"West Coast" music video nominated for VMA

Recommended Posts

I like the song and the video has grown on me but ... don't think she stands a chance with that one. They should have taken SoC ^^

 

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. I actually loved West Coast but Shades Of Cool is a whole different thing. It's beautiful. Would have had a bigger chance.

Oooo wonderful. I'm sure there is a thread on here somewhere about her public discussions about this topic? I'm still pretty new and don't know how to search to my full capacity! :) thanks

Ultraviolence & Pretty When You Cry

 

Although I think the latter might be a homemade video

I hate MTV VMA :bored:

Always the same... and this year - "the queen Beyonce" - WTF? Queen?

 

And many of disgusting people like: Usher, Ariana Grande and 5 Seconds of Summer  :facepalm:  :facepalm:  :facepalm: 


There's something I had never told you I'm not really from this world...

West Coast is beautiful, very cinematic and full of references. But Mtv and the shitty Pop World is not prepared for Lana yet. If other singers are "queens", Lana Del Rey is Aphrodite herself. Ave Lana.

Ariana Grande is far from 'disgusting' :awk:

Life is awesome, I confess. What I do, I do best.

Well, WC is ... atmospheric. But that's it.  Not that Beyonce's videos would be very special or anything ....

The Blue Jeans video by Woodkid was also "just" atmospheric, however it had much more interesting shoots and scenes, even if it was just Lana swimming in a pool with some crocodiles and a tatooed guy.

West Coast has some nice shots and it fits the music, but .. yeah, could have definitly been better and more diverse

 

But if i had to judge about "good musicvideos", I would rather chose things in the style of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Sacrilege" ... It's really like some sort of short movie with some interesting cutting-technique. Without taking the focus away from the song, or featuring thousands of "music-less" scenes or monologues ....

 

So I wouldn't say "Music world is not prepared for Lana's WEST COAST" video, since even if you are a huge fan of it, you can't deny it's not very spectacular or original.


Shades Of Cool would have told a story without being super-straightforward and it's very cinematic. Shame they didn't nominated this one ....


Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!
