Britney Spears - Radar (Video)

Here’s Britney’s new video for Radar.  This song is actually like 2 years old, but seems to keep reappearing, this time in video form.  I actually like this song because of the autotune, and for the record it was released long before Jay Z declared autotune dead.   This video features erotic shots of a horse.  What more do you want?

Fans of the band Phoenix got their dance on when MJ was cranked through the house speakers after the show.  Nice to see LA people at a show without their hands folded.
