Marina and the Diamonds - "I AM NOT A PRINCESS" Music Video

[Scribz0rz]

I really cannot stop watching this, just wow...

[Whatif666]

this was so delightful to watch

[TaurusChick12]

Is there anywhere I could download this mix?

[DrowntheMachine]

Take that Disney!

[sundariindra]

I tear up every time I see this, aaarg.

[cookiedog95]

Absolutely beautiful! I can't stop watching :) 

[abbehjayislove]

this is AMAZING. I just can't stop watching.

[josiedakota]

i find myself watching this over and over again.

[ScreamOnScreen]

I hope Marina has seen this! That was fantastic!

[PopePea]

Didn't notice Lady Gaga at 08.15 the first time round

[fountainofvim]

Bought the Marina CD a month after first seeing this video. Dear ACTA or OPEN or whatever iteration the US is on by now, this purchase would never have happened if music wasn't made available for public sampling.

[Hoshitori]

And I love love love the green fairy! She appears as a that little voice everyone hears that asks, "Is this what I really want?" Her actress looks so sad to see the girls in their states, and then so overjoyed then they start thinking for themselves. It was a lovely video! Brilliant!

[Hoshitori]

Every time! Every time I sit down to get some work done and I put this on as background music, I end up watching the video over and over and I never get a word written. I love the take on the princesses: Sleeping Beauty and her Prince decide just to have fun, Beauty seems to stand up against Beast and earn some respect, Little Mermaid doesn't change a thing about herself for her prince, Cinderella dumps her shallow and self-loving prince, and Snow White gets over materialism. Bravo!

[ZeeCheeBee]

I would have totally shelled out ten.. wait no... twenty bucks at the local movie theater to see this... and this is coming from someone who doesn't go to the movies unless its something big like the midnight release of Harry Potter~

It moved me that much! Im speachless and in awe.

I feel like I got my moneys worth and I didn't even pay! D:

The director and everyone who took part in this wonderful project seriously need a giant tip jar!

Much <3 to you

[markalanoffcial]

Better than any gaga video HONESTLY Even tho Marina isnt in it,, The dancers arent running around in there Underwear and Sexually Fucking girls to get views, its simple and A reallllly good remix lol and im a Straight dude... Marina and the diamonds ARE brilliant no lie

[richlid]

Absolutely brilliant .....

[Grahaminlove]

Can I just sit here and listen to this forever <3 I adore this. Everything is just brilliant.

[Maricar624715]

OMG this is amazing, I'm gonna refer this to all my friends. Amazing!!

[linettefj]

[thejoergenrasmussen]

How come this isn't the most viewed video on Youtube? Amazing! This makes my day!

[Yohirotohsaka]

& lovely editing @.@

[CeliaCrofty]

I WANT MARINA IN MY BED. NOW.

[EmSaidWhaaat]

I love the part where the fairy sings: "Are you satisfied with an average life?"

Makes me say: "Hell no! XD I'm not!"

It's very inspiring :P

[MermaidJassica]

thats awesome!!

[flydncer22]

I JUST noticed that even the freaking light bulbs flash in time to the music!

[capnoliverharkness]

This is brilliant. Oh. My god.

[SuperSaccharinySweet]

t.h.i.s .i.s. AMAZING TO THE THIRD POWER!! 

[bickly777]

this is amazing. i love how you cant see the dislike bar.

[juggler71]

This is seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It's inspiring, in a way.

[EmSaidWhaaat]

@juggler71 I know right!? Strange, but I feel like changing my life everytime she says: "I just wanna change, I just wanna change, I just wanna change, I know exactly what I wanna do, what I wanna be!" :D Inspiring :P

[drieazu]

I wish there was a behind the scenes video!

[TurquioseVampire]

Cinderellas acting really was amazing i could feel the pain she was in!

[moodygirl711]

I wonder how long it took to make this

[rinukon]

Anyone else think Cinderella looks like Lady Gaga?

[tehlime]

Gorgeous, absolutely amazing video. I love everything about this!

[Kisskiss019]

I dont think Marina did this I might be wrong but I think they only took the song also I just might be stating somthing evey one eles knows so sorry XD

[MsJoyska]

i want the lyric, anyone knows where to find it?

[sdburr08]

@MsJoyska

they are many different songs from marina and the diamonds.

including

"on no"

"satisfied"

"shampain"

etc.

[iheartwebkinz1]

OMG I knew it was you! ur the one that made the boys boys boys thing

[Pipsky12]

this is amazing!

[imyumi]

THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS

[Grahaminlove]

Absolutely jaw-droppingly amazing

[KyraShangea]

Everything about this is inspiring and beautiful.

