I agree with you completely

@docdave15 9 років тому

I won't lie, when I first saw Ariana Savalas's name I thought, "Oh, like Telly Savalas. I'm sure it's just a coincidence." But it turns out she actually is Telly's daughter. I'm sure Telly would be proud of his daughter's accomplishments as a singer. :)

@JonEngland 9 років тому

I somehow have my doubts as to 'daughter'... one of the original Desperate Housewives Sheridan (the one who was fired for hitting the prod/director over the head) IS Telly's daughter.... this gal - is significantly younger.... and Telly's been dead awhile

@docdave15 9 років тому

Telly died in 94 and Ariana was born in 87. He had two children with his final wife. Yes, she is his daughter. You know how I found out? Wikipedia and a video featuring Ariana on X-Factor Greece.

Telly Savalas was so famous in Greece that they had Kojak lollipops (late 70's early 80's)

@Neamhain 9 років тому

This just proves that Taylor Swift is a good songwriter, and that the pop beats she use doesn't do her writing any justice.

@browncoat697 9 років тому

This song is probably her best lyrical output... ever. It's really well written, with mostly tight rhymes, and clever, smart metaphors ("rose garden, filled with thorns," as well as "Who is she? I get drunk on jealousy...," along with, "cause you know I love the players, and you love the game"). If the actual _music_ for Blank Space wasn't terrible (which it is, unfortunately), it'd rightfully be a classic. Hell, Swift's own performance on it isn't that bad, it's just that awful, sterile, electronic beat.

@neogazer1245 9 років тому

what are you taking about? Taylor's pop beats helped accent how crazy/intense her personal and situation was. It was perfect for the lyrics. this tune clashes with the lyrics, much like the how their "anaconda" tune clashed with the original lyrics. this song sound all formal and late night bar performance now. the singer now means like an elegant lady instead of a sociopath. How does this rendition help highlight the lyrics?

@browncoat697 9 років тому

Neo Gazer Eh, I wouldn't say it clashes now. Instead of the cold psychopath the original sterile, electronic beat projected, now it's more of a rich, fashionable, elegant bitch. Less Norman Bates, more Anna Wintour.

@jimjamsim 9 років тому

Rip Steakface Listen to 'All too well'. "You call me up to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest." Is so honest and heart wrenching but poetic.

@undrwateranarchy 9 років тому

Neo Gazer I think I prefer this arrangement, but you've got a point. I'm sure psycho can be done at this tempo, but Ariana didn't pull it off. Perhaps she doesn't have personal experience to pull from, or wasn't going for the psycho angle. The phrasing of this arrangement adds some sense to the lyrics IMO, though it could use some vocal and performance intensity. Perhaps her live version has that.

I love how it just seem so _effortless_. PMJ takes a toplist pop song, casually makes it 1000% better, and just for fun throw in some dancers, a burning saxophone, or tambourine guy. I'm sure they work hard, I'm sure they rehearse 50 times before the shoot, but it it _seems_ like super-pro's just having a bit of fun!

I just felt as if I met Ariana Savalas, fell in love, asked her out, romanced her, had a whirlwind affair, got engaged, had an argument that created a rift between us, grew apart, had a talk at the first restaurant we ate together, cried, spoke, broke up and sat at that bar with a glass with ice and a scotch whiskey bottle, while sobbing silently remembering her beautiful face. That woman is all the sexy in the world. Great talent. Great cover.

And the singer made it like it belongs to her. And I love the gestures of the dancers when they made the fan shaking behind, reminds me of peacock. Especially when they're all smiling at the end. As if some peacocks are there, smiling, proudly admitting their actions and feels no guilty about it. Amazing. This video is a whole package.
