Movie Reviews of Britney Spears - Greatest Hits - My Prerogative
Movie Review: All Of Britney's Amazing And Iconic Visual Masterpieces!
Summary: 5 Stars
The impact that Britney Spears has had on popular culture over the past six years is nothing short of phenomenal. Her music always goes to No.1 somewhere in the world, and with album sales of 65 million worldwide you can definitely see why. She's one of the biggest female stars in the history of the world and her status only seems to increase, seemingly day by day. Everyone has an opinion on her - you either love her or hate her. Luckily for her record label, millions love her, and that's nothing that the haters can take away.
Since the dawn of MTV, artists have noticed the power and influence that music videos can have on sales, most notably Michael Jackson and Madonna. Britney only continued this trend when she stormed onto the scene in late 1998 and the video to her debut single had the world talking. She created a buzz from that one video, which proves it's an excellent use of communication and promotion to the consumer market. This DVD, therefore, is a perfect look at Britney's video career and how visuals have helped define her as a woman and artist.
This DVD, "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative," is the perfect companion to the record of the same name. Some people say it's too early for Britney to release a Greatest Hits album because she's not had enough truly great hits, but the same can surely not be said for this DVD. It proudly boasts 20 smashing, iconic music videos in sharp DVD-audio quality from the past six years that have received millions of spins from music channels all over the world. These videos accompany Britney's massive hit singles and have definitely helped define her as a world class superstar, as well as cementing her in music video history as a natural when it comes to performing in front of the camera.
The DVD works in reverse order as the first video on the DVD is that of "My Prerogative," Britney's latest single and 13th UK Top 5 hit. The moment where Britney drives the car into the swimming pool is absolutely amazing and so classy - definitely a classic Britney video moment. From here on the videos just charge along, from the never-before-seen "Outrageous" featuring Snoop Dogg, to the controversy of the "Everytime" video. The static video to one of Britney's most popular songs, "Toxic," is here with all the sharp colour that made it such a visual feast at the start of 2004. There's too many videos to mention separately here, but the highlights include the four aforementioned videos, along with the Madonna-duet "Me Against The Music." The "Boys (CO-ED Remix)" video is also very visually appealing with its dark colours in green, black and blue. Mike Myers and Pharrell Williams also star in the video.
"I'm A Slave 4 U" is also another one of my favourite Britney videos because it was the first time Britney stuck two fingers up at Middle America and just decided to be herself. She is amazing in this sweaty, funky and sensual video. "Stronger" is also another amazing video with lots of black, whilst "Oops!...I Did It Again" features that now-iconic red catsuit that had so many older men hot under the collar! Who else could make a video about a female sexpot living on Mars who seduces an innocent astronaut, and still pull off one of 2000's biggest selling singles?! The video to "(You Drive Me) Crazy" had Middle America up in arms as they claimed Britney was exploiting innocent young girls into prostituting themselves! Yeah, whatever - if they're stupid enough to walk around with no clothes on, it's their own fault. Britney is an entertainer, and to dress scantily-clad is to appeal to the world. It's part of the job. Anyway, this video was damn hot and held me transfixed at her beauty.
And of course, who could forget the video to "...Baby One More Time?" By far the most famous video on this DVD, it swept through the world and propelled Britney to almost instant iconic status. The Catholic schoolgirl look was her own genius idea, and the rest is history. That a young, innocent 16-year-old girl could conquer the music industry in a few months was astonishing, and is something she will never come close to achieving, no matter how many albums she sells!
The other videos that feature on this DVD are "I Love Rock 'N' Roll," "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman," "Overprotected - The Darkchild Remix," "Overprotected (International Video)," "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know," "Lucky," "From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart," "Born To Make You Happy" and "Sometimes." They are all really cool videos in themselves, but not as good (in my opinion) as the ones I reviewed in a little bit more depth above.
The extra features on the DVD are also A+ in their content. You expect something extra when you buy a music DVD, but not this much! When you play the DVD and come to the main title menu, you can either watch the videos in their original format, or click the Alternative View button, which shifts angle and lets you watch 10 of the 20 videos in expanded functionality. The highlights include the different view of "Baby One More Time," the goofing around on the set of "Stronger," the karaoke version of "Toxic," the unseen clips of the "Outrageous" video where Britney injured her knee, and the acapella version of "I'm A Slave 4 U." All in all, I would say that this is not just an essential DVD for die-hard Britney fans, but an essential one for media students studying the art of the music video and for those who just want a perfect look at Britney's video career. It runs for a staggering 160 minutes! That's nearly three hours! Plus, the poster that comes free with it is really cool too. Buy this now!
