The Cheryl Cole 'Fight For This Love' video

...is a confusing accompaniment to a quite excellent song. It is confusing because it seems to be the video for a different song entirely but is actually a video for this song. It's all laid back and stylish and fitting with the tone of the track and then there are IN YOUR FACE DANCE MOVES for NO REASON and then it ENDS. Lets break this down:

Things that work:
1 - Cheryl posing against walls
2 - Cheryl posing against shapes
3 - Cheryl posing against green screen effects

Things that do not work:
1 - Everything else



Still, a pretty damn strong first outing for C-Co. The video is growing on us and the song is obviously still AMAZING. Out Oct 19 on Fascination in the UK

The choreography in the group dance shots is bizarre, and the camera angles sure don't help matters.

It totally doesn't fit with the song does it?? It's like they were thinking 'what can we film now that will look REALLY GOOD when we recut the footage for the hardcore club remix video?' She also looks a bit more awkward than I expected, after all those Girls Aloud videos. But I think she's got the chops to be pretty great. This song has really grown on me too...
