Girls Aloud - Call The Shots

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

+ Nicola has the best bit all to herself
+ The stars go all whooshy after her big build-up which looks kinda cool
+ The song is still uber-awesome and I want to go and listen to it again right now pls.

- Cheryl and Sarah's fringes have been trimmed by their MUMS with a mixing bowl.
- No dancing. I know the lasses aren't exactly Queens of Choreography but a mid-paced song like this would really suit their slow-motion arm-waving etc.
- Kimberley looks well gormless when she's doing her makeup in the mirror.
- They spent all their budget on 'Sexy! No No No' so we're back to standing around in some sand and pouting.

hilarious things Americans do (off topic)

say 'bangs' instead of 'fringe'. e.g. rather than say 'I'm thinking of having my hair cut with a fringe', say 'I'm thinking of getting bangs'.

things this should sound more like...

+ Nicola looks stunning. I always thought she was the prettiest one and finally we have a video to back it up.
+ The whooshy stars are nice, if a little cheesy.

- Nadine's hair looks terrible.
- It's essentially a nice video in search of a concept. Not much happens, does it?

Didn't they shoot this in LA? I'm guessing that's what swallowed the budget.

Hey!

Where did blue_russian's video club entry go, it vanished just as I was posting a comment on it!

(The comment being: "I liked it! Presses my big ballad buttons, I kept expecting it to get big and it restrained itself until right towards the end. Would have probably got a win in an orgafun event.

I'm guessing now it was written by someone famous and unexpected.")

Still a bit underwhelmed by this GA but it's growing on me.

Which one is Nicola? Is she the ice-blonde, or is she running her hand listlessly through the water?

I like this video quite a lot! It draws out the song's inherent Depeche Modishness. It is certainly more expressive than Antonioni's previous music video, despite that previous one's featuring Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck in a rare appearance together.
