On the left hand side you have Britney, on the right you have Ke$ha and just like a James St. James novel, it's not quite as cut and dry as you might think. Yes Britney's Britney and we love her, and Ke$ha's Ke$sha and we loathe her, but "Hold It Against Me" is lyrically lazy and every time she says "HAY ZAI" instead of "hazy" I just want to drag her to a speech therapist (I GET IT, IT'S HER THING, BUT REALLY... HAY ZAI?). Sure, I like Britney battling herself and Jonas Akerlund is always interesting, but I'm still not sold.
Ke$ha's video, on the other hand, has unicorns sipping champagne and James Van Der Beek in full-on Rules of Attraction mode, which is QUITE DEVASTATING. And for once Ke$ha doesn't look like she spent the weekend in a Burning Man port-o-potty. She looks rather fashionable, in fact. I even approve of the freckles.
So what do you think? Is it: A) Britney rules 4EVER, B) Ke$ha wins by a hair, or C) Neither, I'm just waiting for Gaga's "Born This Way" video to blow both bitches out of the water.
