With sales of Britney Spears‘ new single ‘Hold It Against Me’ expected to top the 600,000 mark, the Max Martin produced cut looks certain for a #1 debut on Billboard Hot 100 next week. Meanwhile plans for the song’s video are well underway; noted choreographer Brian Friedman spoke to MTV today from the closed-rehearsals.
Check out what he had to say, as well as footage from the rehearsal below…
Seeing will certainly have to be believing when it comes to Ms. Spears’ dance ability. Too long has she subjected us to so-so performances, that Friedman’s suggestion that she’s “killing it” will have to be backed up when the video debuts. And, of course, with the live performances which will follow.

Ok i love britney down…. but how many comebacks is she gonna have?
And the overrated hype begins, yaaawn! Friedman is pretty lousy choreographing the lame and cheesy xfactor performances. I’d keep the expectations average to low… just sayin.
OMG SO EXCITED !!!! AND 600K SOLD????? I HONESTLY CANNOT
SERIOUSLY IF ANYONE THOUGHT BRITNEY DIDNT HAVE IT ANYMORE, THEY WERE DEAD WRONG
I ALSO LUV HOW ALL THE BEYONCE STANS HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM THESE BRITNEY POSTS NOW , LMFAO A BIT OVERWHELMED R WE??? LUVS IT!!!!
OHHHH AND LADY WHO??? HAHAHAHA
Oh yeah. She’ll DEF have to be dancing hard cause this song is way too fast for her to just be walking around in a cute outfit and just shimmy a little.
@CHECKMATE OF COURSE BRIAN DIDNT CREATE HARD CHOREO FOR THE CONTESTANTS ON XFACTOR AS THEY ARE SINGERS, NOT DANCERS…..WHEREAS BRITNEY CAN DANCE CIRCLES AROUND UR FAVE. DUHHHH?
@KYLE
I am a HUGE Beyonce STAN and I support Britney too! 🙂 I’m excited for Britney she deserves IT SO MUCH! I can’t WAIT and her performances better be on point though :/ But hey she is Britney. She could eat an apple on stage for three hours and I bet that s*** would still be sold out.Lmaaaao!
“hasn’t been in the studio in over a year”.
WTF has this b**** been doing this whole time?!?! LOLLL
Does anyone care? Let me ask that again, does anyone REALLY care? There’s always this hype about this no-talent southern white trash mentally unstable w****. “OMG BRITNEY IS GONNA SLAY, OMG SHE’S GONNA PUT _____ TO SHAME”. Stop the hype, because this chick doesn’t live up to it. She hasn’t slayed a damn thing with those dazed walks across the stage and robotic-stiff choreography she calls dancing since In The Zone. Blackout didnt sell Platinum. Circus barely did 3 million worlwide. Lady GaGa sold 13 million, grossed more on her tour, made more money, landed more endorsements, and surpassed her in single sales in all of 2 years. Neither of them have any talent, but for Britney’s sake she better get the dancing together, since we all know she can’t rely on that voice.
@TAMI ITS TRUE SHE COULD SIT ON STAGE AND PEOPLE WOULD STILL PAY TO SEE HER LOL
@CIARA STAN HUNNIE BLACKOUT SOLD 3 MILL WW WITH NO PROMO AND CIRCUS JUST HIT ALMOST 5 MILL WW WITH MINIMAL PROMO AND SHE HAD THE BIGGEST GROSSING TOUR IN THE USA IN 2009….AND DO NOT GET ME STARTED ABOUT UR FAVES ALBUM SALES LMAO THE LAST THING U SHOULD BE DOING IS TALKN ABOUT OTHER ARTISTS ALBUM SALES HUN STAY PRESSED
^^^Wow. A whole angry rant about Britney, yet Ciara had one of the most disastrous flops of the year. Instead of worrying about Britney, shouldn’t you be concerned about Ciara?
Don’t press on Brit because she’s slaying the hell out of Ciara. Sheesh.
Anywho. I can’t wait for the video! Brian wouldn’t be telling Brit fans this great news just to tell us.
Brit isn’t playing this time around, and hopefully with this album, she will return to her original form. If Madonna, Cher, Tina, etc old asses can still work a stage decades later, then so can Brit.
I hope she has mind right this time, and is 100% focused. I would love to see her doing more promo. She doesn’t have to kill herself to promote like OTHERS nowadays, because she can sell without promo. Regardless, I just want to see her out there again and returning to BRITNEY SPEARS because the Britney of the last few years just ain’t her.
u can barely hear the s***, this site is getting really tacky…
@kYLE you dont want another stan war. Focus on Britney boo.
