Britney Spears - “Circus” Music Video Official Release
Britney Spears’s “Circus” music video has officially been released!
The video (directed by Francis Lawrence, who also directed “I’m A Slave 4 U” and I Am Legend) for the title track from her new album, “Circus,” was supposed to have premiered on Friday.
However, due to overwhelming fan demand–and possibly an unexpected YouTube leak on Wednesday night–the pop princess decided to release it on ET Thursday night.
Here’s the official HQ version of Britney’s hot new music video “Circus”:

Britney is awesome !!!!…and looks great !!
NOSE JOB
this vid is cool
Is she purposely trying to mimic Christina Aguilera’s “Hurt” video and Madonna all at the same time? I truly think she may be doing it on purpose for controversy to boost sales.
she’s back!
I love the song a lot! But I think the choreography and video could’ve been better though.

Love it!!
amazing!
love ittttttt
christina looked better in her circus concept… thx
she just cant sing and her dancing she is stiff she just cant dance either she just has no real talent or uniqueness about her
I actually liked it.
Wayy better than most of her other songs.
Still love B.S. though.
This is one of my favorites from her! The song is so hot!
reminds me so much of madonna
she look’s great … we haven’t seen her like this in a long , looooooooooooong time , i’m really happy for her!
congrats brit !
glad i got to see it before when it leaked :) love britneyyyyy!
wow, that is one hell of a video !! i totally LOVE the song, and the video is just hot. Britney’s back *******.
i really love this song and the vidio was great!
I actually really like the vid, I think her dancing could be a bit sharper, but hey she hasnt done this in awhile. She needs to get some new dance person to make it hotter, but I love the song, and the vid is also great. I give her an A not only for effort but for the vision of the song and that it was very circus-like. I wish she would have done some more dancing but very good, maybe a bit less choppy with the switching back and forth. Like how beyonces single ladies almost seemed like it was filmed all at once, not much editing was done. People want to see very little editing now, her next video for If You Seek Amy should be dancey and barely edited.
how lovely!!!! she’s baaack!! so cute!!
Our Lady of Corporate Perpetuation.
(With appropriate delirium insert sniffles and sobs here.)
i can’t lie, i love this song. and britney. yay! she just needs this kind of confidence when she’s on stage.
Amazing! shes GOD.
not bad at all…
I love the video!! She looks amazing! Britney’s back!
The song sucks, the video is too ******, her face looks different, and Xtina already did the circus thing in her “Hurt” song. NEXT!
This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D buying it on itunes as soon as i can!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHE LOOKS LIKE CHRISTINA AGUILERA IN HURTTTTTTTTTT
she is a copy ***** UNTALENDDDDD
EWWWWWWW PIGNEYYY COPY
Britney is the queen of making amazing videos. LOVE IT!!! go download her song AMNESIA and TROUBLE, they arent on the album…but they are bonus songs and are simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!
She’s back!!!!
Sitting at her dressing table a two face guy and guy on stilts plus a 20s 30s theme. Britney I thought Christina Aguilera HURT video was great to you should check out her Back to Basic Dvd I loved Enter the Circus Welcome!!!
woahhhh that was really good.
This is her best videoclip by far! Wow! :)
It’s good to have the “old” Britney back…she’s dancing! And really good :D
I love it. BTW, there have been more artist besides Christina that have done a circus theme video…Red Hot Chilli Peppers is one group that comes to mind.
i used to hate britney spears. i commend her now, i loved this video, it really shows her as the fun, crazy and creative woman that she has become. and as much as everyone bags on her, she is still the princess of pop, and you guys are all still listening and watching her.
love britney!!! :)
love it!
she’s back for sure now!
:)
could have been better dancing but love the lions!!!
Hoooooooooottttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hoooooooooottttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I so F.U.C.K.ING love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome
I was a fan of Britney. Then I stopped being a fan of hers.
But Circus is so awesome! Madonna always said that she felt maternally towards Britney and could see her young star self in her. Madonna influences Britney a lot, apparently, which is a great thing!
And Christina Aguilera looked alright in “Circus.” But her whole album wasn’t about circuses; the songs were a homeage to the past - thus, in all her vids she rocked a “vintage” look.
Britney’s theme is circuses. And WOW this is her best video yet.
And http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1×58WPgKU4&feature=related
DAMN! She can still DANCE after FIVE YEARS of no stage presence! It’s awesome, no wonder she got her hot bod back so easily!
Annoyngly tinny engineered buLL cr ap. Same cowpie Madonna serves up.
NEXT!!!!!!!!
Why do Christina fans always have to bring her up in a Britney discussion? Seriously, it could be a pic of Britney taking a walk and they will still bring up X-tina. Is it insecurity?

