Were You A Fan Of The Perfume Music Video?

[Markoct]

No  Ive only watched it once. And thats bad, there are even Gaga MVs That ive seen more than once 

[pancake]

noooo

shes too earnest and fake in it

no no

[Urbanney]

No, it’s boring and doesn’t feel like a Britney video. It feels like a generic music video by any other artist of that time. Plus, the original video looked like it would’ve been interesting but instead we got a boring cut.

I can't believe this is already a decade old next year.

We are so old.

It makes me sad 

[Daniela.tomasseli]

It was a big messy disappointment since we were expecting so much more. i am glad Britney got to make out with that Norwegian hottie tho 

[xkhingx]

i love the original, not the final 

[Duff Man]

The fact is joseph kahn stated that he was pissed the whole concept got scrapped.. and the video we got is mere scenes from the original   

"I put her in jeans, I didn’t have her in her big chunky boots, dressed her down and made it look like an anti-Britney. The first part of the video is that, but then you find out she’s killing people and she’s an assassin and halfway through the video, you find out the guy she’s having this relationship with… she has to kill him. It’s like ‘La Femme Nikita.’ And then I actually break the song, and there’s a moment in the middle where she’s about to kill him, and she doesn’t. Here’s where it gets a little weird… it turns into a metaphor. Suddenly you see another girl come into the picture, and that girl takes her place. Britney the character doesn’t kill him, and the second half of the video is her waiting in a motel room. Then we actually see the two characters that she didn’t kill go on and get married and have a life. Meanwhile, the people that hired her basically come in and beat the **** out of her, and we see her suffering as these other people thrive. She gave that gift to him. In my head, it was a metaphor for how… in certain types of relationships you may love someone so much and they will never know that gift that you gave them. It’s that type of love. To me it’s almost like how I view the idealistic version of what women do. Women, if they’re great mothers, they give so much to their kids, give so much to their partners, and they feel so much pain. This beautiful pain that I think traditionally is a female thing, and I wanted to express it as a metaphor. You would see Britney get hurt while the gift that she gave of life keeps moving on.

In many ways she did sacrifice her life… she became one of the most famous people on the planet and couldn’t have seen that coming at 16.
Absolutely. For me, it was kind of a meaningful expression. I think it was subconscious of how I viewed Britney, cause I’ve been through that journey with her. I was there when she was like 19-years-old and literally fresh off the boat… this perky, spunky kid from Louisiana, super smiley. Then I saw her during her ‘Toxic’ phase right before all the **** hit the fan. Then I saw her at ‘Womanizer’ which was only seven months after all that craziness came down. On the fourth go around, I just saw this woman. This woman who was damaged and beautiful but still willing to give love and still wanting to be loved. The only version that I could do was that video. That was the honest version for me, and I thought I had them on board… honestly, it’s hard to talk about the details of that stuff. Things just don’t work out. Sometimes you overshoot. Maybe the message was too complicated. Maybe the imaging was not right because she’s going to do a Vegas show and who needs this really dark video being popped out there?"

Still love reading this ...it paints a cool image of the vid for me

[Alestaos]

I thought it was great tbh, i do love the song though. Its definitely one of the best highlights from Britney Jean. 

 

[Cheshire-B]

The video we got was a bit boring because it was actually two times the same scenes for such a little plot twist. The original would have been better I guess with more scenes and more action.

But honestly I really liked it because the song is very mature and beautiful and Britney looked so so good and stunning in the video ! She always look awesome and georgeous wearing tight jeans !

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

The video that was released is fine, it’s pretty and has a story that’s simple and easy to understand. But the unreleased version seems sooo great. I would have loved to see it. Britney works great with edgy and a sometimes risky concept. I love that she’s not afraid to work and think outside of the box, her team though..  

[Louis-j]

It's just that the video was stripped of it's concept so it's a bit dull and the song is kinda meh.

I wish we had the original video.

[Cucumbers]

Yeah, it felt so dreamy and cozy.  It was like a little indie movie.  I wish Britney would take a small role like this.  It doesn't have to be a big hollywood blockbuster.  I think it would be a cute passion project she could even write and direct for fun.

[FullyDattAndDatt3full]

i love something about it, the video is beautiful at times.

but it was/is less than halfway to the fullest success

as we all know, we haven't seen the "other version"
and this version is charming at times but so underwhelming

it lives you wanting more , better,

[e_ffen]

I like the song and the single cover, the video is a no from me though. 

[floopy22]

No, can we please perfumigate that whole era! 

[G-unit]

It’s well-shot and she looks gorgeous, but it is kinda boring and I think the story is hella weak because they cut most of the video.

Had we not gotten the paparazzi shots we got of the original video that got scrapped, it wouldn’t have such a negative taste in everyone’s mouths.

THIS is what I’m hoping one day Britney and Joseph will give to the fans. He did say he has the original video locked away somewhere.
