Although I’m not a fan of hers, I’m quite enjoying the new video for Fergie’s newly released song, ‘Clumsy’. Its a cute video, with the set looking as if it were from a pop out book – something that I had loads of fun with during my childhood.
I enjoyed looking at all the details, like the paper clouds going by and the paper trees being knocked down.
But one thing that I cant help noticing, was the blatant product placement. I saw at least three products in this video :
1. Dsquared
Dsquared² is a fashion label created by two brothers, Dean and Dan Caten.
MAC is brand of cosmetics sold internationally, and used by professional makeup artists, models and celebrities.
I’m not quite sure which model this is, but the logo, its obviously a motorola :P
Watch the clip below :
I’ve never seen so much product placement in one music video before, but I doubt that this will be the last. At the top of my head, I can recall a few other music videos.
Campari in Christina Aguilera’s Candyman
Nokia 7370 in Nelly Futardo’s Promiscuous
Covergirl Cosmetics in Rihanna’s Umbrella
Coincidentally, Rihanna is selling actual umbrellas (yes a brolly!) Wahahaha! Too funny.
Do you watch music videos? Have you noticed product placements too?
Sidenote :
I think I must have Raya’ed too hard as the very next day, I’m hit with fever, flu and cough! I’m still convalescent. Oh the irony.
Hmm..a lot of pple I know are sick..
it’s the air oren I guess? heh heh..
take care.. :) get well soon..
product placements are huge money makers!
movies have pp’s too, like the recent transformers and ebay.
anyways, out of topic, the video player from AOL loads VERY fast!
Ophelia
I think that could be it. Air oren is dangerous! Hehehe
Malique
Yeah in movies too! Like charlie’s angels. How is it possible that while the angels are fighting, they could still turn their mobile phone at an angle so you can see the logo? -_-”
I dont know if the AOL player loads fast. Seems pretty much the same to me. Maybe its the lower bandwidth from lesser people using it? Hehehehe
hey i’m sick too! *cough cough* let’s hope we all get well soon aye? ;) heh, n i guess the product placements are not having the desired effect on me – i dun even notice them, muahahaha.
You dont even notice them???? *faints* Maybe you block all the products away from your mind, hehehe :P
I hope you get well soon. My fever is gone, my flu is almost gone and now i’m left with cough :D
Hi, I just thought I’d let you know why Fergy has MAC in her video. She is the new spokesmodel for MAC’s Viva Glam line. 100% of Viva Glam profits go to charity. :)
