On Fox News Channel’s American Newsroom today, there was a segment in which anchor Megyn Kelly called out Britney Spears for the video to her new song “If You Seek Amy”. This comes after Kelly put the song in her “Kelly’s Court” segment back in January, because she claimed the title was just “the F word” spelled out in disguise. Having gone through it several times, and read through the lyrics, if it is the case, and it is a reasonable probability, then I think it’s actually two words that she’s saying. The F word that Megan refered to, and the last syllable of “Amy”.
However, Britney has referenced the previous America’s Newsroom segment in her music video, by using a programme name, set and anchor that bare a passing resemblence to Megyn Kelly. She probably found out about the segment and decided that a piss take would be a bit of fun.
Of course, Megyn, like all the other Fox News actors and actresses, goes totally overboard, calls Britney out, invites her on the show, then goes all catty, meowing to the camera and baring her claws.
Stop being so bloody predictable! The song was obviously an attempt to draw some publicity, and the video as well, and it’s worked. A little free publicity and she’ll get that song to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in no time flat. Not sure that this will have the same effect over here for the UK Number 1 spot. But we’ll have to wait to find out. Maybe she’ll just create another controversy over here, though I couldn’t guess on which show she’ll create it on.
Anyway, here’s the segment from America’s Newsroom…
