IHE 557 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Btw, Why do Monsters always make it so obvious that they truly pressed about Katy's success? It's rather transparent of them. I mean give the girl props when they are due. The video is absolutely brilliant, most of Katy's videos are. So what if it's not all "dark & mysterious?", it's still fun to watch & a visual treat. I'm pressed because someone with such a lack of talent is so readily accepted while the real artist, Gaga is continually hurt by the media. Monsters aren't pressed out of jealousy. Monsters are pressed because none of Katy's output merits the level of success she has and nothing she does isn't heavily created by a huge team of song writers. Katy herself has said she is a product and she totally accepts that fact. Gaga is unique and true to herself with real talent on the stage and she does not rely on her looks or team to propel her career. She deserves so much more than she is getting. I should think this is pretty obvious and anyone throwing around how pressed some fans are obviously aren't stepping back to properly evaluate why. It's cool you like the video, but a whole hell of a lot of people don't and they don't like it because it's very generic and foolish. Just because you are in the minority with your opinion does not invalidate the opinions of everyone else. Edited February 21, 2014 by IHE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retep 0 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 ey This is the only look and scene I really dug from the video, this was flawless. It just looks beyond cheap, even if they were going for a camp video they didn't need to make it look like it was on a Party City budget. The song's still sick, the video just could've been a lot better for it probably being one of her bigger hits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasingGhosts 726 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Fan since 2007! These guys would have no idea who they are They go for mainstream music because it's successful :P Um I've never heard of Epica and I don't listen to 'mainstream' music. In fact, Gaga is the only pop star I love Don't presume. Born This Way > Joanne > The Fame Monster > The Fame > ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tristessa 0 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Cheetos.... okay Katy, as if the video wasn't cheesy enough, we get the idea. It felt sort of like a really bad attempt at trolling and almost like something Miley would do. It didn't fit the song at all in most parts, but it did what it set out to do and there were some really cool, bright visuals in there that I enjoyed, the entire last sequence where she's spreading her wings especially almost starts to bring out more of the mood of the song. It's just very Katy.. nothing unexpected but it was.. cute, I liked some of the visuals. The camp/humor was really obvious and forced which ruined it a little, especially with such a dark song, but that's what they were going for I guess.

blubrryxkisses 15 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm not a fan of Katy and not a hater either and I really love this song. But I have to say that, quite honestly, I questioned whether or not I got the wrong link for the video when it first started... It just kinda seems like, very rushed in the editing and the story line and comedic elements are forced to the point of being almost cringe worthy. It doesn't feel like a mega pop star's music video in terms of quality. It feels to me more like a tv sketch comedy skit gone wrong. :/ I mean, to each his own... There are obviously many who are digging it, so that's good. I just feel like I missed the "fun" and instead can only see the crudeness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphaz 7,931 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I can't at some of you Katy is the Queen of GP, she makes music for the masses, and her music video is very fun most of the time, that's why she's popular and DH video is enjoyable and fun, and cute too she looks gorgeous I'll not be surprised if this earn millions of view in matter of hours, and Dark Horse will probably stays on Hot 100 for another couple of weeks and for those who said the video have nothing to do with the song, there is no rule stated that the story of the video have to reflect what the song is about, Telephone says hello :roll: no wonder Katy's thread always get locked, they are filled with nasty comments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Axel 557 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Some of the imagery was great, like when she was in the wall with the anubis sculptures and junk, but all in all it was just tacky, didn't fit the song, and why does she feel the need to always throw humor into her videos nowadays? ʟɪᴠɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴏʟᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱɪʟᴠᴇʀ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍ ϟ†▽✰𝒿 ~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humor is like sophisticated gimmick . Her image is flawless PR-wise : - popstar but brunette (blonde popstars have bad artistic-wise reputation in general publics eyes I think) - adding humor makes her able to do the tackiest and cheapest things without being judged, because "she is such a fun crazy girl" Edited February 21, 2014 by mic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raikov 183 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm disappointed she chose to go for a humorous route. I don't feel it matched the song's vibe at all. The opening scene on the boat had a gorgeous palette, but it becomes tacky when she's on the throne turning people into sand. The sound effects were unnecessary. I like humor and I appreciate Katy's silly videos like Roar and Hot N Cold, but I think Dark Horse could have had a cool video with a more mysterious and "badass" vibe as opposed to... this. I guess I'm just let down that she played it safe instead of doing something different (it didn't even need to be that different, it could still be s-xy if she wants that, but this looked like a joke).
