My Favourite 2 Videos

CEE LO GREEN – F#CK YOU

My favourite video that I watched out of the 10 on the guardian website was Cee Lo Green’s ‘F#ck You’. The first reason why I liked the video was because that it was different to many of the Pop music videos of today; what I mean is not related to sex! It was good to see three different characters to which the audience could relate to (young, teenage and man) and not just a man or a woman prancing around in skimpy clothes and a 100 backing dancers.

Another thing I liked about the video was that it linked in with the lyrics and wasn’t just a random video that promoted the artist singing it but didn’t actually have anything to do with the song that they were singing. For example, when he uses the line ‘I’m sorry I couldn’t afford a Ferrari, but that don’t mean I won’t get you there’ the video replicates this by showing ‘Little Cee-Lo’ with an old green truck and another boy with a red Ferrari.

Finally the main reason why I liked this video more than the other nine was because, to be honest, it is also one of my favourite genres in music. So the main factor for me as well as enjoying the video to the song (best bit was the link to girls over 3 generations) was that I actually enjoyed listening to the song as well.

RADIOHEAD – LIVE IN PRAHA

The main factor for me liking this music video is that it showed that what Radiohead are doing in the specific music genre is working well & people are appreciating it. This is shown because before they even start the song their crowd are screaming and cheering for them, getting excited to see what of their favourite bands play their favourite song.

Another reason why I liked this video, is that although its not my type of music to listen to, it shows that the band can perform live as well as in the studio. Many artists/bands these days are auto-tuned by a programme and struggle to please their crowds on live shows, so to see a band release live footage as a video is pleasing and I liked it because it proves there worth their money and good live as well as pre-recorded.

Finally, the other thing that I liked about this video was that it shows the band playing their instruments quite a lot and I think it shows that their multi-talented and not like many pop/RnB artists who can just sing because they can do two things at once. This for me is also my favourite part of the video because it shows that they have a real quality in music.
