Very professional job. Not really my thing but you have made a great job of this.

Like it alot - very nice job indeed. Also not 'my kind of thing' music wise, but the video kept me watching.

I reckon you must have enjoyed making that video.
I mean what else could you do with such a piece of abject crap as that song other than take the piss out of it by turning it into a sci fi blockbuster!
Theory eh? How pretentious can you get?
But will you come back to read this, or are you just spamming your work?

So it's not just tribute bands that tick you off then? Calling a piece of work 'abject crap' serves no purpose at all. Shame you couldn't find time to comment on the video itself eh?
Dont be surprised if next time you post a video up, someone ignores all the hard work you've put in on your video and calls your song a bag of s**t.
I wonder who the pretentious one actually is here?

Oh Andy you're too sensitive & have no sense of humour or mischief!
We haven't called & wouldnt call the work of anyone who posts here crap!
I thought what I said was quite favourable regarding JesterJJZs video,
I just felt sorry for him having to work with such an awful song, as I would imagine many pros have to do (it's a business not an art).
For us it's an art not a business.
I felt the video was sending up the song & I was commending him on it
You didnt like the song either!

No I didn't like the song either. But I did like the video - which is what this forum is about - And as over sensitive as you think I may be, you were well out of order. For all you know - the singer / artist may well be the videographer too. As you are.

I rest my case.

Back to the OP.
The music is, in my opinion, mediocre. Generic smoochy-schmalz, could be from any one of a dozen Craig David clones.
The camerawork is very good, as is the lighting. The effects are the result of expensive software. However...
The combination is very tacky and gooey. I found a lack of imagination in the concept and execution. The visuals are technically super but it's boring. The result is actually less than the sum of its parts. It's visual candy-floss. Sweet and pretty but with no nutritional or aesthetic value!
Since this is a just a video posted to get views on Youtube, it doesn't matter what I write, the OP won't be interested in our opinions anyway!
(But Girls, I do think that calling a new poster's music "crap" is a wee bit too strong.)

I'm glad somebody else sees this my way!
I cant help being outrageous, but I'm sorry if I was naughty.
I'd also like to apologise to Sarah (who's not at all outrageous) for often posting replies under her name, so she takes the flak, as i did with the Ohasis video  .
