Strangely, when it comes to vids I tend to get either incorrigibly low rent (voted both for Spesh and Donk) or ridiculous (Kanye); if I'd nominated would have gone for stuff that might not be eligible: fan vids or boots or Taylor Swift's live "Take A Bow," just her and guitar delivering the song in a way that Rihanna and Ne-Yo couldn't, or maybe Taylor at the ACMs (high rent, out of tune, and extravagantly, audaciously ridiculous). However, Erykah was my number four; I like both the concept and execution but think that once you get the idea it doesn't maintain its impact over multiple viewings.

The Alphabeat vid makes me like the song less. Low-rent style can be a yes; antistyle is usually a no.
