Grimes - Vanessa (Official Video)

[CoralisMaie]

Why is this song called Vanessa?

[caliixxs]

If I hear this song one more time...

[OluapOirevlis]

omg, this is so perfect!!

[mycreativityrules]

1.15 girl in plaid tights kinda looks like Selena Gomez

[mycreativityrules]

Lol why is everyone acting possessed in the 'hipster' music scene?

[munsterlover]

Grimes - Vanessa Oh I've been waiting, definitely and my heart is here right after me and my heart, waiting in the rain (x2) And my heart, it is in with the storm And my heart, heart, heart (heart, heart, heart) hey hey wanna play well baby i can go go and every other day you're running off the phone, no. well baby I would call you if I didn't know you but I'm waiting (paying?) for it. (x2)

[daltonlm7]

are they doing the same marketing nasty strategy that we've saw in the Lana Del Rey rip-off?? Cause this crap is everywhere on youtube!!

[Famas4925]

like wtf is this shit

[mychosenf8]

She is soo cute! Love her style

[Awsomesauce144]

oh hey an american apparel ad...

[piltogg]

Is this.... supposed to be a commentary on how women shouldn't feel the need to use makeup to feel pretty?

[jumaxedo]

@piltogg It's whatever.

[kbs1212]

Can't sing.

[BGAKIRAKNOXVILLE]

1:45: "Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time"

[dhodgsondesign]

@BGAKIRAKNOXVILLE Bahaha! This comment = best! Imma go watch me some Beetlejuice clips now.

[samkev84]

Something SO irresistibly attractive about her!!

[smallfaceful]

I LOVE THIS BROAD SHE IS FUNKIN AMAZIN

[niallmurph333]

"Some like abstract french, like, modernist thing". shut up.

[Gescajadillo]

American Apparel are for fags

[HeadmadeMusic]

amazing first time i hear her

[xUnknownSoldier89x]

One of the most wonderful girl I have ever seen! *_* Weird, hypnotic.

[lilyfleur7]

weird and addicting. i love grimes.

[EquinoxGT]

Christ she is gorgeous and talented; I also diggin the single Genesis she has out right now. >w<

[SpecialFester]

Did you guys know she dropped a new album last tuesday? Follow me @SpecialFester for music news and check out my "How to Become a Famous Musician On YouTube" tutorials on my channel. Plz and thx u sooo much. I love you.

[CrankLee]

i don't understand the song?

[stillmaticz847]

i am so attracted to her... me got boner in my pants pants!

[MissSnoopiie]

Weird.



[SurgeCess]

This is song great. And its sad that this is being linked to that tragedy in Ohio, Lane can go to hell.

[b1uish]

the girl at 4:40 lol

[mikesandytoes]

the girl with the black hair is strangely attractive idk if thats the actual singer or just a dancer for the vid

[orangezbythefreeway]

SLED ISLAND

[boxheadrobotmonster]

1980s Winona Ryder called...

[baxzy]

weird...

[extremelybusy123]

I don't think this is amazing.

[JonnyUnderrated]

@extremelybusy123 She doesn't care what you say!

[pikakirabygiyweedo]

@kaaboominyomouff Ummmmmmm but she sounds like a 10 year old and even looks like one and the video and song pretty much suck. Sorry but it's true. T_T

[catygmz]

beautiful 

[MASTERGUERRERO2]

everytime I hear this song... I just wanna buy a GUN!!! :)

[TerryDaTerrible]

@MASTERGUERRERO2 ...T.J. LOL

[wizkhalifa513]

TJ Lane brought me here, Weird like I expected..

[iansarmy1]

It's mildly catchy but I don't understand how this is new or innovative. She has taken New Wave music and repackaged it with the vocals of Bon Iver and the quirkiness and esoteric artiness of Bjork. The underlying music is something I could have heard 20 years ago on a Pure Moods CD.

[begalthegreat]

@iansarmy1 you win this comment board, congrats 

[TheIceQueenKellz]

Awesome song..luv it!!!

[lohumbert]

I love her little white girl dance moves. :)

[UPRPT]

i don't understand the hype over this. her vocals are annoying, the music really isn't anything special. swear people are just thirsty for something to latch onto and praise.

