^ IMO, no. the bathtub is a metaphor. If he were actually trying to kill her, she wouldn't just silently go under without a fight.
nope, same time. it's all clothing and hair that makes a difference.

I honestly noticed that as well. She seems a different weight during certain parts...like significantly different. Even with clothing and hair. It was kind of weird (but not a big deal, just an offhand observation )

Kelly C is not even in the Top 5 bulleted songs at Pop radio anymore. WOW! Maybe people aren't as interested in this song as we thought. This video is awful.

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but seriously, this comment is just comedy.
I can't think of one video on MTV or VH1 right now that is better than this one. I loved it! It's a lot darker than I was expecting and I didn't expect Kelly to have actual contact with the guy, ie kissing him! She looked smokin hot throughout! and yes the video scenes were shot over two or three days...she's the same weight throughout....she's not as big as some of the clothes she's been wearing make her look....

I have always respected people not being wild about the song, but I honestly thought after seeing this video that we could FINALLY all agree that something was awesome. People thinking this video is awful proves that there will never be a song, video, performance, outfit, interview where SOMEONE won't have something negative to say about Kelly - some extremely negative opinion to express. Such is life in show business I guess.

I like the video, but I don't think it's better than WA or BTHE. I did get the sense that he killed her in the beginning and then she was haunting him.

At least then I'll know people are spreading the wealth! Oh it definitely is. It does not matter which artist does what there will always be 2-3 people who have an extremely negative attitude about it. I guess it comes from being a star and everyone having different opinions.

Oh yeah, it happens to all the artists here, and not just AI people. Madonna, Janet, Mariah, Britney, xtina, Carrie (well maybe not Carrie so much because you'll get your heart handed to you on a skewer if you say anything slightly negative about her, heh), they all get reamed.

What I find interesting is that when you look at the negative posters history and see that the artist they like isn't doing, shall we say, very well. I guess their negative posts here make them feel better.

Focus, I'm disappointed. You used to be above the fanwar fray. In any event, I thought the video was good. Not flawless but good. I liked the performance footage in white the best. The white contrasts nicely with the dark lyrics to the song. I'm still iffy on the song but I do like the chorus. It is quite infectious. I caught myself singing it in the shower this morning before I realized what song I was singing.

^You guys grow up, no, not everybody is going to like a song or anything for that matter. Its not just Kelly. Its life. Not everybody will like the same thing. Is it really worth criticizing someone for having an opinion? no. who cares about their history, its still a message board about music, not a fan board so get used to people disagreeing.
Anyways, i loved the video, really slick and dark, just how i like em.

It doesn't matter to me because I don't post there anyway. It's just an honest observation. I didn't mean to offend.

The thing I absolutely love about three of Kelly's videos (BTHE, BOY, and now NA) is the different potential interpretations that can be made by the various wicked imagery (the bathtub scenes, the Stepword housewife scenes, the last scene in NA), something which should be brillianted credited to Kelly's directors and more impressively to Kelly herself, since she wrote the treatments for all of those videos. For comparison, I did not care for the videos for MI or WA (kinda lame), but I enjoyed that tracks.
As much as I already loved NA, the song, it will now have a thoughtful visual meaning to me everytime I hear it on the radio or give it a spin of my own. THAT to me is the definition of an effective music video: one that not only effectively conveys the artistic and musical interpretation of the song, but also is often and easily visualized when a song is heard by it's audience . To that I must say, Kelly is above masterful, especially at such an "early" stage in her career.
There will always be people to whom a song does not appeal; similary, there will be those and potentially other people who don't "get" an artistic video, simply because it does not appeal to them or possibly because the video may be on another wavelength than them, especially since some of those very same people are likely used to the superficial, mindless, cheap imagery that makes up the bulk of music videos today. I am by no means suggesting that this video is sooo deep that it requires a Ph.D. level discourse to explain it's covert and overt meanings, but relative to music videos in the past 10-15 years, this is nothing short of artistic brilliance, including her acting abilities in her videos, which are also impressively noteworthy. What amazes me even more is that this same person possses a voice that IMO is in the Top 5-10% of female vocalists of all time.
I think it is now safe to that: THE FUN PART OF THE 'MY DECEMBER' ERA HAS JUST BEGUN !!!

Frankly the video made me like the song LESS (I still think it's OK...not being a hater lol). While the video was good, it wasn't very "Kelly"...honestly I expected that kind of video from Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan...not Kelly Clarkson. Oh well...

Honestly, that's one of the main reasons I love it! We might have never expected something like this from Kelly, but she's able to pull it off beautifully. The song is very dark, angry and resentful... the video needed to reflect that 100%, and I'm glad Kelly wasn't afraid to do it.

Watching TRL right now, the world premier. She's coming up. You east coasters know if they show the entire video? I'd rather not look at the Youcrap video quality, I'm sure it will hit AOL music video's soon.
Go go Beekira still @ #6. That's the sexiest video out right now with Rihanna's and Gwens new one close runner ups.

I don't think the video was good at all. I think Kelly was out of place in the video and the video highlights everything that is wrong with the song.
