Apparently according to Marina her new video is being delayed because her label think she's too ugly. She tweeted this earlier:
"So, someone at my record label wont let me release the video bc I look ugly in it apparently + we need more $ / time to paint out ugly parts,"

I hope the video isn't touched up to the max so she looks like some plastic barbie.

    It's hilarious how she called them out on Twitter. I love her.

    I think everyone's taking this literally when it's not meant to be...

    Tactical promotion? It's not like her last video or single did well. I want to see the video NOW, so it's working. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if that wasn't even her posting that on her Twitter - or that she was told to.

    I doubt Marina's famous enough to pull off this kind of stunt. The vast majority of people have no clue of her existence to even care whether or not she looks ugly in a video.

    Outside of her fanbase she's very unknown.

    And trust me,she always tweets her tweets herself!

    Well, Marina is obviously beautiful (one of the hottest girls in the whole industry, let's be honest!) but we don't know what image she's gone for in this video. Maybe the label want her to have a more conventionally pretty look, or whatever...

    I love her music and I'm not a massive pop fan. She always seems to get it right and impress me with her stuff. She writes a heck of a lot of her songs herself.

    Think the jibe was against Warner Music Group who are the owners of sub-label 679.A little bit of 'internal' music industry politics going on here I would say.I'm sure the comment is a little tongue in cheek but there is an element of Marina pushing her contractual boundaries as well.

    The video release was delayed though / promotional costs will be deducted out her own profits - she's bound to feel a little exasperated.It could mean (in the most unlikely possible extremes :rolleyes:) that Marina sells more singles due to the alterations they are making to the video.She may have overstated the reasons why Atlantic / BMG are making the changes but it was an attempt to belittle / poke fun at them, a little bit, as well.Trouble is she has little say in what or how the Major label decides to spend on promotion, although she effectively is paying these costs.

    I know what you mean, certain people seem obliged to say that even if they don't find the person 'beautiful'.

    For anybody who hasn't seen the video.:confused: I wouldn't say she looked ugly :p.. however, for such a good song, the video is crap as hell!
