Current Will Young video, linked because it’s always worth watching a Will Young video:
Turn Me On by Nicki Minaj and David Guetta
Ok, look, I need to talk about this video. I understand that David Guetta is a creepy dude building artificial women and it’s all a bit steampunk, but I have feelings about the rest of it. And yes, I know I'm overanalysing a music video but clearly some thought went into this. Just not enough.
1. How does Nicki’s skin stop being shiny?
2. Why is she the only steampunk robot mannequin who looks like an actual person? If it’s because she’s the pinnacle of his efforts why does he make another one? (possibly because she runs away)
3. Why is the complete storyline of the video not simply ‘David Guetta created Nicki Minaj but she’s an evil steampunk robot so she comes back for revenge WITH AN AXE’? Whyyyy?
4. Why does the creepy new mannequin (also quite human looking but not as good as Nicki) get down on her knees and kiss Metal David Guetta’s hand?
5. WHY ON EARTH DOES DAVID GUETTA TURN INTO METAL?
6. Have the naked mannequins at the end realised that Nicki is a better bet than Creepy Metal David Guetta, and is that why they’re running after her?
7. Why couldn’t they make this video MAKE SENSE? It’s so close to brilliant.
Ah well.
