Britney Spears has been compared to Madonna since she leapt onto the pop scene, dancing around in a schoolgirl uniform. The two did eventually hook up for "Me Against the Music," but Britney's video for "Radar," from her Circus album, really paid tribute to the pop queen and her ultra-glamorous Bedtime Stories period.
In the video, Britney is stuck in a love triangle with two very sexy polo players, who spend a good part of their time trying to woo Spears or riding their horses. Spears hooked up with "Boys" director Dave Meyers for an ode to Madonna's "Take a Bow."
"That was the premise behind 'Radar.' [We were] looking for a way to take her into a contemporary, classy environment,...

Britney Spears was aiming to show the world her "classy side" in the video for her upcoming single 'Radar', it has emerged. Dave Meyers, who directed the promo showing Spears torn between two men, told MTV News that the pair had wanted to step away from her normal, sexed-up image. "I thought, 'It's not the first single [from Circus]. Let's be a little experimental and push to not have her around dancers'," he explained. "I feel, I guess, that the videos are a chance for her to vocalise a sense of herself. The media tends to attack her, so I thought, 'Let's (more)...

For Britney Spears' "Radar" video, the pop star ditched the writhing dance moves to explore what the video's director calls "the romance of high-end society and the guys that circulate around there."
The video, inspired in part by Madonna's 1994 "Take a Bow" video, was directed by Britney's longtime video collaborator Dave Meyers, who worked with Britney on her videos for "Lucky" and "Boys" as well as the commercial for her Curious fragrance. The new video centers on Britney being torn between two love interests: a rich guy and a polo player. (Spoiler alert: She picks the polo player.)
"She was in a really good headspace and open to trying new things, and I wanted to try some new things with her too,...

It's all mansions and stallions and polo for Britney Spears in the new video version of "Radar," but don't worry, the pop princess isn't all class. The supposedly "leaked" video was directed by Dave Meyers, who has helmed a bazillion other music videos from artists like Slipknot, Jay-z, Kelly Clarkson and Pink, in addition to the clips for Brit's "Lucky," "Boys" and "Outrageous." The song was culled not from Spears' latest "Circus," but from 2007's "Blackout." One wack element of this video is a shot at the hind-quarters of a horse as the pop princess sings the line "animal in the...

The video for Britney Spears' latest single, "Radar," has leaked to the Internet. The video for the fourth single from Circus isn't as high octane as other recent clips, but she tries to make up for it by sharing screen time with a sexy polo player.
The new video was shot at the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara, California, at the end of May, according to the New York Post. In it, Britney visits her wealthy boyfriend at his mansion, attends a polo match and has an elicit affair with a shaggy-haired polo player.
Though she does wear her signature belly-baring tops in the video, Spears doesn't display any of her signature dance moves. Instead she opts for lots of glamour shots — of herself and of a magnificent polo...
