Hey peeps, I was watching the Pokarekare Ana video and thought it was much better done than the Wuthering Heights video. In fact, I'd rather forfeit the Wuthering Heights video and put in Pokarekare Ana. For seveal reasons:
1. It is much, MUCH more suited for Hayley. Its a very chaste, tranquil video. I don't particularly like it, but I think its well done for Hayley, primarily because it fits her image of pure - which is pretty chaste. Nothing overly emotional or particularly full blood passionate, which Wuthering Heights requires, and Hayley can't quite manage to pull off.
2. Though its a well known NZ folk song, its not well known internationally. And Hayley won't suffer from having her video dubbed "a parody of Kate Bush", as the caption on the Top of the Pops website suggests.
3. Visually, I find Hayley much, much more appealing. With straight hair, in tranquil colors such as aqua and white. *She even has shorts to cover her um, loin area. Booyah! More chaste imagery*. In the Wuthering Heights, I couldn't quite picture Hayley in black and red, passionate colors. My image of Hayley isn't passionate, its the opposite of that.
4. Pokarekare Ana suits her voice more than Wuthering Heights does. And all the nature imagery, the breathing life into the boy (but she leaves him! Oi! Wonderful, sea fairyish, no man businiess!), finding the unidentified shiny things.
Booyah.
