Probably my favourite video of all time. Absolutely spellbinding, brilliantly dark and sexy and suggestive.
The song is brilliant as well. I'm glad this did well on the pop charts, shame nothing else of hers did.

I LOVE it! As well as it did, it was STILL underrated.

Great vocals, and yeah, the video was good too...I'm surprised her success didn't continue.

Marginal. C+. Wasn't she the one who won an award and said in her speech, "I have no purpose in life?" ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) "And I'm feeling like a criminal..."

Well, I was with this song. I have adored the video for many years, but it's too bad she needed a video like that to produce a hit record. I know she regrets having done that.

I remember Rick Dees saying that the prior "Criminal" song to chart before this one was "Smooth Criminal" by MJ. :)

Why doesn't she like the video? It's not like it's a tacky, poppy video. It's REALLY clever and interesting.

I agree, but I guess the reason she regretted it was because she's over half-naked through most of the video and she didn't want to sell her body to make her music popular.

Any Mark Romanek video is amazing. So yea' it's great... And the song is superb too... I love the instrumental endings from the "Tidal" album. This one and "The First Taste" are my favourites... ![:d](http://images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif)

I was watching the replay of Most Controversial Videos and caught this.
Genius song, excellent video. Her looking much younger than her real age at the time really put its point across.

Yeah, so did I. I love this. The song alone showcases her talent. And the video did something cool which was showcase sex in a haunting manner. I really like disturbingly sexy stuff like that. I mean, it looks like she's being treated sorta like a dog in some parts when I see it. It's really weird, but cool. My problem though, isn't so much that this is underrated, but that it made all her other stuff underrated. It's really progressive and emphasizes the piano. I guess it was just too left of center to catch on anywhere outside of AAA.

The video was definitely... errr... different for this song.
I liked the song when it was out. I don't hear it much anymore. Fiona was certainly much better than some of the other angry solo women guitarists that came out of that era.

This was a pretty good song. It was really dark and sexy. I used to see the video all the time on television and I got hooked to the song.
That video was really sexy.

This song is amazing. Tidal has some REALLY fantastic songs, like Shadowboxer, The First Taste and Never Is A Promise. I think it's much better than When The Pawn...
Oh, and amazing video also, beautifully shot.
