PJ's Odobenus rosmarus reveal

How I feel right now



Nah its genuinely very tough. I love all the videos. So hard to give anyone last place.

Justin Timberlake - CAN'T STOP THE FEELING!

Apologies in advance to the owner of this song. You got unlucky.

I groaned the second this started. I hate this song. Something about this and Pharrell's "Happy" drives me nuts. As if I hate someone telling me to be happy. I'll be whatever I want to be thank you very much. How can I get the maximum out of my grumpy mood if justin timberlake keeps tell me to be happy?! I'm such a grump sometimes :pac: I tried to keep an open mind but it was tough. I actually quite like Justin though so his humour is saving the video so far. The crazy look in his eyes during the super market scenes in particular. I think he could be a great comedic actor. Have a look at some of The Lonely Island videos for example. He looks like a lot of fun. But god do I hate this song lol. The video doesn't tell a story. No interesting camera techniques. The video just kinda goes on and on. Does it need the credits at the end. The song was "catchy", annoying and everywhere. Leave me to enjoy my bad mood in peace.



18th place so 1 point. You guessed it, it was

Nirvana - In Bloom

First time I saw this, I was like, what the hell is this. I got into them after Cobain's death. It was the first song of theirs that really blew me away. It was the first nirvana video I ever saw. I remember downloading it through KaZaA (slightly predates youtube). I was utterly confused. I thought nirvana were some no nonsense rock band. They're actually very much a bunch of oddballs. It is funny them acting like some 50's clean cut band and cutting to them in dresses. But that's all that's to it. Bit of a one trick pony. Now that I think about, I've never been blown away by any of nirvana's videos even though I am a huge fan and I sometimes revisit them. Sell the kids for food.

Well, I really like both choices so far so I expect I'll see mine along soon :pac:

I think JT is the only one I genuinely didn't like. Really tough category

Art of Trance - Swarm

Very trancey. I can dig some trance sometimes. The video reminds me of Koyaanisqatsi. I like it. Animals in swarms in slo-mo. Whats not to like. Not as much depth as some the other entries perhaps. The shifts in the music suit the visuals quite well.



14th and 5 points goes to

Rudimental - Waiting All Night

Not a huge fan of the song itself. I like the chorus but the rest is kinda noisy, plus it has some annoying girl singing over it. Drum and base isn't a favourite genre of mine. Its a decent enough video. Tells a great story. I had to look up some background. I thought the footage was real at first but turns out it isn't. The biker himself is the real guy who went through the story being told but the footage is recreated. I don't like the grainy shakey cameras they go for. It tries to make you think its entirely genuine and real, and that's what they are going for, but I felt misled in believing it was 100% real. It's an inspirational story but I found myself too distracted with how the video was put together.



12th and 7 points to

Peter Gabriel, Sledgehammer

I was fascinated by this one growing up. The twitchy stop motion actually freaked me out a bit. I rediscovered it a few years back when I watched a short documentary on Gabriel, and I absolutely love this song. A great pop video all in all. It would have ranked higher if it didn't stir an unsettling childhood feeling.
