Do videos influence your tastes ?

17 posts	Hmm... I dunno if it can make me like an artist. But if I hear a really good song on the radio and then some time later see the video and the persons doesn't appeal to me, I actually can start hating the song.... Well, that's just me.

9,999 posts	Yeah! Thats how I got into Missy Elliot! I don't usually pay much attention to the videos, but one day I watched the 'Get Ya Freak On' video and I was cracking up laughing, and then I began to love Missy Elliot.

1,369 posts	No, I don't if I already don't like the song I'm not taking the time to look at the video... so don't have a chance to like it...hehe But when a song is played endlessly in the radio, even if I don't like it i end up singing it!! and that drives me crazy!!!!!!

5,582 posts	They don't really because the only music channels I get on my tv are full of pop. If I hear a video is good I watch it on the internet so unless the video is really good they won't have an influence.

998 posts	No, this is not true in my case. For you see watching Ron Jeremy only caused me to shy away from popular pornography. inaudible conversation What? Oh...I mean I...uh...boy that baseball team sure is somethin' huh? shifty eyes

854 posts	no not really but if the videos like well boring then it kind of makes me not listen to the song as much cause i watch them more on t.v than i do on the radio

577 posts	for me, some songs i like the song and the video, some i like the song but not the video, and others i like the video, but not the song. so basically, to answer the question, No.

2,297 posts	nope some clips can entertain me for 3 minutes and I'll laugh but then i think If I'm paying that much attention to the video the song probly isn't that good cos it hasn't grabbed my attention... sometimes if a song has a crap clip I can get sick of it really quickly also....

6,661 posts	When I watch FoodTV I get hungry. Does that count? Haha yes, videos can change what I like. Typically it's because the video gets overplayed and I end up skipping that song on the CD later. And I gained a new respect for independent films after watching "Playmate of the Apes." What an hilarious movie!

55 posts	Yeah they do usually, but not always for example if its a good song and crappy video i still like the song and vica versa
