distracting, made no sense, and was immature. LaChapelle and Larry must have gotten in a big argument cause I doubt Britney would want to waste a bunch of days worth of shooting. They are both divas but I feel like Larry just gets stubborn and makes people not want to work with Brit. It deserved a grown up video Link to comment

And too gay but not in like Madonna Vogue kinda way, it just looked like a gay **** film set Literally could've just made a video of the solo scenes in her undies and her dancing with the guys in the warehouse. One guy could wear an OrangeTheory shirt lol. But despite all that it did ok! Link to comment

Yeah it did look like a gay **** or an Andrew Christian promo video, Idk I hated the beginning of the video too because Britney wasn't even in it it's her dancers working out which is random and the whole TV thing idk......I kind of believe Larry when he said it didn't make sense and I think they had to pull the plug because of something with the label/a sponsor they got. You're right though, with a shitty video and no promo for a month the song still managed to be #1 on itunes and a top 20 hit which is honestly not bad at all for someone who's not a fresh new artist/35 years old Link to comment

Britney's lead singles rarely or never re-peak after the 1st week. After all, she's a legendary act that relies a lot on visuals. Link to comment
toy soldier. Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Literally ANYONE I know likes MM, even people who don't usually like Britney. The problem was the stupid video and late promo, which is a shame because it could've easily been of Brit's biggest hits. Womanizer/Gimme More level for sure. Link to comment