[TheKickasskatie]

loved this video till the girls started dancing :/ seemed like a weird left turn...

[Telephunk45]

The Cinderella one has the most perfect teeth I've ever seen in my life.

[MoeWoW0]

i' usually into mainstream but i must say this one got me..

[itsthepopeful]

Not a fan of this video..

[ambitioncutsusdownn]

This is perfect.

[coolcara501]

I dont get why people dont see the link between the music and the video

[liotie]

This video is very beautiful, actor do a great job (they commit at 110%) costumes are very nice, the dance is awesome. BUT one thing I dont get is why did he choose marina for this video. Dont get me wrong I love marina but there is no link between princess and Marina. I think that the director love Marina but he need to keep in mind the style of Marina instead of going crazy and do whatever he want.So beautiful but kind of empty.The music and the video just doesnt match.

[AzureFalls64]

Ridiculously well produced and directed, and HNNNNG at all those costumes and make-up effects. Great song and video.

[StaceyJohle]

Totally awesome music video, but is anyone else creeped out my the young Alice's silent laughter?

[sundariindra]

Beautiful and inspiring. I wish there had been things like this around when I was growing up.

[Crakatoaz]

This is amazing!

[signedjulia]

a friend showed this to me who shares my love for Marina and the Diamonds... i was confused as I thought it was an official release of a remix... AMAZING JOB. and I love how you casted REAL women and portrayed women as more than just eye candy.

[chica044]

Some of the most amazing music videos I've ever seen are unofficial creations of some incredibly talented people. And this is one of best music videos Ive ever seen. Amazing *STANDING O!"

[peachyeyes]

i adore the whole 'beauty and the beast' parts. shes a fab actress!

[TheFakeXs]

This really deserves a kind of oscar.

[Jeshikun]

I really love this music video, it's inspiring. But the only part I haven't figured out is what exactly is going on with the Snow White portions. I mean, there doesn't really seem to be any difference between the start and the end. Maybe it's just because she's smiling all the time? So she doesn't eat the apple, and?

[kunoichi159]

@Jeshikun The way that I interpreted it is that, in the version of Snow White that we're all so familiar with, she's rather naive, and that's why she falls victim to the trick of the poisoned apple so easily. So, basically, it's showing the opposite of that. She's smarter than the typical version of Snow White, and, instead, she has the queen attacked and shows her that she's not just some silly child who will fall prey to such things so easily. Again, that's what I think, personally.

[koroso31105]

I'm watching this for the third time just because I can. Best music video I have ever seen - it's a proper, beautifully told story that fits in wonderfully with the music. I also love the new twists at the end of the princess stories. Proper creative genius! *goes to watch it again*

[WhatsHerFaceAJ]

I honestly thought this was professional! Woah! Well done!

[Acqua1313]

NEEDS MORE VIEWS!!!

[sophijean100]

this is actually the best music video i have ever seen- and it is unofficial, seriously the director of this is literally a genius, and incredibly talented.

[DaemonInWhite]

Usually with music videos. I get bored after a little while, pause them and then come back in five, ten minutes to watch the rest. I have an extremely short attention span, even for videos that are, like, forty seconds. Yet I could not look away from this video at any point. It is FANTASTIC. It completely draws the viewer in to the story being presented. I was so gob smacked when I realised that that this amazing video wasn't official. I can't imagine the time and effort that went into this.

[LoonInMyAttic]

This is my first time listening to Marina and the Diamonds. I can openly say I am a princess. Just like the characters in the video. I'm no less a princess because I "know what I want and who I want to be". I love this video. Princess aren't weak as most interpret them to be. I'm here, aren't I?

What's more, I'm impressed not only by what's happening in the video, but also the girls. They aren't the "perfect" skinny everyone shows us. They're of different races. This is perfect.

[SignsOnTheWalls]

This turned up yesterday on my Tumblr and I CANNOT STOP WATCHING IT and sharing it with everyone I know who gets online. This is absolutely stunning, and I cannot believe it was made independent of the original artist. The message, the costumes, the choreography, the diversity... everything is perfect. Just... perfect. This is now my favorite music video ever.

[lyflorida]

Beautiful.



[Rahhalcopter]

I can't stop watching this. The music, dancing, costuming, cinematography, story, and message are all flawless.

[chibunni]

This is seriously stunning. Oh my god. I cant believe my eyes.

[NingenDemonai]

This is made of awesome and perfection. Sassy ladies knowing what they want and getting their happily ever afters. Loved it!

[AgreenLittlePeople]

Love this video and the mix of the songs!

