It's pretty hard to pull off a "stare into the camera lens and cry" treatment. So, credit to Selena Gomez who delivers in an emotionally unguarded video that showcases a tourtured relationship with a man with Justin Bieber hair.
Sinead O'Connor and Rihanna should be proud (or consider themselves potentially served)...
Now that she's officially "of age", Selena Gomez continues her transformation into a diva-in-training. She has a little choreography, she does a model walk down an empty street, she's driven all over Paris in what appears to be a classic Benz... and a different outfit at each locale. All that's missing is someone accompanying her. Unless she wants the alone time. BTW, Philip Andelman LOVES shooting in Paris, doesn't he?
Anthony Mandler continues to be the go-to director for the new generation of pop divas and this video for Selena Gomez is a good example of how he's able to mix-up introspection with wide open vistas and exotic, yet familiar touch.
