Pop Videos = Todays Soft Porn!

Jeff Lynne · 30 Mar 2009 at 13:45

Lets be fair, sex sells and don't the record companies know it!

Looking at some of todays pop videos, airing moistly 24 hours a day on upto a dozen satellite music channels it's a real treat to see some of the videos that they're coming out with.

I've caught the new video by Justin Timberlake and Ciara a couple of times and my god she is absolutely gorgeous and shows it off to the full in that video.

We all have fetishes and one of mine is seeing a sexy ass in tight leather / rubber / pvc so hats off to whoever came up with the (now old) video for Cry for You by September :eek:

I reckon I could list loads of pop videos that float my boat but I think a good thread would be everyone adding theirs.

What are your favourites?

Beyoncé - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)

Video has nothing to do with the song, and I love it

Jeff Lynne · 30 Mar 2009 at 13:50

Really? I think thats a poor, cheapo effort from her considering how magnificent the video to Green light was!

MikeHunt79 · 30 Mar 2009 at 13:50

"You're holding up traffic, green means go!"

I usually find if the song is awful then often the video tries to compensate....

Jeff Lynne · 30 Mar 2009 at 13:59

Well it works!

I've never seen the video but that song irritates me something chronic, I'm absolutely convinced that what feminists were fighting for all those years ago is the right to be possessed by a man - strong independent women message, that'll be it.

But since we're on the subject the video for Narcotic Thrust's I Like It is fantastic, I liked the song before I'd even seen the video but how can you not love hot vaguely gothic looking girls in cheerleader outfits wearing French knickers?

The videos i disagree with are when they dress up 14yr olds like Jojo to look older and very provocative. They're trying to make us peados!
Back on topic, holly valance - kiss kiss show's her pretty close to nude

Jeff Lynne · 30 Mar 2009 at 14:22

That Holly Valance video is decent but I think her video for Naughty Girl is outstanding, sexy as hell and really well made.

The Benny Benassi (sp) ones.

DirtyRaver · 31 Mar 2009 at 01:05

The recent remix of Fragma - toca me. the bird in that is pretty tasty.

Junior Jack - Stupidisco is another.

Pretty much any track played on the MTV Dance channel has scantily clad ladies, it's all good (except when my mother comes to visit, I feel like a perv).

MikeHunt79 · 31 Mar 2009 at 01:14

The thing is, with a rock band, a music vid is a piece of cake, just film the band at a live gig and use lots of cuts when editing...

With a dance track, just filming someone playing a keyboard or fiddling with a drum machine would be pretty boring, so I don't blame the directors for throwing in a little TnA!

It's nice to see that they aren't all doing it however, Chris Cunningham vids are pretty dark, but Windowlicker still had some rather crazy stuff with ladies in bikini's!

Can't stand videos of scantily clad women being shown off, it has been done so many times before I prefer something unique and funny like the video for Sabotage by Beastie Boys!

Yes they are, and they rock!

That song is good, and the video is even better! Hooray for hot chicks in French Knickers.

Definitely

Sobatage isn't a bad video I suppose. Goes to show a half-decent video can make even the worst song/artist bearable. Or at least memorable.

the latest Saturdays video is a good un.

god, are they still re-mixing that? It must be YEARS old now. when was the original released?

georges · 13 Apr 2009 at 18:03

Benni Benassi - Satisfaction..

Good times

Gimpymoo · 14 Apr 2009 at 09:25

I am sure the recent Britney ones were designed with "semis" in mind

Kristoph · 14 Apr 2009 at 11:14

Videos have nothing to do with the songs, but who are we to complain?

1999 iirc, original and yomanda mixes are the best all remixes like the 2001 etc are pants.
