The music was insipid, but next time I'll just watch it with the audio off and a perky Hot Chip track in its place. Or perhaps something heavier.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKxPzkafpKs
I recommend starting ABR 5 seconds into the Ariana Grande song.
Wow!

How did you know about connecting those?  It's the perfect video for the other song.  I'm sure it's a vastly better video for the other song than for the song it was made for.
I'd like to think it's my Fucking Awesomeness, but there may have been other factors involved.

Start this wingsuit flying video and turn down the sound:

https://youtu.be/-C_jPcUkVrM

Then start John Denver's "The Eagle and the Hawk" and turn up the sound:

https://youtu.be/3n4BPPaaoKc

It actually looks like those guys are landing in John Denver's yard at the end.  Seriously.

This one is a bit advanced, but its mesh is tight.

As I Lay Dying - Confined

10 Natural Disasters Caught On Film

Start the music at exactly 0:14. Play the silent video until the words "Fire Tornado" glimmer out of the screen at 0:49, then click it forward to 1:22 and continue through the rest of the song.

Watching it live, I didn't think it was that good. Was that recording autotuned? I still think the standard was set by Demi Lovato.

I don't know if the recording was modified.  I was pleasantly surprised, listening to her in real time.  But maybe my expectations of Lady Gaga were too low. 

But yeah, Demi Lavato definitely cranked it out nicely as well.  Very different in style, sort of a shouting more than singing at some parts, but definitely great all around. 

Some believe Whitney Houston set the bar impossibly high back in 1991:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_lCmBv ... _lCmBvYMRs
I guess what I'm asking you is, did she sound like that video when you watched it in real time? I was fucking riddled watching it live, so my opinion shouldn't count.

Lady Gaga is very talented.

Seriously.

She has a great voice and a strong feel for all sorts of visual art.

She's like a combination of Linda Ronstadt and Andy Warhol.

It's okay.  You can just say "meat dress" if you want to.

Yeah, that's true.  I think I dismissed her a bit because of some of her sideshow antics.  But the girl can sing.
I think red eyeshadow is so very appealing!  Stole the show.  ;)  I am a big Linda Ronstadt fan, not so much of Warhol.

FYI... most of the time in big production, heavily choreographed, dance move filled shows and concerts modern singers aren't actually singing and cavorting around the sage at the same time... they lip-sink to their own recordings...  its hard to do aerobics and carry a tune...

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Lady Gaga is the daughter of a former West Virginia University cheerleader.  Go Mountaineers!

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Talks to Young Voters

Like most things Triumph, it is definitely NSFW.
I think I might be injured from laughing at that.

Triumph is like the Walter Cronkite of my generation. 

To put it simply: I trust him.

  OK that was cool!! i have heard that song in English and German hundreds of times (in high school) but only as a catchy pop tune, i never really listened carefully to the words or put it together with the cold war/Berlin wall before... awesome perspective flip...

Not as funny (for me) as the previous Triumph video I posted, but some good parts too.

Don't miss the skit performed during the hair-metal song toward the end of the video (skit starts at around 6:30; whole video is 7:30).
I loved the way Donald single-handedly fought off all of those poncho clad pedros.  Heroic!
