Britney Uses Body Double In New "Hold It Against Me" Music video.

Yesterday the video to Britney's #1 song Hold It Against Me was released, prior to its release rumors circulated that she used a body double to film her dance scenes, her people denied the allegation and stated the body double was only used to film a fight scene where she fights herself.

After viewing the video I couldn't help but feel like I  was watching something in fast forward it cut rapidly through scenes, transitioning from one shot to another, camera angles switching continuously. The hype around the video stems from her people making it seem as though
 Britney would be dancing like she used to, over the last five years Britney hasn't put any effort into dancing and it hasn't gone unnoticed so when it was announced that she was back in top shape the anticipation peaked to an all time high.

The video however is a letdown theres lots of different theory's as to the concept of the video but it doesn't matter. to be frank, the dancing is a sham.





Any remote complex dance scene was shifted to an away shot, making it impossible to see her face then quickly shooting to an up close face or body shot, you never actually see her continuously dancing into her routine its cut and chopped so many times to mask the truth. If you've ever watched a show or movie where an actor does crazy cool dance movies or stunts but during those scenes you dont see their face and then at the end its as though they just completed the steps? Well its like that, its almost comedic the way this video attempts it so desperately.

The scene below is one of the ore obvious you dont see her face at all till near the end of this segway, by then its closer up shots making out the real Britney but during the dancing bits during this scene the chemistry between the dancers and the woman playing Britney is extremely noticeable their in sync and sharp but overly doing it to make it painfully obvious whats going on..

Fake Britney


Fake Britney



Fake Britney


If not for the mediocre way the dancing shifts b the end of this scene I may have thought it was the double the entire time, the first portion of the scene shes dancing with the backups and moving along with them by the end shes standing in the middle doing her lazy arm thing, thats real Britney.

Take a look at the video yourself and see the shenanigans for yourself.