LMFAO@the ciara stan. im sure britneys 1st week sells will slay fantasy ride and basic instincts sells combined
Bring up Ciara’s sales all you want. Britney will never have talent, and it will only attest to the fact that talentless people are at the top of the industry (Beyonce, Gaga, Katy,etc.).
THANK YOU NICHOLE!!!!!!
its funny that Britney’s single sold more copies than ciaras basic instinct album
I find it very funny that a Ciara stan just tried to go in on Britney’s vocal ability. Have you listened to any of the vocals on that disasterous “Basic Instinct”?
b**** please. i like ciara and i bought basic instincts and was disappointed.(fantasy ride was good)but your delusional if you thing ciara is more talented then katy. ciara is the best dancer of our time, but thats it. she cant sing, or play an instrument
@QUEEN CIARA – STANNING FOR BIBLE INSTINCT, are you even a REAL Ciara stan? if so you must be mentaly unstable to try and come for Britney 100m selling Spears lmao!
FYI, Blackout did SELL Platinum (1m) it just hasn’t been Certified and “Circus” sold 4,000,000 WW with minimal promo.
Also Britney’s “The Circus…” tour grossed $131.8m from just 97 dates while Gaga hasn’t even hit $200m from the 200 shows she’s done on her never ending tour so #Siddown
I really hope that Bryan isn’t hyping this up but i know that she can still dance because of this ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1x58WPgKU4 ) video of her practicing during the “Circus” era so hopefully she’ll bring it, and Bryan choreographed her her “Me against the music” & “Toxic” vids and her “Onyx Hotel Tour” which was AMAZING.
WHERE IS BEYONCE?
IS SHE HIDING INSIDE JAY-Z NOSE? SCARED A$$ B****!
I HEARD BEYONCE IS RE-RELEASING HER I AM… SASHA FIERCE ALBUM WITH A SONG ENTITLED SCARED OF BRITNEY, BECAUSE THE LESSER DIVETTE BEYONCE IS SCARED OF BRITNEY.
HURRICANE BEYONCE? NOT AT ALL. EVEN RIHANNA SNATCHED BEYONCE’S WIG AS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE R&B ARTIST TODAY!
BEYONCE IS SMART ENOUGH TO NOT RELEASE AN ALBUM THIS YEAR, IT’S GOING TO BE BRITNEY VS. GAGA AND THERE IS NO WAY SHE CAN OUTSHINE THE TWO BIGGEST POP ARTISTS IN THE WORLD.
SORRY PAPA KNOWLES, WELL BEYONCE AND JAY-Z CAN GO ON HEADLINE A ZOO TOUR WITH KANYE SINCE YOU’RE ALL FILTHY, DISGUSTING, UGLY AND IRRELEVANT Z-LISTERS!
Why are you all posting sales like a PR Team?
Why did a Britney stan bring up Beyonce?
Why are some of you so delusional?
My lord its not that serious. I hope you all go this hard in your school work, or for the people you love….
Anyways, Im going to hold my judgement until they post the video. Producers, choreographers, writers..etc, have a bad habit of hyping up things….
That’s not a Ciara FAN guys, that’s a beyonce fan pretending to be a Ciara fan, What a no life
I EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM BRITNEY
& FOLKS STOP PUTTING THOSE OTHER TWO B****** (GOO GOO & BEYAWNSAY) ON THE SAME LEVEL AS BRITNEY CAS THEIR NOT
U STANS ARE CRAZY
F*** her video. This b**** is untalented.
I expect more lip syncing and lip dancing form Britney. Basically the Circus Tour antics but with better editing. NEXT.
Britney is going to break many records in this era as she always does !!
Fastest digital Single sales record
Fastest Radio spin increase record
Album record (6th #1 album tie with Mariah and Janet)
2-3 consecutive #1 single debut
Five #1 debut albums with sales more than 500K first week
and even more!
talentless people are at the top of the industry (Beyonce, Gaga, Katy,etc.).IS THIS CIARA STAN SERIOUS!!Britney along with beyonce,katy and gaga doesnt even belong in the same sentence with that basic chick!!I like ciara,but when it comes to BRIT,its NO COMP!!!!
LOL
Beyonce just watching over her lappy.
Gaga looks uneasy and quickly release her new snippet ANimal.
Animal? what a trash title.
