I kept seeing posts on facebook and comments on youtube about the screaming at the girl's ass scene. The one you posted is actually a decent video, with only a bit of weirndness, hence the lack of success. |
Sure, but the Right Now video is similar in a lot of ways so I'm surprised at the huuge discrepancy in view count. Like, if GS got so popular and hit that nerve of popular culture just right, I'd have expected Right Now to do a little better than it did, because it's so similar. But tastes and circumstances change and people are unpredictable, so I get it.
