amanda lear has a unique singing voice. girl got style and is the queen of feathered hair. love the 'alphabet' video and song - so randomly bizarre. and she pops a glowing smile after each letter! 'fashion pack' features some dancers with a crazy look that i love. the fashion transition from 70s to 80s is so strangely amazing. and 'queen of chinatown' is of course over the top in amanda lear style. im dying over the costumes again, especially the headpieces.

IT'S SO COLD IN THE D

pumpthatjam reader henrikai shared this vid with me. and i think 'it's so cold in the d' by tbaby is literally the worst song i've ever heard in my life. which means the video is of course horribly amazing! first off, lemme give tbaby props for creating a new look - it's called 'orange.' very fresh. the chorus of this song is so off key it makes me cringe but also smile. and why does tbaby seem so uninterested the entire time? she's singing about her boy mason who got shot down and has zero emotion. i like when they pour some of their drank in the cemetery to pay repect. classy. around the middle of the video tbaby's sweet vocals get completely off rhythm. i also like the photo collage towards the end of the video - i can't even tell what half of them are pictures of. rock on tbaby.

savage is one of my fave italodisco acts so i can't believe that i never watched his music videos until now! somehow listening to the music before i saw what he looked like made it seem less like a joke. trying to lipsynch with a serious expression just does not suit the dude's face. 'don't cry tonight' is mostly super close-up shots of savage and his crazy hat that he always wears. the video for 'only you' gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on. it starts off with him knocking a glass off a table and then lifting some woman's bleeding hand from the glass. weird. then he goes and pushes his girlfriend off the bed and she smiles. weirder. then his barefoot girlfriend stands on his shoes and he pulls one tie on her dress and it falls off, then he switches out a light. okkkk. then you realize that his gf is marrying the other dude by pressing 'Y' on a computer to answer yes to his proposal! marriage by computer?! then savage appears with a gun and shoots the computer! no, he does not 'want marry'!! the last vid is a bonus live version of 'don't cry tonight' that involves savage slowly raising his head and pointing his fingers and making fists to the beats of the song. once again very dramatic. the ears, the curly hair, the hat altogether are hilar. btw, every other live performance vid of this song has him doing the exact same routine.
