just think there's no need to make a video of the 2 of you naked in bed to sell a single!

(and i am not normally a prude!)

I agree, it's a very dull video. I kept watching thinking maybe Heidi is going to start singing too!

ScaredOfCows · 30/09/2010 08:07

I think it's quite sweet actually. No worse than the glut of music vidoes full of virtually naked people cavorting with virtually naked strangers?? And she is a model, so probably saved him money on model fees Grin.

Rindercella · 30/09/2010 08:12

Waaaaayyy too much imo.

supergreenuk · 30/09/2010 08:16

I am a HUGE fan of Seal. Didn't like the video and I didn't like the song.

Did you see that bit when he is singing really close to her face and she thinks 'omg your breath stinks' and turns her head. LOL. Haven't we all done that. Oh and what is it with the nail varnish Seal. NO no no.

Ceebee74 · 30/09/2010 08:17

Aw I think it is quite sweet too - you can tell the chemistry between them.

Just imagine though how Blush their children will be in a few years - no-one wants to see their parents like that do they?? Grin

Rindercella · 30/09/2010 08:19

supergreen - at that point I did think, I bet he has bad breath! Grin

Also wondered about the nail varnish.

I also usually love Seal's stuff, but tbh this has put me right off and I only watched about 1.30 min of the video.

MmeLindt · 30/09/2010 08:25

I think it is quite sweet. It is not humping and grinding. They are, as Heidi would say, "Schmüsen".

BunnyLebowski · 30/09/2010 08:30

It's a cruddy song but the video is very sweet imo. 2 gorgeous people who are clearly madly in love. It's not gratuitous - you don't see anything dodgy!

Much better than the usual booty popping skanks you see in most music videos.

Ceebee74 · 30/09/2010 09:03

Just thinking, does it feel 'wrong' because we know they are a couple?

If it was Seal with a random pretty model-type woman, then you wouldn't think twice about would you? It would be just Seal acting in a video.

Bonsoir · 30/09/2010 09:06

Exhibitionism

BessieBoots · 30/09/2010 09:16

It would be far sweeter if they were clothed IMO.

nancydrewrocked · 30/09/2010 09:21

Dull.

But I like the fact that she is his wife as opposed to using some random model which is the norm.

SuperLapin · 30/09/2010 09:25

Have you seen the size of that rock on her finger though?

I quite like the song.

brimfull · 30/09/2010 09:27

couldn't be arsed to watch until the end
yawn

QuintessentialShadows · 30/09/2010 09:34

It was beautiful.

It made me think, the video is made in such a way as to accentuate their obvious difference, in regards to texture and colour.

WhatsWrongWithYou · 30/09/2010 09:37

I noticed the rock too. And she looks divine. What i'd do to look like that.

I found it all a bit ott but also strangely moving. I did kind of feel I'd rather not be seeing their 'special moment,' but as others have said, at least the lyrics aren't of the 'I love you when you're on your knees' style (I actually heard this on R1 yesterday), and she looks like a normal (albeit stunningly beautiful) woman

Wordsonascreen · 30/09/2010 09:39

I thought it was sweet .

Must admit the song leaves me a bit cold though.

MmeLindt · 30/09/2010 09:44

Yes, Quint. I thought it was powerful, the strong contrast between their skin colours.

And yes, that is some rock.

devilsadvocaat · 30/09/2010 09:52

i found it compelling viewing although cringey.
googling on from that, didn't realise he had a skin condition, was told he had his face cut in some tribal thingy.

Lizzylou · 30/09/2010 09:55

I thought the video was beautiful, awfully boring song though.
They look very relaxed and in love and quite amazing together.

Far classier than some scraggy nobody bumping and grinding into the camera or the gratuitous crotch shots.

That rock is fabulous Envy

DinahRod · 30/09/2010 09:58

My Dad's friend signed him for his first album. Have always thought Seal must be pretty cool, he & Heidi got together shortly after she announced her pg and end of her previous relationship.

canella · 30/09/2010 10:31

I thought the lighting etc made a great contrast with their skin colours but just thought they didnt need to be so naked to sell a single!!! It could have been more subtley done by showing a lot less!! I dont need to see her arse or him holding her naked breasts (even if she does look sickenly gorgeous after 4 kids!!)
I agree with Ceebee74-no one needs to see their parents doing that!!

Ps i'm normally a heidi klum fan-think she comes across as surprisingly down to earth and funny but not a fan of seeing her and her husband in bed naked!

SixtyFootDoll · 02/10/2010 14:19

the song is about her so why not put her in the video, there are few people more beautiful.

Boring song and video though.

Parrotcake · 06/10/2010 12:09

if you watch the video carefully you can see her nipple in one scene
