"The most popular music videos by one one particular artist would definitely be by Michael Jackson with no competition- what so ever"
Michael Jackson is known for his quirky, original and mesmerising dance moves. So when they came to the screen his fans and everyone around the world would fall in love instantly. The most famous example would be his "THRILLER short film" which is 13 minutes which includes acting, dance and the song "thriller"
This video quickly became one of the most popular music videos of all time and even today 29 years on from when it was made (1982) it remains the ultimate music video.
M.J also holds the title for the most expensive music video ever made. Along with his sister Janet the pair made their video "Scream" In 1995 they paid $7,000,000 which today means the value would be around $10,000,000.
and you can see why!
Coldplay are also a worldwide known band. They recorded a video to their song "the Scientist". Due to the video being played in reverse (from finish to start) lead singer Chris Martin had to learn the lyrics backwards for the whole of the song. Which took him approximately a month. "It wasn't the easiest thing I have ever done!"
One music video that I found which I thought was very interesting and extremely controversial was by the band Nine Inch Nails (NIN). What I liked most about this video was the detail and attention put into it through the lyrics and the irony shown through the video itself. It caught my attention quite a bit, with the dark and twisted lyrics along with explicit content, it makes you want to watch all of the video and see what they can come up with next.
In contrast, Katy Perry is another performer who excels with her quirky and interesting idea when it comes to music videos. Her attention to detail however is through props and make-up. Which gives the song a vivid feeling and keeps a lasting effect on the viewer. That is what I like most about Katy Perry.
