Since Britney Spears Couldn’t Do Justice to “Gimme More,” Kevin Aviance Gives It The Old College Try

It’s a little … late, to be covering Britney Spears’s 2007 single “Gimme More.” The first single off her album Blackout, the pop star performed it at the 2007 MTV VMAs, to disastrous results. But then Kevin Aviance teamed with Jonny McGovern and Adam Joseph to create this little butch-femme rendition. It’s jittery at time, almost as if the director wanted viewers to experience this song through Ms. Spears’s own eyes.

I don’t know if I would call it a “cover.” This is more of an interpretation of the song.

Aviance has been performing the song for a couple of years, since McGovern came up with the idea on his podcast.

I know! I love the podcast, and Gimme More (Aviance) was a stroke of genius.

Kevin rocks, but it isn’t new and the vid is really disappointing. Even without a budget they could have showcased this guy who is an AMAZING performer.

Agreed. The video was literally no-budget, I thin Jonny McGovern literally put it together in his iMovie. Would love to see it live, though!

Turn it out Kevin. S/he brings it to you every time. Nice to see Queer people being productive and responding to popular culture in such a creative way.

I have been hearing for years what a great show Kevin Aviance gives no matter where she is appearing. I will be in your next audience.

There was not much on budget but sweetie, that is where you come in. And come in you do. You are just awsome!! You go Ms. Kevin.

As for Britney 28 seconds into the video I cut it short. It was just too painful to remember that poor girl that way and the trouble she was going through. Why bring it up?

Thank you Queerty. I enjoyed that one. It actually put a spark in my step.

This video SCREAMS of Crystal Meth abuse!! Kevin, Johnny, and Joseph should really lay off the pipe for a few minutes.

Some of you guys seem to know an awful lot about Meth, how one performs on it, handles a camera on it, edits a video on it. Do tell, inquiring minds and all that …..
