Britney Spears Fought For ‘Oops! … I Did It Again’ Red Catsuit

MTV reports Britney Spears had everyone buzzing after releasing several sexy videos from her debut album, including the pop-tart clips for ” … Baby One More Time” and “(You Drive Me) Crazy.” So when Britney released the first video from her second album for “Oops! … I Did It Again,” she decided not to mess with a good thing and once again worked with frequent collaborator Nigel Dick, who this time reinvented Spears as a sexy, otherworldly vixen.

” ‘Oops!… I Did It Again’ was the first single from her second album, so there’s definitely the sense that this is Britney’s second album,” Dick told MTV News about the expectations surrounding the video’s release in 2000.

Like the concepts for her earlier videos, Britney also had a very clear idea of what she wanted for the now iconic “Oops!” clip. “This whole idea was my idea,” she told MTV in 2000. “I was like, ‘I want to be on Mars, dancing on Mars.’ ”

But it seems that the pitch she gave Dick at the time was even more specific than just dancing on Mars. ” ‘I want to be in a red jumpsuit. I want to have a really cute spaceman, but there can’t be any rockets,’ ” Dick said, recalling Spears’ request for the now-unforgettable red-latex catsuit. “There was another catsuit, actually, which was fantastic, which I loved, and the night before, I was told that Britney hired this guy that worked with Michael Jackson,” the director said. “And so we’re going to use that catsuit. So that’s the catsuit.”

Spears revealed that there was a bit of a freak accident on the set. “There was a camera, and there was an overhead shot, and they were filming me and the camera fell,” she said. “And it kind of knocked me out, and there was drama … but it was fine.”

Another key part of the song, when Britney starts talking about “Titanic,” posed a bit of a problem for Dick, but it wasn’t one Spears felt she needed to deal with. “There’s a bit about the Titanic in the middle, and I was like, ‘What are we going to do about that?’ ” he recalled, laughing. “And she says, ‘Don’t worry. You’ll sort it out.’ ”

In 2000, Spears talked about why the video needed to be effects-heavy. “It’s really futuristic. It’s going to be the first video that I’ve done to have a lot of special effects,” she said. “I think it’s more mature. It’s edgier. It’s funkier. It’s fun.”

Britney Hits Back At Media

Britney Spears has hit back at critical media reports of her Circus tour, saying she came to Australia for her fans.

The pop star arrived in the country last week amid controversy over her lip-synching stage performance, and soon faced reports that disappointed fans walked out of her opening show in Perth.

Spears has been keeping a low profile since arriving in Melbourne earlier this week, but she responded to the criticism today.

“I hear there is a lot of controversy in the media about my show,” Spears said in a statement.

“Some reporters have said they love it and some don’t. I came to Australia for my fans!”

Spears is due to play the first of three sold-out shows in Melbourne on Wednesday night, and has been indulging in some retail therapy.

“Went shopping on Collins Street yesterday and got a lot of my Christmas presents. Melbourne is beautiful. Can’t wait to see more. -Britney,” she wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.

Aussie DJ Havana Brown, who is touring with Spears, said she is surprised by the savaging the pop princess has received here.

Brown said there was no negative reaction from fans and the media about lip-synching and lacklustre performances in Europe, where they toured before Australia.

“I think it’s quite well known that she has lip-synched in the past. I don’t think it’s any surprise to anybody,” Brown told AAP.

“There was nothing like that in Europe. I think everyone knew what they were in for, and I think everyone should know here as well.

“I’m not quite sure what the fuss is about.”

Brown was personally chosen by Spears’ father and manager to open the Circus tour in Europe and Australia.

The Melbourne native gets the crowds warmed up for Spears each night and then sits back to enjoy the spectacle.

She said there was an “incredible response” at the first two shows in Perth, and she hoped Aussie fans would make up their own minds about the concert.

“It’s sad. I want people to be positive about her – she’s doing so well, and she’s looking so good, and the show is amazing,” she said.

“I want everyone to make their own opinion, rather than be persuaded by what’s been in the media.”

