Paris going to Jail

My thoughts when I was first watching this music video was why would someone make such a stupid video? Everything about it tuned me out of wanting to watch any more of it. The graphics were very fake and not up to date. The reason this video was one of the worst ones I have ever seen is because it is hard to make a connection with it. We understand that the story line is about Paris Hilton going to jail, but the person singing is not even here which makes it hard to believe what she is singing. Not only is the video horrible, but the song is as well. It is very hard for me to sit through and watch the video because of all the random scenes, with slutty clothes, creepy policeman, and the jail scenes.

I think celebrities are too exposed to the world, I mean who cares whether they like going to jail or not, and what their every move is in there? While watching the video, it gave me no new information that I have never heard from the news or a magazine. Paris Hilton should not be flaunted as much as she is, she is not a good role-model for young girls or anyone for that matter.

What Hurts the Most


What hurts the Most by Rascal Flatts is one of my favorite music videos that I have ever seen. All the emotions that are portrayed in it grab my attention and the story line is one that people can relate to. I remember the first time I watched this video was a couple years back when the song became very popular. As I was sitting in my office at work, I was drawn to the teenage girl, who in a way reminded me of myself. The beginning began to make sense and the tears started flowing. I watched it over and over thinking that maybe the ending would be different, something would change to protect the teenage boy. It never changed, and the girl always ended up hurt and losing the one that she loved.
There are many music videos that have the same story line of having a close friend or relative dying. I think that this video draws attention to any age group because they can relate to losing someone close to them. I feel that the meaning of this video is that you shouldn’t take the ones you love for granted, as this could be their last day with you. After watching this, What hurts the most video, and really focusing on what the moral of the song was, I felt as if it really touched me.
