In
terms of music, did video kill the radio star?Heck no. I think video has enhanced
the radio star's popularity.

Nah, although sometimes I think RADIO killed
the radio star.

Ha ha ha, good question! Well sort of,
because if there was no video then a lot more people would listen to the radio. But there
are still people who do listen to the radio, so the radio star isn't totally dead lol

Well, the song is really cool, but the radio
still dominates the morning commute =)

Yes. Video did kill the radio star.
And it also help the radio star because the eyecandy starts got seen more and appreciated
for both looks and talent. in some cases---just looks.
Anjel, 20
No. Mega conglomerate media
interests have.

I don't know if it killed it, per se. But,
as a Rolling Stones fan, seeing Mick Jagger "dancing in the streets" with David
Bowie was a major turn-off.

Sorry--I know very little about music.

I don't think so at all --- not as
far as I'm concerned anyway. Truthfully? When I want
something to "watch" it's fine, but there are many times when I prefer
just to listen. I believe even my 14 year-old daughter feels the same way.

No way.

I don't think so... you can't watch tv in
your car, now can you? If anything the shizit they play on mainstream radio is
identical to the shizit they play on MTV, so they just feed off of each other. Me, I
stick to my cd collection and college radio.

No, I don't think so. I do belive in the
beginning when video had just come out but not everyone has access to all the videos.
Besides radio is portable and free.
Stephanie, 25

Now there's a unique question! I don't watch
much MTV or VH1, so I'd have to say no. I'm not really familiar with the music video scene
so it just doesn't seem that important to me. Lately I usually listen to CDs in the car,
so it almost seems as though radio's not there anymore either - but it's still more
attractive to me than music videos.

No. Of course, I was born 2 years
after the advent of MTV (1983 and 1981, respectively),
so I've never "known life" without videos. But there were one-hit wonders,
heartthrobs, and all that stuff before videos. Videos just make songs more visual. The
problem is that an artist or director's interpretation of a song can be quite different
from our own, and the video might hinder the song's effect. Also, many stars (aka Britney
Spears) with mediocre talent and boring songs become "pop princesses" because
they're cute and have sexualized videos, so the lameness of their songs is glossed over

Not at all! Marketers learned how to
complement video with radio. Used properly it is a different media to be used for
promotion. It could harm you or can help you.

Not if you listen to classical music, as I
do.
Jane, 60

The radio star is alive and well.
Firelady, 23

Yes, again I say yes. The percentage
of plain or ugly musicians has greatly decreased since
we can see them on television all the time. Music is now bought by a look, almost as much
as by the sound of the artist.
Ryan
no, video created the pop star
Jaden, 21

I've never understood that song, but if it's
supposed to be interpretated literally, then probably not.
Shanna, 16

I dunno, John Popper did pretty well and
he's reasonably unattractive. I think marketing experts have overpushed models and dancers
who have no musical abilities, but they've been doing that since the Beatles were a
hairband.
Alias Irrelevante
Not anymore.
Maybe in the beginning it might have hurt a little, but these days it's almost impossible
to find a music video to watch that isn't the same top 10 every day, week in and week
out!!
