Are Britney, Rihanna and Miley going too far with latest videos?

Britney_Miley_Rihanna

In the last 24 hours Britney Spears has dropped the official music video for her single “Work B**ch” while Rihanna has done the same for her song “Pour It Up.” Both feature lots of sex with Rihanna’s clip being so racy that it requires an age-restricted log-in via YouTube. You’ve got Britney in a bustier whipping a woman in lingerie crawling on all fours and Rihanna twerking up a frenzy in thongs…

We all know sex sells and the recent mega-success (179 million views and counting) of Miley Cyrus’ nude “Wrecking Ball” video only accentuates that fact. In a way it feels like the promotional teams behind these performers are trying to out sex each other.

UPDATE: Sinead O’Connor wrote a scathing letter to Miley about her video and Britney stated in a radio interview that she did feel like she was pushed too far sexually during filming and had to edit out half of what was shot.

Here are the videos for each of the three recent songs from Britney, Rihanna, and Miley.

Rihanna “Pour It Up”

Miley Cyrus “Wrecking Ball”

What do you think? Is this just another case of artists pushing the envelope or are they going too far in selling an image? One thing’s for sure, these ladies aren’t afraid to share!
