I was just about to post that in the teenpop thread.
I have also been thinking a lot about performers who are clearly older than high-schoolers making videos in which they pretend to be high-schoolers, and have decided that I am in favor of it, I just don't know why. Thoughts?
I thought that about '4eva' as well. It is a strange and potentially quite disturbing dynamic to play with; it's very overt in that video as well... I dunno, you could say it's just me/us projecting things onto it and that it's intended to look totally innocent but to be honest that's the kind of thing only a lawyer would say.
I'm not sure about the song. I really like the verses but the monotone chorus doesn't quite do it for me when it's repeated at the end. Hrmm.
