hey,

Just came acros this blast from the past on youtube. I haven't seen this video since the song came out, some 15 years ago, and it's still as over the top crazy as I remember it to be.



what was the point of this? assuming there was a point. was this a joke? were they serious? is this meant to be sarcastic? is this over the line, or not at all? Anyone dare try to make sence of this

advisory: this might be racially insensitive,...all depends on the intent of the makers, and right now...I don't even know if they had an intent...I'm starting to believe they just raided the Mell Brooks 'history of the world' warehouse.

dont get me wrong i LOVE this song but i just thought the video was quite bizarre

^^

There's nothing "bizarre" about those videos.

I remember I had this friend who was crazy about Army Of Lovers... to me they just sounded like a good eurotrash band... And the video is just that... eurotrash without any special meaning... not bizzare in any sense (saying that I do remember I was hating this kind of music back then but it does bring memories back now and I am not so negative towards it anymore,,, anything but the constant hip-hop of today (I was a hip-hop fan back then lol)

be sure to note the erect penis with condom being pulled off
at 1:33.

weird enough for you?

ok, that was indeed rather bizarre when it came out

IstenSzek said:

Took three atempts to post that video lol

When I first saw it I thought it was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen lol And I love Michael, in fact I was an obsessed school girl at the time lol.

MJ pissed off some people when he had Elvis' daughter 1/2 naked in the video

Bizarre may be a little too strong, but they are little surreal to say the least. Especially when you put it in context to that artist's other videos e.g. Mariah or..e.g.


Got til it's gone, one of my favourite Janet videos but initially it was strange seeing Janet do a video like that after her previous videos like Runaway or Twentyforeplay which were pretty light in comparison.

AshK said:

i totall love that video. one of my fav janet vids ever

IstenSzek said:

I miss Velvet Rope Janet so much Everything about that era was great. Even the tour merchandise was better lol

I tried to watch the video but they said it was not available. Who is this band?

AshK said:

I think the WHOLE Velvet Rope era was a lil' "dark"(except for "Go Deep"), but SINCERE dark, and out of that depression came a heap of beautiful stuff

That is one of my top 5 videos, period.

AshK said:

me too. that's still a great album

Just for the record, I don't mind "bizarre" at all

Harlepolis said:

one of the best songs of the past few years

and the vid is great too

AshK said:

What so bizarre in that video? Nothing.

AshK said:

I find nothing bizarre about that one either

IstenSzek said:

Mine too!! Love how sexy Q-tip looked in that video too.

Of course it's all subjective. But come on, a near naked Michael posing with his near naked wife is surreal. If Prince or any other male artist came out with this video I wouldn't think anything of it, but it's Michael! The version on the History II DVD is even more bizarre where he's playing in the water dressed as an angel lol.

AshK said:

Right

Because MJ was not a human being.

missfee said:

he's a very sexy dude

seeingvoices12 said:

Oh chill, that's not what I'm saying at all, I'm not disparaging him but MJ didn't show his sexuality the *same way* other male artists did in their videos. The times he did have women in his videos is was part of a story, not just random posing like you expect from other artists.

AshK said:

AshK said:

Tha man had died you know,His sexulaity is none of anyone business.

But to give prince and other artists excuses while indicating that Mj did something wired in this video is really bewildering.


so because its part of story its unreal, and if its random posing its real that doesn't make any sense.
