CazGirl Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I don't know if my frail ego could take it Quite a lot of people like it (there were positive comments on PerezHilton actually, which is so surprising cos everyone on that site practically wants to kill Mika lol) so it could be quite a tight poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Do you think? I seem to recall endless arguments about his videos. ...well until we were all blinded by those boxers. I was thinking more of the dancing than purely the videos . I do recall a lot of discussion over the Happy Ending video. I had a few issues with that, but compared to this latest video it looks like a cinematic masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely prefer HE tahn BIOTG. Hell, I even prefer Love Today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywonka Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I've been thinking this over and i realised Mika should have done this BIOTG vid on his pants too... In fact, I think every vid from now on should be done with pants...That or vine leaves... Even if the music sucks to non fans they always have something quite interesting to have fun with... Peeps would start calling him The Boy Who doesn't Wear Much... Even older vids like BG, GK, HE should be redone... Mika would be in trouble hanging from the ropes in his pants though, in HE... But this is it....pants or vine leaves, nothing else...who's with me? Let's start a petition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially HE, then he wouldn't need to be mysteriously dressed by that ghost entity as he gets out of bed. He would just be wearing some nice undies or a fig leaf (even better). It would make much more artistic sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 What I like about the Mika dancing, is that yes, he's not the best dancer, but he doesn't care. I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I was thinking more of the dancing than purely the videos . I do recall a lot of discussion over the Happy Ending video. I had a few issues with that, but compared to this latest video it looks like a cinematic masterpiece. I'm so with you on that one, Gata I've been thinking this over and i realised Mika should have done this BIOTG vid on his pants too... In fact, I think every vid from now on should be done with pants...That or vine leaves... Even if the music sucks to non fans they always have something quite interesting to have fun with... Peeps would start calling him The Boy Who doesn't Wear Much... Even older vids like BG, GK, HE should be redone... Mika would be in trouble hanging from the ropes in his pants though, in HE... But this is it....pants or vine leaves, nothing else...who's with me? Let's start a petition? SOMEONE GIVE THIS WOMAN A MEDAL Ok, so I've watched the video again-A few times. And I still think that it looks bad. Of course Mika is gorgeous and so charming, etc, etc, so he can't looke "bad", but in my opinion he could look SO much better. And I don't mean his hairstyle or his outfit, I mean that the camera angles and the whole production of the video could put him in a far more flattering light. I don't really mind the dancing (Mika's) that much at all, as it has some charm, but what REALLY bugs me is: -At the very start, when he's in the little square with the panels, the way the camera rotates (which is in theory a great idea) is not good because you can see the studio lights above the square. To me, that should remain hidden in order to create the illusion that the "panel square" is all that there is to this reality plane. It looks sloppy that the camera angle is from so far that it allows you to break the illusion -Now that Caz pointed out the cane slipping, I can't help but focus on it and I agree: they should have redone that. -Later on, and throughout the whole video, the fact that when something is "happening" you can still see all the other things that are irrelevant in the background. Like when the girls are dancing in front of the panel and to the sides, you can still see a lot of what's behind them (those massive silver things, the stuff behind them, etc) -The girs' dancing is SERIOUSLY off. They miss steps, others just get out of synch when they should be in synch, and that thing (sorry I forget the name) where they are meant to make the shape and we see it from above them is just poorly executed as they get the shape totally wrong. -When they are doing long, sweeping shots of the area you can constantly see those white "studio" marks on the floor, which REALLY puts me off. They should have placed some sort of sheet on the floor in order to cover them, because it just makes the place look like a school gym and like they threw the whole thing all together at the last minute. -The lighting. There is none, bar the general "neon-ey" type light. I think that they should have used softer lighting and changed the different tones, using some sepia maybe at times, etc...Something to mimic smokiness would have helped as well...Or make some of the shots "nighttime", etc.. Play with light, play with shadow. It's just white, clinical and bland-Oh, and totally not atmospheric. All these things just make me get a vibe of "not really thought through" and it cheapens the video, making the whole production look cheap and unpolished. I don't believe that this is something that was seeked on purpose, and even in the unlikely case that it was, it just looks poor and sloppy (to me). I think that the actual idea, the concept, was great, but somehow it just went terribly wrong and the end product is a disaster. Ok, so not a total disaster, but quite bad. It's a shame, really, as it could have been really atmoshperic and "magical" using the era that Mika has in mind and the general "vibe" that he is going for, but it didn't work out IMO.

ThatRadFreak Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Honestly, i hate the video. It just looks so.... Bad. xD It could have been really good, really really good, but it's just...not. My favourite song has been ruined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Sara, this is for you: Well, thanks ma' dear, but why? It's just what I think, you know, what I SEE when I watch the video, and I can't but start thinking of all these other ways in which I think it should have been done. With WAG one can like the idea or not, but it can't be debated that the video is well shot and well made. This is different . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With WAG one can like the idea or not, but it can't be debated that the video is well shot and well made. This is different . Agree agree agree. Jazzy and I came up with an amazing concept ourselves lol And everytime I hear the song on CD I can't help but see PINK and GREY and those DANCERS in my head. Argh! Now, I like the pink and grey, think it suits Mika, but they're not colours I visualised when I heard the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatRadFreak Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Now, I like the pink and grey, think it suits Mika, but they're not colours I visualised when I heard the song I saw more of a monochrome, black and white, clear cut, snapped, sharp, precise. Not nearly monochrome, out of sync, messy and lame! =[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
