Britney Spears Releases A Music Video For ‘Radar’
Polo position
In May we saw photos of Britney Spears on the SoCal set of her new music video for her latest single Radar. That video, now complete, has managed to make its way to the Internets. Here are a few screencaps from Brit Brit‘s new video:
I have to say … I kinda don’t like it. The song was never a fave of mine but it tends to grow on me the more I hear it. I was hoping a slammin’ music video would renew my interest in the song … but unfortch, this video looks more like a bad telenovela (complete with swarthy Latin love interest) rather than a hip music video. After the jump, check out the video for yourselves — you may like it more than I do …
I’m all for videos that tell a story but this one … just ain’t doing it for me. I guess the tryst with the sexy polo player is supposed to be intriguing but … yeah, nada. Deffo not my fave Britney Spears video. What do y’all think?

I for one LOVE it. I’m so sick of dance videos in general, I mean what do you get? Various people dancing in a club with flashing lights, see that’s boring to me. Just my opinion of course.
This video has a story and the cinematography is stunning.
I love the video. It’s so different, we don’t have to see Britney dancing a rountine every single video she does… I love how she looks, for once her hair looks great, she smiles (and it appears to be REAL?) and I think all this equestrian references are just plain funny and over the top.
Lovelovelove that she is so back.
What is this shizz… it was alright until they started showing all that horse stuff, that just threw off the feel of the song. The guy on her “radar” was nice to look at though. :)
Love the ladylike Britney!
honestly, 2.58- that’s why i date argentine polo players :)
She looks really good and all…..BUT Britney is a dancer and most of her fanbase is based on the fact that she dances so well….not to mention this is a DANCE song, made by the same guys that did Toxic….I think a HAWT dance number(s) would have redeemed the fact this is an Blackout track….no go on my part…and I love me some Brit…but no…no no no…and if you notice all her later videos have less and less dancing….wtf? Where is Baby? Where is Oops…and better…where is Slave?
Ok… there were a little too many “sexy” slow-motion scenes of horses. Wetting them down, hanging around their butts doing their hair… lol
I’m surpirsed that I’m part of the minority of people who actually really, really like this video. AS A VIDEO ONLY. The song isnt her greatest, i have NOOOOO Idea why they re-added it to the album. Seriously, she could have picked SO many better songs previously recorded- however, talking video, and cinematography and story AND concept…this video is pretty darm awesome. If it were a different song, and if britney wasnt SUPER pale looking, with DARK makeup, then this would have been seriously a really very well put together song and video. Her hair looked okay in the “orangey lit scenes” but the rest, she didnt look too hot. Directional wise, it was perfect. WAY WAY WAY better than If you seek amy. THAAAAAAAT was brutal.
I liked the video, but I HATED her side ponytail.
bleeehhh
I wish there was less “computer Brittney”. Let the girl sing for pete’s sake.
to be honest, it looks like hardly any thought went into it at all…it was like ok, we need to release this song, lets chose a concept we can shoot in a day and get with it…oh and add a couple of horses please.like what?come on brit, we love you, you can do sooo much better. and i actually LOVE Radar..it was one of my fave tracks of blackout.
For once Brit DOESNT do a club scene and we criticize her for it? I love the adult-ness of the video. It makes me think Mature, Classy, all while basically having an affair. Ha, that’s our Brit! The horses in the video were a bit much. but over all i really liked it.
Meh, it sucked. very disappointed in Britney :( I kinda felt like half way through the clip there were a lot of horses on display… Equus much?
The polo guys were hot but besides that, this clip was COMPLETELY unnecessary – Boo :(
@ Missa I agree, but maybe this isn’t the song to show that. Had she have done other tracks maybe like “trouble, quicksand, or amnesia” for this video it would have flowed way better than this did. When I think radar my mind doesn’t automatically go to polo players and horses shaking some water off them lol. I’m not upset though she impresses me no matter what she does!
I see Missa’s point with the “finally not being a club scene”… this could’ve been been a really hot video… but it seems like they were shot seperately… que britney in the bedroom singing to herself in her underwear, lets throw in some shots of some horses…. andd we got a video!. it was just… yawn…
missed the mark here on this one…
@ Alex EXACTLY! The vid is great if u put it on mute and play one of her slower jams (Unusual You preferably) but it just doesnt go with radar at all and she should have chosen a slow song if she wanted to change her style.
I LOVED the video, something very different from Ms. Spears, very sexy and chic.
I love the video, Britney has done the entire edgy/sexy/sweaty routine millions of times that now she is more interested in the visual aspects of the video rather then the dancing. I accepted the fact that Britney grew uo and changed i guess some fans just refuse to do it themselfs.
I think the song would have gone better with a video like Toxic, rather than this!
I just don’t really get how the story line goes with the song.
Oh, well… maybe she’ll do better next time!
