Christina Aguilera "Hurt" and Jay-Z "Show Me What You Got"
These two videos are linked in my mind, perhaps because they came out on back to back days - but I think there is also something deeper tying them together.
These two videos are both prime examples of "execution" clips. Nothing new or different here, just two established artists doing what they do well.
No ground is broken, but sometimes that is okay. Nobody goes to see the Rolling Stones in concert to hear the new stuff, we all wanna hear "Satisfaction" and "Wild Horses." Both the Christina and the Hova clips fall into the category of "if it ain't broke - don't fix it.
"
Update: The Sony website has a good quality version of the "Hurt" video .
Conceptually, this vintage circus look is cool and is just the kind of thing that Floria could take in a cool/weird direction. Did she?
Well, with Christina as her listed co-director, the visuals always stay between the lines. The look was all sepia and pretty - clearly focused on making Christina look Beautiful.