[bmy8459]

This is so cool! It's whimsical, beautiful, adorable... just perfect. Every time i watch this I'm transported to this whole other world! And the dance is so awesome! It's funky and sexy, not trashy and skanky like so many of the dances you see today

[xmysinsx]

the merman. <3

[kchall016]

sara vongillern <3

[paramorenutzuk]

I watched this when you first put it on here, still love it after the 500th time of watching! Awesome!!

[fernthejamlover]

you're also not a robot Marina

[lightupmyroom]

This is one of the most fantastic things I've seen in a long time. You are my hero!

[Marciilein]

So beautiful, I love it!

[Tullefifi]

It makes me glad :-)

[Tullefifi]

Lovely, adorable! ♥.

[LyfeMoments]

You all have done such an amazing job on this project that it is unbelievable! This work is a masterpiece! The actresses, the dancing, the setting and the music put together is remarkable! Im sure you all have made Marina proud ;)

[Kjffred]

This gives me chills every time I watch it!

[panzerveps]

This was damn awesome!

[applespice01]

I saw the dance version first... but this is so cool!

[txcxsx]

[BrianL8]

[fashiongogetter]

[owmyscar]

[ImmyPimmyxx]

0:23!!!

[khsiaoj]

this is so fantastic, i can't stop watching it. everything about it is absolutely perfect

[taddot]

so awesome!

[decadentmaya]

IS ANYONE ELSE AS CURIOUS AS I AM TO FIND OUT WHO THE DIRECTOR IS? This is one of the most creative, honest and poignant videos I have EVER seen and my jaw dropped when I discovered it was unofficial! That means ELY must have decided to produce this incredibly expensive film solely on inspiration for no personal gain. Is she directing huge artists' videos yet? Because she should be!

Also, huge thumbs up for casting talented, beautiful women of different RACES and SIZES. You have a new fan!

[Uranya7x]

@decadentmaya Dear friend, ELY, aka Eugene Lee Yang is one of the greatest Artist I have never seen before!

I've discovered this wonderful :) video one year ago, and I still cry every time I watch it, because this is a Masterpiece! You can found other materials about HIM, (search "Art of Fame", here no link can be published) and I say: "ThankYou ProfEugenius!"

[decadentmaya]

@Uranya7x Thank you for the information! I feel a little silly assuming ELY was a she, it's just that this concept has such strong representations of modern women!

His YouTube profile says he goes to USC, so perhaps he is/was a film student? I should probably stop being creepy and appreciate how anonymous he chooses to be! Must really love his art. If I was him I'd throw my name out and brag about this to as many people as possible. :)

[xXmakingwishesXx]

I love the nervous prince with sleeping beauty, and then the pillow fight, it's brilliant!!!!

[GirlWithKnees]

I can't get enough of it! This is the video that first introduced me to Marina a year ago. Kudos to the director of this unofficial video, to the choreographers, the set and costume designers, make up artists, the dancers / actors and of course to the lovely Marina herself. I wish that this was an official video for the sake of all those who worked on it! Best of luck with you and your careers!

[Tupalovski]

Well, I have to admit that Marina is the one and only artist whom songs are all great. Even Gaga has some songs that are not so good, but Marina, she's different. Also, I have to say I love that the dancers in the video aren't just anorectic models. These ones look so much prettier ^_____^

[christinaxdear]

There really aren't words for how amazing this is. I just watched this three times in row! I love everything about it - cinematography, editing, and visual design especially... Yeah, who am I kidding? I'm watching it again now...

[hawaiigirl358]

see, im glad im not the only one that thought they shouldn't have been prissy princess-types, and just let their hair down! :3

[bickly777]

Full screen, 1080p, and make popcorn while it buffers. then sit back, relax, and enjoy.

[TheMilkyWaysOfficial]

That Asian girl in purple dress - what tale is she from? I didn't recognize it.

[sivtastic]

@TheMilkyWaysOfficial she's beauty from beauty and the beast

[TheCurlieTop]

what is the name of the first song??

[sivtastic]

@TheCurlieTop the first song is 'the outsiders', if i'm not mistaken....

[IsaacElleDot]

this is a real work of art :)

[fonziegee]

The most amazing thing of all is that you did all this to the music of the debut album of an indipendent artist!

[princekyrk]

Amazeballs

[Tom7Burton]

Its like a Dream, you have no idea whats happening but it makes sense at the same time.

[ColumineMiette]

the blonde/snow white girl is GORGEOUS :O

[funkeymonkey831]

00:21 PAEDOPHILE!

[tomo96ae]

Thumbs up if Marina brought you here from her favorite YouTube videos!

[tomo96ae]

Thumbs up if Marina brought you here from her favorite YouTube videos!

