It’s crime time for Britney, bitch.
In her new video for “Criminal,” her fourth single from Femme Fatale, Spears acts out a romantic heist/robbery/forbidden love with real-life love Jason Trawick– complete with multiple naked sex scenes.
The good stuff: Spears looks great — the weave is working for her and the video plotline has a fun story that isn’t just Britney slithering against a wall.
Although it is a Spears video — there’s still a little slithering. Check out the maybe NSFW video below:
I kind of really like it. Sure, she’s not dancing, but honestly, after seeing some of her recent attempts, I think it’s best her team decided to just forgo dancing altogether and give her something else to do: Sexytimes with her boyfriend!
The pair engage in steamy shower sex that puts Spears’ solo steam-room escapades from “Womanizier“ to shame. The woman who gave us Britney & Kevin: Chaotic certainly isn’t going to be concerned about boundaries. I’m not loving the abuse going on at the beginning of the vid, but it does give us the set up to allow Spears to be her sassy self: “So you’re not working the street corner tonight I see.” LOVE.
Other highlights: The explosive finish of Trawick and Spears making out in the middle of a shootout was pretty awesomely good-girl-gone-bad for Spears. And you’ve got to chuckle at the blatant Britney perfume product placement at :40. Spot any other Spears-endorsed products?
What do you think? Where do you think “Criminal” ranks among her other vids? Is it her best off Femme Fatale? (This writer says Yes!!!)

mashed up with Madonna’s “Miles Away.”
America loves crap.
I have hope that I may also find the love of my life someday.
Such blatant nepotism. She is such a talented pretty girl!! Why is she dating that old ugly man?! Britney has such awful taste in men, first Kevin Federline and now Jason Trawick.
In what way is this nepotism?
Britney Spears is voluptuous, gorgeous, sexy and beautiful. She’s amazing. That woman is incredible. She is one well-endowed lady. I’d like to get my hands on her ‘ample assets’, if you’ll pardon the expression.
You’d be pepper sprayed and beaten by security before you even got a chance to molest your imaginary fantasy.
Britney Spears has an amazing figure. I just love her curves. She’s so shapely. She’s a great example to women around the country. She proves that curves really are sexy! She’s someone I really look up to. I think she’s really, really sexy and I just have so much respect for her.
You can’t be serious? She proves that curves are sexy? Britney Spears is not “curvy.” She may not be as ripped and defined as she was pre-children, but she is most definitely NOT curvy.
She is awesomely curvy. Toned in the right places, a lil thick in the right places:)
Thank you Mike.
No thank u Mike!
Love the video and the song! She’s so beautiful!
And i’d like to add that of course she isnt dancing, this isnt a dance song! And her dancing in the Hold It Against Me vid was fine. She doesnt dance like she used to, but she still dances better than most of her peers.
Exactly!
No, not so much. Plus, many non-dance songs have dancing in their videos. Nice reach, though – you are obviously a Spears apologist!
It isn’t a reach. This isn’t a song that requires dancing. I never did imagine that there would be much dancing in the video for this song.
Spears apologist? Please. You’re just a low-life internet basher. Many of her best videos feature zero dancing; Toxic, Everytime, Don’t Let Me Be The Last To Know, Piece Of Me, I Wanna Go..
I love this video so much!
Actually, probably the best video she has made in years! I liked it, definitely the best off of Femme Fatale.
Her “voguing” in the close up shots are really distracting. It’s a slower tempo song yet she’s moving her hands and arms like it’s a LMFAO song.
Aww reminds me of when Brit released the dark “Everytime” video. Dark video that gets people talking for a mediocre track. I really hope “Seal It With A Kiss” or “(Drop Dead) Beautiful” get released as singles …so many better tracks left besides “Criminal” not sure what the idea was here, but hopefully the song will go top 10 and they go for a 5th single.
beautiful direction of photography
she’s actually good in this role…
it looks posh and sexy
good taste
YOU GO GIRL YOUR MAN IS HOTTTTTTTTTT and you both have chemistry that is even hotter love the video
13 years after Baby one more time and she is still smoking hot! I like the song aswell, nice to hear her on something other then dance/ uptempo songs, it`s been a while.
I think I like this song, I would have liked the video better if her creepy bf wasnt in it.
One of her best videos, if not the best. Loved it.
If you actually think this is one of her best best video’s ever I seriously suggest you go back and look at some of her earlier video’s. Her boyfriend is so scaggy looking and this song isn’t that good plus the whole message of song and video is horrible.
Couldn’t watch it, it’s been removed because of copyright infringement. I’ll got to YouTube instead.
There aren’t any left on youtube- they’ve all been removed. Bummer.
