Britney Spears and Madonna are making a video involving an elevator. It’s the kind of news that can send an otherwise unoccupied mind on flights of fancy. Aerosmith covers? Metaphorical birthing? 2 girls, 1 cup? “Me Against The Music?” So many possibilities, now shattered by the party poopers at E! Online. Those who bother to check out Madonna’s Sticky And Sweet Tour can expect to watch Britney announce that she’s “Britney, bitch” while going apeshit in an elevator. And where we assumed “Live To Tell” pathos might be in order, it looks like the duo are looking towards the defiant, and still totally awesome, “Human Nature.”
According to our insiders, the planned “short movie” will take place inside an elevator, where seven cameras will be strategically placed to capture the magic. The scene-by-scene breakdown goes like this:
Britney, partially disguised by a gray hoodie, walks into the elevator. As she starts traveling upward, she seems particularly nervous and anxious. The popster starts pacing back and forth. Then she progresses to kicking and smacking the walls, all frantic-like. She screams into one of the cameras. Then she starts climbing the wall, pulls down her hood and, into another camera, says:
“It’s Britney, bitch.”
…Strains of Madonna’s “Human Nature” were also heard playing during some scenes and Britney could be seen mouthing the words.
Having revisited “Me Against The Music” as well, I’m kind of disappointed they’ll be ignoring their initial collaboration. It’s no “Human Nature,” but is it really that much worse than the gibberish on Hard Candy?

I guess this means the whole A-Rod thing didn’t work as far as a sales-boosting strategy. Oh well, at least the whole “fake mustache” detail worked as a personal lolz-boosting strategy!
Me Against The Music is great (and my #23 song of 2003!) although I think it’s really odd that it’s produced in a way that makes both of their voices sound completely identical.
@bcapirigi: Did you ever mishear the song and think that they were singing about P’Zones?
I’m amused by the fact that this establishes that Spears’ most culturally impactful work since, maybe, “Toxic”, is saying “It’s Britney, bitch.”
Citi Card just emailed me offers for members only private passes to her concert all over the country. Bwahahh. I thought the shyte was sold out.
@Maura Johnston: no, but i wish i did.
@bcapirigi:
In the Zone is actually quite great. But then again I am kind of biased when it comes to Britney’s musical output.
Also, I was all excited yesterday of this news. And I was all excited all over again when I saw this post and the mentioning of the awesomely great Human Nature from the awesomely great Bedtime Stories. And yet, despite all of this, when I got to this part
“..She screams into one of the cameras. Then she starts climbing the wall, pulls down her hood and, into another camera, says: “It’s Britney, bitch.”
I literally went “Why?” and thought about this for a second. I mean what’s the point? It’s not like this is some Best of Both Worlds collabo World Tour. [I want to say bring out Britney at the Dodger Stadium, but then I think back to the music videos for Gimme More, Pieces of Me, and those "club tours" and I'm all "hmm I don't know dawg"].
Whatever though. It’ll still makes the girls and boys go crazy. And maybe that’s the point. That and higher ticket sales. Yeah… That’s it, higher ticket sales…
41,000 tickets have been sold in Dallas
38,000 in Miami
30,000 in Los Angeles
30,000 in San Diego
These are all for ONE date. and you guys are still calling this tour a “flop?”
@report345:
It’s not that it’s necessarily a flop. Come on now, this is a Madonna show after all. She has many a fan that will skip out on an album, but turn around and devote damn near half and/or a whole paycheck on a first class seat [or "coach"] at one of her shows. It’s more of a tickets aren’t selling as fast as some may have expected, with tales of her surpassing the one million mark in sales and selling out left and right being promoted heavily by the powers that be to drive more sales, and keep the trend in rotation and cover up the fact that a) Hard Candy ain’t exactly moving the units like some thought it would, and b)Shows ain’t selling out on some Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana I gotta have it! I gotta have it! tip.
Good post Tauwan. In the end, she’ll make more money than she did on her last tour. And yeah, the “sellout” stuff is always bs since a show isn’t “truly” sold out until showtime. Lets not forget – the tour is still 3 months away in the US.
