First Look: Britney Spears, ‘Circus’
"When I crack that whip everybody gonna trip"
December 3rd, 2008
Here y’all go, freshly leaked onto the Internets:
Posted from my BlackBerry :) Gettin’ on a plane now!
UPDATE: BritneySpears.com is reporting that this grainy version of the Circus video is NOT the final version and that a director’s cut of the vid is still set to premiere on Friday Thursday night. This music video is hot … can it even get any better? I guess we’ll find out.

December 3rd, 2008 at 3:06 pm
wow that was hot! she looks soooo STUNNING and her dancing is way better than in the live performances.
cant wait for the tourrr =)
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:07 pm
It’s pretty hot, but i hate how its really nothing new if you’ve seen the previews, you’ve seen the video.
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:08 pm
I love that little moment at the very end where we get to see Britney laugh! SO good to see her laughing.
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:19 pm
she looks great.
the frequent flyer miles you must wrack up….!
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:19 pm
She looks amazing!!!! Girl is back!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:20 pm
LOVE the shorter hair so sassy!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
OMFG ! She is definitely back on track ! It’s stunning, astonishing…. brilliant ! Womanizer was so much like a mash up of previous videos like Toxic meets Stronger ! Here we don’t want to see her naked, we wanted to see her happy to be back, to be dancing. And he looks like enjoying all of this ! This is such a spectacular music video ! I mean she’s gonna get an award for it cause it’s worth the wait ! And when you see her laughing ! I think THIS moment’s the best ! I can’t wait to see more of her ! And can’t wait to see what her tour’s gonna look like
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
aHHHHH
that was AWESOME
she looks amazing. & i loveeee that song.
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Oh my gosh! Please no more Britney!!! It’s too freakin’ much!!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:28 pm
HAWT!! Our girl is OFFICIALLY back!
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:28 pm
This is the first Britney video that I really love. All of her other ones were just mindless fun for me, this one I could actually watch over and over again. It’s a little more raw and gritty which is what I like.
Although it still reminds me of Floria Sigismondis hurt video for christina A. I know Chris is not the first nor the last to do the circus theme but I can’t help but compare.
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:28 pm
I forgot to ask, does anyone know who the director is?
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:35 pm
it still reminds me of me against the music only more…fun? lol
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:35 pm
have a safe flight!
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Jessica-
The Director is Francis Lawrence
He also did Britney’s Slave 4 U video.
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Oh. My. Gosh.
I am not a Britney fan but that was amazing!!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 3:54 pm

enjoy!
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
that was FANTASTIC! It didn’t have a lot of that amazing Britney choreography we used to know and love, but baby steps.. and just like in “For the Record” you can definitely tell the fire is back in her eyes (especially when they do the close-up shots). I looove it!
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:04 pm
she is so beautiful. this makes me want to cry with joy.
i don’t knowanyone who isn’t rooting for her.
go brit.
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:11 pm
freakin amazing video!
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:28 pm
hellllllll yeah! GO BRIT!
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:33 pm
EPIC!
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Fans complained there wasn’t enough dancing in the ‘Womanizer’ video. In this new video, there is a LOT of dancing. Loves it!
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:59 pm
AMAZZZZING ;]
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:28 pm
ok
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Yay!!! Fantastic! I love it.
I love the whip crack.
“I run a tight ship *CRACK* so be prepared”
I watched it twice before it got taken down :-)
December 3rd, 2008 at 6:04 pm
damn I just finished watching that video. was that not HOT????
britney is making me want to buy the album. was a bit skeptical but after this song I’m totally copping this. she sounds I think better then before and she’s laughing at the end, she has such a great smile
December 3rd, 2008 at 6:05 pm
@Kc:
thought that one scene with the guys on here looked JUST like the slave for you video. he did a good job with this.
December 3rd, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Oooh found a link to a site that I found on a US Weekly article: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/oDSf8DcOUto/
SHE IS HOT in this video and is finally looking like she’s snapping back into her moves like the old britney much more this go round.
