CroatiaGeisha 19 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 That's not quite true. Plenty of critics mentions those things, just usually negatively and with unquestioned incredulity that any of it could be meaningful. I should clarify. My point is that the majority of critics will view performances and video as secondary to the music and therefore won't invest much energy into a--lyzing them. That's the way we've basically been conditioned to view visual pop performances- more like "complements" done solely for entertainment, and not something really all that important to make sense of. Here is an example of a random pop music blogger who actually tries putting some thought into Gaga's AMA performance and ending up largely successful: http://www.divadevotee.com/2013/11/Lady-Gagas-2013-AMA-Performance-Of-Do-What-U-Want-Explained.html And here is RollingStone not even bothering to a--lyze it, even though the performance itself practically begs for it: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/american-music-awards-2013s-biggest-winners-and-losers-20131125 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
