Review of the New [Official] Music Videos of Elton John's "Rocket Man," "Tiny Dancer," and "Bennie and the Jets."

Last night I saw on Elton John's Instagram that he had released these music videos, so I've decided to review them today. Here are my thoughts:

Rocket Man

This is a very nicely done video. They did a nice job depicting the loneliness that an astronaut experiences, while at the same time experiencing sites like no other. I really think the video corresponds with the music, like how right at 1:12 when he says Rocket Man, the character goes from an average man to an astronaut floating in space. This song is one of my favorites. The plot of this video really does fit the song!

Tiny Dancer

I really don't understand the plot of this video. It is just a bunch of people driving around in cars with this song playing they dance at some parts, but a majority of the video is just people driving. When I hear this song, I think of a shy (inexperienced), but passionate guy, and how he feels for a girl. She doesn't even have to be a dancer, he is comparing her to something beautiful and unique. I was quite disappointed with this video. This song can touch so many people just by making them think of their first love, and the best they could come up with was people driving in cars. That works with just about any song, like this one. For better or for worst, it is still a beautiful ballad!

Bennie and the Jets

I really have never understood what this song is about. To top it all off, I have no idea why the video is what ti is. A bunch of dancers dressed in weird clothing, moving in very weird ways, and one of the women wasn't wearing a shirt. This song really isn't my style, but I really don't see how the video and the music fit together. They're both weird, but I read the lyrics, and it would appear that it's about a gang with their leader Bennie who's famous and has electric boots. I didn't really like this video either. It reminds me a lot of Lady Gaga videos.

Thanks for reading this! I saw these videos, and decided it would be a good idea to review them. I should have Wagner out later today, but I procrastinated too much yesterday. Anyway, make sure to leave feedback and check back later!
