Are the parts where they jump from planet to planet supposed to look cheap?

Yeah I think the whole thing is supposed to look like a video game from the 80's.

That's what i thought, hence the crappy digitized lazer lights when she falls.......... people seem to be missing the concept of the video though.

I actually REALLY love this the more i see it. For the first time in 5 years, Janet Jackson has impressed me.

I have to see it in HQ, but it's certainly her best video in a long, long time.

I think that looks AWESOME.

It's a great video. Very interesting. I think it's part 80's video games, part those villains in Superman who were just as strong as he... I can't remember what they're called. But yeah.

VERY good video, it's her best since All For You.

i'd say it's decent. even the robotic choreography along with the dancers looks a bit more innovative than her recent efforts.

It debuted in the 80's on the charts this week apparently, not sure if that's good or not................considering her last 2 albums flopped, it may take a while for the song to catch on.

The #84 Hot 100 debut last week was bolstered by it's #116 debut on the Hot Digital Songs chart. It was at about 10 million aud imp from radio and thus hasn't appeared on the Hot 100 Airplay chart yet.

"Feedback" jumps 84 - 52 on the Hot 100.

Its downloads increased by a decent amount but it jumping THAT high on the download chart was because of the big drop-offs this week from last week that older tiltes experienced.

The song's radio airplay is going to peak in the "Gimme More" / "Hung Up" range apparently, if that. If it matches those songs its weekly audience impressions will peak in the mid 20 million range and peak in the 40's on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.

"Call On Me" peaked with around 50 million aud imp in a week and peaked at #19 on airplay. BUT, little of that came from Pop or Top 40 stations, the formats which drive downloads, so it missed the Top 20 on the Hot 100 because of low downloads despite so many overall listeners.

"Feedback" will do better on downloads because of where the airplay will come from this time and have a better Hot 100 peak, most likely.

But, this means that the album might pull a Blackout.

Here is a very VERY elaborate explanation of the video:


OK, here listen. It might seem “slow to you” because Saam doesn’t do complicated camera moves. You notice that the camera BARELY moves in this video. That’s because - as I said before - moving cameras make moving backgrounds. The fewer things that are moving on the screen, the easier it is to compress the image, because there are fewer pixels to “change” so you don’t have as blurry of a shot. Notice how often there are just quick cuts to a new angle and little if any rolling or tracking cameras. He’s a genius at new medium, and that’s why it will look really good in compressed form (youtube, dailymotion, yahoo...)

Second, the story. It’s not that hard. It’s Mario Galaxy meets Barbarella meets clash of Titans. Each of the Daft Punk androids rules one of the plants. Notice there are 9 people in the video. Counting Pluto, which I still do, how many planets are in our solar system? They are all climbing over their planets stalking each other. It’s a metaphor. Live with it.

Dancing = Battle.

They are fighting and Janet jumps down off of her planet into a place with a very viscous white fluid. Sure you can take the easy road to what it’s supposed to be, or just be more metaphorical and look at it as the soup in which the universe is formed. The breakdown is the final battle. They all fall in behind her, it’s about to go down.

Everyone’s planets start falling and crashing into the soup of life. Janet smashes (dances) until she breaks the last planet with her hand and all of the Daft Punk androids get sucked back into the soup of life. A new Janet is shot out of the soup - free of her constraints, free of her battle gear and begins to organize the spheres of light to her making - lining up the planets the way she wants them. When she gets them just right she thrusts the last one forward, releasing them in to the universe. Thousands of spheres that shoot out of the soup of life back into space.

She sees evil around her, decides to leave her planet behind to go and fight this evil and when she wins, she gets to create the Universe she wants to live in.

----

I don't really buy it but it's fun someone put in the time to write all this haha.
