Lily wins this one. They've both clearly had a bit of budget to spend, and dudes dressed as giant presents dancing round a stately home >>> boring ringmaster shizzle that Xtina hammed up in a much better fashion last year.
Also, am much relieved that 'The Fear' sounds awesome - I heard a leak of another track a few weeks ago and was v disappointed. Fingers xd the album will be more like this one.
I feel like Lily is missing something at the end, though -- there should be a payoff to all that weirdness and dread. (Whereas the Britney is just missing Britney -- has she ever been the focus of so few frames in one of her own music videos? -- but I think the imagery works fine, so in my mind it's a draw.)
I didn't care for "Everyone's At It" (which I'm assuming is the track you heard) either -- it's kind of melodyless and unclever. But the other leaks ("I Could Say" and "Who'd of [sic] [why Lily why???] Known" ) have been in the vein of "The Fear," so I have high hopes.