[dontkeepthisname]

@UPRPT I haven't ever heard hype. But that's just me.

I personally dig her voice but, again, that's just me. The music may not be special, but it needs not be in order to be enjoyable. And that's all I look for. Enjoyment.

If you don't like it... try Mogwai or M83 or.... Sun Glitters maybe?

[hunter10nw]

@UPRPT

Music is subjective, taste differs from person to person.

[gsxwrx]

i think tj lane is gay

[jcr254]

@gsxwrx Because he likes this music? Or are you using the word gay as a pejorative term?

[gsxwrx]

@jcr254 Because he likes this music and some other gay shit I saw when I looked up the other song he listens to. If you are a guy and listening to this then you are most likely a homosexual 99.5% chance. The other .5% would just be super metrasexual with no shame.

[mikesandytoes]

@gsxwrx i guess i fall into that .5%..get over yourself your obviously homophobic. Your obviously afraid of people that are different than you. One day you will learn music is music weather sung by a girl or not especially when it comes to electro/trance or w.e this is. But do you live with shame? do you care what people think of you? maybe that is the case and thats the reason you bash on people why are gay, because you are afraid of what people with think if you come out :P my point is GROW UP

[dudeness88]

@gsxwrx Or you could just be an ignorant dipshit. Let's not rule that possibility out. Did you comment on the video with your speakers on mute or something? Personally, I don't care for the video but I thought the song was pretty cool.

[jcr254]

@gsxwrx Oh so you're a homophobe, gotcha.

[jcr254]

I don't have an opinion on the video but I do like the song.

[R0ckstar666x]

What the fuck is this shit. No wonder that kid who shot his school up listened to this!

[NihilistSlacker]

@R0ckstar666x Pretentious art school music. It's been around for a while (see: Bjork, Joy Division, Throbbing Gristle)

[tearpixy]

Aw, this is cute. If you don't get it, that's because you've never hung out with a group of attractive young women. <3

[NihilistSlacker]

@tearpixy ...oh and I'm so sure you have. But please, enlighten me on what I'm missing as I am bereft of that experience.

[tearpixy]

@NihilistSlacker You put the hurr in the durrr and then hurrr de durrrr!!!!

[NihilistSlacker]

@tearpixy I expected a response about as intelligent as yours.

Have fun with those imaginary lady friends.

[tearpixy]

@NihilistSlacker I thought a nihilist would understand reducing things to absurdity. Trolling youtube comments is absurd to begin with.

[NihilistSlacker]

@tearpixy The fun thing about the internutz is that its hard to tell when someone's trolling and when someone's dead serious.

[tearpixy]

@NihilistSlacker I was originally referring to feminine play - make up, clothing changes, sitting around in a group talking or dancing to music. The video reminds me of the many times I have gone to a friend's house to get ready for a night out with the girls. The whole video has a feminine and ethereal quality to it which I really like.

[gbvfan]

can't believe the hate-on that so many youtubers have for this amazing chica. what's wrong with you people?? she's beautiful, unique and very talented. and i can't stop listening.

[scarlotty123]

I liked it....

[thepocarisweat]

I found this a little difficult to fap to, but the gorgeous music helped enormously.

[stavinchain]

Silly kaaboom...if you don't like annoying people, then maybe you're the one who needs to be somewhere besides YouTube...where comments are enabled for a reason...to bash if we want to.

Personally, I'm not gonna bash on this video...it's a little sophomoric, but at least the song is nice.

[Fido1488]

Lol, TJ Lane shared this.

[sxnoss40]

@Fido1488 lol?

[TheOathtoOrder]

the high school shooter from Ohio had this band with a link to the song on his facebook.

[NihilistSlacker]

@TheOathtoOrder Watch those art school students. They're Satan possessed!

[shotgunwheelz]

watch in 2x speed, I dare you!! -_-

[wikkerman78]

I"M GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF HERE:)

[tealawebcongress]

Heres an article published by PlayGroundmag. com talking about Grimes and her new album on iTunes!

