The Music video is nothing less than what is expected from one the biggest pop singers of our generation. The new release had the fire and rapture that Spears had lost these past years due to harsh media attention and public opinion. It also literaly had fire and light work that inhanced that dramatic features of the video. It captivated the audience not only by the sex appeal that was achieved by the revealing dark attire and ripped clothing, but also with the dance routine. The mass number of dancers along with Britney as the focal point was the biggest appeal to the music video because one can only imagine the training and deliverance it takes to achieve an affect to correalate the movement of the body with the music. The setting of the video was located in what seemed to be an empty warehouse falling to ruins. With the title "Till the World Ends", the audience can assume that the city will soon be demolished by an unkown factor, but the beat goes on and so does Spears.
Devo: Whip It
Devo, coming from the 80's, was a band unlike any other and from their "Whip It" music video, no bad will ever repeat them. It was random, eccentric, and carefree, but it worked. The video includes various ways in which people think of "whipping it"; from a group of cowboys to an older woman with a bowl of whip cream. The song itself is repetititve yet so catchy. The visuals are iconinc because who else could pull off black turtlenecks and energy dome headwear beside Devo?
Blake Shelton: Honey Bee
This is a the epitome of a summer good-feeling song. Its cliche setting of the country fields on a sunny day inhance the mood of simplicity and enjoyment. The lyrics are repetititive and it is easy for them to stay in your head for the rest of the day. The title "Honey Bee" plays a not so ironic role in the video because the girl who Shelton focuses on is selling honey and she captures his attention. She is a pretty girl and always smiling. Although not everyday can be as happy and lighthearted as this music video, for a minute or two, it takes the viewers worries away.
