What do I love about this video?


This is one of the greatest narrative's for a music video i have seen yet.  The director has essentially made a short film and has made Brown look very flashy.   According to Brown, the chorus ("It's alright/I'm not dangerous/If you're mine, I'll be generous/You're irreplaceable/A collectible, just like fine china") is about "how delicate, priceless and beautiful a girl can be.

As with most music videos, we have CUs of the face of the lead singer, again creating a sort of relationship between the viewer and the band.  To stop this video from becoming boring, the director has chosen to use a lot of shots that zoom in or out, thus keeping the action still rolling, despite the shots being relatively long.
