I thought to start a thread (unless its already been done then sorry )

What music videos have you seen thats been badly edited ...

example Michael Jackson - Thriller - after 9pm its aired fully
few years ago VH1 aired it and was cut to i think roughly 3 mins (miss out the storyline at start but start it when michael and girlfriend at cinema - then stop it at graveyard) I am sure I have seen another edit where it goes so far then they just "cut it"


another one also is Taio Cruz - Dirty Picture (I am sure the music video "dirty" is taken out its either on the MTV edit or the box edit) but there is a part in near the end its "slowed down" yet if view the video on "vidzone" on PS3 can't really see why they did it

sorry if title is maybe wrong but I have wondered that with some vids why they edit some yet other videos get played during the day without issue ie women in bikinis (benny benassi - satisfaction)

I think the CSC edit of Lady Gaga has to be the worst. The lipstick gun (my favourite part) is cut out and is replaced with random shots of Gaga from the intro which was also cut out so people don't get confused.

aah ok I know pokerface was edited by them and they blurred out a card game

Mind you Lady Gaga seems to get censored alot in her videos - either they play it in full for so long they edit it down "telephone" is another I think "the box" edit it plays storyline but then cuts here and there ... ie the restaurant sequence with Tyrese Gibson and Beyonce (Tyrese comes in and then eats his food with the poison (everyone else dies as well) but you don't get the beyonce part saying cant remember the actually line but says mother****er) and also the blurring out in the vid "pussywagon"

another one also that springs to mind 1999 - Eiffel 65 Blue (da ba dee) - the end of the vid as it featured the record company at end on The Box edit you had the members "launch" into space sequence slow to fade

and on the MTV edit you had a slow down sequence of a blue alien being shot at (at the end) (or its vice versa) but both stations had taken out that "part" which I thought was odd - at end of vid you see the alien sing "blue da ba dee" in the chair but the last 5-10 secs its suddenly removed with either sequence at end

That Beyonce part was good too.

Don't forget Bad Romance also had a deleted scene (only seen on VEVO) where Lady Gaga had her famous fire bra and a skeleton was lying next to her.

The Bauer/The Box version of Turn Me On had clumsy edits of the doll-like females and males, censored where the chest and crouch is. They make it far too obvious!

I was thinking this one today I know STUPID ... I could understand if they "popped" out but its freeking CGI and I am pretty sure Nicki Minaj/David Guetta knew to keep it as close to PG as possible!

I am sure Christina Aguilera has had a taste of "bad edits" the one that springs to mind (unknown song) but she dresses "matrix" style ... ie got whips and chains and the "zipped mouth piece" - certain scenes were either I believe were cut or "slowed down"

Lady Gaga gets edited a lot though because of product placement aswell! I think that's why they edited the Poker Face card game, because the cards were branded from a betting website. Other scenes might have placement too, and it's easier to cut them that meticulously blur/edit them.

I have seen a version of this video where the bit where one of the gang members pulls out a knife just before or after their hands are tied together gets edited out.

Another bad edit I remember was the Call On Me video by Eric Pridz when it was played on some kids Saturday morning show. Any close ups of the aerobics instructor thrusting or the rest of the class thrusting were taken out. The only bit you ever saw was Eric's face or the instructor's face or a couple of innocent dance moves from the rest of the class and that was it repeated over and over.

That reminds me. I was watching one of those "Every No.1 of the Noughties" shows, I think it was on Magic.

Robbie Williams - Rock DJ originally had him naked, censored (sorry ladies). And when he was about to strip off his skin literally, he did the same dance moves again and again. Obviously he didn't want to strip completely in the first place.

Just with mention of "product placement"

here is 2 other videos that are BLURRED (or attempt it well )

Taio Cruz - Dynamite - (BMW motorbike logo is blurred)
Taio Cruz/Kylie/Travie McCoy - Higher (Audi logos) - ironic I find yet back in 90's MTV and THE BOX channels would be more than happy to advertise these cars in ad breaks but now avoid it!


EDIT: I sometimes watch VIDZONE on the PS3 and you would be surprised that some of the videos you mention NOTHING is touched .... strange!

How has no one mentioned Pixie Lott's Kiss The Stars yet? A master class in bad editing.

I'm a fan of Pixie but the video is indeed dire. I can't watch it at all. It reminds me of September's Cry For You video but I think whoever edited the Kiss The Stars video had better go and take a course in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Maybe the video was edited in iMovie or Windows Movie Maker
