Time for the Glenn Frey Music Video Survivor, where we vote off Glenn's solo music videos until we get to the last one standing!

If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview (https://eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6551&postcount=7)

I'm going to list all Glenn’s solo music videos here. Vote for the video that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The video that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "voted off of the island.") Each round, one more video will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for the one you think should GO, not the one you think should stay.

Note: Do not criticize how/why other people vote. Their reasons are their own and they are free to vote however they like. Also, never attack a fellow poster. You can disagree without making it personal. Sometimes these games can get heated, but remember... it's still just a game.

Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Once the board clock strikes 8:00 pm Eastern on the second day, no more votes will be counted for that round - even if it's only seconds after. Your votes also cannot be changed once you have voted, even if you change your mind or make a mistake. Once it's on the record, that's it - so be careful!

If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared.

In order to avoid voter fraud, we require that you must be a member for at least two weeks before the start of the game to cast a vote.

===============================

Well, I know what my first vote will be!

I cast my vote for Love in the 21st Century.

I know that a lot of effort and money went into this high-concept video.... but I hate it!

It's so pervy. I get that it matches the theme of the song, but it's all so freaking gross. The idea is basically "Glenn as different characters at 'adult entertainment' carnival." I'm just not into it. Glenn's wretched yellow hair doesn't help matters, but even if he were at his hottest I'd still think this was a crappy video.

I had a hard time picking which song to vote off first. A few of them I really didn't like, but I vote for:

Love in the 21st Century.

Its a catchy tune, but the video was a turn off. Also what the heck was Glenn thinking with his hair. He's better with dark hair.

Love in the 21st Century was ambitious but didn't work so I won't be sad to see it go. However for this round my vote goes to

Soul Searchin'

It's dull. Unhappy Glenn is cartoonish and the romantic aspects are cliched - piggy backs, frolicking in the park and such.

Who talked Glenn into that video & that dye job? I would like to slap them!! And was that Glenn dressed & acting like PeeWee Herman?

The video reminds me of the one Madonna did for her song - Open Your Heart.

'The Shadow of Your Smile' is my vote.

I've not seen any of these solo videos before so I watched each one and made notes and scored marks out of ten! This got 3/10 on my first viewing and I stuck with this on the second viewing because I don't enjoy seeing and hearing old rockers turn all schmaltzy and sing these golden oldies. I don't like seeing Rod Stewart do it and didn't enjoy seeing Glenn do it either.

I'm sorry you feel that way. There is more to both song & video than the fact that the song is an oldie & as for turning schmaltzy, I find that harsh. Glenn had a lot of reasons for making the After Hours album, one of which was that he wanted to pay tribute to the music his parents enjoyed. If that is schmaltzy then so be it, I suppose.

Lamorna, you and I are on the same page as far as your comments here. I didn't post my view (much) about After Hours after it came out because I certainly didn't want to be a downer in a celebratory thread for the new album from Glenn. But this is different. This is a game in which I have been invited to post my opinion about all of these videos, and now I can freely explain that I don't like hearing Glenn sings these songs. I simply do not like that style of music, and the fact that he did it for his parents is very nice, but doesn't change my opinion of these songs and these videos. It's bad enough when I hear Frank Sinatra or Michael Buble or Harry Connick, Jr. singing these songs, but it's even worse for me when I hear rockers who I grew up listening to, such as Linda Ronstadt, Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney and Glenn Frey do them. I certainly understand Lamorna's description of 'schmaltzy'. I feel like they sold out.

That being said, my list actually has Love in the 21st Century at the very bottom. But, since it's going down with no help from me, I can set my sights on bigger fish. Therefore...

I vote for Route 66.

love in the 21st century:confused:

Hey - no cheating Missy ... one vote per round please! :wink: :grin:

I have to say, I'm not at all surprised that LIT21stC will be the first to be eliminated. However, unlike many of you, I don't think it is horrible. To repeat what I've said before, while it's certainly not my favorite, I actually think the video is entertaining and creative. Even if it is pervy, it does a good job of illustrating the message of the song, IMHO.

