Music Videos Killed My Beauty Sleep.

I have been spending so many sleepless nights watching music videos on Yahoo! Launch.
Music videos play a big part in making the music work to me. Some songs are just, not much of a humdinger without these excellent videos enhancing them. In other instances, if the band just can’t sing or make music, all they need are a few drop dead gorgeous members for silly little teenage girls or slobbery men to swoon at them. With these eye candies, anything would be music to the ears, or perhaps these people are deafened by beauty.

Music videos also gives FSV graduates like me dreams. I never knew what I wanted to do after my O'levels. Then one day when I was watching Joe Hahn from Linkin Park doing his stuff on the turntable, I thought, "I wanna be just like him!" Then suddenly, the song titles came on, with the band name, composer and director of the video's name displayed below it. WhenI saw the name Joe Hahn, I thought, "That could be my name! I just have to have dreams and work my way to it!"

So back to staying up with Music Videos as my drug, I started wondering, who was the genius who thought, “Oh, what if I put the music on a video, so people can listen to music and watch their favourite artists at the same time?” I’d like to find out more about this person. It would be interesting to know what drove this person to do such a thing. Who was the first artist to have a music video and what was the video about, how it differs from the music videos we have today?

My, won’t this be a fun thing to research about.
