If not, tough beans - management appears to be trolling the Tubes, pulling down unauthorized versions. So did that work for you? If so, lucky you (or whatever). And here you find the video I've posted above.
You want to see Spears do her thing but you don't want to pay a dime for it. So the first and easiest way to find the Britney video is to click this iTunes Store link. 1 song, and many will surely want to snap up a high-quality, iPodable copy of the video, too.
fans have already made "Gimme More" iTunes No. But Spears' people, no dummies, decided to put it out online today. The "Gimme More" video - washed-out lighting, Spears pole-dancing in some kind of club, lip-syncing her way into your heart - is set to debut on MTV on Monday afternoon. Why yes we can! But there are some catches. Today, a new search begins - let's see if we can find Spears' very long-delayed music video for "Gimme More" on the Interwebs. (Viacom had been pulling down copies from YouTube, forcing people to go to MTV's site to see it.) Though the suites appeared to be chaotic parties, the MTV-cast revelers were carefully organized, strategically placed and encouraged to imbibe for the cameras.Ĭhoreographed or not, Timberlake and Timbaland's suite looked the most exciting - T.I., buffeted by pole dancers, delivered a rousing version of "Big Things Poppin"' while 50 Cent stopped by to perform "Ayo Technology" with Timberlake and Timbaland.Last we mentioned Britney Spears in this space, online hordes were battering Google in search of her sorry MTV Video Music Awards performance of "Gimme More" - but thanks to MTV's parent Viacom's old-fashioned views of copyright, folks weren't finding much Britney love on the Web. While performances like Keys' and Spears' were delivered on the main stage, others came in snippets: Akon crooned a bit of his "Smack That" before an award was announced, while the cameras zoomed in on Fall Out Boy and the Foo Fighters mid-performance in their suites, giving viewers the sense that they had happened upon an intimate concert.Ĭee-Lo delivered a rocking version of Prince's naughty classic "Darling Nikki" in the smoky Foo Fighters suite (where a beer bong was in operation as Dave Grohl danced, sang Cure songs, played air drums and posed for snapshots) Soulja Boy was showing Kanye West his "Crank That" dance in West's suite. After accepting the award for Male Artist of the Year, he jabbed at the video issue again: "We don't want to see the Simpsons on reality television." Apparently he's not a fan of either Jessica or Ashlee's MTV shows. Timberlake was the night's big winner, with four trophies. He did, they did, and Timberlake said: "I want to challenge MTV to play more videos!" Then he was whisked away by bodyguards and disappeared. Before Timberlake accepted the Quadruple Threat of the Year award at his suite, the DJ summoned the partygoers to watch the monitor and go crazy if Timberlake won. Timberlake's suite was flooded with revelers, alcohol and eight lingerie-clad stripper types on raised platforms. An off-camera fight between Pamela Anderson exes Kid Rock and Tommy Lee led Jamie Foxx to quip: "Stop all this white-on-white violence." Instead of just blocking everybody out and doing her thing, you could tell she was thinking about it."Īfter that, though, the changes to the show worked, leading to several exciting performances and some watercooler drama. you could tell by the expression on her face. "It definitely could have been a lot better," the hitmaking singer and producer Akon commented afterward.