December 3rd, 2008 at 6:42 pm
i just clicked on it & it stated the vid was no longer available :( boohoo :(
December 3rd, 2008 at 6:49 pm
AHHH!!! SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:38 pm
She’s definitely slowly making her comeback!! :) We’re starting to see the fire in her dancing again.. woot!
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:59 pm
You guys Liked it?? Well Britney.com Reported that this isn’t the Final Cut, the “director’s cut” will premier on Friday, meaning that if you liked this one, you will LOVE the new one, Britney’s Better than Ever…Her Face’s like a Mannequin…
December 3rd, 2008 at 8:02 pm
removed :(
December 3rd, 2008 at 9:05 pm
amazing video. absolutely stunning. britney looks great and the video is a lot of fun to watch. i really like this song and video more than womanizer.

December 3rd, 2008 at 10:02 pm
That was a gorgeous video – and that was the Britney that I had always thought she would grow up to be. I’m amazed that she really did it, she really got herself back in order. I am so excited now to see her show in April!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved every second of it!!!! :)
December 3rd, 2008 at 11:35 pm
I loved it! And did anyone notice how her 2 perfumes are at the very beginning? lol I can’t wait for this album <3
December 4th, 2008 at 12:50 am
catchy song!! LOVED it.
and the moment at the end was easily the best of the whole video. her laughing=cutest thing ever.
December 4th, 2008 at 1:21 am
HOT. very classy as well, can’t wait for the official one to be released!! :)
December 4th, 2008 at 2:56 am
its funny how nobody’s like: omg Xtina did a circus themed video/song before brit did!! xD
but when Xtina does something britney allready did, everyone’s like: oh britney already did that!
lmao.
love the vid tho.. catchy song indeed. love it!
December 4th, 2008 at 3:27 am
I heard the song a week ago when it was leaked, loved it already. And now’s the video coming out! Too bad she sometimes had weird moves in front of that curtain, but besides that.. cool! Yesterday I saw the britney exclusive documentary thing, I got the chills from seeing her get up again! It was a heartbreaking thing, yet, I’m happy for her.
December 4th, 2008 at 4:24 am
Oh my god!! That video is unbelievable! I think it’s the best one yet. Britney is a bad ass and it never ceases to amaze me how she can reinvent herself and keep getting better. The whole circus theme is genius!!
Thanks for posting all the Britney stuff, Trent!! This mom from Georgia is loving it all!
I wish all the best for Brit and her future. She is such an awesome example of how anyone can overcome anything and rise above it all to emerge a stronger and wiser person.
December 4th, 2008 at 4:58 am
I love this song, it is quickly moving to the top of my favorites!
December 4th, 2008 at 5:18 am
Wow! I can smell a comeback…… who knew Brit could actually get hotter!! I think it’s fabulous!!! I’m so happy she’s back!
December 4th, 2008 at 6:01 am
If that wasn’t the Final version of the video, then I can’t wait to see how much Hotter the video can get. I am Definitely looking forward to tomorrow for the official release. She is one of the great “Put on a show kind-of-girl”s. I have only two words for Miz. Spears…….Beautifully Awesome!!!!!
December 4th, 2008 at 6:20 am
Anyone else notice a problem when she’s putting her earrings in at the beginning? Watch it a few times and tell me what you notice. LOL
I think it’s a great video though! I never liked her…until her comeback. You have to admire her for what she’s been through.
December 4th, 2008 at 6:57 am
Is this the Britney Spears website? Because you talk about her every 2 seconds. It’s Britney overload. I mean I hope that she GETS healthy and continues the good progress but gosh. That is no reason to continue to give her sympathy awards and sympathy mentions. The fact of the matter is that sure she’s been through a lot but at the end of the day she still can’t sing!
December 4th, 2008 at 7:03 am
JUST BOUGHT TICKETS TO HER TOUR!!!!! I am so excited! I love this new video…Probably ranks up there with “slave” and “stronger” for me! Thanks for the leak! Can’t wait for the director’s cut (but you’re right how can it get any freaking better?)
