...I change clothes.
[By the way, I found this picture using Google. I think it's a horrible picture.]
The buzz around the office this morning was that the Bad Girl video wasn't great (actually, they said "horrible"), so--having never seen it--I checked it out. You may also.
I will say this: it was a pretty good concept--for mainstream anyway, if you're trying to follow the trends and capitalize off of what's hot at the moment. Not that I think that the comic book theme will ever not be hot, clearly we're in Gotham City, and The Dark Knight just came out a couple of weeks ago. But yea, the comic book theme is always clever.
But it wasn't pushed far enough. The entire song is built around a transformation, but in the video, there's more emphasis on the red light than on an actual transformation. And on top of that, when they do transform, all they do is change clothes to black. They were sexy from beginning to end, they were slightly maniacal from beginning to end, and Shannon's part looks like it was tacked on.
They need to fiddle around with their images a bit more, because they have lots of avenues open to them. Good songs on the album. They just need to push the envelope a bit more.
