I don't think it was THAT bad. To me a bad video is one that makes you dislike the song or the artist. IMO it's doesn't rise (sink?) to that level. Overall it's fairly benign I think. Her fans will like seeing her look pretty if nothing else.
For me personally though, I'm just trying to see how they market an It Girl, how they take advantage of this moment to create her brand. I don't see thins moving that forward in any way. But it doesn't really have to.

Good video but I agree that it's kind of jarring and inconsistent, instead of throwing home footage, luxury/glamorous and intimate/sensual shots all together they should have just picked one style for the whole thing

This definitely fits the song. I can see it smashing. She is very eye-candy.

I liked the visuals in that one performance better than this even though they kind of mimic it at one point. I can't see this really pushing the song to explosive new heights, but it will at least get it solidly in the top 10 on pop and Itunes.

I just realized that the radio version of this song completely changes the lyrics of the pre-chorus.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the video? It isn't bad but I don't get the point of it. What were the sets? Why was there no plot? I wish it followed the recordings in the hotel room more and there was a plot similar to There's Nothing Holding Me Back

Not terrible but they would have been better off with the fan video they did late last year, which at least had that "I've made it!!!" narrative.
Also pretty weird that it's not on her VEVO Channel.

The style direction for that video was a complete mess. I honestly would've probably preferred she did down to earth casual looks and they brought in some random hot guy for her to act obsessed with in relatable cute little scenes. At least then there would be some semblance of a narrative. Missed opportunity imo.

I like the video for what it is, but it's just not all that exciting. She looks good. The only parts of the video I didn't like were the home video ones as those just didn't mesh well with the other glamour sections. I did like the parts when she is posing and singing in front of those various formations and things. I kept waiting for those parts that were in the backdrop video from her Fallon performance to appear. It's too bad those weren't included. I liked the part where she's in the glass box in the dark. That outfit was really nice.

The video is a mess and not in a good way. The set was serving early 90s live tv show on Sunday night which was nice but the editing and shots ruined any potential. Not to mention that first.. uhmm... garment she was wearing. Girl looked paralysed. I wish the whole video was taken out of the glass setting, similar to that live performance she did on album release week. That would be a lot more effective.

I thought the music video was really solid. She looked great and I love the variety in shots and styles throughout. It was simple but effective imo.

I want this to smash but I didn't like the video. Sure, she looks nice but I don't feel the need to watch it again. "Havana" was different.
I'm still gonna use the Jimmy Fallon performance cause it was amazing.

Disjointed is the term I'd use as well. The avant-garde red thing she had on didn't work either, especially at the angle they shot her at. They'd have been better at just making a simple straightforward video focusing on her looks than jumping around if they wanted to go this route.
This could make it into the top 10 tomorrow and stay there for the official update unless Macklemore or Kendrick/Weeknd move ahead of her with a huge update while this really falters. If it gets another wind, I can see it possibly edging out a top 5 peak, but the low favorite and positive scores suggest that once it peaks, it'll fall very hard so they should have the next single ready to go soon for when it's needed.

She Loves Control sounds like the right song to move on to once this is done. It has the same vibe as Havana and we know how much pop radio loved that.

Plus She Loves Control is charting in other countries without even being a single.

I feel like by pure virtue of it being in the right place at the right time, callout scores be damned - with a number of songs in the top 10 now on their way out, something has got to get boosted up to fill the spot, and with this about to go top 10 I think it's gonna be one of the songs to get the ride.
Look at it this way; NF got his #1 and is on his way back out. Ed/Dua/Selena are on the way out too, and it looks very much like Max is about to join then. Charlie is gone tomorrow. That's half the top 10, and I could see G-Eazy/Halsey and Bruno/Cardi also being cases of #1 and done. With that many songs coming down, something's gotta get vacuumed up to replace them. I think with that in mind top 5 is possible, maybe even top 3 if the stars align. I don't think this would have the power to overcome Zedd/Maren and Bebe unless #witchcraft lol.

I love this analysis, and the fact that this, Zedd and Bebe could make up the top three is a dream come true. I hope that it means Bebe gets to be #1!