Now, as far as the After Hours album as a whole, I am on the fence on my feeling about it. I don't hate it by any means, but it is definitely my least favorite of all of Glenn's solo albums. As far as I'm concerned, many of Glenn's solo songs are superior to a lot of the songs on After Hours, so I'd much rather see him write and record his own material. I do think Glenn's vocal delivery is incredible on the album, and the sentimental side of me loves that he recorded it for his parents. But having said all this, I am going to judge the merit of the actual videos in this game, and will try not to let my overall feelings about the album influence how I vote.

In keeping with my usual practice, I am going to wait a while longer before casting my vote.

I am wondering if the word Schmaltzy has a more insulting meaning in USA translation as it isn't seen as offensive here? I apologise if it does.

Freypower, who is the only one so far who found "schmaltzy" harsh, is from Australia.

I hope you don't let that stop you from playing. Just think of it as lively debate. Your thoughts on these videos are as interesting as anyone else's, and I enjoy the game even if I don't agree with others' assessments. Let's all have fun and learn something about each other!

Just my 2 cents on the After Hours album--- LOVE, LOVE , LOVE this type of music and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE artist like Buble and Connick and anyone who covers them also, including Stewart and Glenn. But I can completely understand why some wouldn't and I feel 'schmaltzy' is a very good description for it. Lamorna says she doesn't like SEEING or HEARING them while she was VIEWING the videos-- which is what this game is about. So this....

I find that harsh. Glenn had a lot of reasons for making the After Hours album, one of which was that he wanted to pay tribute to the music his parents enjoyed. If that is schmaltzy then so be it, I suppose.
doesn't make sense to me because I don't feel the reason why Glenn made the After Hours album has anything to do with a Glenn Frey Music Video Survivor game.


I don't want to upset anyone.
No reason to feel this way. What you said in any of this thread shouldn't have upset anyone. You stated your opinion and that's what this board is about. Please don't let this discourage you. Most of us don't offend very easily. :laugh:

And for the record, not that it matters, :laugh: I agree with Dreamer here..

Now, as far as the After Hours album as a whole, I am on the fence on my feeling about it. I don't hate it by any means, but it is definitely my least favorite of all of Glenn's solo albums.

I'm late with my vote and at this rate I'm almost better off refraining. I have always liked LIT21stC as a song and don't mind the video. Additionally I don't wish to incur the wrath of the ardent After Hours defenders (I am completely with dreamer when it comes to my feelings about the album).

So I'll just go out of left field for a video I don't like - The One You Love.

10-29-2013, 09:46 AM
pfd, no one should feel offended for whether or not they like any song/video in these games. You have a right to your opinion as does everyone else. It promotes discussion, which is what we're after, right?

I'm with dreamer on the AH album too. I think he did a wonderful job on it, but it's really not my cup of tea! I prefer my rock stars to rock!

I enjoy debate. However, I understand not everybody does. If you're the type who gets really upset or takes it personally if someone disagrees with you, this is not the thread for you.

As for those who are anxious about expressing an opinion lest they step on someone's toes... You're going to have to get over that if you want to play. Opinions are what this game is about. Sometimes they're expressed strongly, but as long as no one's getting attacked, I don't see a problem.

I hope no one expects me to apologize when I feel strongly and say so. If someone passionately defending something frightens you, then prepare to be scared.

Happy Halloween. ;)

I thought mentioning why the album was made might have gone some way to explain why the video was in the style it was.

I'm sorry if people thought I overreacted to the use of the word 'schmaltzy'.

For the most part I will vote but not make comments.

I was just coming in to post some thoughts about what video I think should go next. I'm not voting yet, but I urge folks to consider eliminating The Shadow of Your Smile next. The song is my favorite song on After Hours, but the video isn't hitting on much for me. It has a nice setting and ambiance, but otherwise it's just showing a performance of the song. The Heat Is On is a performance video too, but at least it has some fun, energetic action from the film going on in it that I find entertaining.

Freypower
10-29-2013, 10:13 PM
Let me get this out of the way & then I will say no more about it.

