Yeah, I didn't like how the video was trying to be funny a lot of the time. I loved a lot of the close up, "serious" looking shots in the bridge because it really fit the mood of the music, but then it would cut to shots of those four old guys behind her dancing all silly and it killed it for me.
But honestly, I don't hate the music video and I would list it as among her best if it didn't have stupid will.i.am in it. Who in their right mind would even think that that verse is worthy of inclusion?
Personal note here, but seeing the LA backdrop during the bridge makes me tear up because I miss the city so much. I'm up in Seattle right now until I can make enough money to move back. Luckily I have a job interview in the morning!
