Just caught a bit of the video for Studio B's 'I See Girls'.... superb!

Click the video link at top of this page

This could be accused of being a "hormone fuelled thread", but I'm only wishing to share my appreciation of the video makers skills. A fine piece of work!

Jeez - what happened to genuinely artistic, innovative videos? Some of the Guns 'n' Roses ones, for example, were epic. That one just looks cheap and uninspired - Benny Hill did that years ago!

hi twinny

ive got a feelin that the definition of great youre working with wasnt the same definition that were thinking of.

derivative, yes.
obvious, yes.
done before, yes.

Yeah fair enough - but even Monty Python have done it and they did it better ('he has been allowed to choose the means of his own execution' ). It's daft and silly, but not 'great' by any description

People might have said MTV destroyed music in the '80s but at least people tried to make some good videos to go with the songs. Both the music and the vids have been in reverse ever since - now it seems like the chart just sells videos.

'great'? Just a sad reminder of what happens when music goes totally commercial.

I really shouldn't have posted this should I

Trevor Horne was right - video did kill the radio star, and rap (and its derivatives) killed pop music ompletely.

As for the video - pretty rubbishy. I was waiting for something to happen. Nothing did.

Think I should have put in a few more in my original post!

The terms "great" and "fine piece of work" were typed with tongue firmly in cheek.

Great Video-bounce bounce bounce

That is what msuic videos are all about.

One question-why was the bloke running away?.

I think I would have let them catch me and ravish me.
