Okay, one thing about the "KISS"

[Cheswick2.0]

who the hell goes at someone with their mouth wide open? I had exactly one man ever kiss me that way and even though he was absolutely gorgeous and very sexually attractive (in a shirtless, doing work out back for the landlord, coming in the kitchen for a glass of water kind of way), that was the end of it for me. YUCK!

1. They probably nailed it in rehearsal

and built up the confidence to go straight into it at the right moment - it was probably a choreographic necessity.

I have to admit that, though the still image was somewhat edifying, the video clip is entirely underwhelming and, yes, it's crass, cheap, commercialism at its worst. Well, maybe not worst, but it ain't good.

2. yes it probably was a coreographic necessity

maybe they should have saved a few beats for creativity.

3. Well, I have to agree with others that

they should have gone much further having flirted with the kiss - I'd have inserted a ten-minute instrumental break. :-)

4. you mean a dream ballet?

Ten minutes for a dream ballet.... at least that way they could have worked up to the tongues instead of the JAWS imitation they put on. :scared:

5. Well, yes, something like that

Yes, it was rather predatory. It's all fun and games until someone loses a bicuspid.....or a lip.

It's the whole MTV-generation thing, though, you know - MTV years ago radically reduced the world's attention span and so these things have to be done quickly or they'll be missed.
