Il video è uscito praticamente in questi secondi, quindi intanto beccatevelo! Poi commenterò dopo averlo visto!
Ok, visto.
Vabbeh dai niente di che, video tranquillo, senza troppe pretese, ma che merita un mini "A Music Video Story" (se cercate il testo...lo trovate in fondo al post!).
Beyoncé in guêpière
Beyoncé vestita da sposa che sbraccia su un prato
Beyoncé che viene bellamente scaricata in un fantomatico ballo del 1998, dal best thing she never had.
Beyoncé che si accoppia con una colonna del giardino
Beyoncé e il neo-maritino
Beyoncé che si fa strappare la giarrettiera dall'arrapato neo-maritino
Beyoncé che rimorchia un bambino di 7 anni
L'amico iper-gay di Beyoncé!

Alla fine comunque non mi dispiace, soprattutto per il "contrasto", tra testo e canzone. Se da una parte il testo parla di una storia d'amore finita (per fortuna), dall'altra, il video ci mostra le immagini allegre del matrimonio, che verosimilmente si "ambientano" dopo gli avvenimenti del testo.
E' curioso notare che sia Beyonce che Lady Gaga, dopo i più o meno flop dei precedenti singoli, caratterizzati da iper-produzioni e video iper-elaborati, abbiano scelto la via della semplicità e più o meno sobrietà, scegliendo due singoli e girando due video molto semplici e molto "old-style", senza coreografie di sorte o mille effetti speciali.
Per quanto riguarda Gaga, sembra che la mossa abbia funzionato, speriamo valga lo stesso per Beyoncé!

Che sia finita l'era del pop sintetico, e sia tornata l'era di una musica meno artefatta e più "vera"?
Ai posteri l'ardua sentenza...o a voi se avete voglia di commentare!
Come piccolo "bonus", vi lascio anche il testo della canzone, così potete assaporare quel contrasto che vi ho fatto notare prima!
Beyonce - Best Thing I Never Had
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
Boy I, must've been outta my mind
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed you ass and I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
So baby good lookin' out
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with it
Cuz honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'm gon' always be the best thing you never had
I bet it sucks to be you right now
So sad, you're hurt
Boo hoo, oh, did you expect me to care?
You don't deserve my tears
I guess that's why they ain't there
When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you
You showed you ass and I saw the real you
I know you want me back
It's time to face the facts
That I'm the one that's got away
Lord knows that it would take another place, another time, another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodby
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through it that
Cuz honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I will always be the, best thing you never had.
Best thing you never had!
I used to want you so bad I'm so through it that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oh you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oh I will never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)

Oddio no dai...lei con ce la vedo in questa veste!
RispondiEliminaA me piace...
RispondiEliminaNel senso, non mi travolge forse, però sono d'accordo con Sticky nel dire che questi video più semplici e meno pretenziosi sono forse più piacevoli, e più "umani", di quelli tutti elaborati e iper prodotti a cui stiamo assistendo ultimamente.
Vabbe', mia opinione personale. :)
Comunque, in questo video Beyoncé appare finalmente come quello che è, una ragazza come tutte le altre... E questo mi piace molto. :)
