Music video: Christina Aguilera - Not myself tonight


The whole time I watched this video, I was thinking: Is this really all she's going to go for? I feel like Christina was trying too hard and spinning too many plates in this video. Rather than go overblown with about 20 different looks and scenes, she should have just gone with the 3 or 4 best ones, kept it simple, and had it be all about slutting it up throughout a dance routine. Dominatrix Christina and her clones was a great look. That definitely should have had more screen time and had a killer routine worked around it.

The video was jumping around so many uninteresting set-ups that I quickly lost interest. It was like watching 2 separate music videos once the rain scene kicked in. The flow of the video just felt buggered to me.

Dominatrix Christina and '1930's styled Bionic album cover Christina' at the very start were the only parts of this video I really really liked. Everything else was dusty. Gaga did a lot of this shit in her "Bad romance" music video and did it better, and so did Beyoncé for "Green light". This video does not make me like the song any more than I did when I first heard it.

Hype Williams is really falling off with his music videos. He used to be the bomb. Now it's like he went off and he's working with scraps of his former self.