TSOYS became my favourite Frey video as soon as I saw it, simply BECAUSE it is a performance video, because he looks so good & I love watching the way the other musicians move from the bar to join him in the performance. It makes me feel the song even more deeply than I did before I saw it. I find it very moving. It also reminds me of seeing the song performed live. :? If this & Route 66 go early, it can't be helped, but I love them both & needed to say so, once.

My vote this time is for Livin' Right.

Wow, I'm a bit surprised more people aren't on board with The Heat Is On as the next to go.

While the movie clips are cool and all, they overshadow the footage of Glenn. That footage itself is pretty static: he's in a small room playing and singing, shot in black and white. Now, he looks hot singing into the mic and grooving on the guitar, I grant you, but in terms of sheer quantity it's not enough. At least he is the focus of Shadow of Your Smile.

JMHO.

Well, we are all over the place here and it may only take a handful of votes for elimination this round, so it may be time to form an alliance. So far it’s close between Route 66, I’ve Got Mine, and The Shadow of Your Smile. The Shadow of Your Smile is the least energetic and entertaining of these, IMO. While Soda prefers it because the focus is all on Glenn, I feel the exact opposite. Glenn gives a passionate performance, but I would like to see more happening in the video. Although not necessarily creative, even a romantic backdrop showing scenes of a couple in love would help – it just needs something else to me. Route 66 and I’ve Got Mine aren’t my favorites either, but at least they have some interesting action going on. I love the set in the Route 66 video and I think all the dancing is fun to watch, even if it’s not my kind of dancing. As far as I’ve Got Mine, I absolutely love the song so that helps enhance the video some for me, as does the social commentary.

So here's my vote and I hope others will join with me …

I cast my vote for The Shadow of Your Smile.

Well Dreamer ~ I am going to join you. I had already made my decision last night but I was too tired to post it plus I wanted to sleep on it. I was hoping it would evoke a Glenn dream - :inlove: No such luck!!

I absolutely LOVE this song and I think Glenn sings it beautifully. I could listen to it ALL day! However I do not like the video. I do not care for the concept and I really do not like that it is in black & white. Glenn has beautiful coloring, skin, eyes, hair and they need to show it - IMO. It may be just my eyes but there was something off with the lighting. I'm sure they were trying to set the mood but I didn't like it. In fact IMHO I think they should have used TSOYS version that they used in the After Hours trailer on his website. I loved it with him singing in the studio with just Michael Thompson on piano. I thought it was very moving. Plus it was in color. So even though I love Glenn singing this song......

I vote The Shadow of Your Smile

It's tough for me because once "21st" was gone I didn't have a strong opinion either way about the videos. I know what my top 3 are... THIO is one of my favorites. It's my favorite Glenn tune probably, but I'm trying to not let that persuade me. It's not my #1 vid though.

That said, after watching again I've decided on:

The Shadow Of Your Smile

As I've stated, I don't like the After Hours style of music at all, but of the two videos in this game I can stomach The Shadow of Your Smile much more than Route 66. Route 66 is gimmicky and corny, IMO. I don't like the hand in the pocket, the finger-snapping, and I certainly don't like the dancing. If the video were a parody I would feel better because I could laugh at it along with Glenn, but it's not.

I feel kind of bad because I realize this is a matter of my personal taste vs. the actual quality of the video, but

I vote for Route 66.

I just cannot vote for TSOYS. I really love it, and it also reminds me if the evening Soda was here in Dublin as it was released that day and we watched it on my iPad!

I'll admit I had been lurking too to see f an alternative to TSOYS would show up strongly.. I'll agree in terms of Glenn :heart: THIO isn't great but I'm reluctant to part with it just yet.

Leaving me to vote off 'I Got Mine'

As far as THIO, I have to say it's kind if another BOS for me in that it was a staple of the 80s MTV that I loved so much. So I just can't part with it yet.

