I liked her styling - her look in front of the mic reminded me of the "Already Gone" video. But I don't think the video tonally suited the song. I've always interpreted "Wrapped In Red" as a vulnerable, yet happy song. But I didn't see much of the latter element in the video. And the graininess of the lens/filter seemed more in line with an alt rock/indie pop video than a Kelly Clarkson video.
Oh well, it's not like music videos have a drastic impact on the success of Christmas songs. She'll probably get a promo push at radio regardless.

It's just like one of those extended TV commercials without the voiceover. Don't ever really need to see or speak about it again....

Guys, don't be silly.
This is the only official video we need. (20x better than that amazon video...)

The video isn't that bad, especially for a Christmas single--Or maybe my expectations were just low. That said, We can all start to flip out if the first single for the new album is nothing but floating headshots like this one.

What an incredibly random and cheaply done video. Cheap even by Kelly Clarkson standards since she hasn't had good videos for a long long time. The lyric video for UTT was way better and would have been a better option than this. The video had nothing to do with the lyrics and www frankly a waste of time. I hate to sound ao negative but why did they even bother??? I hope the song does well at radio, though. It's a great one but not as immediately catchy at UTT. I find myself listening to WIR more than UTT now.
I ordered one of the limited vinyls. Mainly because my original has an issue on Every Christmas so hopefully that is fixed on the new one and I couldn't pass up owning 1 out of only 500.

The scenes with the dark backdrop were classy and retro. The scenes in the white clouds were tacky and just a little too obvious that they were only willing to show her from the neck up. Yeah. My first thought was: no body shots in this video.

on a brighter note, Wrapped in Red was reduced to $7.99 as a part of their Holiday Albums special and has moved up to 73 on the album chart

Ya, that was just not very good at all. The filters were absolutely awful and more distracting than anything. Removing them actually would've pushed it up significantly for me

We'd get better videos if the label would just accept giving us Kelly as she is. Everybody who sees her live loves her, unfiltered, without Photoshop, without airbrushing, without Auto-Tune, without anybody managing her image. She's always a hit on TV. Haters gonna hate anyway. Let Kelly be Kelly. I don't know if that's the only problem. Ever since she ranted about the VMAs in that leaked recording about them being boring and music videos being useless or something it has seemed clear that she is the driving force behind her uneventful videos. They're already so expensive I'm sure the label is happy to cut the budget back. She seems to write a lot of the treatments, too, and they just aren't good. A nicely produced version of her performance from the special would have been infinitely better, but whatever. In other news, Kelly is in EW as one of the four big musicians with a Christmas album. It's a little cage-battle table that ranks her third behind Buble and Carey. It isn't a quality ranking, but an impact one. Anyway, good promo (they cite Wrapped In Red as the highlight and Baby It's Cold Outside as the lowlight).

Ummm... and the awards for the worst music video ever goes to..
I don't get why they insist on photoshopping her SO much! What are make up and lightings for, seriously ?
I don't know if we can truly rely on Kelly having full control over her videos! Her treatments are great! Because Of You, hello? Just one example.
I think that Kelly's simply giving in when her label asks her if they could do a low-key video and I just hope that they're saving up for her comeback single... I mean they wouldn't embarrass themselves by releasing a cheap video with a huge male pop star, would they?

I will take glamour Kelly shrouded in light and drowning in soft-focus fog over this: NEVER FORGET If anyone in that dress tried to hug me, I would run away screaming.

I think she looks gorgeous in the shots of her with the mic and the string lights, but...that's about it. I don't think the shots of her looking washed out in the white background could look any cheaper. Almost looked fanmade at moments.

Upon watching the video again, it's a total non-event, but doesn't have aspirations for anything beyond a few glamorous head shots. I don't rank it below videos like Dark Side and I Do Not Hook Up that were aiming for something and fell drastically short. If it has to be played in the background somewhere, it won't be offensive, just...there.

It looks like the video to a Christmas song to me. Which are usually fairly cheap and simple.

She's missing from the hits top 50 again this year. Starting to doubt this will be a moderate seller this year, unless there's some promo push behind it again.

I'm just confused as to where those promo pushes are at. It's Black Friday week and sales start tomorrow. Not sure why they aren't capitalizing on this, but maybe there's a grander plan in place for December.

This is strange as af, but I just saw a commercial of the cast of the new Night at the Museum sitting around a Thanksgiving table sitting down to eat while "Underneath the Tree" was playing in the background. Airing during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
