So James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" won an award for best cinematography in a video. Anyone else whe thought that the only video of those nominated in that chategory that deserved an award was Black Sweat?

It shouldn't have even been played on the video channels, let alone get an award. Those video channels play nothing but boring dead shit and Prince has no place there.

Black Sweat sucks ass.

The Song has such a great tribal/thumpin' sexy beat that It really deserved a much sexier video.

I mean, Prince stands. He makes a face. And he sits down in a chair. WTF?

Kinda makes you wonder if the hip surgery rumors were true.

the video was standard . . should not get awards

Well,I stopped watching when I found out that Prince didn't win,so whatever...

I thought the Black Sweat Video was the best one he had done in years. I loved the stylized look it had.

"I gotta brand new dance...I just cant demonstrate it at this point in time. Check out this chick's booty though. Nice, yes?"

Black Sweat: an egotisticly nature self proclimation in verse and weak anoying beats had no place. It was a full fledged fuckup.

Meanwhile a statement of externalized afermation, U'r Beautiful, was well placed as the winner according to collective consciousness.

But doesn't that describe alot of todays music?

I wouldn't classiphy it as "alot".

A good quantity is much more useful.

Sometimes Music can just be for fun.
Sometimes Music can be for spiritual awakening.
Sometimes Music can be for self security as it pertains to a unified people.

Prince seems to have forgoten what music is for, so he's putting us to sleep with his snoring.

It didn't surprise me that Prince didn't win- the VMA's have sucked for years.

I use this a lot here recently.

superspaceboy said:

I agree.

MickG said:

But cinematography hasn't got anything to do with music. It's about the video. Which I thought was a cool piece of art. And an obvious winner in my eyes.

VenusBlingBling said:

Without no script there would be no movie.

Without no song there would be no music video.

I'm gonna hav2a disagree with your findings.

If music has nothing to do with cinematography in a music video, why have the music in the video?

When was the last time you just watched the photography with the sound turned down? I'm sure, that might make Prince's latest videos better however. Thanks for the tip.

MickG said:

I knew you would go there...lol. Sure, the music is important too. Song: Black Sweat, video: in black and white. A funky song with a funky video. Well, whether you like the song itself or not, the video matches it perfectly, in a good way. It's a piece of art. Now, it's obvious that some of you agree with me and some don't. That's alright. I'm nice so I give you the permission to disagree with me. And now I better go to bed before I say something stupid... (no comments on that last sentence, please!)

It didn't bother me that Black Sweat didn't win. I actually like James Blunt Beautiful video very much.

VenusBlingBling said:

Let us take a look at the Black Sweat Video. What does the video show when Prince sings the line "I'll have you screaming like a white lady"?

MickG said:

Get it?

but it did not deserve an award

Me too. I seen him on Oprah yesterday. He is kind of a cutie but he have a strong accent which I couldn't understand him at times but his accent does make a good use on his song Beautiful.

Sometimes subtleness is sexier than outright in-your-face; at least that's how I interpreted it...




I didn't expect Black Sweat to win, but it would have been cool. At least the Ashlee Simpson video didn't win. lol.

all awards really do is attempt to fill the hole inside caused by exoteric vanity

So James Blunt is doing something special in his video? At almost 50 I don't expect P to a fucking back flip.

sacredwarrior said:

Awards, are meant as a "thank you" to give a phyical representation of gradidutued for achievement.

It was a very boring video.
Also, the black and white treatment didn't add anything to the mood of the video either. It seemed to lack any purpose.