As I've stated, I don't like the After Hours style of music at all, but of the two videos in this game I can stomach The Shadow of Your Smile much more than Route 66. Route 66 is gimmicky and corny, IMO. I don't like the hand in the pocket, the finger-snapping, and I certainly don't like the dancing. If the video were a parody I would feel better because I could laugh at it along with Glenn, but it's not.

I feel kind of bad because I realize this is a matter of my personal taste vs. the actual quality of the video, but

I vote for Route 66.

All of the reasons why you don't like the Route 66 video are the exact reasons why I do like it. When he put his hand in his pocket during the LA show, it was just sexy. As for the finger snapping I find it cool & sophisticated, but then I have seen the song performed live a few times. As for the dancing, wow; he can move. He was 63 when he filmed this. :shock:

As for TSOYS it needs precisely nothing else apart from what you see, in my view. I'm sorry more people don't like it more. Quite honestly I expect both songs to disappear one after the other & it will be a sad relief. :confused:

I like both the After Hours videos because they capture performances without too many distractions. For me, they have a simple elegance.

There are other videos that just take away from the song and I'd put "I've got mine" in that category (I've already voted). The "rich" and "poor" footage isn't challenging or interesting and I don't understand why we have women gyrating in tight red dresses.

I need to get in here and vote now because who knows what the weekend will bring.

I just went in and watched about 4 of these videos again, including I've Got Mine, thinking that I must be missing something because everyone's voting for it and I don't have it this far down on my list. I just can't vote for it yet. I'm finding myself leaning toward mostly 80s videos because I just loved them back then.

I'm afraid the one I have to vote for now, after watching it again this morning, just isn't doing anything for me. In fact, it kind of drives me crazy. I don't really know why since I actually like the song-could be the dancing, could be something as silly as his hair (which I don't care for the greased back look). Sooooo, sorry to those who have advocated for it here but it has to go sometime.

I vote for Route 66.

I appreciate what he was trying to do with "I've Got Mine" but I agree that they could have chosen the clips a bit better. I especially think they harped a bit too much on the "shallow Hollywood wife" stereotype as the representation of greed when, if you listen to the song, it's a man who's the representative. I guess it was decided that it would be more fun to show aging but still pretty Hollywood women in bikinis. That said, even if the message is conveyed a bit clumsily, at least it HAS one. That's more than can be said for another video which I will persist in voting for....

I cast my vote for The Heat Is On.

Regarding "Route 66" - I think the dancing is adorable and I like the retro feel. JMHO.

Well - there are still quite a few outstanding votes, but it's not looking good for I've Got Mine. Although there are a few others I would choose to eliminate first, I think of the I've Got Mine video as a big missed opportunity. I've mentioned this before, but I just absolutely love this song. In fact, it may be in my top 5 of favorite Glenn solo songs. However, while I don't think the video is awful, there are so many ways they could have done more with it to do justice to the song. If you want an example of a great way to do a 'social commentary' video, you don't have to look any farther than The End of the Innocence. A similar story-telling approach could have been used very effectively for the I've Got Mine video to convey the song's message, IMHO.

Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and vote early this time for one of the videos that just doesn't rock my world. The video is okay, and Glenn looks great (as does his sidekick, Mr. Schmit), but that's not my criteria. I know some of you like this video and song, but I just don't think there is much creativity going on here. So ...

I cast my vote for Some Kind of Blue.

But I keep on.

The "Livin' Right" video is a bit cheesy but it does have some hilarious moments, like when Glenn is passed up on the track by an old lady and a kid - the look on his face is priceless - and when he's caught with the french fries and has to have them wrested from his hands. I also crack up at his nightmare with the fitness dominatrices after he passes out from over-exertion (LOL). He's adorable during the basketball parts as well, in his Miami Heat gear.

Keep your eyes peeled for Cindy Frey (then Millican) in the purple leotard! They met doing this video.

Definitely more entertaining than a certain video filled with movie clips... ;)

I find "The One You Love" to be quite well-done. It's not your typical "act out a love story" video but rather an artistic approach that works on a higher level.

