Wow... Well, enough said? The video I was going to pick for this honorable title might have offended, so the one will definitely work instead. Hopefully no one in the class is from Finland. The song is called "I Wanna Love You Tender." The artists are Armi and Danny, a couple of Finnish singers.
I hate this video probably because it is agony to watch. It makes me ask questions like, "Why?" and "What is the point?!?" and definitely not in a good, mysterious way, either. The video appears to be really old, so it deserves a little bit of slack, but this one really takes the cake and abuses the privilege.
First of all, the dancers look ridiculous from the start. They are barely in sync with one another. And the actions (can you call them dance moves?) that they are doing aren't that appealing to the eye anyways.
Secondly, the two main singers show no emotion in their faces what-so-ever. I am reminded strongly of robots, stuck in the same ridiculous smile for no reason. The man is especially guilty of this. He just stands there, grinning stupidly, as he sings some lyrics that shouldn't be smiled at.
Thirdly, the whole "fake space / disco dance floor" scene just doesn't work. Like every other aspect, it does not fit the song. It comes across as tacky, alongside the costumes and the song itself, actually. That foundation of a really good song isn't even there, so it's hard to build off of that.
Overall, the music video is just pointless. Nothing done in it makes any sense or serves any purpose. I believe a music video should enhance the music in some way, by added the visual element. However, I would have loved this song much more tenderly, I think, had I just heard the lyrics without being put throught the misery of watching it.