[BeautifullyAbstract]

For some odd reason I just adore the moment at 1:19 when she say mouths "You're in the wrong place" Its just fantastic!

[WazupWithHer]

What's the song played at the beginning?



[hahahanis]

@WazupWithHer Its Outsider :)

[amcintyre95]

keep pressing 2 ahaah

[geniousboyGR]

congratulations! A marvellous work!

[strangelittlebeing]

I wish I could hundred thumbs up this, what a phenomenal work of art.

Marina has seen this right? It must have made her so unbelievably happy ^_^

[tukkeman]

like a official MV

[catsblood15]

creepy rabbit! O.O

[butabara1234]

Love love LOVE! <3 The creative joy is just pouring out of the entire video! (And I'm quite possibly a bit lesbian for the amazing dancers. People having untroubled fun with big sparks of confidence are just the sexiest ever~!)

[lalypop94]

love it ♥

[TheCrimson20]

omg this is sooo good!

[TheCrimson20]

marina is not indie she is a greek person so yeah:P

[Acqua1313]

@TheCrimson20 lol. Indie pop is the genre of music she creates. lol. It's not her nationality. Besides she's British anyhow.

[TheCrimson20]

@Acqua1313 oh ok but she is half greek and half english born from a greek dad

[Acqua1313]

@TheCrimson20 Yeah. I know. :)

[EleanorIsAVictim]

@TheCrimson20 She's actually half Greek, half Welsh

[xxsweetxsacrificexx]

Absolutely amazing!

[EncantoM]

seriously, this is amazing....

[eiffelx1822]

Imogen heap?

[Acqua1313]

@eiffelx1822 no holmes. Marina & the Diamonds. She is British tho.

[the3eme4]

Amazing ...

[xSniperSky]

Hey!!! Someone stole your video! /watch?v=tzaiJO9t9cM Please tell the person to remove the video please!!! ):

[1kirstenmarie]

sehr "schön" zusammengefügt! und interpretation des stücks und marinas intentionen nett

..

[peppermint23]

this is INSANE. must have taken forever!

[nakkipop]

this was definitely worth watching. so good!

[corinabio]

This is great!!! I think you fulfilled your dream, I absolutelly loved your video!

[karmineanimegirl]

Whoa! Very impressive!

[Guilhermaciel]

Amazing \o/

[zoyarc]

the song is actually called the outsider jsyk

[Tuffpup29]

WOW was brought here by a video where Marina here self mentions it and have to say I think it is amazing and as she says it's epic!

[BaeMx3]

@Tuffpup29 could you send me the link to this video? can't find it, and I wanna say what she's saying :)

[sallydreams]

OMG! I don't even have words for how epic, beautiful and very well produced this was!! Please tell me Marina knows about this! She would love this! This is soooo great!

[MusicSuggestion]

Will you make one for Electra Heart? :)

she already realeased two songs from it, you guys should listen to them... very different from the marina I like... much more generic...

but you guys might like :)

[kristinaBOMB]

This is pretty much the most incredible video I've ever watched, and the mash up of songs is brilliant. J'adore would be putting it lightly :)

[KellyanneWynd77]

Love this video! Although I didn't get the Beauty and the Beast ref until I read the credits, I thought it was Persephone and Hades and her eating as a screw you to him, I'm gonna choose to stay and be queen kind of thing.

[liebsethable]

who is the dancer with the short blond hair? she is awesome!

[AdaraLikesMercedes]

isnt this song 'the outsider' ?

[kristinaBOMB]

@AdaraLikesMercedes No, it's a combination of all the songs from the album (The Family Jewels). It says so in both the credits and her author comments

[AdaraLikesMercedes]

@kristinaBOMB okay thanks :)

[catsrockthehouse1]

I WANT THAT SNOW WHITE OUTFIT!!!!

its sooo cute!!

[marinaloveee614]

like if your name is MARINA (:

[nechcemaprihlasit]

great performance!!!! love marinas music

[libertycpi]

Love Marina and the Diamonds!! I like how she got Gary Glitter involved in her video, she dressed him as a rabbit ;)

[kandrasildar]

Great video

It's fun figuring out what fairytales they used.

[AlexDoom]

Karen Song <3 ^_^

[HottienTottien]

Oh and btw., was I the only one with goosebumps? (;

[HottienTottien]

Magnificent and impressing! I love all the details - it's so thorough. I feel like I'm a part of this magic and beautiful universe that you've created from the very first second. Marina's music is expressed so beautifully. I can watch this over and over again because it makes me so happy. I'm always left with a feeling of wanting to actually BE in this video. It must have been so much fun. Lots of thumbs up to you for your hard work.
