When did this happen...? Or are some of you changing your tune? Upon review ;D, it seems Max has it in for Cloudbusting personally, with most of the votes in the last few days, swaying the lead. Come on, CB fans, where are you? LOL It's not that I dislike Cloudbusting. I love it. I just...don't want it to win ;D Running Up That Hill 8 Cloudbusting 3 The Sensual World 16 + RUTH - Cloudbusting

The Sensual world without a doubt is the best of them Neo. I just think Cloudbusting is so much better than RUTH. Think of how many things she could have done with the video for RUTH.

I am going to cast a last vote and abstain from this point on. Ive reached this decision because I think that my opinion is pretty much established and obvious and to continue with tit for tat casting is probably going to be futile and counter productive to this extremely entertaining game. Before withdrawing from the contest I would like to give my reasons for casting so consistently with Cloudbusting as opposed to T.S.W. and R.U.T.H. if you all can forgive my rambling on for a short time.
The Sensual World for me is an extremely beutiful and charming video. Its like Kate becomes the song in some ways. The impression that I get is that Kate is dancing her way through dawn to sunset to moonlight to sunrise in a sensual fashion in the sensual world. This background thought is creative and expressive but for me is a little too constant and repetitive. Please detach this opinion of the video from my opinion of the song because I think the song is brilliant.
The video of R.U.T.H. is again a very elegant dance performance with heaps of emotion and passion attached. But for me it has no real story. The scene close to the end where Kate is running against a mass of same faced people is the only real departure from the main elegant dance scene. At almost 5 minutes long a short departure from a fairly constant theme is not enough to convert this video from excellent to absolutely brilliant. I.M.H.O.
Cloudbusting. I have casted my votes relentlessly for C.B based on the 6 minute 55 second version that I came accross on youtube. I suppose that I just like videos to have a story. Kates whole appearance with cropped hair was such an effort to be in character for the part and some what announced her intentions for this video. The scene where she grabs her character father (Donald Sutherland) out of fear of losing him to "The men in power" was just so dramatic. I suppose the whole setting, the many different scenes, the cloudbusting machine itself made C.B. a much more dramatic and accomplished video for me. I really believe that it is Kates most artistic and imaginitive video and an absolutely awesome song to boot.
I hope that I have not bored or offended but its off to other areas of the forum for me.

In my opinion, the video for RUTH does have a story (although I guess it's more of a concept video rather than a narrative driven one). Notice how the camera angles switch in some shots to imply that the characters are swapping places and how at the end, both are striving to get to one another to understand how the other feels. I completely understand why you feel the way you do though. Running Up That Hill 6 Cloudbusting 4 The Sensual World + RUTH - Cloudbusting 17

Most impressed with your post Mike. I have to say though, playing this game is like favouring one of my daughters over the others. I don't love any one of them more than the others, they each have their charms.
The reason I gravitate towards RUTH over Cloudbusting is I made a video for my song US WHEN, where I was literally running up that hill. (Kate did get to see it btw)
