And Janelle... well, I can't think of a single thing Janelle has done that I thought was interesting. I watched the video and the read the lyrics, and I think that video is intended to just be her without any props or fancy editing because the lyrics talk quite candidly about her feeling put down and told she's not good enough the way she is. (I think it has to do with her being black?) But I honestly can't take her seriously. She is, and I don't intend this to be offensive if you're a fan, but she is quite brutally just another neo-soul/old school singer, and those singers were already a dime a dozen before she debuted. Hell, the UK got Paloma Faith just months before Janelle showed up, and this was only a year or so after Adele and Amy Winehouse showed up and a year after Joss Stone hit #2 on the Billboard with her third first album (because every new Joss Stone record is somehow her new debut... over it.) I think this would be a reasonably okay video if Ayu weren't singing a song about what's happening between her and another person... to another person. I could see if this were like a "curtain call" type of song, something heartfelt directed to the fans, but these lyrics are actually quite a bit more detailed than The GIFT, the production is honestly better developed as well. And the The GIFT is the PV that clearly got the money to tell a story. Quote:
I, personally, would've spent the entire budget for this PV on hiring a real drummer for this track, so it didn't sound like synth drums compared to the rest of the rock tracks on the album. I don't want this to start a trend that later results in Ayumi filming PVs in the bathroom because she can reasonably take a %@#$ and work at the same time. I don't care how pretty her dress is at that point, I'm over it. |

If Slavex's budget for ayu decreases even more that may be the case.

What was it tho? I haven't been really keeping up and I actually just watched lelio in full because someone recently mentioned she tried to dance so I wanted to see if she could bust out moves like the Critically Aclaimed and Commercially Successful Artist Hitom- I mean Amuro Namie. Was it Feel The Love? I remember that one. Maybe Ayu's dress cost more than that. Last edited by Delicious n Bold; 26th March 2015 at 06:01 AM. |
