alright. am I the ONLY viewer of music videos who has a problem with the degree of empathy PORTRAYED in the video versus the degree of emotion delivered in the vocal performance???
to be more specific, and even provide an example... check this out [katy perry's 'ikissedagirl']
since the first time I saw Peter Gabriel singin about his sledgehammer, i've always noticed/had a problem with the direct connection between the amount of facial distortion it generally requires for singers to create the sounds that emit from their vo-boxes, to the cinematic sibling that ensues. now maybe this is just a result of actually watching singers live and in-studio, but I think we all know that when Mariah is nearing that solar-sharp-seventh note, her eyes flatten back farther than John Cho's after eight hits in the Kumar picture.
long story short, let's direct a video that displays the vocal excitement that goes right along with it, i will personally guarantee more sales.
stay up,

It's definitely not something I've ever noticed, and I watched this video a couple of times and it didn't strike me. I assume you're saying that her face would have shown a lot more in the studio when she was actually recording the song?
yeah basically. to hit the notes at the volume she's singing, with the emotion she's delivering... she'd look more like she was birthing Godzilla rather than the 'peeing-in-the-shower' look she has plastered on her face throughout this video.