Britney is sooo BACK!!! That kind of reminded me of the “Slave” video! That’s hot! Loved it!
SOOOO HOT! LOVE Brit. But next video needs to be more dancing, not editing. You can barely see the dance breaks in this b/c of the editing. Obviously, Brit’s not up to dancing par. It’s okay we still love you .. we give you time, just hurry upppp!!
she hasn’t danced in public in so long, she prob was terrified and shy.
that youtube video was HOT btw :D She can DANCE!!! Huzzah!! Thx Lynn
we always support u , Britney
the video was great! i love it. britney looks hot and the girl got all her dance moves back! go britney! love the song too.
it looks EXACTLY like the one that they said wasn’t official. i still loved it though!
Wow…another video that makes her look like a stripper…lol…
Why are her boobs almost under her armpits?
Pretty good!
Very Christina Aguilera’s “Hurt” but not so good. Bad copy.
I just love the song, maybe it looks a bit like Xtina’s but watever, sh’s back for good !
Best singer ever !!!
love britney! =)
best video!!!
just HOT!!
LOoveit :D
Christina rip off!
Christinas vid opens with her sitting at dresser aswell. god britney is just a copycat. Britney even has the EXACT same hair style as Christina, during the part were the fireworks come up! i mean, fine, she could have done the whole circus theme, but NOT copy wat christina has already done!
Britney is just copying both xtina and madonna!!!!!!!
HOTTT!! BRITNEY’S BACK!!
Way to go Brit!!

LOOOVVEEEEE THE VIDEO!!!!! LOOOOVVVVEEEEE THE SONG ALOT! THE BEST SONG IN HER ALBUM!! Britney is ONE OF A KIND…she’s unlike anybody…the music entertainment world is boring and empty without Britney Spears. With her presence, its going to be an exciting and fabulous years to come. Looking forward for more Britney! GOOOOO BRITNEY….welcome back Britney Spears!
I think that everything, every idea at one time or another is recycled… Christina, Madonna, Britney… the price of being a STAR.. you buy what they sell, you mimick it… why shouldn’t they do the same from each other…
I LOVE the song and it’s great to see her this way.. she seems a little stiff when she’s performing live.. but the video is great. I’m sure she’ll loosen up as the confidence builds…
Give her a break…
she is copying madonna so much.but theres only one madonna britney.face it.madonna is way hotter than u anyway
hate her .she is so fake.madonna is hotter than u
she is not back.she is medicated and she will mess up again.believe me.she is a *****
My baby girl is back and hotter than ever. Love the album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just cannot force myself to watch or listen to any of her songs past the first 5-10 seconds. I must admit, she looks a hell of a lot better.
very nice…
It’s not the Christina necessarily started the Circus theme… but after watching Hurt and Christina’s Back to Basics concert… There’s a lot of stuff in this video that look REALLY similar.
I’m just saying Christina rocked the concept better… but she also had a much better director for the video.
GREAT!
but it’s not a copy, LOL
justin had his theme circus on What Comes Around before Christina.
and Hurt is all about sadness but this is about featuring way more circus things.
wow.. someone is making different usernames and post the same thoughts… boring!
the video is GREAT!
let’s be all bad guys: Christina copied Justin’s circus theme from What Goes Around :)
how did she copy Justin’s circus theme? He had like a flash blower in the middle?? Justin’s record was not centered around a circus…
And she had the circus theme before Justin… she recorded the album before the video came out, and had references to a circus.
THX
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove it!
get over it christina did the classy and boring circus britney does the sexy and extravagant circus they are really different the only thing that is the same is that it is a circus but the theme is completely differend apart from britney doing her whole album as a circus christina did it as a song only and i dont think britney inspires in christina so GET OVER IT
I like the video. She looks gorgeous.
same old singing through her nose, and still not being able to dance-
she’s back–i don’t think so
LOVE it! :) I’ve seen it one too many times haha. But I think that the moves could’ve been a little bit sharper and more hard hitting but it’s great to see that she’s taking control of her life again.
How quickly we all forgive and forget. This time two years ago, everyone was ranting and raving about what a mess Britney was, how she needed to get her life back together and reconstruct her image. Now she’s performing the same tired crap she did back when she was actually something, and everyone’s exclaiming that “Britney’s back” like it’s the greatest thing to ever happen.
Why do people in this country spend so much time praising people like Britney for being mediocre, and so much time putting down those who actually deserve the praise? There are a lot of singers who came back, or never really left, or are now coming in, that are amazing, yet somehow this talentless barbie is treated as if she is the best of the best, simply because her daddy had to help her get her life back together after she completely tore it apart.
SOOOO HOT!!!! Comes out on itunes on TUES!!!
BEST SONG SHE HAS EVER MADE! ONE OF HER BEST VIDEOS EVER TOO!!!
BRITNEYS BACK *****!
HAHA she is a Christina rip off?! That is hilarious.
Because Christina spent her whole career doing everything AFTER Britney.
Please, let’s get real.
No one even remembers Christina’s video. The song wasn’t even a hit.
britney spears still rox like she used to.. and i support for her healthy comeback..go britney! only britney’s fan can really see her true colours in her singing career.. go britney! don’t ever give up! her voice also doesnt change at all…love u britney! and i bet she can do more amazing and powerful dancing in future! go britney! hey hey!
FIRST OF ALL panic! at the disco. was the first group to do the circus thing after madonna, and britney is awsome who r u guys to judge her SHES MAKING MILLIONS N UR STILL HUSTLING =]
I really don’t get the whole ’she stole this from christina’ thing. first of all, there is nothing original about the marilyn monroe hairstyle that chris’ was sporting during the promotion of back to basics… all the retro outfits and hairstyles she did, were inspired by looks of the women from that time, and that didn’t bother me at all…
I just think Britney’s making a reference to her life being a total circus (if you listen to her songs, it just makes sense). She’s trying something new, but unfortunately most things have been done before.
you can say the same thing about christina’s new look these days. in my opinion, the video looks great, although i expected her dance moves to be better. it’s been a while, but she’s nearly back :-)!
madonna??????????????????????
gorgeous
she’s backk!!!!
Not a fan of Britney but I do wish her the best. The video was good, she is good at her job description, that is a pop “entertainer.” I think that is why she has staying power. People are fascinated with her and want to see her rise from her previous fall.