[bodhimachine]

oh my god

3:11

[kaaboominyomouff]

shut the hell up about the video... its annoying when people bash on an artist's video or song. If you don't like it then get the fuck outta here

[jcr254]

@kaaboominyomouff Yeah! Sharing opinions is the worst unless they coincide with yours!

[lakejautman]

@jcr254 its more being obnoxious is annoying no matter what your opinion is.

[JeremyxFisher]

@kaaboominyomouff I really disagree with your statement. You're saying that people shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinions and concerns, which is total bullshit. Even if it's something I love, I'd rather have people give me their honest opinion, than give a nice lie. You need to stop being so sensitive.

[executiveE]

Music like this Wil be the future

[executiveE]

Its the year of the dragón after tris year creativity Wil be something popular. Which meand

[annacodaa]

this is fucking weird..... I like it

[elnivlac]

I just watched this in 1/2 Speed.

[qrstrex]

DISCO SUCKS

[MrDNANDA]

i met this girl in montreal a couple years back and she was nice and modest. Right on, Grimes

[MrFunctionalfunction]

oh look a glorified gap commercial

[BiBiGhafari]

@MrFunctionalfunction 

[Roulleau]

@MrFunctionalfunction Look again and rethink that please.

[helloterrible]

@MrFunctionalfunction All of those Gap commercials where girls smear makeup all over their faces, move in reverse, and show kaleidoscopes of eyeballs.

[apriliarx2007]

drugs. nuff said

[BGAKIRAKNOXVILLE]

Beautiful, and I doubt there's a better word to describe this.

[TubesforDudes]

@BGAKIRAKNOXVILLE , perhaps fucked? ahaha, in all seriousness it is pretty cool, dig the voice.

[originalashloki]

I have no idea how to feel about this video. It's artistic and disturbing.

[0412lennon]

Video is creepy as fuck but the chick is cute

[voyageproper]

@0412lennon izzzwayyyyyykreepyer whenya live with them.....

[leavingmynameout]

quite possibly the worst video and best song of the year. accomplishing both at the same time is not easy

[joew12121]

Took a few listens before I was into it.

[milatoboy16]

HAHAHAHAHA



[invadersROCKSyou]

i need more of this music, my heart has beating at the same time of the beat.

[invadersROCKSyou]

@invadersROCKSyou what?

[MaximillionAtlas]

An authentic Lana Del Rey

[Thefanoftea]

She's so hypnotic..

[JReygeous]

wtf did i just watch?

[Erucaale]

@JReygeous "Radical feminist revolutionaries" coming to a theater near you.

[avalonspawn]

She totally looks like Lydia from Beetlejuice!

[goodmanaaa88]

she so fine

[luckliberty]

this song is terrible. Genesis and Oblivion should have more views than this dumpster fire

[TheReazak]

@luckliberty This came out looooong before those two. Try considering the things that made the artist famous.

[TheKookaburralia]

a bit creepy but I like the song

[CodyT3212]

I hate hipsters.

[hokutorion]

@CodyT3212 I love hipsters

[CALEBSBONES]

YO-LANDI???

[kibelezlek]

obnoxious tumblr-core bullshit

[kibelezlek]

this is the worst shit ever made :-(

[Fookums]

i don't get the negative response to the video. i think it's great. post-internet/post-ironic/earn­est/sincere love for pop music filtered through electronic/ambient/post-pop whatever. grimes gets it

[goodsongselecter]

anti-folk+electronic+experimen­tal

good introduction. thank you!

[auremie]

shoud check birkii holy war music video, music is much better

[alionasty]

some thoughts

1. The artist: looks really pretty here

2. The music: eh. easy to get bored of after a while

3. The video: good elements but clearly executed by an amateur

[hkim927]

@bolguevara Yes, and you know this because you visited the site and saw the recent Grimes review....

[SidewaysIsDead]

I am not kidding when I say I am in love with Grimes, I hope we meet one day and fall in love, PLEASE SEE THIS GRIMES!

[SuperSaibotShow]

that chick at 4:31 is awesome. Does Not Give

[TwoDeux]

I dont know why but the beginning scares me.

[tightsandwhich]

Grimes can fucking get it.

