Sonique - Why (Music Video)

[sincitylife]

Sonique is under-rated. She deserves more credit than people are willing to give her. This song is amazing!

[MarthaStout0202]

I'm not sure why, but her voice reminds me of Lady Gaga.

[GoldenSilence16]

@MarthaStout0202 Lady Gaga reminds you of Sonique

[MarthaStout0202]

@GoldenSilence16 - I stand corrected! :)

[maurizioago]

@deobeon ; Sonique has recovered and is back. She released a new single; world of change.

Ciao!

[randomman099]

@deobeon Apparently the cancer spread to her lymph nodes. She is getting treatment, and I too hope she recovers from breast cancer!

[ziziTBT]

WONDERFUL!!!

[annita645]

she is great !

[HMSiB]

Who Said that Madonna is creative ?? She prooved after her Sticky and Sweet tour that she is far from it. She can only borrow music achivments from the others, and make scandals.

[raesaunt]

Oooooh! Just found this. It's great!

[alialalawi]

Well her music is great dunno how the call madonna creative when sonique mostly does her own music and sounds better than madonna

[StudentCambodia]

i watch for the architecture

[Lucienofficial]

This is no where as good as Alive or Sky, my favourites! It's boring.

Anyway, I hope that Sonique gets over her Cancer!

[winzerwurst]

Sorry, my fault! It was with the German label Kosmo Music!!

[winzerwurst]

This is a collab with Tomcraft, a German DJ. So this Video was made in GER...

[Alecwatson]

fuck yeah MOLOTOV

:D

[Uberaoshi]

Was this filmed in Germany, Austria or Switzerland? The riot cops in this video have Polizei marked on them.

[spmull06]

Def not Switzerland. I presume Germany. My first thoughts as well.

[Uberaoshi]

thanks

[kagoatweed]

germany. one of the young men had 'berlin' on his sweatshirt, so odds are germany.

[foreignaustrian]

it maybe refers to the May 1st riots...

[neutralradikal]

It was filmed in Berlin in spring 2005 on an empty industrial area. The cops were part real, part extra. The rioter all were extras.

[maccubes]

Great Song..you should watch the "Sonique - Why (Dinky Remix)ive posted...whats even better

but i love that Song too

[Ryandel159]

She has this deep rich voice to her. Love her songs. Great for getting a party hyped up.

[IWillNotConceide18]

Riot Cop 1: "Dude, why did you let her through!?"

Riot Cop 2: "Who? Her? Oh, that's Sonique. She's cool."

[bluelovedeea]

[alamogeil]

[feralferret]

[kelvinling87]

sonia i love you..........

[Arargorn277]

The clothes are no „hip hop dresses"; this is like the german leftist activists are dressed. Usually they don't look that neat, but this is a video clip. You can even read „Kreuzberg 36 Berlin" or just „36" on a few shirts (36 was a former code for Kreuzberg). Also the behaviour of the german police is pretty much typical for that day.

[Arargorn277]

I doubt that this Video is about race issues in the first place. It clearly shows the riots on the first of may (Labor day) in Kreuzberg (wich is a district of Berlin). Or at least how it used to be a few years ago. ...

[LukethZero]

not mega barf

[guy5783158371]

love her voice and her hair

omg

[PinkRose3489]

great song and video keeps u wondering, luv it!

[0815Bla]

Why does the german police step in this riot, or whatever this should be? Is it a hint I don't understand?

[rubylove1]

she likes her MI5 moments ;)

[corinne789]

LucifersTear no one seems to care but you!! I can't stand people who try and turn every thing into a race issue, so what the some of the thugs are white get over it and just enjoy the video. Do you get my "point"?!

[cwcoddington]

Indeed. Definitely shows the world as a society still hasn't matured if we still can't even see past color. And I doubt we'll ever be mature enough to surpass this as a whole.

[deobeon]

but clearly you don't want to miss the issue at hand that ppl are still racially profiling and being racially profiled, and we can't ignore it until it all goes away and that goes for B,W,SP,L,ME,IND,etc.... and i miss how you say "we'll" choose your words wisely if you want "us" to be mature in the 1st place

[cwcoddington]

I say we...because we are all one group of people, despite the differences in ethnic backgrouunds and so on. We all populate this planet. Therefore WE'LL most likely NEVER be MATURE (in terms of development) enough to get over the racism and separations. I personally believe I chose my words very wisely, because this does apply to ALL of us.

