Sam Smith's New Music Video

[Oioicaptain]

There's been criticism in the press over the sexualisation/borderline pornography on the video. I've just watched it. It just seems pretty misogynistic to me. He appears to smash a wine glass onto a woman's head and then it looks as though the women are being urinated upon (although it's not clear ...maybe it was meant to be champagne). What are other people's interpretation/views on it. I may well be mistaken.

It's not revolutionary to wear nipple tassels. Nor is it radical to look like a bin liner of yoghurt.

Self awareness is sexy, selfishness is not.

He's irritating as fuck and just does this sort of stuff for attention. Good or bad.

@NotAnotherBathBomb ·''Just faux concern.''

That is your reading of what is said and it happens to be inaccurate. Faux outrage...

I think I just got a bit of vomit in my mouth 🤮

Finally watched a bit of it.

They've put an awfully lot of effort in to disguise what is an incredibly vapid song.

Also I don't care if I'm flamed for it. You might want to have a spray tan Sam love, if you go down the silver and white costume route again, It washes your man boobs out at the moment.

You know the stylists were doing 'you do you qween!' to his face and muttering about porridge in a zip-loc bag behind his back.

Can't stand him. Won't be watching. Looks ridiculous. Trying so hard to stay relevant.

But we aren't allowed to comment how revolting THEY look.

I don't like him!

A few years ago, he fat shamed someone on social media, laughing and being dame right rude about the lady. He soon took it down when everyone said it was nasty.

I have no time for him or his music since.

Could someone with teenage children sit down with them and put the video on? I really want to hear how they react. Unless teenagers have changed entirely in the last couple of decades it must surely be cringing in horror?

I would have my messaged deleted if I put what my teenage lad would say. I woul agree with him.

@DesertIslandCondiment to be fair you can't really be bitchy about anything any more.

I work in a phenomenally bitchy industry and the things I used to be able to say would get me fired now.

Joan Rivers wouldn't last five minutes these days.

I haven't watched it and don't intend to

If anyone here follows Nohun on Instagram his critique of it is worth watching "not all queers are like this Sam, it's all about you"

Facts and truth have been renamed bitchy, unfortunately.

Stating that someone is morbidly obese is a fact.

I don't much like Sam either, when Sam declared Sam Smith's self wants to be a mummy at age 35 that really put me off Sam Smith.

😂😂😂

Sam Smith looks like someone who was plucked out of the queue in B & M, put in a posing pouch, and told to look seductive. It's a no from me.

Can anyone repost the naked rat picture please? Am still giggling about it

Nohun is brilliant. Great video .

Quite.

I used to like Sam Smith.

This. And @JusteanBiscuits if you look closely (actually, don't), you'll see that the 'machines' are actually urinals!! Still not clear that it's urine?!

I think boys especially would be able to tell that the 'streams' are meant to look like urine 🤢

They are making money out of this rubbish. Who are actually supporting them?

Surely 'pop' music is more for children/teens than adults?! Didn't we all religiously watch TOTP on a Thursday/Friday night as kids? I don't know half of what's 'in' nowadays, I usually listen to Absolute Radio 90s 🤣

I agree that children are going to see this. And honestly, I can't say I see the benefit of it artistically either.

On the point that Sam has clearly regained his original weight loss - just to say first that I have not lost the baby weight, and am bmi 30 - pretty much every woman in that video is thin. I also believe in, as a bmi 30 woman, dressing for your weight, and that white number is pretty frightening at any weight. Add the beard and fashion-wise, it's not working for me.

Then there are questions around the CONSTANT cross dressing of these stars. Why? What does it achieve? Years ago a man might have dressed as a woman. He put the clothes on and went about his business. End. This video is clearly trying to provoke, and since most of his audience are women from children upwards, I'm not sure what his goal is. If his goal, let's say, is to make himself feel more "comfortable", why push it in such a, for want of a better word, disgusting way? Children view his work. He ought to keep his private life and his work separate to some degree - the rest of us have to.

Final point, didn't Sam claim, in stay with me, that he was "just a man"?
