Without gettig into the specifics of whether you liked the video or not. I think it is undeniable that this raises the bar for Jewish music videos in general.
Tx, Pretz for posting. I'm not sure how one raises the bar on Jewish music videos... Is there such a genre? In any case, I enjoyed it-ish until ppl pointed out, as Leibel did above, that this was heavily modeled after Michael Buble's video.
Sadly, this is one more instance of tagging after general pop culture in place of charting new and popular paths in Jewish culture. Grr.
My technical critique: The videography ios crisp, well-colorized, well-shot, well-angled. The constant color to b/w is unnecessary and distracting. Cute. Fun. Messageless. Meaningless.
I, too, would like to try Ya'alili, but I just haven't met it yet.
ReplyDeleteAnd does DeScribe count as a Jewish music video?

Which is not to say it is a bad video.
