Katy Perry etc...

Last time we had class we were analyzing the music videos of Katy Perry and Jay-Z. Katy´s video was fairly self-explanatory and it was easy to reach the same conclusions as everyone else, it is obvious what sells in our world. It is quite sad that (I assume) many teenagers draw their influence from these products and end up wondering how they could look the same...

It was interesting to see how people saw the Jay-Z video in a different light, it feels that people see things they want to see i.e everyone had their own interpretations of the environment where it took place etc. This discussion will be continued today at class. One thing that reminded me of this video was a link at some news site - a link to entertainment section - it stated (in my words) that check out Rihanna´s bold new appearance. I didn´t follow the link but it had something to do with a photoshoot she had done and where she appeared at least with little garment, if any, on. What caught my attention was the word usage, the more brave she is the less clothes she has to have on, never mind that she actually has talent...
