hazelkIt’s been so long. As ever there was much goodness these are just some I have something to say about.
The Addictive
Bad Romance by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sisabet – obsessive24’s Merlin vid Red does a thing where by drawing attention to the lyric a tragedy waiting to happen she infuses a thoroughly campy and largely cracktastic show with all the weight of Arthurian legend (which is pretty cracktastic in its own right). This does for DC comics what Red did for Mallory. Smallville’s Clark Kent becomes the once and future Superman at the mercy of Lex’s inner Gaga. Also monkey! And random cows.
Tightrope bysweetestdrain – I really want to love Janelle Monae but she has an ethereality that can be difficult to connect with. Putting her together with Adam Lambet like this is inspired. He gives her sex, she gives him class. Altogether it’s a marriage made in heaven (I’m in heaven).
The Infectious
Music Again byanoel - the show everyone loves to hate but I still love it and so does this vid.
Dance Across the Floor bylittleheaven – so many dance vids rely on quick cuts to mash all the clips together and this just lets everyone do their thing and it’s amazing (although some are more amazing than others).
Mickey byredina – pure sparkly, slashy, gender-bending fun.
Take Me Home bysuch_heights - the vid to make anyone who’s ever thought they were gay “not so you’d notice,” sit up and take notice.
Hold on Tight bygwyn_r - Manifique. Seriously with the francais it reaches a whole other level of awesome.
The Reflective
Wading Deep Water bybarkley - still runs deep. I love this woman. I’ve never met her but I know her. The mother, the daughter, the lover and the worker of her.
Straight to Hell bymlyn - in Westerns the landscape is a character. I read that somewhere but in this vid I really can see it. I can feel it. Harsh and inhospitable - while men break themselves, the outback endures. It was there when they came, it will still be there when they’re gone. There’s a great stillness to the vid, it feels like a painting but too raw to be painterly.
Light of Day bythuviaptarth – the light at the end of the tunnel is a bomb. Biased, as I helped beta, but still beautiful, still heavy with meaning. The show I know but didn’t know I knew.
