No embedding means no need for a cut on these three...

6. MILEY CYRUS - "See You Again" (44 pts)

There doesn't seem to be a video for this, or at least it's not on YouTube - here is the "full length album version".

5. BRITNEY SPEARS - "Gimme More" (46 pts)

I'd never actually seen the video before! (embedding disabled). The whole grainy handheld cam thing is creepily Lynchian i.e. I WUZ RIGHT.

4. AVRIL LAVIGNE - "Girlfriend" (54 pts)

The Manichaean video has been embed-disabled: find it here!. Was in 3rd place for ages until a late surge for...[FIND OUT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS!]

Yeah but Britney's not being childish, just bratty/insane. Can't think of a single song on that album that isn't particularly adult -- she's workin' and bein' a mama, she wants a real man to take care of her. Avril's doing cheerleader chants and crashing her car and not liking your girlfriend, and it's not really that those things are definitely childish (grown-ups can be poppy and petulant too, Ashlee managed to do those things and still seem grown up when she was just 19) but nothing in her nonspecific lyrics indicates that this is happening to an adult. Plus she still dresses like she's 14.