Give her a break! She’s been through hell. Let the girl do what she loves and back off! GO BRIT and CRACK that WHIP!
December 4th, 2008 at 7:10 am
I’ve never been a fan of B.Spears but that video is FABULOUS! and this song is 100 times better than Womanizer!!! wow. makes me want to choreograph something fun for my dance students ;)
December 4th, 2008 at 7:12 am
holy shit britneys back!! Congrats to her!
December 4th, 2008 at 7:17 am
Whoohoo! Definitely has a similar feel to Me Against the Music…and that’s not a bad thing! All we need is a Madonna cameo and we’re back in the game! hah
December 4th, 2008 at 7:32 am
Now that was a good vid, 10 x better than Gimme More. There is the performer Britney finally. You can see the confidence and passion, yay!!
December 4th, 2008 at 7:53 am
Loves it!!!!!
she looks awsome!!! so0o wanna go to her concert!
hey who won the britney contest anyways was it put up yet?!?! im excited to see the pics :)))
December 4th, 2008 at 8:27 am
britney gets talked about because shes a hot topic, stop hating. =D
December 4th, 2008 at 8:31 am
“circus” has officially replaced “toxic” to become my new fav brit video. :)
i love the end (of course) where she’s laughing, but my FAVORITE part is where she does that little hand movement and kinda makes a silly face as if she’s trying not to laugh.
THE FIRE IS DEFINITELY BACK IN HER EYES!!!! as a long time fan it’s almost causing me to tear up to see her performing at her best again because you can tell she truly loves it. :) btw, she looked AWESOME at the tree lighting ceremony and her birthday party. every time i see her now she is looking happier and healthier. i agree with the comment above, who’s NOT rooting for britney?!
and to everyone who keeps complaining about trent’s britney updates, if you’ve been a long time reader of his blog you would know he is a huge britney fan. why would he not post about her during this important time in her career?! and furthermore, it is HIS blog – pretty sure he’s entitled to post whatever HE wants. jeez.
December 4th, 2008 at 9:41 am
She shut it down. Everyone needs to step back.
December 4th, 2008 at 10:07 am
in her solo shots…she seems a little uncomfortable. and you know once the offical versions out…there gunna cut out half the good stuff..they always do.
i gotta say…i hate the purfume promos…i hated it in Mariahs and i hate it in this lol..i dunno why but it bugs me
December 4th, 2008 at 11:59 am
woowww thats a good video and there is the dancing we want from Britney!! Damn i have a good feeling about this comeback
December 4th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
I can finally say that Britney Spears is a MILF! :P… sure took awhile
December 4th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Ok it’s a good video, but not as much dancing as I thought :-( It’s nowhere near as good as Toxic that was by far my favorite video from her.
December 4th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
One of her best!!!
Congrats girl!
December 4th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 4th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love when she plays herself, they are usually her best videos, im so glad to see her making such a wonderful music video, and i love the song, its amazing!!
December 4th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I love it! I think she really performed GOOD in this video… As far as her “live” performances, I think she is just nervous… she’ll warm up in no time… Gooooooooooo BRITNEY!!! Caliente baby!
December 4th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I liked it alot and I am not usually a britney fan.
December 4th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
I LOVE it … but do the short-hair scenes remind anyone else of Renee Zellweger in Chicago?
December 4th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
What dancing? She barely dances..a lot of people dance around her maybe..but she really doesn’t dance much and its nothing too mindblowing when she does..watch Beyonce to see a dancer! I will never understand Britney’s appeal..I can’t listen or look at her for long, she’s just not that good..for all the fame and press and money..she just doesn’t have that much going on on my opinion! My opinion is..yuck. But if she floats your boats, okay then..
December 4th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Yay! So happy with this video! I remember the first few times I heard “Circus” was before any clips leaked, and what she did fully lives up to what I pictured in my mind. Go Britney, you rock! And so do all your Britney updates, Trent! Bwahaha! :)
December 4th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
i was thinkin the same april. she really isnt dancing much in this video.. a few arm movements…a couple leg movements…but nothing mind blowing….and i wouldnt say this is her best video yet.
