Okay, so...
I just watched Selena Gomez & The Scene's music video for her song Round and Round... and I have a couple of things I would like to address.
1. This music video is ridiculous.
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfcvO2t8Ntg
2. Selena Gomez & The Scene??? Is she just arbitrarily making that "& The Scene" part up, or is she tag-teaming with some other band?
3. First ten seconds of the video:
-Selena walks up to a random wall.
-Selena puts on sunglasses and poses for no apparent reason.
-Selena walks away.
4. She then lights a match. To do what? To smoke? You're like sixteen.
5. Selena spends the majority of this video running away from creepy old men in fedoras. What will happen if they catch her? No one knows, because this video doesn't make any sense.
6. A sneak peek at the lyrics:
"You see me standing there and act like you don't know me. But last night you were calling me saying you want me."
Once again... you are like sixteen.
7. She then dances in the corner of a room between two light fixtures.
8. After this and some other random things, we watch her almost get hit by a speeding train. It turns out she's fine though, because we next catch up with Selena while she's creeping on someone through a telescope.
9. 1:45- Selena jogs by in her stilettos, while Man in Fedora #1 sprints after her like a crazy person. Good thing she finds a random wall to stand next to so he doesn't see her.
10. Some of my favorite lyrics:
"Love me or love me not,
I'm staring at the clock.
I pick them flower petals off,
and then I watch them drop."
First of all: "them" flower petals??? Enough said.
Second of all: What does this have to do with the music video?
11. 2:17- Selena is BFFs with the waiter at this restaurant, who leaves her a cryptic message in her mug saying "The Coffee is Dirty". She then gives the guy across the table from her a ridiculous amount of sass & walks away.
12. More dancing in the corner between the light fixtures.
13. 3:10- Man in Fedora is hanging from the railing of a staircase a la Mufasa in The Lion King. How did he get there? Nobody knows. We then watch him fall and die and the music video ends with Selena blowing out the match she lit in the beginning.
All of this to say:
Selena Gomez & The Scene know what's up.
