People keep comparing those two videos, just because they both have exploding motorcycles and kinda same colors. Besides that, they're really different. (Big difference: Toxic-sl*tty, Startin'-sexy)

I've always liked the song, but the PV is still terrible.

I was indifferent to it for a while, but then I put on shuffle for my ipod, and it came on, and I was totally like, OMG this is a good song.

Now it's like a top played song for me.

I was indifferent to it before, but it's now my #6 most played on iTunes.

It's number 4 on my extensive ipod list. I love the song. I loved it ever since it came out, and I love the extreme cheesiness of the video.

Ha, I always liked it....I even liked the video, too, because it made me laugh. Plus those butterfly glasses were hot.

Mediocre, at best.

And sorry, it can't be compared to "Toxic". Toxic is infinitely much better.

But yep, the butterfly sunglasses looked cool on ayu, as well as her black outfit+hat at the graveyard. But the whole rest of the video was garbage. The crap CG was quite unexcusable imo.

^ I dont see how that awful jump off of the motorcycle is better cgi than Startin. Plus Britneys stumbling through lasers was so poorly made. Startin doesnt have super cgi, but it's on the same level as Toxic.

I'm not comparing Toxic's MV with Startin' PV, just the songs. The fact toxic's MV is crap is not an excuse for Startin' PV to be crap. Utada has a much older (by older I mean a difference of years) futuristic PV that has much more tasteful CG effects. At times, Startin' PV looked like Donkey Kong Country CGs for SNES, so grotesque were the color gradations in the CGs.

Yeah, I admit ayu dancing on the graveyard by swinging her dark hat was sexy, indeed. And the "I'm going to drill this * wall by my side because I'm hella cool with these glasses" looked sexy too.

Ah ok, I read it as if you liked the Toxic graphics much better than Startin', which was weird to me since they're so similar.