Look at the way the people are posed and the striking and/or high contrast colors used; the deliberate artificiality of the construct so that you understand that all of this is really only happening in his head. In the end, when the camera pulls back to reveal the actual stage itself, you get an additional layer of meta-commentary on the whole idea of the construct - ie, he's deluded about her; her love is an illusion, just like the video.

We start out in blackness, with nothing but Glenn and a sax player in spotlights. This minimalist approach would be boring if that's all there was to it, but it serves to introduce the surrealistic, artificial nature of what's coming.

At 1:00, with the woman in black on the bold red covers, you get the beginnings of the "plot" but again laid out very artistically. The camera pulls back to reveal a room with modernist lines and an eerie landscape portrait on the back wall; Glenn is revealed in the corner, commenting on the scene with anguish but not a part of it. Again, it's designed to look artificial; all of this is happening in the mind. The drama of the colors chosen reflects the drama of what's happening.

At 1:30, we flash back to the room with the spotlight, and now she's in it with the other man. This room represents the narrator's most basic emotional response, which is why it's so minimalistic, and why we keep returning here.

One of my favorite parts is around 2:15, when he and the woman are dancing in front of a painting that's an ironic representation of "nature" in that it uses unnatural coloring with dream-like smoke wafting up. She swirls between the two partners just as she's swirling between the men in her indecisive mind. It's also a call back to the portrait in the bedroom. This is the only part of the video where Glenn actively engages with the women rather than just watching sadly, and it seems to denote the beginning of the end.

2:39 makes that clear with the scene in the car. What could be more of an artificial construct than a convertible in wintry, barren landscape? Again, the bright painted backdrop serves to emphasize how surreal this all is. Glenn is left "out in the cold" indeed, warming himself by a poor man's fire. Since all of this is taking place in his head, it represents a manifestation of his feelings of isolation and neglect in a very artistic way.

When Glenn looks at that camera at 3:24 and sings straight to it, which is really the only time he does so, you can tell he's got that acting talent because he sells that pain and vulnerability completely.

Probably the most striking shot visually is the last one I referenced earlier at 3:51, with all of the players posed in the bedroom as the camera pulls back. The stripes on the floor give a feeling of elongation to the room that adds another surrealistic element.

All of this is actually very sophisticated, but you do have to observe carefully to appreciate it. Just characterizing it as, in essence, "scenes of love lorn Glenn" reduces it to its most simplistic level and misses all the carefully crafted artistic nuances that went into making this video.

I encourage anyone who didn't notice these things to watch it again, this time focusing on its visual arrays and aesthetics. If you still can't appreciate its aesthetic value, fair enough, but give it a chance.

Well done analysis of TOYL video, Soda. Although, I like the song a lot, I'm not as big of a fan of it as some of you here. However, I agree that the video is very creative, sophisticated, and artistic. To me, it is so well done, it actually enhances the song for me. Whenever a video can achieve that for me, it's a winner in my book!

I also want to comment on the Livin' Right video. Although I agree that it may be a bit cheesy, I also find it very enjoyable viewing. I love Glenn's humor in it, and I also appreciate the dancing choreography. It's a really good contrast and backdrop for the humorous scenes, and together they create a very entertaining story for me.

I'm going to wait to cast my vote to see how this round shapes out. If previous votes mean anything, it seems like Route 66 may be destined to go down next. But, it's hard to say at this point.

I think I need to re-think my approach to these music videos. The main obstacle for me is I like seeing my favourite singers/bands perform live on a stage. I like to imagine I can smell the sweat.To the extent that no matter how big my love is for Randy I loathe the 1989 Poco music video 'Nothing to Hide' with Randy mooching about in set vocal scenes interspersed with clips of loved up and unloved up couples acting out the story. The song itself tells the story. Seeing and watching a singer perform naturally, exposing their emotions moves me. These music videos seem so contrived to me.

So I will rid myself of these prejudices and judge as objectively as I can.

This is where you & I differ on TSOYS. He is performing & expressing his emotions there. There is nothing contrived about this one for me. I can see why you think some of the others are contrived, Route 66 included. But I guess if you don't like the type of song, as you said earlier, you won't be convinced.

