In 1990 Depeche Mode released their seventh full-length album, Violator. The music video for “Halo” is quite nice as it features lead singer Dave Gahan shirtless throughout it ;-)

Oh, and Martin Gore juggles!

 
 

Two Reasons Why Celine Dion Brings Me Much Joy February 7, 2008

Filed under: Celine Dion, videos — betty @ 5:35 pm

Exhibit A: Real Celine (In All Of Her Bizarre Glory)

I hope the novelty of “vacations” never wears off, because over the holidays while you and I were sitting on our asses and watching crap like The Real Housewives of Orange County and falling asleep in puddles of our own drool (digression: I don’t have cable, so actually it was just you watching that shit… however I do sometimes fall asleep in a puddle of my own drool at my computer desk), this guy watches all 89 hours of Celine Dion’s 2-disc DVD set “Live in Las Vegas: A New Day” and creates one of the most amusing videos of all time: “Hypothesis: Why Celine Dion is F*cking Amazing”. Just when I think I’ve lost faith in all of humanity, a guy like this comes around, gets bored and thus fixated on something as random as Celine Dion fandom, and makes a perfectly viable video of hilarity.

Exhibit B: Fake (But Just As Good As The Real Thing) Celine:

 

I love this video for a lot of reasons, the two most important being that Celine Dion is totally awesome and also I really enjoy workout videos. They amuse me. There’s politics to them. Trust. Anyway, to see fake Celine so realistically portray real Celine in a fake workout video.. well.. let’s just say I laughed. A lot. Fake Celine is possibly more brilliant than Real Celine because she obviously really gets the dramatic pauses and choppy sentence structures that make watching Real Celine so entertaining and surreal. I’m not sure if Fake Celine quite captures the utter surrealism of Real Celine, but cut her a little slack - she even uses Real Celine’s facial expressions as basis for a solid workout routine. Kudos, Fake Celine. Kudos.
