Perhaps the most romantic music video ever made

"The End of the World" by Matt Alber. Beautifully shot and sung. And that kiss!

Good Uses For Beautiful People

Many music videos employ models, but they are usually little less than eye candy.  Here are two that unashamedly use beautiful people, but elevate their use to something greater than the sum of pretty parts.

The first is the brilliant, sex-positive "All The Lovers" by Kylie Minogue.  She is the goddess Aphrodite (the name of her album) who causes all the beautiful people to shed their clothes and engage in rampant lovemaking.  The climax (no pun intended) is amazing, and from start to finish the cinematography is top notch.



The second is an oldie, George Michael's "Freedom 90".  By employing notable models of the day, he makes an interesting comment on his own fame (and regrets).  It was one of the first music videos to have people other than the singer lip-sync the words, and where the artist does not even appear.  This was quite revolutionary in the late 80's/early 90's.  The jukebox, jacket, and other props are echoes of his "Faith" period, all of which are destroyed so that he can move forward, older and wiser, into his "Listen Without Prejudice" period.
