Somewhere in the meat packing district of New York hipsters ask to be taken to their queen and just like that this chick from Arcade Fire happens. Let me get out out the way the fact I kinda like this song. Please don’t hate me.
What bugs me about this video however is the headphones this chick is wearing at the start of the video. Beats by Dre headphones are not good enough, instead this chick wears headphones stolen from my grade school stock room. Anyone who has ever made it to grade two knows those 1950′s style headphones don’t work so in the end she must be wearing them as a fashion statement.
I love all things 80′s and I love music that reminds me of the 80′s so I’m a big fan of lights. The look also works for me. My favorite thing about the video is the mean one handed keyboard playing mid way through the video. (Actually I also like the Toronto backpoint)
Ok back to the one handed keyboard playing. I have seen one handed keyboard playing since…….
Yes….Lights brings me back to I ran by a flock of seagulls. I love how this video would get you a D in any video production class. Also don’t call A flock of Seagulls a one hit wonder
Space Age Love Song was also a hit.
And yes I know this post will go over well with most of the soccer fans that come to my site.
None of these videos can inspire a full blown review but these are the things which come to mind when I watch these videos. On a side note I turn and leave on Much More Music (think VH1 for your Americans) when I get ready in the morning. I am not admitting or denying I like any of these songs.
Here we have Maroon 5 who have extended their 15 minutes with Moves like Jagger featuring Christina Aguilera. I try to be mean about someones looks but screw it I’m feeling like a prick today plus I’m nervous about the upcoming Porto-Barcelona match this afternoon.
I love the fact Christina Aguilera is in the same frame as Adam Levine for like a split second in this video. Why? Because he is 6’2 160 pounds….she is 5’2 160 pounds not exactly a good look for her. Next to him she looks like the blonde Snookie. Again not trying to be mean but I have a feeling she is working on a remake of her hit song dirrty except this time it’s called hungrry and the video takes place in a Las Vegas Buffet.
The next song is Martin Solveig ft. Kele – Ready 2 Go. I will admit his last two videos have been brilliant. His video from Hello which took place at the french open was brilliant and Ready 2 Go being shot in the backdrop of a French national team match also is brilliant. I do have one big problem with this video. I have no idea how a stadium full of French people can be happy seeing one of their own sing an English song. The only thing I could compare it too is if Nena ran in and sang 99 luftballons while planting the German song right in the middle of the stadium.
I had a third song in my mind I was going to talk about but I have since forgetten about it. Shrugs shoulders.
If you read my tweet last week about Beyonce you would know my feeling on how Beyonce is a hack. A hard working hack but a hack none the less. As a side note I loved it how Jennifer Hudson stole the show in Chicago cause you know Beyonce wanted that spotlight.
Every bloody cd is the same. Man hating song like best thing I never had and a women empowerment song mixed in with some ass shaking song but now that she is married to Jay-Z it takes away that fantasy. If you are a sex symbol in anyway the worst thing you can do is get married. Look at Usher, he got married and here I stand flopped (well, compared to confessions) he got divorced and his next album is a hit.
Now back to this song. I know Beyonce is trying to get your mind off the truth here by starting off this video in lingerie but there is one point which needs to be addressed. Why on fucking earth (pardon my language) are you singing about some guy who you wanted in your pants ten years ago on your wedding day of all bloody days. The happiest day of her life and she is singing about some guy she didn’t make it to second base too? Does no one see the crazy here? Somewhere there should be some low rent rap group writting a song called never wanted it anyway in reply to this cause I doubt whoever this make believe guy is thinking ten years later, “Hey I wonder what happened to so and so, boy I really screwed that up not scoring with her.” Another thing I wonder if hubby to be knows about his future wife pining about some guy on their wedding day. I wonder how happy he will be knowing about that? Sounds like death due us part to me.
In other words this video is crap. Aaliyah should be rolling around in her grave right now seeing Beyonce’s success. Now Aaliyah had talent and all her words weren’t the same crap just repeated. Weird with the whole R.Kelly thing however. What a senseless way for her to die. Some dumb management type wanted all their gear packed onto the plane when anyone with a half a mind knew the plan couldn’t handle it. Of course it nose drives soon after take off. The end
One of the great things I like about opening up my site is the fact I can left stuff off my chest. This song bugged me to no end last year. I’ll copy and paste the lyrics to save you from watching this video.
According to you I’m stupid, I’m useless
I can’t do anything right
According to you I’m difficult, hard to please
Forever changing my mind
I’m a mess in a dress, can’t show up on time
Even if it would save my life
According to you, according to you
But according to him I’m beautiful, incredible
He can’t get me out of his head
According to him I’m funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite, I don’t feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He’s into me for everything I’m not
According to you
According to you I’m boring, I’m moody
And you can’t take me any place
According to you I suck at telling jokes
‘Cause I always give it away
I’m the girl with the worst attention span
You’re the boy who puts up with that
According to you, according to you
But according to him I’m beautiful, incredible
He can’t get me out of his head
According to him I’m funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite, I don’t feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He’s into me for everything I’m not
According to you
I need to feel appreciated
Like I’m not hated, oh no
Why can’t you see me through his eyes?
It’s too bad, you’re making me dizzy
But according to me you’re stupid, you’re useless
You can’t do anything right
But according to him I’m beautiful, incredible
He can’t get me out of his head
According to him I’m funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite, I don’t feel like stopping it
Baby tell me what I got to lose
He’s into me for everything I’m not
According to you, you
According to you, you
According to you I’m stupid, I’m useless
I can’t do anything right
Stevie Nicks you are not. Ok, so what I gather from this song this chick is going out with two guys. At the very least she is seeing this jerk and has her eye on Mr Wonderful. My point is why is this even a debate for this chick, why doesn’t she dump the jerk and go out with Mr Wonderful? I’ll tell you why, the jerk bangs it out in bed, he rocks her world where as Mr Wonderful not so much he is average at best. So Orianthi wants her cake and eat it too. Why else in the world would she write a song to the Jerk telling him how good Mr Wonderful treats her? Cause she wants that from him but he is like “whatever you give it up anyhow.” If I was Mr Wonderful I’d dump this chick just for being stupid. After all he has done everything to treat her well and she is pining for some other guy. That’s cut right there.
