The Day I Talk About "LoveStoned / I Think She Knows"

Justin Timberlake has never failed to surprise me with his MTV's. Remember the swift dance moves that transitioned from his N*SYNC days and into his solo career? I do. But it seems like he's kinda lost his groove recently. Maybe it's the stress of an über-successful album? Only God will know. His latest video "Lovestoned" basically promoted his tight schedule by the means of a low budget, made-for-the-sake-of-making thing that's supposed to pass off as an MTV.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It starts off looking like this:


"Is that his heartbeat?"


Then it changed and became a series of complicated DJ pulse/beat waves you'd see on your old hi-fi sets (plus the "lousy graphics" effects faulty tv's have). And it's got Justin's face in it! I found it quite innovative that he fused his dance moves with the beat-like graphics so that viewers won't notice the lack of effort he's put into making this video. Kudos to the crew who did the effects.


Justin loves to stare, even when he's just lines and waves.


...and he fades away!

Unlike his other videos, there were no appearances of girls in this, except maybe for this one and only unknown female:


Who is that? (Notice those lips!)

I'm guessing that she's either

1. Jan Dick

Look at those lips!

2. Whitney

Look at those lips!!

3. Jaslene Gonzalez

Look at those lips!!!

4. Jessica Biel (his new flame)

Look at those lips!!!!

One thing's for sure: He's definitely into "The Pout" (think Cameron Diaz).

I was pretty ok with the video all the way until the ... / I Think She Knows Interlude part. If it's not annoying, I don't know what is. Here's the deal:



If I wanted to watch something that looked like that, I'd play songs on my Windows Media Player (which I don't use cos I only survive with iTunes now) and watch the visualizations. That is if I really am that bored. Which is never.

Speaking of boredom, Justin finally emotes his song title towards the end of the song.


I think he's lovestoned...


...stoned stoned stoned stoned...


What the hell is the grey place he's in anyway? A stone?

This vid really leaves much to be desired.
