Now that Real Love is gaining some traction, do you think there will be a video for MTV and VH1 to play? It would be strange to see Kat and Elliott playing lovers.
Well...I'm not sure it's that kind of song. It's more a celebration of the "real love" that they have together. So it wouldn't be all that awkward. Regardless, Katharine is a professional actress, she can do it!
Yes! Video!
Considering that Kat and Elliott probably recorded "Real Love" at separate locations, one of those long-distance romantic plots might suffice. Most videos show two people in smoldering embraces or in general makeout mode--so one of those situations where they have to keep in contact via cell phone would be interesting...if especially relevant in a time when husbands (or boyfriends) are away from their wives (or girlfriends) due to war.
Well, that's one definition of real love. Other than that, they might ultimately make it fairly generic (meaning just singing into the camera from unknown locations) rather than showing Kat and Elliott making out. I'm not sure either one would want to do a video together doing that anyway--and I'm beginning to think there won't be a video. Then again, with Randy behind this with a likely big stack of cash, you never know what'll happen. I think if they were going to, it would have been announced by now.
I still subscribe to the idea that visuals always make a song more compelling. Just hearing "Real Love" is appealing, though placing some compelling visuals (especially of Kat) with it would just make it ten times better. It sure worked with Kat's "Love Story" when just hearing the song itself didn't move me right away. Maybe that's a lack of imagination, but just seeing any kind of image with music always helps me for whatever reason. Even if it's a confusing plot, it doesn't seem to matter. In fact, most plots of music videos make no sense anyway.
With "Real Love"--it gets a little too repetitive toward the end (at least with the original edit)--so showing something happening with that would help.
Let's just hope Randy doesn't stand on the set and get overly critical. Hearing how he'd work the word "pitchy" into analyzing a video production would be interesting, though.