The point of music videos was to get away from the old idea that performers could only be shown performing. Sometimes the new approach worked, sometimes it didn't. My own favourites of Glenn's videos are the few in which he is performing, and TSOYS epitomises it. When he sings the song live, that is what he looks like; even when he bows his head at the end. He did that at one of the shows I saw earlier this year (Melbourne, I think).

As we’ve always say, each of us can use whatever criteria we wish to judge the videos. There is no right or wrong way. Some choose to analyze and examine them very closely, whereas, others may just go with their gut feeling. To me, any way is valid and the bottom line is to determine the ones that entertain you the most. However, as far as the criticism about the videos being contrived, honestly, I don’t get that. Of course, all videos are contrived even the ones that are performance videos, but some are just better contrived than others.

This round is a lot closer than I expected, and even though this will lose in the case of a tie, I’m going to stick with my vote too …

The next three videos on my list are The Heat Is On, Part of Me, Part of You, and Route 66, but in no particular order. My feelings about all of them are pretty even, so depending on how this round plays out, I could be persuaded (or maybe even bribed :lol: ).

11-04-2013, 10:40 PM
OK. Here's why THIO should go next.

Route 66 has a very charming retro vibe. I know some find it cheesy, but it's appropriate to the song. Most importantly, it truly is a GLENN FREY video and not the occasional shot of Glenn amongst movie clips.

While it's true both POMPOY and THIO have movie clips, POMPOY is far superior to THIO.

POMPOY may be dominated by movie clips, but the Glenn parts are absolutely beautiful. The song lyrics in lovely script projected onto the walls, reflected in the widows, even casting shadows on his face... the lyrics are everywhere... as a person who loves books, I really appreciate that emphasis on the poetry of song. The pages are even hung up on a clothesline while the ink dries... such a lovely touch. Glenn in this video is a writer, a wordsmith, and I love it. Plus, oh my gosh, he looks incredible. Denim and leather and approaching HFO hair... He looks MUCH finer here than he does in THIO video, IMHO, and he's in full color! I mean, let's compare, shall we?

THIO: Not bad, but he looks a little hungover, and I was never a big fan of beige slacks:
http://glennfreyonline.com/images/hio17.jpg

POMPOY: The jeans. The hair. The mouth. The expressive eyes. The gorgeousness:
http://glennfreyonline.com/images/pompoy16.JPG
http://glennfreyonline.com/images/pompoy29.JPG
http://glennfreyonline.com/images/pompoy21.JPG



Let's be real. THIO is riding COMPLETELY on the strength of the song and the movie. This is a video survivor. Let's cut it loose.

Ok, Soda, you've talked me in to it! You're absolutely right and I'm going on Glenn's looks in these videos! Sorry to be so shallow, but that's the way it is! There's way too little of him in THIO and what little there is, he just doesn't look that great. He looks a lot better in LR!

So, I vote for The Heat Is On. We need more Glenn in the video!

Ive always been a dreamer
11-05-2013, 03:17 PM
Well - I have to say that I'm a little surprised that Livin' Right is neck-to-neck with Route 66 at this point. If this continues then I'll join the Route 66 bandwagon to save Livin' Right. Let me try to make a case for why I think Livin' Right deserves to stay around for a few more rounds ...

Most of the criticism about the video seems to be because folks think it is 'cheesy' and 'dated'. Now, I hate to overuse this argument that I've used in the past, but I always say "cheesy, yet satisfying'. Even if it is a little cheesy, it is still a cute, light-hearted, and entertaining way to get the message across. As for the video being dated, I really don't see it that way. Yep, it's in the 80's and appropriate for the time period; however, the way I look at it is that it's message is timeless. And even if it is dated, that doesn't bother me as long as the video is well-done and entertaining. (Remember, Shakespeare is dated, too).

My favorite Glenn videos are the ones that showcase his acting skills because I think they set his videos apart from some other artists. As you know, not all singers are good actors, so I really enjoy watching Glenn use his 'other' talent. Believe it or not, this is why I like to see him featured in the videos - not just because he is so hot. In general, the more the singer is involved in the action, the more I like the video.