100 Angry Fans Leave During The Middle of Britney’s Concert

LA Times reports Words of warning to all singers: Australia does not appreciate lip-syncing one bit.

Australian critics and fans have blasted Britney Spears for lip-syncing on her Circus tour.

Now John Mayer, who is promoting his own album in Oz, is getting into the mix.

He tweeted: “If you’re shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you.”

Find out the syncing scoop:
About 100 angry fans reportedly stormed out of Britney’s Friday concert in Perth, saying they were disappointed by her performance – and lack of singing — during her show.

Spears also gave Perth fans a generic welcome, never mentioning their city’s name.

“What’s up, Australia?” she asked from the stage. “How you feeling tonight? It’s so good to be here tonight. Your country is beautiful.”

Politicians in three Australian states – Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales – have now called for new laws to force music promoters to disclose whether a concert will be live or lip-synced.

3 Becomes Britney’s 3rd #1 Song!

Billboard reports Britney Spears becomes the first artist in over three years to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, to be released tomorrow (Oct. 15), as “3″ opens at the pinnacle of the chart. Her new track, a racy paean to the joys of three-way sex from the upcoming hits set “The Singles Collection,” due Nov. 24, shifts 255,000 downloads in its first week of release, also propelling it to No. 1 on Digital Songs. The title also jumps 38-25 on the Pop Songs chart and debuts at No. 49 on Radio Songs/Hot 100 Airplay, which ranks songs based on airplay audience on all radio formats.

“3″ is the first title to debut at No. 1 since Taylor Hicks’ “American Idol” victory song “Do I Make You Proud” did so on the chart dated July 1, 2006. In fact, the last four songs to open at No. 1 were all “American Idol”-related. Prior to Hicks, Carrie Underwood’s “Inside Your Heaven” (July 2, 2005), “I Believe” by Fantasia (July 10, 2004) and Clay Aiken’s “This Is The Night” each debuted at No. 1. The last non-”Idol” song to open at No. 1 was Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” on Nov. 14, 1998. “3″ is Spears’ third Hot 100 No. 1. Her debut single “…Baby One More Time” spent two weeks at No. 1 in 1999 and “Womanizer” spent a sole frame at the top, exactly one year ago this week, on the chart dated Oct. 25, 2008.

Billboard Talks About 3

Britney Spears is making the most of her sex symbol status, again. This morning (Sept. 29), the one-time Disney Channel child star whose personal life has at times eclipsed her musical output, premiered “3,” a new single about the pleasures of polyamory, on New York radio station Z-100. The song goes to radio everywhere today and is part of “Britney Sears The Singles Collection,” a hits compilation due Nov. 24 on Jive.

Produced by Swedish hitmaker Max Martin (Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson), “3″ finds Spears singing about the racy subject of a ménage a trios with her signature coy delivery. “Three is a charm, two is not the same,” Spears coos seductively on the verse. “I don’t see the harm, so are you game?”

“Britney Spears The Singles Collection” marks 10 years since Spears released her breakthrough debut album, “…Baby One More Time,” which spent 103 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold 10,554,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Two versions of “The Singles Collection” will be released: a standard one featuring 17 of Spears’ biggest hits along with “3,” and an “ultimate fan box set” with all 29 of her singles, a DVD of her music videos, and a booklet featuring classic images.

Spears wrapped the second North American leg of her “Circus” tour on Sept. 27 in Las Vegas.

Yoko Ono “World Was Not Fair To Her”

John Lennon’s 76-year-old widow thinks that Britney Spears has came a long way and thinks the pop star deserves more respect according to Us Magazine.

The widow, Yoko Ono told Us at the ThreeAsFour Homage in NYC that: “I think that the world was not fair to her, and they’re just using her and not dignifying her.” She adds: “I think she’s a survivor and she’s doing very well.”

Spears, 27, has been in the limelights in a negative way with her bizarre psychotic behaviors, drug use, and a custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline over her two sons, Sean Preston, 4, and Jayden James, 3.

Now, the pop star has remain her composure and is working on her sixth album, Circus’ sold-out international tour.
