Is there ever a time when too much glitter is a bad thing?

Answer: No. As Marina & The Diamonds demonstrates in the lusciously dazzling video accompaniment to her single, “I Am Not A Robot,” being the lovechild of Ziggy Stardust and Kylie “X” Minogue can only be a good thing. Though not a lot actually happens, the video still manages to intoxicate…perhaps because I can do nothing but wonder how she managed to get all the glitter out of her orifices after this shoot.

Oh yeah, and it’s almost like some of Björk‘s “slow pan” videos a la “Cocoon” and “Hunter.” Not as good, but close.

    I see the connection to Bjork, but this is disappointing. The song had a lot of potential.

    I think Perez Hilton reads your blog. he seems to have a lot of the same things that you already have up.

    This video is hilarious.

    The glitter part at the beginning is AWESOME , she starts to sing…. and then you think (well, I think) gosh – is that it? oh… hasn't she got SMALL eyes, so small infact that you can hardly make them out – they could be big clumps of glitter…

    It would be awesome if her eyes were a bit bigger, that is my conclusion about this video – which is a silly criticism because you can't get surgery for that.
