turpsEarlier I asked about meta as related to the pop fandom. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
withdiamonds commented with something that made a lot of sense. I think of it as stuff like talking about footage, the music, writing, group history, info and anaylysis and opinion about present day activities for each of the boys, and bitching about JC's non-promo for his never-to-be-released CD. That sort of thing Donna, I hope you don't mind being quoted.
She also said we, as a fandom, don't do enough of that and I agree. I suspect that's because a lot of us have been together in this fandom for a long time. Maybe we think we know what everyone thinks, that you can only say something so many times.
I say, none of that matters.
So, I figured I'd try and get some conversation going. Something easy for now, because this could fall flat, but, shy bairnes get nowt and all that.
Last week a mini discussion about the This I Promise You video happened in my journal. Someone loved it, and the song. Someone wasn't so keen.
What do you think? Do you like the video? What crack were wardrobe on when they dressed them in those outfits? Why the boyband forest of doom? And how the heck does the cafe fit in? Is Joey the best thing ever with his ketchup eating ways? The bubbles. Why? What do you think of the song itself? Good, bad, so so? Is the video a good match for the song? If not, what would you have liked to see instead?
Just tell me what you think about the video and song. Just, no bashing. Disliking things is fine, outright bashing in my journal? That's a big no.
If anyone needs the actual video I'll upload it. If I can find it in my folders anyway.

ETA2:toeprint reminded me of the other TIPY that was recorded, Joey looking hot is here

I really can't comment much on the video because, I'll admit, my brain *melts* with Chris's closeups. From his sweater, to his ears, to his *eyes* I just sort of forget the others are there.
Although I just want to know... what's up with the bubbles?
(And hey, apropiate icon)

Date: 2007-03-06 12:08 pm (UTC)The video mostly provokes a wtf?! reaction from me. I mean, it looks nice, but makes no sense. I'm sure somewhere there's a storyboard that attempts to make sense of the whole thing, but personally, I just don't get it. Especially the bubbles.
Though now I'll always have a mental image of JC making his squirrel pants *g*