[deobeon]

i agree with what you say on that we are a group of ppl. and as a WHOLE, we need to surpass this, but don't be discouraged, you and i can start day by day with our living situations to learn of others but most importantly of ourselves. you get a thumbs up from me

[lilnbigman]

Sonique is all "Women"!!! Ignorence is udnerstandable but stupidity is not!!!

[jayson94a]

Is that a man or a women because it looks like he/she just had a sex change

[besmir2006]

she is fantastic

[raminkos]

i love this  girl

[angelicpink]

In fact in america many whites & other races can be seen wearing baseball or basketball jerseys.Ive seen people all over the world wear bandanas over their face to protect themselves from debris while fighting, working whatever. Skaters wear it exp. if they're tag artist. & read my comment again I didnt call u a racist I was saying race or nationality (as in people) didnt play a part. Again u revert backwards to race. If fact ur the only one speaking of race. Left to play ur game of card alone.

[angelicpink]

In fact in america many whites & other races can be seen wearing baseball or basketball jerseys. In fact ive seen people all over the world wear bandanas over their face to protect themselves from debris maybe while involved in something that may harm them (fighting, working whatever). & read my comment again I didnt call u a racist I was saying race or nationality didnt play a part. Again u revert backwards to race.

[KungFuPowa]

blancos contra negros??, pasao de moda

[pinamjn]

it´s a shit commpared to "it feels so good"..this is a big song!

[DandyMartin]

does anyone know if/when a new album is due out?

oh & a top notch song yet again miss.sonique.

i worship the last album, especially "reason".

[kyliefan85]

oh thank you i wanted to post it. sonique just deserves more success!!

[pavleski001]

this high energy comeback song is fantastic

[persing3k]

doesnt seem that 'high energy' to me (compared to her other work...)

This seems to be more of a message song than a club rocker...

[LucifersTear]

Any idea what the message acctually is in that case?

All i see is white people dressed in Stereotypical black-guy hip-hop clothes vandelising things.

Racist statement?

[persing3k]

I don't where the hell you got that 'racist' idea from.

But it seems like the vid is about pollution and the environment, because it looks like they were firebombing a factory plant with alot of chemicals and smoke coming out.

If I get more info, I'll make sure to pass it along.

[LucifersTear]

It's simple, reverse the races in this video.

Now is it racist? Yes it would get the race card played and liberals would be swinging from the chandeleers over it. the line "Why can't you be happy for me" this may relate to the fact that people aren't greatful for what they've got and concentrate on the negative things?...maybe? good video but it's "racism" is down to interpretation, not one black "vandal"...reverse it = considered racist.

[angelicpink]

Hip hop culture or "Black-guy" clothing? It could be skater style or whatever. Im sure other cultures where athletic clothing. To me it looks more european (polizei) on cop uniforms. However I dont see race nor nationality playing a part in this video. To me it seems like a revolution and a power struggle between the government and it's people!

[LucifersTear]

well skaters don't wear bandana's over their faces, that is an american "gang" thing...and neither do they wear baseball numbered jerseys. I'd say it was portraying a lot of white people in black gang clothing...invert all the reaces in this video...now is it racist? YES

[angelicpink]

I dont know what ur talking about & I think u even confuse urself. U must not know much about skaters in fact my boyfriend and brother who skate wear bandanas regardless if its covering their face or whatever (by the way my boyfriend is white & moved from England 4 yrs ago)& rappers arent known 4 wearing baseball jerseys did u mean basketball? & that went out of style yrs ago.

[LucifersTear]

just shut up about "style" i'm pretty sure you're no guru on style but where i come from black "gangsta's" dress like that NOT skaters! I see no "vans" or baggy jeans or chains typical of the stereotype, they are meant to be percieved as "thugs" all i was saying is if everoyne in this video had their race inverted to a different one this video would have the blacks getting their afro's in a knot.

[angelicpink]

Thanx so much 4 showing ur true "colors". Now u really sound like a racist. Before I simply thought u were clueless. Now u have proven to simply be prejudice, and ignorant. Which is funny since sonique herself is of African decent & im sure she would disagree with ur ignorant views.

