Hold Me-- Amusing? Yes.

goldustsongbird · #1 10-30-2005, 02:37 PM

I've been watching the video for Hold Me on a loop for the past fifteen minutes or so. Now, I love the song, and the video is quite possibly one of the hottest things I have ever seen (hello, Chris!

), but there is one scene that never fails to make me laugh: At about... 3:50 (just after the random shot of the horse painting, and Christine looking into the telescope at Lindsey) when the chorus starts up again, and she sort of... pops up into those shards of glass? I don't know why, but I crack up. Every single time.
All throughout the video, she just seems to be begging for someone to er, "hold her", and that seemed like her final plea, or something. "HOLD ME!"
*boing* "HOLD MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Is it just the immense amount of medicine talking, or is this funny?

It cracks me up, too! I think this is the first time I've seen someone else acknowledge it. Whenever I watch that video, I'm like Aw, she's soooooooo beautiful and then aw, she's so desperate.

I don't think anyone in that video wants to be held as much as Chris. (Wish I'd been there because I could've helped

).

And, are you just like me in that when I see Chris in that video, I'm like "Stevie who?" Usually I think they're both hot but Chris really, really stands out there.

LOL! Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one. She's gorgeous, but I have to laugh, especially at the part where she sort of runs her hand through her hair, and gives this sort of... look. Like, "PLEASE!?? I'm gonna cry!" (see attachment)

Stevie looks pretty good too, all stressed and "Oh em gee, I'm so BORED! *hair fluff* This painting sucks, allow me to fix it", but Chris looks especially stunning. The hair, the makeup... Everything.

I love your descriptions.

And I love the hand-through-her-hair part! I have a still of that, too.

I wish there was some way I could cap the entire video. Damn Windows Media Player!

I've always thought that Christine's very dramatic gestures & expressions in this video were pretty funny too. But, she looks beautiful!! I've never even noticed Stevie. Lindsey looks awfully good though.

By the way goldustsongbird, how did you get that picture of Chris from the video? Did you use Windows Media Player?

Yay, a "Hold Me" video thread! It's what officially brought me into my FM fandom all those years ago. I'd sit at my friend's house in front of MTV for hours waiting for them to play the video---we didn't have cable, poor me!

I loved the song, I thought Chris was beautiful, Lindsey was gorgeous, and I wondered who the hell that good-looking chick was lolling around in the lounge chair.

Only later did I figure out that she was the one who sang one of my favs when I was only 6 years old---Rhiannon.

I remember when you told me this story!

If I had seen that video as a child, it would've made me an instant fan, too.

Reminds me of a conversation between a friend and I:

Me: Lindsey looks pretty hot, too.
Her: Yeah, lounging on the chair and stuff.
Me: ... That's Stevie.
Her: Stevie's a girl? Who's Lindsey then?
Me: O_o THE GUY!
Her: Oh. Which one's Chris, the one dusting off the piano at the beginning?
Me: Get out of my house.

Okay, I made the last line up.

That whole video cracks me up. The horse with spots. Mick and John nearly killing themselves to get to the guitars. Wanton sex kitten Stevie. On the misson Lindsey. Trapped Christine with those expressions and gestures.
