Opposites seem to attract and ALL OF YOU were the ones raving about the SL song and I wasn't and now ALL OF YOU seem to dislike the video and I think it is great!!!

Love you Stevie!

Love, Viv

I don't think we can FULLY judge it yet, as the timing is off with the live performance happening as it's being played. It'll probably be better if we ever see it as it's supposed to be shown, like on VH1 or something.

I thought it was pretty good for what we can see of it now. I have no problem with Dave being in it. We all know he had a lot to do with the album, AND getting the dang thing DONE. Had it been Stevie herself doing it, we'de have a much longer wait.

Viv, TOTALLY agreeing!!!!!!

LOL~ing LOUDLY at the same whiners who BADGERED & STALKED Dave about the "Secret Love" video are now the ones TRASHING it! Things NEVER CHANGE in Stevie Fan Land!

"Baby, you don't change
And IT'S ALL THE SAME!!!"

I haven't seen it .. but with all her ranting about putting out anything new until it has been officially, because it will released l show up on youtube in ten seconds.. I would be safe saying the stuff she is showing is images from the video / other videos and not the video itself

RIGHT? It's like spoiled children who are like, "Gimme my present! Gimme my present!" and after opening, they toss it aside and say, "It's not what I wanted!"

I personally like what I've seen. Yes there are quick cuts, but that is NOT a new concept, especially in this day & age. Yes there is a lot of Dave, but let's remember that this is HIS project too. He's a big part of it. He co-wrote 7 of these songs for goodness sake.

Can't wait to see the real thing!

It does look super pretty, although, I have no idea how it's linked to the lyrics in the song.

Not too bothered about there being lots of Dave. There was lots of Sheryl in the Sorcerer video.

I agree. I think it may be footage from the video edited together into a visual for the live show, but not the actual music video edit itself.

There's no doubt in my mind this is the official video. We've known all along it was going to be a low budget affair which mainly implemented footage from the documentary. I really don't know what there's to dislike about the video... it seems very atmospheric, beautiful, and Stevie looks sexier than ever!

Regarding Dave being in there a lot... he's got nowhere near as much screen time as Stevie. Not that he wouldn't deserve it... he cowrote half the songs on the album, played most of the instruments, and produced the entire work. He probably did more actual WORK on the album than Stevie herself did. On top of that, he's been the sole person in the world promoting the album, and he's dropped tidbits to us fans for over a year now. Not to mention it was Dave's idea to make the documentary and music videos. So Dave absolutely deserves a prominent role in Stevie's videos for this album, in my opinion.

I think it's okay as far as music videos go. Aren't they kinda passe? I agree that the shots of Dave playing the guitar against the white background don't really fit the rest of the video, but the rest of it is fine. But I don't get terribly worked up about music videos to begin with.

Exactly. Neither MTV nor VH1 have played music videos for many years. Music videos are nearly as outmoded as cassette tapes. And much like you, a music video just doesn't mean squat to me anymore. I'm glad we have one (I'll take anything new from Stevie!), but I would feel no sadness at all if we didn't get one in the first place. It's all about the music for me...

that's how it feels to me, like a backdrop, I also can't see her releasing her video without singing a lot in it, but who knows

all the reverses in it and stuff feels like he did it to take up time or to just fill in a space

MacMan · #29 03-27-2011, 12:58 PM

I think it's a mashup pulling images and segments from the different scenes they filmed... And I like it!. I like all the weirdness of things you see... makes you think, challenges you to figure out what the meaning is... I think Dave should definitely be in it... He's so well associated with Nicks on this, it would seem weird not to include him somehow...

I think we'll see a more cohesive video for Secret Love when it makes it's debut.

Not sure I'd classify any of this a "low budget" film crews aren't cheap!

I agree that they no longer matter in terms of TV, but they still seem to matter in terms of spreading buzz on the Internet. A good video is going to be tweeted and posted on Facebook and such, drawing hits on YouTube, etc.
