Call us delusional, but the Super Bowl XXXV Half time performance was the by far the most iconic. There will never be a line up more powerful than Aerosmith, Britney, *NSync, Nelly and Mary J Blige, let’s be honest here..
It has been 15 whole years since this powerhouse set the stage alight. What makes it so special? Well besides for the legendary line up, there was no crazy theatrics, no special effects, just a whole bunch of icons belting out one of the coolest songs of all time.
We think it is time that the Super Bowl revisit this line up. If only there was a time machine, so we can relive this moment over and over again.
Very few moments are as iconic as Britney’s VMA 2001, ‘Slave 4 U’ performance, besides for Britney’s other VMA performances that is. This was the very moment that everyone in the world would give an arm and a leg to be Britney for one day, right?
So when Kaley Cuoco got a chance to choose her ‘Big Bang’ moment for her ‘Lip Sync Battle’, there was only one obvious choice that could top that brilliant Channing Tatum and Beyonce performance.
Yup, that is a real snake you are seeing. Kaley was going to be the real deal, or nothing at all!
Her reaction to the snake, pretty much sums up our feels…
Kaley, we salute you! If we had not already watched that very VMA performance and unhealthy amount of times, we would not have known the difference! Although Kaley’s performance is not available to view world wide in full just yet, you can catch numerous snippets all over Twitter. Oh Twitter, what would we do without you?
Remember that blissful day that Britney broke the internet by posting 3 extremely sexy videos on her Instagram? Of course you do! Those hot sultry moves are forever, happily stored in our Hippocampus (supposedly the part of the brain that stores memories, who would have guessed..). At the same time, B introduced the world to Nathaniel Rateliff epic track, ‘S.O.B’ and we have not stopped jamming to the track since.
Nathaniel’s Twitter notifications must have exploded on this very epic day. So how did Nathaniel express his gratitude to Queen B? Well, the only way any of us would of known how, by channelling our inner Britney and recreating the iconic moment…
Following the massive success of Britney and Will.I.Am’s massive hit ‘Scream and Shout’ – it made obvious sense to release a remixed version of the song.
Diddy, Lil Wayne, Hit Boy and Waka Flocka Flame all jumped on board to create a hip hop version of the club smasha! All 4 rappers appeared in the remix version’s video which sees Britney in an Adidas outfit by Jeremy Scott.
‘’It’s turnt up, amplified, maximized, screaming, shouting – I never thought that a remix would be this freaking crazy’’, Will.I.Am told MTV news. ‘’Remixes have always been important, but this one… it’s so freaking fresh that we had to do a video for it. Usually a remix comes and it’s part of the initial, but this one needed a freaking video, ‘cause it’s out of here, mega, amplified, turnt up.’’
Billboard decided that the remix was so different that it would need to chart as its own release. Most remixes usually just contribute to the original track sales. So just like Blackout, last minute rule changes made the track just miss out on the number 1 spot in the US…what a ‘Wendy William’s mess’ that was Billboard…. (although the original track did reach the top of the charts in the UK)
The video was directed by Ben Mor, who directed the original versions video and follows a similar multiplicity concept. Ben Mor also then followed to direct Britney’s, ‘Work Bitch’ video.
An early (unfinished) version of the track leaked on January 25, 2013 – forcing Will.I.Am to upload the finished track to his YouTube account. The music video suffered the same fate, with plans to release it on the 15th February 2013 – they were forced to release it a day earlier due to pesky leaks.
Britney was hailed by critics for her look in both videos with some calling her physique, ‘undeniably good’ and others calling it the look ‘the pop star of the future.’
The song remains the biggest hit from Will.I.Am’s #Willpower album. The success from the song lead to further collaborations with Will.I.Am who took control of Britney’s 8th studio album, ’Britney Jean’.
‘Scream and Shout’ was not the first song collaboration between Britney and Will.I.Am – a previous collaboration, ‘Big Fat Bass’ features on Britney’s 7th studio album, ‘Femme Fetale’.
In celebration of this brilliant (and might we add under rated remix) release, watch the video perfection here:
