Hearing or listening to a song, then watching the music video made for that exact song will bring about two totally different reactions.Music videos do indeed affect the way I feel about a particular song. They also at times change like or dislike for a song.
A typical example is the song 'Alejandro' by the well know Lady Gaga. I hate how Lady Gaga portrays herself to the public, but I do love some of her songs. Same goes for her song Alejandro. It was one of my favorite songs, I even had it as my ring tone for my cell.
A friend and I were discussing the latest songs, and she told me I absolutely have to see Lady Gaga's Alejandro. She even went on to say it was "art", which I rolled my eyes for, but I was excited to see the video nevertheless, because of my love for the song. When I finally saw the video, I was so confused and disgusted all at the same time. I'm still not sure if her backup dancers were women or men; I don't know why she felt the need to devour religious objects in the video; I still don't know what was up with the whole Nazi theme; Then there were times when the music video resembled soft porn. A song I loved so much left such a bad taste in my mouth after watching this video. I still hum or sing along when I hear the song, but I still won't sit through the video. I doubt I may sit through any Lady Gaga videos after watching this one.
