The Ghost of Vanity Projects Past

For those of you who still recall the almost-but-not-quite-finished [livejournal.com profile] 100videos project (both of you), over on Facebook I've started a reboot of the "greatest music videos of all time countdown" conceit, this time with a fully updated list of 125 videos instead of a measly 100 to make it truly Bigger Than Ever. And since FB's idea of a friends' feed is a festering and sad collection of donkey doots, to make it easier to find I'm mirroring the project on Tumblr over at The 125 Music Videos Project. Enjoy, and thank you for your indulgent attention. *bows*

Awesome! I'll check them out on study breaks. I sincerely hope MJ's "Black Or White" made it onto the list, or at least one of his others.

Thanks muchly! Hope you like. And no, no "Black or White," sadly, but there are a few other MJ clips futher up the list. (Foreshadowing!)

I just thought "Black Or White" was so very cool because of the new software designed for it - the stuff at the end, you know?

Oh, absolutely, the morphing blew me away, and still does. The rest of the video doesn't quite hold up as well, but that section was enough to put it in the running. (Have you ever seen the last two minutes that the studio cut out after people complained? It's interesting in its own right.)

Only when it was first broadcast, but it made a heck of an impression. Damage and big cats! And somehow I remember it being a lot longer than two minutes.

The faces bit at the end sure seemed longer, I agree!

Yes! I'm one of the two!

Valtari was awesome! But I'd call it a dance video more than a music video... that was some seriously professional dancing.
