Unpopular opinion re: Make Me

[j1834]

Since this is a topic again today.  Objectively, the original Make Me video made no sense.    Almost the whole video has leaked and it has nothing to do with the song or lyrics at all, whatsoever. 

Yes, the production value is better.  She looks better.  But the video otherwise lacked any story or direction.

 

The official video they released matches the song better: male dancers auditioning for Britney, hoping to make her "oooooh."   It was rushed, and low budget, and the already-obligated product placement didn't fit well.  But the theme matched the song and had a story.

I thinklot of people agree that video 1 makes no sense but at the same time it was also a change of scenery. It was daring and confident

i dont think the theme of the video was bad but I mean how does a professional make something that terrible when a college student could do something better than that for half the price. That belonged to Hannah Montana first season

A lot of people say that the video doesn't make sense, but it's because the two clips that leaked are not from the same video.

The first scene was a teaser, that's why it ends with the director saying cut.  This one has nothing to do with the second video.

The second one is the actual video, but rough, that's why it has the ads pasted on the TVs with blur. This one is the one that should leak in full if we wanna judge the concept.

How is that unpopular in any way? I think that’s a unanimous opinion here 

Really!? I feel like everyone is always praising the original Make Me video.  It's developed a cult-like following and inflated status because it was scrapped and therefore it's mysterious.

 

Like her unreleased song, Rebellion.  A long snippet was on her website back in the day, and it sounded awful.    Yet this site acts like it was a Toxic-like song that we'll never hear.

agreed. 

[Sadira]

there is still enough missing from the video so no one is able to fully judge it.

 

though i dont mind music videos without a story. a lot of beautiful music videos dont have a good plot or one at all.

 

and  its not like the song itself has that huge and deep meaning you can build a storyline on. its about having *** and *******

[BoyToySoldier]

Almost the whole video didn’t leak, it wasn’t the final cut, we’re missing outfits that were leaked on set, we’re missing the entire narrative.

You don’t have to like it, but it’s a LaChappelle video and he always has a vision. It doesn’t have to match the song word for word.

[Streets]

We only saw a few filmed scenes placed together for an unfinished video. The storyline is unclear from the leak because it isn't finished

When will B Team gonna give to the gays all they want?  Like the old times.

I will never get over it, sorry. Don't try to drag me 

[Godney'sSweetCheeks]

It didn't need to make sense, it just needed to be cool and edgy and exciting. EVERYTHING the official Make Me video failed on.

Agreed. I don't hate the MM video... She looks very beautiful, but after seeing what leaked of the original.. It's cheesy and looks low budget. 

[diegofs]

how can you say that?

and the original video didnt leak almost full

it leaked about  2 minutes and it has about 5min  

[pablitonizer]

Even her instagram google flowers are better than official Make Me

THIS. So many people complaining that the original didn't make any sense.... BUT how can you say so if no one has actually seen the full thing?

Imo, despite having a partial video/concept it remains superior to that other THING that was given to us fans. What a slap in the face that was to us loyal stans. The original ***** all over the mickey mouse hand clapping hyena seizures nightmare that was forced upon us.

 

[One Of a Kind]

The original video was awful as is the official video. Neither make any sense and neither give any kind of credibility to the song. Slumber Party was an amazing video, it's a shame Make Me... didn't get the same treatment and can't hold a candle to all the other amazing lead single videos we have had.

Since when was it cool to hate on this classic masterpiece? Whoever hates on this and praises the official is delusional.  

 No shame in the game hunny. Keep on praising what could have been. It's the spark that won't go out and may the hate for what was given to us forever flow through our veins. 

Tragic team B and lying Larry better have been listening.

Although tbh I don't think the official video is THAT BAD, but I agree with most that the original video we didn't get looked better. But yeah, OP you're right in the sense that the official video has a storyline similar to the song's message.

[Brat]

I agree the OG video didn't match the song.

But it would've been nice to see Britney in the red jumpsuit cage for something else

[Million Billion]

Everytime didn't fully match the song and the MV either and the result was great. It could have even been greater hadn't her team didn't scrap David's original idea but anyway. Who cares? At this point it's pointless, It's in the past and we need to focus on B10 instead I don't care about anything related to the messy unexistent Glory era