[bountyonmyhead]

Why do i love this weird ass video.

[cquacks77]

sounds like she's saying "ipod" at 2:10

[jhm85]

music: 7 video: 2

[theobsidianelk]

I like the music but lord, this is awful.

[svmimms]

"Yea. like some abstract..like french. like model." "heh"

[Jarrydific]

I don't like this. The lyrics are very empty...tooo generic. If you took all the excessive REVERB off of her voice I wonder if as many people would still enjoy??? The beat is mediocre lo-fi.

[CatOnABox]

Eeeeeeshh

[GothicArchies1]

This whole video reeks of trying too hard.

[MomoButterfly]

She has a nice butt on her!

[missoceans]

wtf is this video about

[rurounikenshin75]

@Nathan1138Ammons Actually, it's pop.

[rosscobosco]

She's all elbows that one!!

[futurret]

An example of the music scene being dictated by fashion. Woo the 80's are in again, half a million people can go listen to emulated 80's music on the internet.

[SuperpuffMusic]

@futurret You don't know what you're talking about. This girl made this music in her bedroom because it was what she wanted to play. It may sound 80s but it's still great music. Old white men in suits don't write this stuff. This is blood, sweat, and tears you're hearing.

[futurret]

@SuperpuffMusic YOU don't know what you're talking about. The major labels weren't exclusively old men in suits. They were just as much young songwriters providing material to the mundane artists that The Suits would deem probable to hit home with the masses. THIS song is a girl who is exactly that: her message is mundane and domesticated enough to hit home with the masses. If there were any big greedy labels left, they would be all over the safe old rehashes of this "artist".

[nikt]

@futurret i don't exactly agree, music and fashion tend to go hand in hand so as one goes up so does the equivalent. i don't know about you but where i'm from the whole 'vintage' fashion thing is getting big. basically the grungey look is back and shoegaze music is coming back in some form just so happens both were around in the early 90's. the look tends to compliment the sound of the time.

[futurret]

@nikt You say you don't agree and yet you continue into a rephrasing of my post. Music is dictated by the fashions. Or rather, some music. The hip scene (to which this song inarguably belongs) is one big parade of music and fashion, all dictated by yesterday's trends and the fears and desires of the masses.

[nikt]

@futurret one big difference though, i'm not saying it's a bad thing. also i'm not saying music is dictated by fashions just they work hand in hand. look at every music scene, there's a dress sense and attitude to go with it and has been since the 50's. yes i admit the recent scenes have looked backwards but in all fairness history repeats itself and i don't think it's a conscious thing it's just reaction. if you get a fashion that is quite vain the next set of kids will do the opposite.

[MyrdasTokes]

anyone else thinking eurythmtics?

[baaamh]

hey guys, i made a remix of this track, if you want to check it out you can go to my channel, greets

[damittcookiii]

wtf did i just watch?

[4zion4life]

elle vien de 514

[baaamh]

i love watching her dancing

[JaayPeey]

LOL at the one random fat chick

[kwoffy]

@bolguevara that website is like a museum of snobbery.

[nondweller]

this song is like taking a sip of sunshine

[simondv66]

why the fuck do the top comments always have to be about relevant stuff rather than fucking cats. cats are hilarious

[francaisemode]

@simondv66 MORONSSSSSSSSSSS

[drog1228]

this is about to blow up.

[strangefunk]

this has more similarities to a neo-kate bush than anything neo-goth. just because goth is popular now (again) doesn't mean everything popular is goth. the song isnt bad but it's definitely deviating a whole lot from what i thought was interesting about her original sound. seems like she's just meant to be on some compilation or major festival now.

[bluBlaq33]

@strangefunk I've been into goth music (and to this day) for a very long time, and perhaps to those on the outside with a good spoonful of musical knowledge on the genre one could say that yes, I could fully understand that, but I could name a great amount of goth artists with this sound, goth was never ever popular, and when it was people didn't know what to call it(a lot like this),that just something hipsters say because they've run out influences to adopt

[welldonefromhereon]

blah blah blah

[MrZacharyM]

I do not think this is a good song

Zac
