Tori Amos - Big Wheel


QT

The lead-off single from Tori's forthcoming
album 'American Doll Posse' (May 1, 2007)
         
I'm not particularly enthused. The effort feels a bit lazy and comes off as pseudo-inspired. Finally, the vid gets old about 1/3 to 1/2 way through... However, it is Tori and like Bjork she has done quite a bit for music videos. It kinda hurts to see such adventurous pioneers struggling in the post-p2p music video era.
         
I almost posted this tonight, but I was too embarrassed. It's freakin' AWFUL. It's not even a video... it's an uninspired photo montage. "A bit lazy" is an understatement. For awhile there, I was really hoping it has just some fan-initiated joke. Why would she do this? At least Bjork still tries, even if she is slipping a bit.

And the video was boring.
         
holy fuck
         
Seems inspired by Cindy Sherman's work. Of course, I don't really care for her either.
         
That was truly awful.
         
I'm a huge Tori fan, but I'm not really up for this. I think her promotional works have been really lackadaisical for some time now.
         
did they try to salvage this in editing or did they have this ridiculous concept in mind from the beginning
         
A crack laden 'Only Fools and Horses'
