Everytime is doing well in Australia too, even though it has really only just been released, I am starting to hear it everywhere on the radio, but have missed all the music shows on TV lately, so I don't know if they're showing the clip. It still might make it to Number 1 here too!
I downloaded the video back when it first came out and it was as I've said in this thread ie: it appears that she dies. But in England I finally saw it on TV and it seems to have a new ending. It is still the same mostly, but at the end she gets out of the bath, as though she was dreaming about dying or just thinking about it or something.
I haven't seen the end of the clip in Australia yet, all our music video shows cut the end of the clkips off to start the showing the next one so they can cram more in. Does anyone know if she was made to change the ending over all that "don't promote suidice" stuff? Has it only been changed in the UK? I can't find any info on it anywhere.
I can see the link, I can see the ad they play before showing the video, but when Everytime actually comes on, all I get is the sound. What's the deal?

New certs from the RIAA, now matching with "Toxic"'s gold certification in the US.
schmiggens said this in post #21 : alternate version of 'Everytime' online at MTV.com .
Throughout the whole video, Britney is in a "white dress" singing towards the camera with a few new footage
It's nothing extraorindary. It's just one of the main takes of shotting the whole clip, with very few other bits and pieces, one blooper-type bit of Britney and Stephen laughing it up and that's about it. The real video is much better.
DotMusic.com: The share in "Everytime" has been put up for sale on auction website eBay by one of the holders of the copyright to the track, which appeared on 2003's "In The Zone" album.
Music manager Adrian Adams bought his stake in the song, which was co-written by Britney herself, from Annette Stamatelos, who is also credited on "Everytime".
Adams, speaking to Music Week, explained he was hoping to raise around £100,000 in the auction for the song, which was a UK Number One for five weeks. The bidding has started at £15,000.
The successful buyer will be able to collect all the gold and platinum discs it earns, worldwide, alongside all future royalties, which currently stand at £30,000.
Adams explained: "I'm selling my share in the song because I want to do other stuff with the money."
"I thought it would be wonderful to offer this opportunity to the millions of Britney fans all over the world - people who would never normally be in a position to make this type of acquisition."

EBay Listing Details:
Starting bid £15,000.00
You are bidding on a seven percent (7%) interest in the hit single, “Everytime.” Only you Britney and her co-writer, A. Stamatelatos will be listed as the owners.
This is an EBAY first. Never before has a copyright interest in a hit song written & performed by a major recording artist ever been auctioned on eBay. It may never happen again.
Can you imagine owing a piece of a Britney Spears hit song that she actually co-wrote herself – a song that will likely continue to earn money for the rest of your life and an inheritance for your heirs?
This ASCAP registered song, “EVREYTIME,” which appears on Britney’s most recent LP, In the Zone, has already sold over 7 million albums worldwide and more than a million singles.
The seven percent (7%) share I own of “Everytime” has already earned approximately $60,000 and the earnings will likely go on forever. You’ll get a check four times a year from ASCAP for performances (radio/TV/film) and checks twice a year from LP sales, ring tones, TV, Film, sheet music, etc.
Imagine your friends’ envy and amazement when they walk into your living room and see dozens of Britney Gold & Platinum discs on your walls – in YOUR name - testimony to the millions of LPs and Singles sold ‘round the world. As one of the three owners of this song – the others are Britney and her co-writer, Annette Stamatelatos; you will be eligible to receive the Gold and Platinum sales awards should you decide you want them.
If some Hollywood big shot wants to use the song in a film or TV show, they will have to get YOUR approval or they can’t use it. And they will have to pay you. The same goes for advertisers. If another artist decides to record the song, you will make even more money.
It’s impossible to know how much the song will bring in each year because nobody knows how many times the song will be played on the radio; how many LPs will be sold; how much sheet music will sell, or how many times the song is used in films, advertising or TV. But as a rule a song earns 8.5 cents on every record sold and you get paid each time it’s on the radio, used in advertising, in a film/TV, etc.
I’ll never forget the day I first heard this amazing song. I was in the recording studio with Britney, her manager Larry Rudolph, and her co-writer Annette. Annette had been Britney’s back-up singer and was staying with Britney in L.A. as a friend while Britney was working on her In the Zone LP. I’m a manager in the music business and two of my clients were also in the room that day working with Britney – that’s why I was there.
Anyway, we were all waiting for Britney to show up and when she arrived with Annette she said she wanted to play us a song that they had written up at Britney’s house (at the time) at the top of Doheny Drive in Beverly Hills.
Britney sat down at the piano and sang “Everytime” while she played and Annette sang harmonies. I was blown away. I immediately said to everybody in the room, “this is a hit song.” I acquired my ownership interest in the song from Annette when the song was released.
Many people believe this very special song was written about Britney’s ex-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake and that’s what Annette told me at the time. In fact, Annette told me it’s also about her ex-boyfriend and the two of them wrote the song while commiserating about their ex flames.
In the Zone is certified Gold and Platinum status in virtually every major worldwide territory. In the USA the LP has sold almost three million records or almost 3x platinum.
I haven’t bothered to take the time to collect all the gold and platinum discs but I do have photos here of the gold single award for the UK and the Platinum LP award. I recently ordered the USA double Platinum award and there is a pic here of it being framed before it was shipped out to me.
Many of you will be new to the music publishing business and I will be happy to answer all your questions in detail. Finally the song is currently being administered by major publisher Universal Music Publishing. When the song was first released I did a three year Universal to collect the song income worldwide.
After this deal expires in a year and a half you can keep the song with them [Universal] to administer the copyright or move it somewhere else at your discretion.
Imagine your friends’ envy and amazement when they walk into your living room and see dozens of Britney Gold & Platinum discs on your walls – in YOUR name
You've got to admit that would be prettty cool!
Not to mention the money coming in.
The eBay auction for 7% of Britney's hit single Everytime is over. The winning bid is $171,716. There was a flurry of last minute bidding that pushed up the price of the share.
