If you want a quick hit of visual awesome go to 57 minutes and watch it for a bit.

However can a film made by 2 of the most successful dance musicians of all time be considered obscure?

She sounds like a young Michael Jackson. Great cover.


I thought exactly the same!

Did he get that all on film?

Never see the big, church staple, when I call you on the phone
Never feel the rush of angels, when we stay up late alone
Never whisper you a great love story, only scream and cry or more
But you’re a good man, but you’re a good man
I keep telling myself to just let go
O-o-oh, let go of the one who took all your gold

I get home and there’s a love note waiting,
But only he is here tonight
And the words, the ṗromises you’re making
Only echo all his lies
And for every sweet nothing you whisper
Why is goodbye my reply?
Cause you’re a good man, cause you’re a good man
I keep telling myself to just let go

There was someone that I knew before, a heart from the past
But I can not forget, and let him take all my gold, and hurt me so bad
But now for you, I have not been loved of all my go-gold

Stare my heart blank, am I ever gonna let him go? Get my gold back
And today I was a dead girl walking, city light birds, room for tears
Heard you say my name and get to talking of the love and all the fears
And you saw all the pain I was holding, and yet still you’d hold me near
Cause you’re a good man, cause you’re a good man,
I keep telling myself to just let go

There was someone that I knew before,
A heart from the past, that I can not forget
I let him take all my gold, and hurt me so bad
But now for you, I have nothing left

Cause there was someone that I knew before
A heart from the past, that I can not forget
I let him take all my gold, and hurt me so bad
But now for you, I have nothing left
All my gold

What is a poll anyway, if not the whim of the pollster and a few willing participants?>> ^TheSluiceGate:
Are you fucking kidding me. How about a poll for "Ugliest Gold Star Videosifter"?

I'd do odds on the side that my mugs more comelier than yours-Care to slap a recent photo up against one a mine of yer self there, Sluicegate?? Recently shorn~


Donald Trump has taught you everything he knows I see....

What a complete fucking turbo douchebag. But she said "Yes" so she deserves him.

OK, 2 things really suspicious about this video:
1) I'm pretty sure I can hear autotune artifacts (I work with audio / vocalists a lot) and a vocal that is consistently too in pitch.
2) Notice at 2:49 the microphone is absolutely miles from her mouth and the vocal is still entirely consistent, no evidence of a change in level or tone that you'd expect a microphone to display (re: proximity effect) - this hints to me at the vocal being pre-recorded. They also cut away at this point which makes me even more suspicious.
Also:
3) The US version of the same show, produced by the same production company, has admitted using autotune: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11056050
This coming from a person who got goosebumps for the amazing TV debut performances of both Alexis Jordan and Bianca Ryan who were both imperfect, but utterly thrilling.

1. I think you're hearing things. Specifically, some of her high to low runs and a couple rising melodies beginning with low notes at the bottom of her range are slightly off key. The way she leads into notes using the back of her throat creates a slight buzz that makes her voice sound autotuned.
2. The beginning of the word "butterflies" comes out at a lower volume as she brings the microphone to her face.


1) It's the texture of the audio of the vocal and not the pitching that leads me to believe it's auto tune. Autotuning has a sound, and it's not necessarily to do with the pitching of the note. A bit like how tape or MP3s of even a specific type of pre-amp has a specific sound carachteristic.

2) I think that any slight dip in volume is because it's a low note outside of her range, but my point was not to do with volume, but to do with proximity effect. With the exception of omni-directional microphones the frequency response of a microphone changes with distance from the source of the sound- simply put: the further the mic is away from the person's mouth the thinner and less bassy it becomes. Even a change in gain / volume will not mask this.

This is one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time.
Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin would fail to write something as funny as this.
A modern day Sisyphus.

Does anyone know why this video looks warped at times? I've seen others like this and can't figure it out.


It's YouTubes new image stabilisation effect that artificially steadys wobbly hand held footage that is uploaded.

It's only a matter of time before Kanye West uses this effect in a video as if he invented it.
