Behold part 9 of Fall Out Boy's epic movie/video series Save Rock And Roll — The Youngblood Chronicles. Even if you lost track of the narrative thread, "Rat-A-Tat" is especially of note thanks to a a sweet Courtney Love feature which hs the visual vibe of "Express Yourself" and the vocal style of "Popular" — an odd combo, that works.
Justin Bieber breaking VEVO records ain't nothing new: Back in 2012, the young popstar and video service celebrating having over 3 billion cumulative views.
Now his debut "Baby" crosses the BILLION threshold at VEVO, becoming their most viewed clip of all-time.
What happens when the unstoppable force Justin Bieber meets an immovable and unimpressed beauty? Well, obviously he charms her.
In Bieber's first video since his Miami escapade, we see him living up to the song title, confidentally working his pick-up moves and chasing in pursuit until he gets what he wants.
Also notable: This video might restart the Takis craze that diminished after Hot Cheetos and Takis fell off the viral radar.
A look at life with/without a cherished sibling in this narrative that chucks away some of the pre-conceived notions of what an EDM video looks like — much like the song does as well. This could also be seen as Avicii's "thank you" to America for helping him cross over to the mainstream this year.
Welcome to part seven of Fall Out Boy and director DONALD/ZAEH's 11 part series The Young Blood Chronicles. Don't worry if you're not caught up, since the situation doesn't require much backstory to enjoy: We got a hook-handed maniac, a Hospital setting that's only a couple dead bodies removed from The Walking Dead, and enough luridness to appeal to American Horror Story.
So, I guess what I'm saying is that somebody should call Netflix and make this a proper series.
While the teaser made "All That Matters" seem like it an all-growns-up bump and grind, the full video presents something a bit more uncomfortable (or less uncomfortable, depending on your perspective). Which isn't to say that sex isn't in the air here — it is, big time — but Bieber moves all too easily from intensity to playfulness to tentativeness, like a master performer trying to see what role gets the best response.
