Christina Aguilera-Bound To You
In this music video, the first few scenes show’s Christina
getting intimate with a guy. From there the music starts and blurs into the
time where she’s back to the stage where she sung Bound To You. While she sings
the song, Christina manages to express a lot of emotions, enough that even the
audience can feel it. For example in 3.59, where she is belting out the word
“fall”, the power of her strong voice can make the audience feel it, her pain of
being scared of her relationship falling apart.
There are two types of scenes within this music video, the reason for that is that the scenes
separates from pass and present. Such as in the scene 2.04 it shows Christina
on the stage singing, which represent the current. While the scenes of her with
the guy, is the pass. To know this, the song lyrics tell the story, for example
around 3.07 the lyrics are “And I embrace myself, please
don't tear this apart, I found a man I can trust and boy, I believe in us I am
terrified to love for the first time”, the scene at 3.07 shows the audience that
Christina is getting close with a guy and chatting away with few drinks. This
tells the audience that they are flirting and it is leading to the start of
their relationship.
In the beginning where Christina is getting intimate with the
guy, the start of the song is orchestral music; I personally think the scene
matches it due to the fact that the music is emotional and fit the mood. While
if a happy beaty song is played at that moment, it would not seem right nor would
it fit in with the mood. As that scene leads on too them doing the deed, which
can be seen in the scene in 1.15-1.35 where they practically are lying naked on
the bed. From there it cross fade to a close up shot of her face, to show it is
back to reality, which is on the stage. You can tell she is on the stage by the
camera angle in 2.04 and 2.54, the over head shot, which makes her the dominate
one within the scene. I believe this is done to make her stand out more and it is
all about her right now. Such as in the end (4.45), the stage lighting made her
into a silhouette. Which her body language tells the audience that she is committed
to her relationship and she just expressed all her feelings out, along it made
her body figure stand out.
On YouTube it has gained 167,181 views, 1,287 likes and 17
dislikes. From the comments on YouTube I believe most of these views are from Christina
Aguilera fans. Such as from dtheriault51, they said “say what you will, but the
girl has got some pipes!, and another YouTuber said “OMG THAT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!!
I was like “girl you sing it”. At the end I as clapping in my mind ( its really
late and parental units….) so much and then to hear the audience clapping,and
there’s like five people clapping, was soo mean. I mean she busted her hump
singing for you at least qivers her a standing O?!! I was like “NO SHE DESERVE
BETTER THAN THAT!”. But anyway she was beautiful and amazing as always and I hope
to someday be as great as her (impossible I know) but check my channel”, by
Lauren Brown. This comment gained 4 likes.
From these two comments it shows people are more interested in her voice
than the actual video itself. Along her body language is important within this
song, as her body language can express more emotions as well when she is
singing. It also shows that some people enjoys her singing so much that they
don’t actually care about some scenes, such as for example the scenes where
Christina is getting intimate with the guy.
Overall the music video produces and expresses strong
feelings about love. Many females may be able to relate to this song due to the
fact that some may have had bad relationship and are scared to fall in love
again. When they get close to another guy, they be scared in the same thing may
happen again or similar and not sure in whether to risk being in a relationship
again or not. Along this song is written by Christina Aguilera, Samuel Dixon
and Sia Furler, which can mean that these lyrics and feelings can be based or
true story. Such as recently Christina Aguilera got a divorce, this song may
represent her once love life.
This song can be brought alone on Amazon, which will be digital
download copy or on a CD. The CD is known as Burlesque as the song Bound To You
is from the film that Christina Aguilera stars in. Which can also be brought on Amazon or HMV. This song cannot be brought
in another Christina album.