[LucifersTear]

No i'm showing "true colours" YOU percieve...stop trying to tell me who i am and stick to the point which is the FACT that if the races in this video were Inverted this would be a racist video! that's all i said! Sonique is black...you don't say. you're being ignorant, i'm mearly playing devils advocate and you obviously don't understand.

[angelicpink]

As far as style i may not be a guru but at least im versitile & know more about various culures than u. As far as judging style, u r the one picking out sterotypes and labeling what skaters wear vs. Blacks (which I guess all fall into thug or hip hop) vs. "typical" white clothing lol.

[LucifersTear]

versatile? You ask me you're the ignorant and more closed minded of the two of us. You know more about different cultures than me? How many cultures are YOU...one. Whereas i'm a Sociology student and political analyst...Please don't try to tell me what i do and do not understand.

[angelicpink]

U sound stupid & sheltered. But ill send u some videos of what various cultures & musicains/ artist etc. wear and now days the segragations lines r becoming a blur & fashion isnt limited to race nor nationality nor color.

[LucifersTear]

You needn't bother, i know what peoples cultures are and are about, but irrespective of any of this tangent THIS VIDEO IS EASILY PERCIEVED AS A RACIALIST STATEMENT. "Racism - Where people of one race are percieved as and treated as if inherently different to those of another race." The "vandals" we're ALL white, the only person not vandalising was a single black woman. That IS racism.

[angelicpink]

Student really so u pick up a book & now u know everything about life and race? U sound as if u never associated nor lived around various cultures by ur narrow minded statements. But like u said I dont know u but u do tend to jump the gun.

[angelicpink]

Which is y I judge u from ur statements. How do u figure that im one race & I assume u think im Black. And as far as education ive already graduated & hold 2 degrees:) Im glad ur in school babe but I feel that life teaches us the best lessons & u have alot to learn. Ive traveled all over since I was 10 therefore ethnicity, race, or nationality cant always be defined by fashion or the way someone acts.

[angelicpink]

The best thing about America (although we have our problems too God knows) u get to see cultures and races mix & styles are judged by popular culture not race or ethnicity. Ex. hip hop, rock, country, goth, skater, punk etc.Not to say race never plays a part (that wouldnt be true at all) however I dont think she was making a statement about race & I feel that its so easy 4 people to point out race when if we think deeper, the message may be very different.

[angelicpink]

The idea of the police & the fighting then the 2 lovers show a contrast. I see war yet the kissing scene shows peace or an alternative look on life.

[angelicpink]

While so many of us disagree (like u & I) on views & way of life when there r other things more important like love, peace, or respect. After the kissing the war also ended & sonique was able to pass by the cops.

[angelicpink]

To end this I will say I feel that she did an excellent job with her song & her video & her idea maybe as simple as to have people like u & I THINK & debate on our views or whatever. Just as her video I will end this war with peace & compromise & however u percieve her video it has caused more of an discussion than most!

[LucifersTear]

Agreed if a video sparks a disgussion then that canot be bad for the song. You live in america and i like in the "Black country" the most ethnically diverse shire in the UK i understand and see differnt cultures and stuff and i say it as it is presented to me. Fact is it's still impossible to deny the possible hidden racialist sentiment with empathy... i like the song and video just wish it wasn't presenting whites as thugs and sonique as omnipotent.

[entiRety1]

LucifersTear, at 1:16 I see a black hand throwing a zap into the air. One of the vandals is black, proving your argument pointless.

[LucifersTear]

How does that prove anything pointless?

All that proves is you watched the whole thing purposely to see a black person, a person so unnoticeable i didn't even see their single hand.

And you clearly don't understand my point. It's not an argument it's a point because you can't argue with it if the races in this video were reversed it woul dNEVER be aired...FACT

[entiRety1]

It seems that you have all the facts, I can't argue with that.

[angelicpink]

In fact in america many whites & other races can be seen wearing baseball or basketball jerseys. In fact ive seen people all over the world wear bandanas over their face to protect themselves from debris maybe while involved in something that may harm them (fighting, working whatever). & read my comment again I didnt call u a racist I was saying race or nationality didnt play a part. Again u revert backwards to race.

[TranceDevotee]

"High Energy" are you joking?! Listen to her earlier songs for high energy! This song is putrid crap!
