MINT VIDEOS!

I guess I will start this because it's been bugging me for so long! There are things "in general" about MC's video that I would like to see but haven't. For once, I would love for them just to play into the game of the video they're doing without actually showcasing that they're a band. I mean, we know that they're musicians...and yes, there are some that don't know, but just to see them have "fun" with the video they're doing without their instruments would be a nice change!

Your thoughts...

I agree with you Totally. For all the things you've stated...that is why I love the "Someone to Love" video

Nah, I'm probably the only one who will disagree. I like when instruments are being showcased... it really shows that they are a band and not just another singing group. To me, when they don't play in their videos, yes the videos are still good, but I prefer them to play their instruments while having fun at the same time which makes the video more live and interesting.

It's like Stevie Wonder not playing a piano in his videos or Earth Wind and Fire not playing in their videos and doing "acting" instead. I really wouldn't enjoy it as much and doesn't really show case their musicianship. (Even though they are not really playing in the videos.)

And as much as I love "Someone to Love", the video is barely average to me.....dancing in some sand desert with open chested shirts, then playing basketball, then chillin' and leaning up on a taxi, while Larry is using drum sticks to hip up a mail box ain't really do it for me (Larry doesn't even play the drums..he play keys!!!). Now I know this was a 1994 summertime song and were trying to have fun, but I really wasn't feeling it like that. The only person that had an instrument and was playing was Jeff and Rick and bit. They should of done a video something like performance at a large venue while showing scenes of the different people in the audience showing their affection for each other or something like that.

That's why my favorite videos are "Swingin" and "What Kind Of Man". Nothing but raw instrumentation with the video to match what the song is saying. In these videos, nobody gets of the stage to go dance, or beat up a mailbox. LOL.

Sorry for writing an essay.

I like "U Send me Swingin'" video,too, because they are dancing while playing instruments. I like the way it was shot. Cool effects.

I like "Someone to Love" video the Guys playing Basketball in it. & "NoBody does it better" dancing around like crazy.

I like the Nobody does it Betta video too. I pretty much like all of their videos except, If you love me(because it made no sense). I love that song so I endure the video, lol

I agree with you on that if you're talking about the recent video they did! :)

Kerilewis...it's GREAT that you wrote an essay. :) This was probably a topic that needed to be discussed and I welcome your opinion wholeheartedly. :)

But let me say this, I'm not against the fact that they shouldn't have their instruments. They're a band of "musicians" and should showcase that! I welcome that! But for ONCE I would like for them to "play" with the song on a story level MORE than they have. I can honestly say this is coming from videos like "Whoaa"; "Nothing Left To Say" which are not some of my favorites.