We will see, hopefully Brian hasn’t lost his touch and hopefully britney got her’s back. The choreo could and should be sick but…We’ll see.
yes yes yes i can’t wait he better be spitin the truth
POOR BEYONCE SCARED OF BRITNEY AND GAGA! LESSER DIVETTES LIKE BEYONCE CAN NEVER GO ON A HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPETITION WITH A GLOBAL SUPERSTAR!
TALENTLESS MY A$$!
Britney Spears has not had good choreography since her debut album. She’s a lazy dancer who dances like the average white girl from the south and midwest. I love her songs tho!
@WorldWideWaddie.com – I’m sorry but you are completely DELUSIONAL!!!! Do you not remember the “In The Zone” Era??? Have you not seen the “Dream Within A Dream Tour”????
Brian’s an animal when it comes to dance, so I’m expecting a big and crazy routine.
I hope Britney brings it like S**** 4 U and not the stiffness of the Circus era dancing. @ the dumb ass that’s trying to diss Beyonce, you sound like a damn fool everybody know Beyonce is the baddest b**** in the game. Why don’t you go jump out the f****** window and im pretty sure you are the a fat ugly big girl who feels bad about yourself and hate that Beyonce is beautiful and talented now you can go roll your fat ass out that window now
Won’t believe until I see it……..
Won’t believe it until I see it……..
Britney gave it on her Dream Within A Dream tour. She danced, and when she wasn’t dancing, she gave “Janet-like” energy.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
Britney I want some S**** 4 u type S*** because Britney slaayyed them dance moves in that era! I’m really excited for her she always brings out some of the best records!
I think that is a fake CIARA STAN cause we all know britney is epic lol even i know that and im a ciara stan lol. But im excited for britney to comeback 🙂 and im also excited to see beyonce come back =D this year will be great for music.
WHERE IS THE S**** BEYONCE? BOW TO QUEEN BRITNEY, B****!
UNORIGINAL BEYONCE IS PEEING IN HER PANTS RIGHT NOW. J
JAY-Z AND KANYE’S F** WIGS ARE SNATCHED BY THE QUEEN OF MUSIC IN ITUNES!
what is this fascination with this b****, britt is horrible and a bad mother and role model to animals
@ ciara stan…
i’m with you all the way when comes to your comments about britney. so many of her fans are bunch of suckered in, hoodwinked, tricks and puppets who are locked in a time warp when britney was busting out with mega sales.
anyone who would get a thrill over laying down big dollars for a half ass performance, even from their fav, is in serious need of an exorcism.
@ kyle…
you and all your fellow britney zombies need to stop it with the bull that britney made sales without promotion. she doesn’t have to promote herself because her fans and the media check for her like she’s the reincarnation of mj in his ‘thriller’ days.
yes, ‘blackout’ finally sold 1 million in the u s after two years in release and a campaign by fans on one of her blog sites to buy multiple copies. seldom do i see a britney post where fans aren’t still trying to kick it into the high sales catergory by lauding it as one of her best cds ever (if this is true why has it sold only 3 ml ww)? i just read a blog site where one of the zoned out fans was screaming to all ” britney stans and gaga haters” to take over the internet by going to every available website to PROMOTE britney!
between these wigged out stans and the media who can be just as bad, britney gets promotion that any artist would die for so stop with the ” britney’s cds sell without promo” psycho babble!
@ ciara stan…
ciara is hugely talented but i have to disagree with your comment that beyonce (though i’m not a huge fan of hers) and gaga are ‘no talents’. i think both bring their best when it comes to entertaining. not half-ass like some…
ciaralover?! obvious FAKE! no ciara fan would proclaim britney over ciara. who do you think you’re foolin’?
@CHECKMATE
The xfactor kids aren’t dancers – Britney is. “Britney was born to dance”
He choreographed her – Overprotected (Darkchild Remix), Me Against the Music, Toxic, Boys videos and her “Dream Within a Tour” and Co-Choreographed her “Onyx Hotel Tour” with Britney herself.
He won’t disappoint..not with Britney.
@QUEEN CIARA – STANNING FOR BIBLE INSTINCT
They said Madonna, Britney and Janet didn’t have talent….look at them now
The best selling female pop acts of all time. Not to mention VERY talented dancers and entertainers.
one example of a performance that shows britney still has dancing skills. as one blogger said “i’ll wait”.
btw, i’ve never heard anyone say janet, madonna or britney (in her better days) were not talented. the statement is true about britney now. i’ll ask again. give me proof where she has shown she still has skills.
She’s mrs. Life style of the rich and famous,
you wanna piece of her even if u hate her much… Hahahahaha! Dont swindel ur heart… Without her in this music world !! Like a food without salttt…
