The video looks like a Calvin Klein commercial from 1998. I think that's what they were going for.

They somehow managed to make her look not gorgeous when I normally always find her to be so. Pretty boring and not even that well-done. Not that it will matter since this seems to be soaring anyway.

All they needed was Sir Paul to be in Denim, and it would've been OVA.

I'm not very into this music video... But I do love the songs and I'm so happy she's performing at the GRAMMYs

Well, the music video was uneventful and boring.

She looks like a pretty crackhead in the video. This whole release, from the song, video, styling, etc screams Kanye. I hope she didn't do anymore songs with him on the album.

If you expected anything more extravagant or flashy from the video, then you didn't listen to the song.
Every aspect of FourFiveSeconds is stripped down to the foundation.
I love it.
Judging by the likes/dislikes, other people seem to love it too.

I like the video but this is probably the worse she has ever looked in a music video. Plus, showing us Kanye's sweat was totally unnecessary.

If I want to see a Calvin Klein video remake, I watch Janet's Love Will Never Do Without You.
That video is not good enough to make any difference on charts after the inevitable first week boost.

This single can still go either way at this point. I have to say she's had good timing so far with the video release and the Grammy's this week. She's spreading out the promo strategically enough where this will hopefully not lose anymore momentum for at least a few more weeks and then by then airplay will be the make/break deal for this song. I noticed both "We Found Love" and "Diamond" also never started off strong in sales but then airplay that built over the weeks shot the songs to #1 on Itunes and the Hot 100.

I like the video. It's simple and it fits the song well imo :)

The song is uninspired and the video is uninspired. We all are entitled to what we feel or like, but it is disappointing that such "lazy" (what it feels like to me) work is being embraced. I feel she is trolling us with this crap. Music is in such a sad state right now.

This has been posting dark green updates for the last 24 hours (since the preview).
I think if this stabilizes, and they do open the Grammys with a well received performance...I wouldn't rule out it hitting #1 that weekend on iTunes. Is Bruno Mars or Ed Sherran performing too?

So.... this will go number one from the momentum of the Grammys performance, Pull another Stay RihRih!!!! Sorry, but i don't think so. None of them is a great singer to give a great vocal performance (not that the song itself permits a mindblowing vocal performance either), and the song doesn't allow a flashy performance either, so i doubt the push the grammy performance gives to the song permits this going 1 on the hot 100. And even less when there are hotter songs performed at the grammys If she wants another number one this should do it old style, climbing step by step like Diamonds did

Really liking the song now! The video's alright, Kanye was really awkward in that video, his actions didn't fit the mood of the song at ALL. Made me laugh tbh!
