Glee & Britney

Recently there was a post about Britney Spears being well known for her dancing in her younger years. I thought this was cool, Glee recently did a Britney Spears tribute episode and covered many of her classic hits. One song they obviously could not leave out was "Hit Me Baby One More Time" the song that started it all and made her famous. Lea Michele did a solid rendition of the video attempting to incorporate some of the classic dance moments from the video and even having Britney herself make an appearance as the teacher. While Britney may not be as young as she was in her initial video she has solidified herself as not only a pop icon but creator of some amazingly memorable dance moments in music video history. Her videos always had amazing dance numbers and she in her hay day had the best dance moves on MTV.

Here is Lea Michele's version that I found on YouTube matched up next to Britney Spears' original video- how did she do?!

  1. This mash up of the Glee and Britney Spears, Hit Me Baby One More Time was awesome!!! I love it. You're right Lea Michelle really did a wonderful job of mimicking Britney's moves. Michelle captured her attitude, dance style, and singing style also. I really liked it!
