I heard on the radio that Kanye (Rhymes a word with the same word west) West claims that Beyonce's video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," is the best video of all time; especially when compared to Taylor Swift's video.
I watched the two videos and I'd have to say he's wrong.
It's not even the best video-where-someone-sings-and-dances-during-the-whole-video-in-one-room-video of all time.
(the song sucks too) In fact, this was exactly the type of video that made me disenchanted with music videos when I was 10.
Before MTV, all you had was the pictures in your head. Some people were totally blown over by music videos because these short films (with stories) dictated - to the day dreamers - what to think, and promoted - for the mindless - to think about stuff when you heard the song.
At the very least, Taylor Swifts video was better because it made a song, which I dislike, bearable while I watched the story in the video.
Beyonce's video might as well be a stage performance. (one of the worst kinds of music videos.)
