Music Video Showdown ~ Part 1

[fringed n fab]

During SA Tour at first, I hated whatever it was she was doing with her hair with that crimped look but years later I see the big diva-ness of it all and I like it now. Love the witchy look too she went for in the video but if I ever had an over 40 crush, it would not be Rick Vito.

I still remember being 12 years old in '94 and watching Entertainment Tonight and seeing "modern" Stevie for the first time. I was horrified. She was so BIG... and that hair made her look like a complete madwoman. I was just heartbroken by what the Gold Dust Woman had deteriorated to. But much like you, I look back now at the hair and think one word: Diva.

Gotta go with Sometimes It's A Bitch. That music vid was such a dumb-looking mess.

Going OT, my fave would have to be If Anyone Falls

[Christopher]

This video was a Whole Lotta Trouble. She looks like a Stevie Nicks impostor in this video Not to mention that the whole shoot lacks any creativity and poor editing. And more importantly there is NO energy whatsoever to make up for either (at least in BD Stevie emitted energy and that vid had decent editing). To me this is a sad sad video, I never watch it, or for that matter any OSOTM boots. Stevie is just not there! I think this is the tour she famously said that she doesn't even remember huge chunks of it. And to cap it off WLT is probably my least favorite single of Stevie's ever... even over SIAB & TKOL.

WLT was a lame and cheap attempt for a video esp. of Stevie's stature at the time & it was only the 2nd vid off OSOTM. It's as if they blew their wad on ROF and had nothing in the budget left for a decent 2nd video. I don't even remember this getting any play on MTV or VH1 at the time. And it's probably a good thing cause it would have destroyed Stevie's career even more and left an indelible impression.

The video for "Whole Lotta Trouble" is horrible. One of her most unflattering looks, terrible performance overall... what is up with the lyrics? Did she sing it like this every night?! This is Stevie Nicks. She can afford to do reshoots.

She botches both verses in the video performance (measuring in over-enunciated seconds instead of minutes...), and CRIMINALLY omits the "when I want something... I get it" at the end of the second verse which is the best bit in the entire studio take of song.

Anyway, the video isn't representative of what was on the radio, single or LP and if my only exposure to the song were the video I would have been considerably less than impressed.

I'm gonna vote for Sometimes it's a Bitch. Crappy song, and the only good thing about the video is the occasional Christine shot.

Also, Blue Denim is my favorite video, and one of my favorite songs

[AliceLover]

Voting: Sometimes its a Bitch to save WLT.

Personally, I think Sorcerer and Every day are crappy videos. Not because of the production or storylines, but because of Stevie. She is so boring in both of them.

[GypsySorcerer]

Going with Whole Lotta Trouble. I do like the song, but the video itself is nothing special.

My vote is for Whole Lotta Trouble.
Although I hate the video for Blue Denim & Stop Draggin My Heart Around almost as much, but I love the songs so that helped me vote for Whole Lotta Trouble instead. I always thought she could do more with her videos, make them so much more interesting. My favorites are Rooms On Fire, Every Day & If Anyone Falls by a landslide.

[mezzoforte]

I've gotta go with "Whole Lotta Trouble."

I actually like all of Stevie's vids--or at least parts of them (the same could not be said of FM). But as much as I enjoy the goofy dancing and the top hat, I think it's mostly kind of a boring vid.
And I really like "Sometimes it's a Bitch"! With the pics of her growing up and clips of her career, I see it as really paying tribute to her as an icon.
