Bring in the Retro!!
It started with a simple video search for Maroon 5's latest song-Makes Me Wonder.its really addictive. and adam lavine looks great in a tux =)
After replaying the video for godknowhowmanytimes, and forgodknowswhatreason, I figured that Adam Lavine's high falsetto reminds me of Barry Gibb's of BeeGees.
I suppose this ada kaitan with American Idol's BeeGees week which was aired yesterday. It got me all nostalgic.
So I typed 'staying alive'. Followed by 'words', 'too much heaven', 'I started a joke','first of may'.. I wasnt dissapointed. BeeGee's still rock despite them being a 60's band.They were probably the first band I actually liked, considering my parents were huge fans.
Then, I started looking through the king of rock and roll (elvis's) collection, starting with jailhouse rock =p. Then I searched for unchained melody, hound dog, you dont have to say you love me, a little less conversation...
Oh he is sooooo freaking good!
So that is the story of how I spent my last 2 hours. Just enjoying myself listening to the music while staring unbelievingly at the young faces of BeeGees and seeing Elvis dance before he got to heavy to do so.
Needless to say, I started comparing.
Past MVs versus Current MVs
The 2 most noticable differences:
The time
Old songs are just so much shorter. Probaby an average of two and a half minutes. I keep asking myself 'eh, over already?' each time the music ends. Maybe people then were more into the quality instead of the quantity.
Or maybe perhaps they were just lazy.
The women
I think people who lived in that era are probably already in heaven, on the way to heaven or will eventually end up in heaven.
Cause their videos are so clean that our current MV would probably look like PORN videos in comparasion. Do you know that in Jailhouse rock, there wasnt a single woman present? Its weird.. and Elvis dances with puppets instead of a woman in one MV. So adorable!
Elvis to puppet maiden: "I declare my undying love to thee"
Which is so opposite to the current 'sex sells' industry. Everywhere and in almost any video, you see elements of sex. People sing about sexuality and sex. And they dance like they wanna do it.
and IT SELLS!
Which is why so many female singers are pressured into opting to do the same.
Which is sad.
Cause they have talent. They dont need no plastic boobs and blond hair to suceed.
Sorry ya folks for torturing you with so much words lately. Anyway, thanks for you blogders, whoever you may be, for putting up with me and my nonsense =)
