Britney's Video Catalog Volume Eleven: Music from and Inspired by the Smurfs 2 (with bonus commentary on her appearances in will.i.am's "Scream & Shout" videos)

We are just two days away from partying with Britney and today we hit Britney's kid friendly hit from the not so hit movie the Smurfs 2. Additionally, I was originally going to include Britney's appearances on will.i.am's "Scream & Shout" videos but after watching them I do not feel they fit into the official cannon so I included them here as just bonus material (they are really good videos though).

Music from and Inspired by the Smurfs 2

"Ooh La La"
This song instantly makes me think of Jazzercise and doing tricep work with Jake. Britney would be a movie talker. It is pretty adorable that she features her kids in the video. I really like that the set just folded down like a pop up book but the constant surprised face Britney is making is annoying. Her red dress is awesome but she still manages to constantly caress her face. It makes sense that Britney would be friends with Smurfette. I think that Neil Patrick Harris is being chases by Gargamel. Maybe that is a part of the movie. I will never know. Why did that man just become a duck? Britney is clearly limited by having to not touch her body in a sensual manner. SURPRISE FACE! She also has dropped it low three times which seems weirdly placed. Her kids are pretty cute though. Most of this video is just Smurf footage and now she is trying to get her boys to dance with her which isn't working. Cute but forgettable.

BONUS!

"Scream & Shout"
 Britney looks like a bad ass in this video. She looks amazing and her outfit is the perfect mix of sexy and classy. Like she looks like an actual diva. If you haven't seen this video it has a million product placements in it but it is awesome. Britney's heart shaped little outfit thing is great. Most of Britney's contribution to this video is just standing on display which probably is extremely problematic when we think about feminism but I don't know if that has ever been Britney's strong suit.  Britney really does take a note from RuPaul's Drag Race here with the use of display arms and just constant posing. This isn't about will.i.am but man is he a bad ass in this video. When Britney is balancing the flaming gold disco ball I instantly wish that was an actual super power of hers.

37. "Scream & Shout (Remix)"
So this is the remix of "Scream and Shout" and has a crazy infusion of big name rappers and just Britney. Again Britney uses the drag influence with the long fake pony tail which she holds and moves her head with. More posing but this time in a shredded Adidas track jacket that reveals just kind of a leather bondage suit. Britney is featured a lot less in this video but she some great "make it rain" claps and has a pretty crazy gold saber tooth tiger claw necklace. Her major contribution is her pony tail. There is a good two minutes where B does not make an appearance and Diddy screams fuck at us like 40 times. When she does return, she is hold herself up by her pony again. More ads including lots of views of Britney's gold Adidas. I do like that Britney can hold her own with all of these strong, powerful dudes and she just kind of commands her own. Her pony tail deserves a guest star credit.
