POLL 69: ANIMATION MUSIC VIDEOS

My poll 69 is inspired by a wonderful blog called ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEOS, which can be found here:

i like Spice Girls's Viva Forever and Britney Spears's Break the Ice.

Both songs were said that they were the best track of the album but the problem was, while they were chosen as a single, both singers couldnt come to shoot the music video because...

for Viva Forever, at that time Geri Halliwell just broke up from the band and it's too sensitive to present the 4 members of the band instead of 5. (and everyone know that geri sang in this song too)

2) for Break the Ice, this single was released in the peak of Britney's emotional breakdown. So the music company decided to present it as an animation. The funny thing was, since the anime-manga style of this mv were easy to find, so there were many fan-made vdo come along and i couldnt tell which one was official and which one was fan-made because the quality were similar.

another interesting point for Break the Ice is, some said that the mange-styled MV was a remake version of Britney's Toxic MV. Although the plot was not completely the samem the tone and some plot are very similar (espcially about the persona of Britney as a female spy) .

Britney's Toxic.

Thanks very much ja. The music video of VIVA FOREVER is very nice. The music video of BREAK THE ICE, which is actually not so bad, looks a little bit cheap compared to VIVA FOREVER. I like Britney's wigs in TOXIC, but I think as a spy she may die first, while Maggie Q from NAKED WEAPON and Anne Parillaud from LA FEMME Nikita will survive. Hahaha. (I haven't seen SUAY SAMURAI, so I can't compare it with TOXIC.)

DEAR JESSIE is my most favorite song of Madonna in LIKE A PRAYER album, and she also didn't appear in this music video.