And that brings me to the next videos on my target list - THIO and POMPOY. Of course, both of the songs are awesome, but neither of the videos are that creative - the strength of the songs carries them both, IMHO. Of the two, I may actually prefer THIO. Soda makes a good point about the lyrics to the song being displayed in POMPOY; however, unlike some of you, I don't think the way Glenn was shot in the video is very flattering. Also, I think the movie clips in THIO are used much more effectively than they are in POMPOY. To me, the random movie clips from the Thelma and Louise film that are used in the video do nothing to explain the story of the film.

UndertheWire
11-05-2013, 05:07 PM
Living Right is one of the few where the video enhances the song. The song is nothing special but the video has a nice little story with lots of small jokes. Apart from the lycra shorts, what's not to love?

WalshFan88
11-05-2013, 10:05 PM
Livin' Right

I try not to let my thoughts on the song not persuade me but sometimes they do. However, this is a case where I dislike the video as much as the song. I prefer THIO - it's the best song he ever did as far as I'm concerned, and I like the black and white. Just as some would say Boys Of Summer is Henley's signature solo song, THIO is Glenn's, IMO.

Glennsallnighter
11-06-2013, 02:56 PM
Very good point Austin, and while the video may not show case him as much as it could, the song is one which almost everybody first associates with Glenn :heart:. If I mention him to any of my friends or family the response is invariable 'didn't he sing The Heat Is On'?

I'd like to see THIO linger another few rounds so I'm voting off 'Livin Right'

TimothyBFan

Boy that was a close round!!

I'm sticking with my same vote--I just really don't care much for Route 66 or the newer videos. I loved the 80s Glenn videos-- it's a sentimental thing. :shrug: I'm disliking Route 66 the longer it sticks around. :razz:

I vote for Route 66.

GlennLover
11-06-2013, 05:22 PM
I don't want to vote off either Route 66 or Livin' Right. Concerning LR, to me it is important because it was the vehicle for Glenn & Cindy meeting. I don't think of it as cheesy. I look at it as a very amusing "tongue in cheek" look at the fitness industry.

In my opinion if any song has to be associated with him it should be YBTTC or Smuggler's Blues. In an ideal world it would be POMPOY; at any rate, not THIO just because it was a big hit.

I don't know about Australia, but here in the USA, "The Heat Is On" is definitely Glenn's most well-known song. Part of that is because it gets played so much on weather forecasts and sports games. The good news is it's made him a part of pop culture outside of the Eagles; I'll often hear people say, "In the world of Glenn Frey... the heat is on!"

Yay! THIO is finally gone! WOOT!

I understand the antipathy towards the ending of "I Found Somebody." I think that's the kind of joke men find funnier than women....

However, now I'm targeting our other soundtrack video, for similar reasons to why I wanted THIO gone. The parts with Glenn are well-done and he looks fantastic. As I argued before, the lyrics projected across the walls emphasizes the poetry of lyrics and I love that. To its detriment, though, the integration of the Thelma and Louise clips is rather clumsy. At one point, Glenn is singing, "You and I will always be together" and they show a shot of Thelma's arm being grabbed by her would-be rapist.

Um. No.

I cast my vote for Part of Me, Part of You.

Note: POMPOY is my favorite Glenn solo song EVER, so it pains me, but this game is about the video.

Cute the way the girl he leaves with slips her hand under his jacket & slides it down to rest on his a$$. I think Cindy is copying this video in the final scene of River of Dreams.

I vote for Part of me, part of you. I don't like that it's hard to separate the movie and non-movie clips and having Glenn in the back of his truck just doesn't fit with the storyline - or at least what I remember of it.

On a tangent, is Brad Pitt in that video (there's a man a hat who might be him)? Which leads me into wondering what his version of Russell Hammond would have been like (I'm not feeling it).

Heck yeah, that's Brad Pitt in the hat! :drool:He's shown three times or so.

