Britney Spears - My Prerogative
**1/2 (out of four)
Hindsight being comically clear and all, I should note that, in February 1999, when I reviewed "Baby One More Time," I wrote, "I'll let this one slide, but I'm going to lose a lot of faith in the music industry if the world allows Britney Spears another hit."
Well, "My Prerogative" is the token Brand New Single from Britney's greatest hits album. And, in six-plus years, I've lost a hell of a lot of faith in the music industry.
And who would have thought back then that, several years down the road, the jailbait Catholic-schoolgirl video for "Baby One More Time" would look downright wholesome next to the softcore stripper porn of videos like "My Prerogative."
Britney spends at least half her time in lingerie, wandering a party inside a whorehouse - trying on nipple-damn-near-exposed dominatrix lingerie and brandishing a cat o' nine tails, writhing atop a queen-sized bed in bra and panties, dancing atop the hood of a car that's parked in a pool.
That's right - she strip teases on a car in a pool. At the beginning of the video, Britney guns her white sports car right past the valet parking attendant at the posh brothel party she's going to, jumps an embankment and crash-lands in the shallow end.
And instead of calling for help or checking to see if she has any broken bones, Britney immediately hops on the hood of the car and begins a come-hither dance while leering into the camera. I don't know, if I was a paramedic, I'd consider myself lucky to take that call. Mouth to mouth? Sure thing, Britney. Be happy to save your life.
