I love both songs, in a quirky type of way. The videos were different for her, and have a nice place in her repertoire.

However, I do think this single is a bit plagued by "copying." The video for Bold & Delicious is so reminiscent of Bjork's "Big Time Sensuality." In and of itself I don't mind the similarity or homage. However, mixed with one of Geo's unoriginal compositions for Pride, which clearly copies the song "Crucified" by Army of Lovers -- it's just too much. It really undermines the quality of the single in my opinion.

All that said, I still like the songs and videos. I think it's just an unfortunate situation.
