I believe that music videos don’t really affect the way I feel about particular songs. To me, the music videos, in a way, help me understand more about the song. Each song has a story behind it and the video just helps you see the story behind that song more clearly or in the way the artiest would like you to see it. But there is always that one song that you believe you understand and then when you actually see the video, it’s completely different from what you believe the song really is about.
I, myself have seen many of these crazy music videos. Like a couple of Lady Gaga’s videos don’t make any type of since to the songs she sings. Like the song “Alejandro”, what does that video have to do with the song? In the video she is dressed as a Nun with guys around her wearing some type of women, fancy, under wear. But hey that’s Lady Gaga for you. Another one of those videos that don’t really go with the song is Katy Perry’s “California girls”. This song I really do enjoy but what does the candy land game have to do with California girls? See in her video she is dressed in a candy dress and everything around her it made out of candy, just like in the game and Snoop Dog is the bad guy that trapped all of her other candy dressed friends in the game and she defeats him and his gang of gummy bears at the end with two bottles of whip cream the stick on her bra. Even though the video was funny and had nothing to do with song, the video didn’t not make me change the way I felt about the song one bit.
Other than the videos that don’t go with a good song, there are the videos and the songs that go perfectly together. One of these songs is Eminem ft Rihanna “Love the Way You Lie”. I love this song! And the video goes perfectly with what there singing. See Rihanna and Eminem haven’t really been in good relationships. Rihanna has been beaten up by her past boyfriend Chris Brown and Eminem just never got a long with the women that had his child because of all the lies. Both are perfect to sing this song because even threw all the lies and hurt, they stuck threw the relationship they had with the person they were with but found a way out. This song, to me, show’s why they never really left and that was because they loved the person. But in this video there’s a couple that always fought and hurt each other but always made up at the end of the day. That’s why if you hear this song and see the video you would understand the story behind this song.
Even if the music video was good, bad or pointless, to me it really doesn’t matter, I am still going to like the song no matter what. But if the song is bad but the video is good then that’s a different story.
