Blowing Kisses in the Wind...
Ok, I'll share with you a little of what kind of classes I'm studying in college...
It's all for the greater good you know...
(but don't steal my work! Because I am media literate and litigiously so...
and some of this is copywritten material, folks)"Praise Be! "
towards:
~The Astral Realm~
[YouTube] ,
and everyone else online...This song is the:
E S S E N C E
of EVERY single ONE of my PAST
"romantic entanglements"...
I Love/Live for the song's lyrics...
and the overall message...
~This music video truly stands out as a defining piece of early 1990's pop culture. For several reasons...
Paula Abdul, is certainly an exceptional dancer as well as a songwriter and lyricist.
Although, she is clearly playing up to the corporate powers in this video montage, she still manages to get her message across to those who will search for the deeper meaning...
This video is essentially expressing, through a variety of ways, what it really means to and for a woman who is taken for 'granted'."
In the framework of this video, we see that Paula's artistic and stylistic skills as a dancer are truly left behind or underappreciated...for her to become "successful" in a man's world; from a man's point of view...
which is to say: "to get the job done, and to make some money at it!"
She has to succumb to the culture's demands of her. She must supress her individual nature and originality so as to, not only move the video along, but to satisfy the demands of the consumeristic public audience.
When viewed in the framework of the early 1990s, in an attempt to broaden 'the image she is portraying' to a wider audience, globally, Paula loses her own identity...not only as a woman, but as a person in general. She can be summed up in such a temporary gesture as "a blown kiss." Temporary and ephemeral...a mere "passing fancy" for any man to dream about. But she is successful in getting the message across that: Even though
Sadly, when portrayed in this video format Paula's original message, in my opinion, becomes faded, proliferate, and muted.
Whereas, if you were to take the Lyrics of the song...the true words' worth on their own... it suddenly becomes relevant again; the message becomes powerful again.
No matter what sex the person who is writing or reading about this piece is, things you can take to heart are:
Words in their most basic function ARE what you percieve them AS;
they ARE what you ask of them to BE...
