Video review: Thompson Square's Glass

Now that I've gushed about the song, I want to talk about the video since it just came out a couple of days ago. It was directed by Roman White and can be found on CMT.com or here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPd1GIwjRFM




Oh, black and white, how I love you and the fact that you were used here. I'm a sucker for black and white because it can add such an intimacy and classic feeling to a video and I think it was the perfect choice here. I love the set in this, all the glass around them and the fact that glass was breaking around them. Though that said, I have to give them both props here because honestly if it were me, having glass thrown down right by me would freak me out. If either of them was, it definitely doesn't come across.

This is such a beautiful video, I think they both look great in it. Shawna's white dress is pretty gorgeous. The parts when they're together are beautiful, you can almost feel the chemistry between them in this and it just makes it feel very real. Which is very important for me when it comes to videos. I also like how this video and the song itself show a side of them that hasn't really been shown before. I love when that happens. I really don't know what else to add here. Just that I think that it's a beautiful video for a beautiful song. Wonderfully directed by Roman White, who is a favorite of mine.

Thanks for reading!

Song review: Water Tower Town by Scotty McCreery

I have an odd relationship, or whatever you want to call it, with American Idol. I was interested when I heard about it and watched the first three seasons, got annoyed with the third season and didn't watch the next only to start watching again during the fifth season. I loved the show during its sixth and seventh season, but started getting annoyed with it in the eighth. Sometime between then and now I've gone from being annoyed with it to now hating it as I see it for what it really is. I could go into more detail about that, but I won't. At least not here; maybe at another time. I'm sure many of you are wondering why I'm bothering to bring it up in the first place. Well, it's because I decided to do a review of "Water Tower Town" by the current American Idol for my next song review. Now, if you're a fan of American Idol, you might not like what I'm going to say next, but I ask that you stay with me because it'll end up being importa

Album review: Christmas with Scotty McCreery by Scotty McCreery

First things first, I'm wishing everyone who celebrates a happy Hanukkah! Perhaps that's a strange way to kick off a review of a Christmas album, but it wouldn't have felt right not to include it. And really, when you really think and learn about what each holiday is about you see that in a way the first Hanukkah is one of the things that made Christmas possible. So once again, happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate. Those of you who have read my album reviews know this, but the way I do album reviews is to give my overall opinion and then look at each song individually after the cut. Which means that album review posts can get pretty long. Just a warning. This album came out back in October, but I never listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. Hence why there hasn't been a review until now. So what do I think? I think that releasing Christmas albums can be a little risky. The majority of these songs are so well known and loved already. They've been recorded

Video Spotlight: Sam Tsui

I first found out about Sam Tsui from a collaboration that he did with one of my favorite male singers, Peter Hollens. As it turned out, some of my friends are also fans of Sam's and there was a point where I kept seeing people post some of his videos. So finally I decided to go check out his YouTube channel. Turns out, he has all kinds of great covers on there and even some originals. I liked him and knew it was only a mattered of time before I wrote about him.  The only trouble was picking which video to write about first. There were a bunch of strong contenders and it's safe to assume that all of those will get a spotlight at some point down the road. But it was hard to pick. The obvious solution was just to do a video spotlight on Sam himself. We'll be talking about five of his videos. Starting with the first one I saw.
