DerMoment1608 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 He really is tired at the 2-o'clock-shots In the video he and Ariana are fitting well, but in the Behind the Scenes clip I don't feel a big chemistry between them - more like "only colleagues", he doesn't radiates his normal excitement towards her.

Sabrinac Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 OMG I love it!!! :DDD I like more the song with priscilla renea but the video is very nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 The video is really pulling the song along -- it's hanging in the US iTunes charts surprisingly longer than I thought it would. It's crept up to #83 overall, and is at #27 on the Pop Chart. The video itself has been hanging at #7 as well. I'm pleasantly surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, but luckily I don't think it shows in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heywhatsthebigidea Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I love the part in the "Behind the Scenes" when Ariana says "I'm 19 and your, 21..." and then he says "I'm 29." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my favorite part as well, together when he has to bend in half to take pics with the little kids:wub2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heywhatsthebigidea Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So I just finished watching the "Popular Song" music video for probably the 5th time, and this time I saw a lot of things I didn't before. Here's the list (some of them are obvious) : chalk board says 'Arsenic Acid' and has several scientific formulas --- sign in the BG of the hallway scene says 'Join the Skeleton Club' adding to the goth atmosphere of the video ---there is a girl in hallway scene chewing gum and twirling it w/her fingers (gross, yet somewhat funny) --- the address in the BG of the hallway scene is backwards, but it says "5610" --- the license plate on the car says "P0PULAR" (but you probably already saw that) --- dollhouse in flashback scene is obviously (new) Fisherprice --- And now for ads: the car is obviously a Mini Cooper (the car company probably helped pay for the music video) --- the phones that they are using are SONY branded phones and you see that clearly during the close-ups on the texts (I'm pretty sure that the record label is associated with SONY and I'm certain that SONY paid for the video to be made) ----- So, those are the things I saw. This video was used for advertising, not only entertainment, but I'm fine with that. Reply what you think and if you found any other things.

nico_collard Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Oh, thought I'd better post this... The Auspop blog (which I believe is linked with Universal Music) posted something about the video... http://auspop.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/mika-ftg-ariana-grande-popular-song.html I also had a look at iTunes and Mika isn't charting from what I can see (can someone just tell me how to look at the iTunes charts so I know I'm doing it right?) but looking at the popularity chart thing when I search for the song, it appears to be popular...

Mischie Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I actually like it more than I thought, because I didn't really like the song and the fact it's a feat with a girl, but the clip is amazing ! Tim Burtonish and the looks he sends are ... so evil aha ! I'm in love again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guylainem123 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 from that site mentioned by nico ( by the way!) Aaah Mika. He who properly burst onto the international pop scene back in 2007 with his dizzyingly infectious single 'Grace Kelly'... And for whom we declared love for subsequent singles 'Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)', 'Love Today' and the seriously underloved 'We Are Golden'. We don't know what it is, but for some reason, Mika's dropped off our radar a little bit in recent years, but he's hoping to worm his way back into our psyche and our hearts with his new single 'Popular Song', roping in hot new thing Ariana Grande to further tempt us back into the Mika fray. Add to the mix a riff from the song 'Popular' from the stage show 'Wicked' and a clip which sees both Mika and Ariana cooking up something special for their classmates and you've got a bright, fluffy pop confection that's crafted for maximum addiction. Any guesses who might have helped foot the bill for the clip (below)? I guess it's obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicóla Ronaa Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) Sorry, but it is a good illustration of Tumblr's moods No offense to anyone, but this was mine. I made this as a joke because of the Tumblr response, but I wasn't sure it would get picked up...Am I Tumblr famous now?

Poisonyoulove Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It amuses me that "I will not talk during class" has been written and erased behind "arsenic acid". Also? The guy in front is wearing Mika's vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
