I just feel that Dave's videos are cheap half the time. Cheap as it poorly done, not cheap to make (which they probably are). I do love them, I just think that P!nk needs to step up her game and go for something truly epic. Have a little bit more care put into them. Sober has that nose ring from the double on P!nk's face, Stupid Girls has the coffee cup in the backseat coming and going, BM(OLK) has visible camera tracks, Funhouse has a disappearing candy cane during the piano scene. Things like that should be edited out and noticed and fixed.

Sober is by Jonas Âkerlund who is brilliant but like how you pointed out is not flawfree. I just remember that mess that was 'Telephone' with Gaga counting down to 1 in german subtitles (1 should have been 'eins' and not 'ein'). Things like that happen in music videos all the time and Dave is no exception.

I just think that if Dave can't do a video that looks professional, he should pack up and go home. Or come up with better ideas. Look at Blow Me, its views are tragic. Not even 60 million views 3 years later for a lead single. 65 million total if you add the colored version. I made my mom and her friend watch it when it premiered on MTV. They both were sooo underwhelmed and used the word "boring" and I must say that it really is. Like, use black and white film, not some crappy filter that 2011 Instagram wouldn't even use

Whatever made them think they should have used the b/w version - I just don't understand it. Is it really the fake blood and the red wine that made them think it could work out just to hire an Effects Supervisor? It just did its magic enough in the color version. The mansion in which P!nk was dancing and posing was not fully used. It could have easily been like 'Blank Space' - instead we didn't even get 1/4 of it.
It just seems that P!nk doesn't want to put too much money in videos when in reality she has no reason to hide her visual ideas from us. Maybe she's just not that creative?
Afterall I hoped her label would support her more or the directors she's working with may put more effort into her videos... just an exception: Floria made the most out of 'Try' in a positive way.
I wished she was that passionate about planning an era than trying to find new cheesecake recipes.
