What do you like better, a performace video treating all members equally, or a video by such artists as Smash Mouth, Matchbox Twenty, and Evanescence where the singer is the focus?

I'd say where all the members are treated equally like Audioslave's Like A Stone. That video is one of the simplest, yet one of the best performance videos I've seen.

I'm not sure, the ones where it focuses mainly on the singers tend to have better storylines.

Even in performance videos, it just seems to make more sense to have focus on one person. It gives the band more identity. |

It doesn't really matter much to me. As long as it's a good, artistic video.

Cornell does a horrible job of lipsynching...I'd've liked it otherwise. I'm not talking getting words wrong, just insufficiency of mouth movement for him to give the illusion of actually singing the song. He did better in "Cochise"...but don't get me wrong--75% of videos have too much half-assed lipsynching. One "attaboy" that comes to mind that I saw recently was Fefe Dobson...she did a superlative job. |
