Single Release0 Comments

Spears releases her single Oops!… I Did it Again from her same titled album. The video’s director, Nigel Dick, says that Spears wanted a certain look in the video. Spears:

I want to be in a red jumpsuit. I want to have a really cute spaceman, but there can’t be any rockets.

Dick:

There was another catsuit, actually, which was fantastic, which I loved, and the night before, I was told that Britney hired this guy that worked with Michael Jackson. And so we’re going to use that catsuit. So that’s the catsuit.

Spears releases her single (You Drive Me) Crazy from her album …Baby One More Time. The video is directed by Nigel Dick. Dick:

I decided to try this idea that someone had thrown at me and they hated it — they absolutely hated it. So I jumped on the phone with Britney and she says, “Well, I now I think it should be about me in school and there be lots of hot boys around,” and that was pretty much it — oh, and a bunch of dancing. And my response was, OK.

At first, Britney was a scared child and you’d catch her crying but she reached the stage when she just walked off, as if it wasn’t happening. And as she got older, she would scream and curse at her parents, trying to get them to stop fighting.
