Pamette Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I absolutely dislike it... and YES I'M BLOODY SERIOUSworse vid ever I miss the old Mika *runs for cover before anyone throws stones at her* I agree with you! I don't recognize Mica in that video! The beginning was great but when he's "in space" taking the poses Great until 1:20 I understand now why Yasmine laughed so much when they made the video.

deconstruction Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Wow! I have to say I LOVED that video! I'm so glad, cos I was disappointed with the video for Big Girl. But this video's awesome! I really hope we get this single here in Oz. Would love to see the vid doin' the rounds on TV! *giggles at the singing dolls* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showtunes17 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Ok i don't like it! The video seems abit far fetched. Less close - ups and mostly him floating about. Really boring...LOVE the song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryap8 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Ok i don't like it! The video seems abit far fetched. Less close - ups and mostly him floating about. Really boring...LOVE the song though. i wish they wouldve gone in a different direction as well, i really liked the beginning in bed but it felt really like corny and cheesy when he went up to space...i wouldve really liked to have seen like a choir standing in the background with him on the piano or something and in black n white or something...and not in space too but other than that it was ehhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbm Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yay its out! The whole flying thing is a little cheesy, but I think the way the video was done was very clever. I don't hate it so thats good haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy_daisy Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I LOVE THE VIDEO! IT'S SO CREATIVE AND ORIGINAL! I agree that Mika is making poses half of the time, but I don't think it affects the video at all. I'M SO EXCITED IT'S ALREADY OUT ON THE WEB! And the song beat sounds different, but i do like it. My favourite part is when he is in bed and all the creatures are nodding and bliking behind him. And i rather liked the part where the hands appear. On eof my favourite Mika vids, no doubt about it.

lollipopgirl83 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I thought it was OK...I liked the balloons and stuff, but I will admit the singing animals and the hands were a wee bit creepy...but I still love the song...I'm glad that the edit didn't change the song too much...

Stephane Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I LOVE THE VIDEO! IT'S SO CREATIVE AND ORIGINAL! It's so NOT lol! It's a remake of the movie The Science of Sleep with Gael Garcia Bernal & Charlotte Gainsbourg lol The video is cheap from the begining of the 2nd verse! The new drum beat is awful...

Yoppappop Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 i didn't know something could be at the same time cheesy AND creepy... thank you for making me discovering things, mika team ! for the band, i think they're getting rid of them progressively, he said it at the very beginning of his career, they're not a group : he's a singer, and they are musicians... if you look at the videos, one after the other, in chronological order, you'll understand what i mean : we see them less and less, until Happy Ending, where we don't see them anymore... maybe it's for people to focus on mika and not on the band ! my opinion and interpretation... i quite like the "creepy" parts of the vid (singing dolls, drawings and hands) but def not the cheesy part, as not surprising for me (all the rest of the vid bed part, star hands, flying, shining, blah blah blah)... well... i don't dislike it... but i'm not convinced, once again... that makes 3 vids out of 5 i don't like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was a remake. Is there a link of the original i can see? I've never seen it, so I guess that excuses me. Anyway, I stick to the rest of my comment: the vid is beautiful and the new beat adds a little something to the song. Why don't you like it? Just curious to know.

I hadn't noticed that. But the band is really disappearing progressively. I love them, but after all Mika is a solo artist. So I could understand if he decides to include them less and less on his videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elanorelle Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I am not overly impressed. it lacked the emotion. I did not feel moved it was cutesy and very colourful and happy..but its a bittersweet song. I wanted to cry with this video..I didn't i prefer to see my own "video" in my own mind in the original..

lovelove_mika Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I felt a sort of numbing emotion with it. and to me, i think it's so strong. that probably makes absolutley no sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazy_daisy Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 mind you it was at first glancemaybe I have to see it again a few times I didn't feel anything on first seeing it, but, the second time, the song really touched me. It has something sad and melancholic at the beginning, but in the end it's completely happy. I don't know. But I love the video, because, to me, the best videos or books or songs or whatever are those which leave me with an ambivalent feeling, between joy and sadness. But that's just me, I suppose.

CazGirl Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 when i first watched the video i never really felt any emotion, i was too busy concentrating on the content of it. but now that i've watched it a few times i feel cold on certain parts...but that's because ive managed to take it all in now. i understand what people mean when it lacked emotion. if there was a choir involved and it was "down-to-earth" so to speak or something like that, or an actual storyline in the video rather than symbolism, i think there would be more emotion in it. i can also see why people don't like it...i can't imagine mika liking the video much either. but i think it's because it's a different style of music and therefore a different style of video. It IS a bit cheesy with all the flying and everything, but there's a lot of symbolism around it so it kinda holds down that cheesiness. if that makes sense. At least the effects were good.
