If the videos were well thought-out, they would be so much better. Like there are individual scenes in PIU that look amazing but when you throw it all together it looks tragic
The scenes where she's on the throne wearing money heels > our lives. I was so excited when she posted those pictures on IG the night before. She looked like a stripper/pimp hybrid that concept/aesthetic was so cool and would've been perfect had they planned it in advance (costumes, lighting, scenery, etc.)... instead she showed up on set and they made a video out of whatever they had
The Diamonds video is great (I've finally seen the light) because it had a clear vision and they executed it perfectly. Her storytelling videos are great because they are well-planned. Sure, there may be some improv but they obvisouly knew what material they needed. With a lot of the TTT and UNA videos it's obvious that they didn't think things through
Well she had an issue with PIU directors so I don't think it's because it wasn't properly planned...
I was not really hooked on Diamonds on the first listen, although I loved the "shine bright like a diamond" hook, but by the 2nd or 3rd listen I was already obsessed! <3
I listened to the premiere on Z100 and they played the song twice, then WFL, and then Elvis Duran started playing OG cause he said he was on a Rihanna mood or something but somebody cut the song off to play something else
Well Rihanna told us it would be laidback and all.. I don't know how y'all were expecting a WFL type song.
2012 was the year i got into stan culture.
That's also when i found ATRL (summer 2012) but didn't lurk much in the beginning and i didn't use Twitter.
The only things i knew were that she's releasing a lead single and a the lyrics she posted.
I love the tude boy video!
and i get the ydo hate but its not as bad as the wfl video. The video is boring and look so cold. Is doesnt go with the warm island feel of the song at all
I think the setlist will have more "dance songs" cause the dancers are rehearsing for a week now and the only songs performed with dancers here are WFL, WHYB, PIU & Rude Boy, and I don't think they will change the choreos for these songs
It wouldn't be that surprising. I mean those dancers did other things since TMT, I doubt they remember the moves exactly and they've also have to learn their new cues, how to move around the stage, formations etc etc..

“I know that my journey with her has always been about exploring deep emotional narratives. But [videos like] ‘Russian Roulette,’ ‘Disturbia,’ ‘Man Down,’ ‘Only Girl (In the World)’ … most of them take on a more linear journey,” Mandler told MTV News. “With this one, I felt the need to create a wider landscape; almost hint at things, go into things, then get out of them, and not allow people to attach themselves to too much … they needed to feel like dream vignettes, like, when you wake up from a dream, you realize what you were dreaming about is not really what it was about, it was about something else.
It is confusing, at times it feels like there's one storyline but then it switches to something else. Various symbolism and hidden meaning.
