This song of course needs a good video! My expectations are high! Hopefully not too high.

I saw this today on Making the Video and it was a great video! It was very cool and not really what what I expected, a lot of different cool scenes. The dancing was, as usual, great!

I was completely shocked at the video. Definately not the typical 'Britney with dancers'... the video was just fantastic and definately enhanced the song even more for me.

it made no sense, and the stuff like the diamonds had no reasoning. once again, it could've been good, but ended up being lame.

Man we have some major Britney lovers in here  It was an ok video. A little cheesy/pointless (which was to be expected from the director) The last scene with her and black hair-she has never looked better than in that scene. I would say its better than MATM but not her best. |

I was very disappointed. It was just over the top sci-fi which doesn't always equal a good video.

I'm trying to think of what her best video would be, but I'm not sure. Right now I'm leaning towards "Toxic." "Overprotected" was also very good.

Britney looks hot with those diamonds. :o Remind me of someone's elses video.... except, the video you're talking about actually made sense, didn't have incredibly stupid looking CGI stuff like the motorbike, and no "let's get naked, and look just like J-Lo in WFT, just to get people's attention" scenes. so quite why it reminds you i don't know.  |

Well at least Fighter didnt have the horrible special effect stuff ;) (which is of no fault of Britney-like I said, I really do not like the director of Toxic)
Anyways, in general this board seems to really like Britney. Looking at peak predictions to adoration for videos, etc...I mean,I feel like one of the few people who is not screaming about how Toxic is a sure top 5 and the BEST BRITNEY SINGLE AND VIDEO EVER!!!!

Well, honestly I do think it is her best single and video because I can't really think of what video would top it. However, I don't think it is the best video or single ever! I like the song, but myh expectations of chart performance is notn too high. But I think it has a slim chance at Top 10.

Just saw it for the first time and it's stylish and hot, just like the song. Hands down her best video for me.

At first I didn't like the video, but now it's grown on me. It fits the song well.
Thanks,
Ben

Best video of Britney? Possibly. Best song of Britney? Umm... no. except, the video you're talking about actually made sense, didn't have incredibly stupid looking CGI stuff like the motorbike, and no "let's get naked, and look just like J-Lo in WFT, just to get people's attention" scenes. so quite why it reminds you i don't know. Yeah... sure. If this similar video was made by "somebody else", you wouldn't have that many problems with it. But whatever... to each his own. |

After watching the video, I found it to be quite good. Not great, but a good video. I like the part where she's trying to avoid tripping the laser signal. It reminds me of that part in Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back where Ali Landry was flipping in the air Matrix style and then lettin' out a big one  |

It'd be a hell of a lot better if it just stuck to one story instead of jumping from the plane, to the bike, etc. Each part is good - but they don't make much sense when put together.

From the way the song is starting to be picked up on radio and from your responses on the video, it sounds like Britney will finally have another top10 hit.

This is definitely her best video to date. She really tried something different with this whole song and video. I believe that "Toxic" was actually Britney's choice over Jives and it looks to be paying off for her. At first I never thought it would work but then that was dashed when I saw the song go +900 (;)) and saw this magnificant video. A lot people also seem to really like this song that never liked any of Britney's stuff before. Good choice Britney!!! |

I like this song quite a bit. Great single choice IMO. As for the video, it's cute. That's about the only word I can think of to describe it. Certainly not Britney's best.

The video has got to be the worst Britney video i have seen in a while. It's too ridiculous and silly and the plot doesn't make any sense. I think they went in saying "We are going to make a different type of video with this song, something Britney wouldn't usually do," and it backfired in their face. The song is good but the video ruins it for me. This video ranks down there with "I'm Not A Girl" and "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know". But this is going to be an overhyped video by Britney's fans. For some reason they all like "Stronger" "Slave" and now "Toxic" the most.
Think "Stronger". Directed by Joseph Khan, was a different video from all her others, was a fan favorite, flopped.

"We are going to make a different type of video with this song, something Britney wouldn't usually do," and it backfired in their face. Hmmm..... Not at all like "Fighter," huh? Something they tried to make different but totally backfired. The video for Toxic goes with the song's style/sound. Toxic is a zany, James-Bondish sounding song. I thought the video went perfectly with the song's vibe, unlike some other videos. Cough, Fighter, cough. Must be catching a cold. |
