I thought I had seen the worst of the worst with Mary J. Blige’s video “Just Fine”.
Then this morning I saw Seal’s video for “Amazing”.
What is this, a Electrotrash-off? Each video is equally bad but I honesty can’t decide between MJB and Seal. MJB couldn’t dance her way out of a paper bag and the busted 80s dance moves nearly do her in, but then Seal has a strong entry that utilizes not only wonky graphics but also has him wearing the gayest scarf I have ever seen in my life. And not that there is anything wrong with having a gay scarf, but come on. Whomever styled the video should have their creative license revoked.
In the end I think Seal’s video wins the title, but only because it’s a blatant rip-off of JT’s video for Lovestoned. And I honestly thought that one was bad and it couldn’t get much worse (the ending sealed the deal). How naive of me. Eh, 97.5% of music videos still suck.
