I have been watching The X Factor regularly this season but I was extra sure to tune in tonight for one special reason. No, it wasn’t to see if once again, Paige Thomas or Cece Frey dropped the musical ball. But instead, it was to check out the world premiere of will.i.am and Britney Spears’ highly anticipated new music video for Scream & Shout. After the few little sneak peeks we had received, I was ready for it.
First things first, Britney looks absolutely stunning every time she appears on screen. Her movements are characteristically Ms. Spears and fit perfectly into the kaleidoscope-like effect the entire video portrays. What’s hard not to notice is the incessant product placement of the technology throughout the entire clip. But hey, a man’s gotta make that paper right? And that iPad typewriter things is pretty cool.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the song when it first was released but in all honesty, it has completely grown on me and the accompanying video is definitely fun to watch. I wish there was bit more of Britney partaking in some full-out choreography but hey, we can’t have it all right? Check out the brand spankin’ new clip and share your thoughts in the comments. Do you think this clip will up it’s placement on the charts?

Yeah, the “song” and video were created to push the featured technology. Britney does look hot though and she is the only redeeming element.

This entire collaboration is a mess. The lyrics, Will.i.Am, The video, the product placement, the music, everything.
it will probably chart well. ugh.

i love how william produces a good track then fucks it up by “singing” on it. i dont even know why britney spears was involved since everytime she sings william sings with her and everytime she gets a solo section he autotunes the shit out of her to make her sound completely different. usually on collaborations or featuring dont you want the voice of the featured artist to shine as well.

justin… LOL! Britney’s voice in this song is not as processed as it was on Big Fat Bass (From Femme Fatale) she just sings it with an “accent” which is why it sounds different. I do agree that she should have a bigger part on the song but oh well
and the “clever” >=O it’s a feature NOT a duet. No one’s here for backhanded compliments

The video could have been better but it isn’t terrible. Although the constant product placement is burning my eyes. Britney looks nice.
I don’t like the song though. What’s the point of having Britney Spears if she’s not going to use her mousey-over-autotuned voice. Why the fake accent? If I didn’t know that was Britney I would not have recognised her.
Besides, Will.I.Am always sounds the same. I’m hoping this will flop.

This is a joke right?
She sounds like a man at the beginning, and isn’t this the exact same beat from time of my life from BEP a couple years ago.
Fuck this is stupid
