Zaphod Chizzlebrox Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Can I close this thread? I spent an hour getting it tied up to 50/50 and its back down to 46% Muse again. I should never have posted this here! I really just think Brandon Flowers is a big douche and his music is mediocre. My opinion. Resistance is a better song and I like the fact that they really show how a concert of theirs is. I didn't like the BF song so what would make me want to watch the video? It's not about whether you think the song is better, it's about whether you think the video is better. And in this case the Brandon Flowers video is better than the Muse video. Put the video on mute then you don't have to offend your ears for just those few minutes it would take. And what makes you think it's because you posted that thread here that the Flowers video is leading? Perhaps there's millions of music fans who prefer the Crossfire video? Doing a concert video is a lazy way to do a commercial release video, and most of the world knows this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I love Muse but I also love Brandon Flowers and the video for Crossfire is amazing. If it was purely for the song I wouldn't know who to vote for but Charlize Theron kicking some ninja ass > long live show commercial. Edit: And spending an hour rigging votes for a video of the year award is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Brandon Flowers song is wank, the video is average. Muse's song is good, but the video is also average. Therefore Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 All of it is all rubbish by both. But Brandon Flowers is a git. So vote Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie g Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Voted for Muse.The video isnt that bad. The brandonflowers song is so rubbish why would vote for it?? True Fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static shadows Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Not a big fan of Resistance as a song or a video. But Brandon Flower's song is genuinely rubbish (I have therefore never seen the video and have no desire to). So i'm not voting either way. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiss Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 brandon flower's solo stuff is awful. Â So true. His solo album is Crossfire is the only "good song" . The video is funny tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uccellino Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Resistance is a better song IMO but you can't deny the appeal of Brandon Flowers, he's easy on the eye and his song's OK. Hence the votes in his favour I reckon. I'd still vote Muse though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 You think Brandon Flowers is winning because he's good looking? Of course! There's no chance that he's winning because people actually enjoy his video a lot more than Muse's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I bet that's the reason I like his music too, silly little shallow me. I think the meerkat should go and have a plastic surgery or something then, no wonder they're not big and Flowers is.

Uccellino Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 You think Brandon Flowers is winning because he's good looking? You seriously think his good looks don't help? Of course! There's no chance that he's winning because people actually enjoy his video a lot more than Muse's.... Could be, it's a good video but I still say the fact that he is eye-candy helps. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I do think his good looking-ness helps, it's part of what makes his video good. If he wasn't in it at all it might not get so many votes!

dead-duck Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I can't vote in this one... neither video really makes sense for the songs IMO. If this was for the vampire teddies, or even the spastic girl doing the icky dance and a random gratuitous bum shot of Dom, Muse would have my vote, but the Resistance video is so disappointing. It had so much promise, the song tells a story and the video should have been based around that... but instead they do a random live performance vid? For a song that isn't really a live highlight? (not that I have a problem with it, but I don't think it's a "song you must see live before you die" type song) Uprising would have made more sense as a live footage video because it's more of a crowd participation thing with the jumping and the oi's and whatnot. Crossfire is similar in that the vid doesn't fit entirely with the song, but the song doesn't tell as much of a story plus Crossfire has Brandon in it (quite nice to look at from my perspective) and Charlize (not too hard on the eyes either ) and ninjas... so I think that one has the edge. I don't see why anyone would be surprised that a video with two reallyreallyridiculouslygoodlooking people (</zoolander>) and ninjas would beat out a random performance vid when you consider that votes will be cast by people who are not fans of either Muse or Brandon.
