of watching a video

some of them are interesting but the vast majority are just the band singing with a pretty girl or in different locales and why bother?

One thing I hate about videos is all of the extra "acting" in them. Stopping the song for some voice-over or something is lame!

that i havent seen but it sounds like it would be more interesting than a shot of the band

the last video i saw that i really thought highly of was thriller

Well, I've seen good ones since then; but, the newer ones in the last few years with the "acting" not so good.

I actually prefer music without the videos, I get my own mental picture, and it usually gets ruined if I see the vid.

Video killed the radio star. That's why you hate them.

/whacks ron

me too isle

this is why i don't get the point

vegatative entertainment and advertising dollars.

but but.. ok this came up cause i read today that madonna will be selling her video on itunes. so clearly videos have passed beyond mere

commercials

I'll get hooked on a song I may not have payed attention to otherwise if the video rocks.

In general, I have no issue with the concept of music videos. I like them. What seems to be happening now is since the mainstream

recording industry is in shambles, there's basically no budget for music videos- especially since the traditional TV outlets like MTV don't

really show videos anymore. So now a lot of videos are boring because they don't have the creativity to come up with a good concept on a

small budget.

Julia Roberts totally ruined "Dreamgirl" by DMB for me. I can't hear the song without seeing her now, and I'm so jealous.

i think some of the music videos from the 80s are really good but the newer ones are really bleh

I'm with you, Vivianne!

my problem with a lot of music videos is that like books, I prefer the visuals in my head

agree. if there is a visual, and many times there's not, a video coudln't even come close to what i can imagine

I like videos that I like.

theres some amazing music videos out there, it can be, when done right an art form in itself, check Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity

or The avalanches, When I met you

theres thousands of great ones
