ARTPOP was meant to flop, Perfect Illusion’s fart was meant to be there... only Gaga fans xD

The Britney of "Private Show" is Britney as Britney is intended to sound. She very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; she nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then nasally again, then delicate. (And yes, that's how she's supposed to do it.) She's sultry. She's goofy. She's sounds slightly absurd. She's fully engaged. She's expressive in ways that "technically superior" vocalists just aren't. She is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant she is.

This is the probably purest attempt Britney has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made her early work so irresistible. I adore it.

Hmm. I'm on the fence about this. Like, sure, of course it's her intention for it to look a little off and cheesy and campy. But you can do that effect successfully and professionally and you can do it unconvincingly too :emma: I feel like that distinction is lost on many fans here.

Like, yeah, I'm sure everyone gets that this is supposed to be a love letter to retro-camp. But that doesn't mean she did it well. Know what I mean? I don't even understand why I have to explain this.

Like, remember when we all hated on this video for good reason? (it's very similar to what Gaga tried to do)

If we believe most LMs here today we'd have to convince ourselves this video was a genius piece of retro camp. But it's not. It's awkward and not very well executed. Just like SL is awkward and not very well executed :billie:

I feel like LMs are applying a double standard again. If another pop star released the exact same video I feel like a lot more people would be saying what I'm saying: that, yes, whoever made it tried to be retro-camp but that we didn't get a good end result.

I hope you're not dragged for this because this is a very valid opinion. I don't actually mind the aesthetic. My issue with the video (if I have one) is some of the editing and camera angle choices. Sometimes the shot lingers for too long, or a close-up could've been used instead of a wide shot, or the choreo looks a bit choppy.

I had the same problem with one of the costumes too lol. All the other ones were fine but that one where it’s like a heart pasty but not really, i think there should’ve been more like maybe a skirt or another big ass belt or idk like “warrior” **** like armor idk but that one needed more.

Ever since the teaser I saw that outfit something like what she would wear under her armour and now that the war is over she takes it off. But there no war xD

The green ones are tragic

but the rest is as campy as it should be.

this is what it mean to be in a style. This is way better than Perfect Delusion and Applause MV. 
 

love the font at the begging 

And Of corse is cheap: it’s been filmed on a iPhone.

how can some of u say she meant it to look cheap? The whole point of the #ShotOnIphone is so that people go "wow, that doesn't look bad at all for an iphone video". They want people to think it looks good for an iphone camera & it does.  It was just probably too ambitious to shoot such an elaborate video outside with the phone. Regardless, it's still impressive ! Just not "purposefully cheap".. that's like choosing to listen to a song in low quality audio. The cheesiness is supposed to be in the colors, costumes, dancing, aka the content.  You can tell they actually tried to not make the vid look cheap, it's just hard given the theme. 

Stop the music, Start the drama.

Good luck with this thread. They've been censoring critique threads for two days now.
