Thoughts: Laura Bell Bundy's "Giddy On Up" Music Video — Page 2

The video is about a prostitute they gets cheated on? Ironic.

i don't think that if a record label signs you then that means you have talent.
Let's get real here for a second.

lol, Shane Drake.

it's an ok song and the video really doesn't have an authentic country feel to it. it's more like a performance. (Does that make sense?!)

It does make sense. The video's director works with scenester pop rock bands, and won the VMA for Panic! at the Disco's I Write Sins Not Tragedies, and a lot of his work after that has cribbed on that same camp performance in a dusty dilapidated setting aesthetic.

Oh god, Laura Bell Bundy is my favorite "love to hate" Broadway performer. I hate country music, and consequently I find her country music incredibly entertaining. Not enough to listen to it, but enough to watch it a few times and LOL. I love the campy over the top brassiness, because modern country music tries too hard to be classy and well put together and I'm just not having it. Country stars should be a little bit more like Laura Bell. Hot mess.

I'll defend her. I really respect Laura Bell Bundy's talent. There's no denying that she's got it. To go out (and be able to branch out), make a record after Broadway , do something attached to her roots in country, is a great step for her. I would think this Board would be more proud or supportive of an actor who gets to do something like this. She looks fantastic in the video and the campiness of it is a pretty good ode and play with the style. It fits her, I think. I also believe Laura is a performer who delivers in a time of too many reality "stars" who are so untalented and waste my time. For the entertainment value of what it is, it's a cute video, and I hope she has a successful tour with the album.

You don't know me and it's ignorant to make such wild assumptions about a person that you will never meet.

I think the real reason most of you don't "like" the song is because of stupid Broadway gossip and you're ashamed to like something done by the "rival" of your precious Sutton Foster.

NOW who's making assumptions about people she's never met?

I think the real reason most of you don't "like" the song is because of stupid Broadway gossip and you're ashamed to like something done by the "rival" of your precious Sutton Foster.

GET THE F*CK OVER IT.

Laura has talent and potential. If two successful record labels didn't think that she had talent, do you think we'd be discussing this?

Talent has nothing whatsoever to do with gossip.

Are you huffing paint thinner?

LOL.
If there's one thing I love it's Broadway World LBB drama. Let's relax a bit, shall we?

Just to start, I am in no way a crazy Laura Bell Bundy fan. She was cute and charismatic in Legally Blonde, and she's breaking out into the Country scene. Good for her. Some of you are still bitter about the Sutton thing, and hey, that sucks, and if the rumors are true, damn, what a dick move. But come ON, guys, this is really the worst song you've ever heard?

I think it's catchy, it's fun, it's a bit pop-ish - it'll sell!

And for those of you saying it "doesn't compare to true Country music"...I really don't see any other new country starlettes doing it justice either (Jesus Take the Wheel"? Uhhhh... You Belong With Me?" Barf in my mouth, please.)

There's no need to be freaking out over this. It's a song, move on.
