*taps mic* Ahem? Hello fellow inhabitants of Travisland! I bring you round two of the Music Video Showdown!*cues "Eye of the Tiger."*
*artwork from The Invisible Band, not a Land's End catalog
First, let's take a minute to mourn those who will not be continuing on to the next round...
Turn (US Version): As our favorite front man said "the US version of turn is quite possibly the worst video we ever made," and with an overwhelming 33 votes, it looks like the board agreed with you Franny.
Happy: 22 boardies were singing, "I'm so happy, but this video is crappy," and decided that the video's simplicity was no match for the other contenders in it's group. Many questioned the purpose of the wee doggy at the end.
The Beautiful Occupation: WHY? Because white suits and spray paint just won't cut it.
U16 Girls: With 17 votes, Travis' very first music video was knocked outta the competition. But in the commentary for the video for "All I Want to Do Is Rock," on the Singles DVD, Dougie is quoted saying that making it was, "quite a bad experience." So, maybe it's not that big of a loss.
New Amsterdam: The latest addition to the Travis music video vault was ousted with an overwhelming 32 votes. ROUGH
Round two will consist of ten battles. Please pick your FAVORITE... let me repeat that, FAVORITE video from each battle. One more time with feeling. PICK YOUR FAVORITE.
BATTLES
1. Turn vs. Closer
2. All I Want To Do Is Rock vs. Tied to the 90's
3. Side vs. Coming Around
4. Sing vs. Driftwood
5. Why Does It Always Rain On Me? vs. Flowers In the Window
6. Writing to Reach You vs. Love Will Come Through
7. My Eyes vs. 3 Times and You Lose
8. Slide Show vs. Re-Offender
9. Walking In The Sun vs. Love Will Come Through (Haar Schnitt)
10. More Than Us vs. Selfish Jean
