canaanite2 July 7, 2014 Author Share July 7, 2014 I was thinking that the LaLa video had something to do with the Krampus myth, but the elephant mask doesn't fit in with that. I'm all for gay rights, but I don't like Demi Lovato's Really Don't Care video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJGUbwVMBeA It's very "look at me, I'm being edgy and subversive by supporting same-sex kissing and making out and drag queens." It's a dated concept within the context of the gay rights movement IMO and a tasteless closeup crotch shot does little to further the cause. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10279-the-music-videos-topic-remember-those/#findComment-181200

GaT September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 I really like this song, but the video is a little strange especially since the singer is the blonde girl, not the Asian girl. Actually, It's not the blonde girl either. You only see (barely) the singer for a few seconds when the Asian girl imagines she's at the bands concert. The blonde girl plays the cello (but you never actually see her play it in the video). The singer is Jess Glynne who isn't a member of the group & is just guesting on the song. It seems really strange to me that you never really see her, even though she's in the video..
