its pretty gay....but I can't help but like the constant camera and choreography and chill flow. Well done, and no special effects needed, just a cool routine. well done. not like a lot of crud these days....breath of fresh air. sleepyby time
As I has said before: Sad, yet whimsical, beautifully done. Hats off to the choreographer; and when was the last time you heard a horn that totally accented a song so well. Wonderful!
People who see fault in this music or video, are the type of people I wouldn't want to spend time with. The video was extremely creative. The song is fun. What's wrong with that?
I must admit, this video is a bit odd. But i LOVE this song. It's just spectacular. And please, I am aware that other people have different opinions. Please do not reply to me saying that this video "sucks". And If it does to you, why are you watching it?
it does suck though. :) some people are wwatching it cuz they dunno that its bad and the point of commenting purpose of youtube is to leave your thoughts.

"her outfit is ballin"
obviously you are the head of the English department at Princeton. Go learn something you absolute waste. Do something with your miserable life for a change.
her outfit is ballin you uptight square. learn to appreciate the diversity inherent in a language spoken by hundreds of millions of people around the world
If you like this song you should look up Rychard Head here in YouTube (yes, thats Rychard with a 'y') ...especially the song Rychard Head does called "Banjo Bob, The Topless Knob" because it is the same style as 1234 by Fiest, and while you're there you can check out several other cool songs by Rychard Head too...all right here on Youtube!
I checked out Rychard Head and found out it makes alot of good points about society in a very cheesy but hilarious way...all should take a look at Rychard Head for a good laugh and some potential hits by a band that may or may not be made up of just one person who portrayed many characters, it's real hard to tell but worth a look at anyway!
I Luvvv It !! <33 It's so fun 2 watch but yet amazing simple. When u really look at it they look their all in a garage dancing in colorful suits.. There's needs to be more vids like these. Creative...but Simple
this is a really funky song, but this would be so crap if there wasnt the sound system and a little bit of voice help, if this was live this would be crap! ah well it still rocks!!!!!
firstly- except for EXTREMELY RARE occasions, the singers always lipsync. the quality between the video audio and the actual studio audio would be totally off.
secondly- some of you say that this wasn't planned. being a dancer myself, there's no way that a group that large can simply do "contact improv" like this. I'm sure they spent days rehearsing.
The resulting video was one take but they definitely rehearsed this several times before. The choreography, timing, placement of dancers is complex. Each one of them knew what they had to do and it all worked out well. In a way, its like what you see live on Broadway.
anyone who thinks there are no effects on her voice and she is just singing in the room is totally ignorant. Notice how you cant hear the shuffling of 20 or so dancers running and breathing? notice how she is moving all around the room yet her voice always sounds like it is 4 or 5 inches from the mic? And dont try to be smart and tell me they gated it, because that is stupid. This was preformed in a studio.
That being said you should check out mushaboom if you like this song.
Whats so wromg with recording in the studio it doesn't matter if she doesn't have talent this song and video is awesome so there is really no need to judge her when you probably don't even have a good voice.
Of course. Most video songs are pre-recorded in a studio and lip-sung for the filming of the video. No shit. What's stupid is that you're are so pedantic about something so obvious.
i hate how people think they know everything. Brandoom. You are one of those people. If they want background noise, then its part of the music video. They could have easily cut it out but it added to the video.
I like this song. I like this video and the choreography. Fiest has a great voice. I actually had this on my ipod before is was used in a commercial. I know its obviously done in a studio. When people say that the echo is from the room excuse me for feeling the need to correct them.

the videos just echoey, that's why it sounds weird, and the reasons this may look like a joke are:
her outfit, I think it's just the kind of fashion you see on the runway and the dancing is weird because it's supposed to be fun.
