Like I said each to their own, I didn't know about that dance routine done as one take, that is cool. Very impressive and they obviously put in a lot of hard work to do it. I'm obviously going to be biased because I want a little more than just dancing in my videos, and the fact that I'm a Taylor Swift fan.

I feel you man. I don't necessarily watch videos looking for any specific thing though, except to be entertained by it, no matter what the artist is trying to convey through it.

What Pink is doing right now is highly impressive.

Re: MTV VMAs

Taylor seems like such a sweetheart. How sad if this was real.

At the same time

at how Kanye was so casual about the whole bit

I swear I thought Em was about to bust a freestyle on her when she asked him to hold the award. I was hoping too.

Or:

D. None of the above.

Lol, it has nothing to do her being half naked dancing around. If she were fully covered (almost anything short of a burka I imagine) I would have felt the same way. It was the dance routine itself, as well as it was shot as a continuous take. Not only that, I liked the homage to the Gwen Verdon video.

It wasn't shot in one continuous take, though. There is most definitely some editing in there.

I didn't say it was shot in one take, I said as one continuous take. No quick shots to this or that, as one continuous take. I've never seen a video done that way and I thought it was great. Besides that, I've seen her do it in performances and those weren't edited, so it doesn't take away anything for me.

A lot of that can be attributed to the song — which, if you ask us, is pretty great — and Beyoncé's moves, we'd be remiss if we didn't give some props to Nava's team too. From the purposely long takes and the deft edits to the now-classic choreography and the hyper-glam styling, "Single Ladies" is very much a technical accomplishment that looks deceptively simple to the casual observer

"Although I wanted the video to feel like it was one continuous take, on the shoot day we decided to split the song into three parts. I deliberately let the shots be long so viewers would connect with the human endeavor of Beyoncé's awe-inspiring dance, which was inspired by an old-school Bob Fosse routine," Nava wrote. "The styling was inspired by a Vogue photo shoot. All the changes in look and lighting were executed 'in camera,' because I wanted to keep the feel very organic and ungimmicky."

Sometimes, less really is more. And "Single Ladies" is proof.

Good for Beyonce stepping up and being classy about the whole thing.

Re: MTV VMAs

I think Kanye is just mad becuase

A. He is like 5'5"
B. Swift's album sold more the first week, and almost a year later his is no longer on the Billboard 200 while hers is #9.

This was the only way to get his name back in the news after his album has now flopped.