I like this video, but then, I loved the movie. The cinematography is great, and I actually like the way they've incorporated Glenn into the video, making it hard to distinguish the actual movie clips from his parts. Soda brings up the bad editing, but that doesn't really bother me that much. Bottom line for me - Thelma & Louise was a great movie and POMPOY was a great song to highlight the deep friendship these two women developed. As much as a two-minute video can show you the storyline of a movie, I think this one does a good job.

I missed the last round as I was in NYC and nearly missed this one too. My head is still in the 'Modern' Eagles after the weekend. However I'm lookibg at what vids are in contention to go here and I think as follows:

I actually like IFS. There's a lot of footage of Glenn :heart: and I really wouldn't mind being the girl in the bar!!

SG has a special place for me because it was the first time that I saw Glenn :heart: perform anything live. Even at the tender age of 16 (neither today nor yesterday) there was something abut him.....

So even though I adore the SONG POMPOY, I don't feel there is enough of Glenn :heart: in the video than other songs, so for that reason I will vote off POMPOY.

I cast my vote for True Love. I love the song, but in the video there are teenage actors used. Or at least they look like teenagers! They go in to a bar/club where there is some very sexy dancing and drinking going on. The actors here just don't fit the parts or fit in with this very sexy song at all. Glenn however, looks awesome! :smitten: Except for those shoulder pads again! lol

I still wanna keep Sexy Girl for one more round. I suppose 'For Sentimental Reasons'! As I said earlier, I find Glenn :heart: very cute. It was the first video that introduced me to him too. Though I will admit we are heading to the big ones now! Probably the only real contender against SG this round is 'Soul Searchin' so I'm going to vote for that.

UndertheWire
11-17-2013, 06:29 AM
Soul Searchin'. I've voted for it in earlier rounds and I only voted for others to try to save something I liked better.

Ive always been a dreamer
11-17-2013, 02:04 PM
First of all, I thought I'd put in a plug for I Found Somebody since I was not around much when it was voted off (prematurely, IMHO). I love the video and I'm just going to repeat what I've previously written in its defense. I think the way the story depicted in the video fits with the song is very clever. On the surface, when I listen to the song’s lyrics, it seems as if Glenn has finally met his soul mate. However, upon reflecting deeper, I always thought the song portrayed the 70's and '80's fickle trend of falling in and out of love so easily. When I saw the video, I said a big “Hell Yeah” because that's exactly what the video says to me. She’s no soul mate – just a pickup in a bar that probably will turn out to be another disappointing one night stand! :sad: I think that is the point of the final scene when he checks out the other girl as he leaves the bar. Whenever, a video can reveal a meaning to a song that the listener may not ordinarily get by just casually listening to it, then the video gets a big :thumbsup:as far as I’m concerned.

Now on the present. It looks like this round may be a battle between Sexy Girl and Soul Searchin' so I'll comment on both.

The Sexy Girl video is one of those rare cases where I think the video is actually better than the song. I just think the video is so cute that it actually makes the song more enjoyable for me. It doesn't hurt that Glenn is so uber hot in this video that I think it should be named Sexy Guy.

However, I love the Soul Searchin' song and video. It is so sweet and romantic, and what girl doesn’t love it when a hot guy shows his vulnerable side like Glenn does this video. I also love the gospel choir and even how they invoke the social commentary into the video.

Both videos are well done and showcase Glenn’s acting ability, which is very appealing to me. However, between the two, I prefer the seriousness and vulnerability in Soul Searchin' to the humor and desperation in Sexy Girl. And I definitely prefer the song Soul Searchin' to Sexy Girl. In any event, I'm going to withhold my vote for now to see how the round shapes up. But, if any of you can be persuaded ...

Save Soul Searchin'!

Vote for Sexy Girl!

I always thought that was the point. They are kids who have heard of this place and are allowed into it, the likes of which they've never seen before! As I said above, it reminds me of the scene in Dirty Dancing when the doors fly open and the sweet, innocent character 'Baby' sees the 'dirty dancing' going on. The girl in the TL video is like Baby. Hmm, maybe True Love was the inspiration for Dirty Dancing! :hilarious:
