So maybe I’m a bit lated with Britney’s third single from her Blackout album.

But gosh, it came on after the Madonna/Justin pretty but pointless video on Sunday night, and I loved it!

To be honest, I was a Britney Spears new album hater – but so far I’ve fallen for every single. So on to the video:

Break the Ice (which I always have to stop myself from typing *Breaking* the ice…don’t know why) is first and formost, an animated video. Dun Dun DUUNN! The first one I’ve liked since “Breaking the Habit” by Linkin Park. It features the animated version of Britney Spears as some kinda super…person…fighting bad guys like she could never do in real life, and jumping/falling through glass windows. I read that it was done in South Korea – Japanese style (obviously) annndd directed by Robert Hales. I like the way the scenes flow with the music – really awesome job!

Though apparently this video has split the fans. It appears that the same amount of fans dislike the video as do like it. I came across a fan made remake of this video. And although I love the official video, I really couldn’t ignore how awesome this one was as well. It is by ptc1973, and you can check it out here.

Tell me what you think (and the creator as well!)

UPDATE: To compare, you can see the official video here.
