You know what else bothers me about the video/commercial?

The part when they are showing the "1-2-3...easy steps" to follow to download the song to your phone is right when the most guitar playing is. I wanna see Prince's fretwork, but that's the part we don't see. mad

very well said.

there's no one i want to see holding on there leg as if its a guitar giggle not even my own mother...

hmm well esp not my mother but ANYONE for that matter haha
In terms of video imagery, there's really no such thing as "never cool". Some things come really close, and this appears to be one, but it's an idea, that if executed correctly, could have been cool. Really, how can you go wrong with extended legs? Yet, somehow this does. Tznek is right, it's the jumping that ruins it. A move like that has to be done with ease, to be sexy and they seem to be struggling a bit with it. Still, it can be fixed in the edit.


OMG!! I am actually right abt something!! This is like TOTALLY cool!! woohoo!

But it did document something really bad.

Really, it's not that bad and most people will not notice it the first time, they'll just get the feeling that something isn't quite right...but by the third time, you realize that it's too bad that they are so distracting because those are really strong shots for Prince. Maybe they'll rotoscope him out or blur them a bit...if this is part of the final video.

It looks absolutely ridiculous. I hope Prince was not the choreographer who thought that was cool. disbelief Air guitar or "leg" guitar = not cool. ever.


(And this is not an "I hate the Twinz" thread, it's an "I hate the dance move when the Twinz play their legs like guitars" thread. I think that move would look equally ridiculous if Cat or Mayte or Prince did it too. wink )


but u didn't say if JJ Fad did it tho! wink
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

No. I was only talking about that one part. I like the black...and the whole video/commercial.
And actually, if the video were about something like, tornadoes or earthquakes, then that move might have been fitting.

Geez everyone its not THAT bad neutral ...it does capture your attention, and that is the point of the commercial, to get your attention. it looks a little awkward, but then again, have you tried to air guitar your leg without looking stupid? i havent (for obvious reasons) but im sure i'd either fall on my as or look like an idiot. its a good move, and it looks better during the slo-mo.
And duh the twins are hot! and they can obviously dance + sing, and they look good in front of a camera. why else would Prince have them around?

It's a silly song. No quite horrible actually. Such a waste of time.