xtime sucks she look slik e tranny clown hookerbritney is back she isn’t copying ****
britneyyy<3333
man, who cares if there has been a circus concept! i doubt her goal was to copy madonna and christina -_-
i love the video. and i’m glad Britney is getting all her shiz together.
I WAY LOVE BRIT TOO MUCH! LOVE THIS SONG! THE DANCE COULD BE BETTER BUT I LOVE IT!!!
SHE LOOK GORGEOUS!!!
NOW THE OTHER FXKING PPL CANT SAID OH SHE SUCK, OH SHES FAT!!
SHE IS BACK B!TCHES!! :D
LOVE HER!
LMAO@ anyone who thinks this is a copycat of Xtina’s Hurt. Seriously Britney ENTIRE album is circus themed and Xtina only had ONE circus video, besides Hurt isn’t even about a circus anyway.
I feel so bad for Xtina she has always been in Britney’s shadow and she will always be second behind Britney. Thats why her album is flopping. BIG TIME.
NO. ONE. CARES. ABOUT. XTINA. ANYMORE.
Good song and choreography. I still dont think it is as good as a few of her other songs. For example toxic. I love kill the lights though, hope she comes out with a vid for it. Brit is awesome =D
she looks great and the video is awesome! im so happy she is back on her feet… but the circus thing isn’t new….Christina Aguilera’s last CD (which was phenomenal) already did the circus theme…her tour was also that same design…
I am glad the is turning her life around but she totally copied Christina Aguilera’s Hurt music video and whole concept around her latest CD.
shouldnt the earringsin the beginnig say “BVGARI” on em? they did in the music video I downloaded…weird. I like the dancing tho
Britney certainly looks fit and beautiful compared to how she had looked the last few years, and it’s great that she’s made a good comeback–i’ve always been a fan.
BUT, she is SERIOUSLY copying exactly Christina’s concept of the circus. Back to Basics has many songs including the same theme, and in Christina’s video ‘Hurt’ she has the same hairstyle, clothing, theme, and setting that Britney is now using in ‘Circus’.
I think this was intentional, and a very very bad move on her and her directors and producers part because it is so clearly a replication of Christina’s work, and sorry to say, but if you are going to copy something you need to do it BETTER, and this is not anywhere near as good as anything on Back to Basics.
Love Britney, but she needs to get a little more creative if she wants to outshine her competition.
Is everyone CRAZY? This is a complete copy of Christina’s Hurt Video. The make-up table. Running through 1940’s circus tents. The platinum hair. How stupid
this is for the j guy…no she is not purposly trying to mimic christina or madonna for a boost of sales…you are probably the only one that is thinking that she is copying christinas hurt video….hello do you not hear the title CIRCUS so thats why she did it..its people like you that try and bring her down everytime she is doing good with her life..just leave your rude ass comments to yourself .Britney is doing it up big and taking over just like she always does :D hahaha so just leave her alone and be happy for her!
Britney is awesome, so happy to see her back to the way she use to be if not better. She looks goods, sounds good, and seems happier.
Way to go Britney. Your true fans will always love you
Hey Brittany … love the song it rocks!!! You are so amazing !!!! P.S. DO NOT GO INTO THAT FUNKY UNCOOL MODE EVER AGAIN!!! Anyways you were great
She is officially back. Britney just needed a breather, but I’m glad she’s back.
