Here's the video:

YouTube - Maroon 5 Wake Up Call Official Video Premiere

What do you think?

--jasmin-- · 08-01-2007, 07:12 AM

ok...the video is kinda strange...and i think it would've been much better without all those girls...

~*Chrissie*~ · 08-01-2007, 08:04 AM

I agree.
I love the idea of the movie kind of feeling, and the whole story setting and all the boys look fiiine. But seriously, all those random girls grose me

I have to say, I was expecting better from the teasers, I still like it, but not their best video, not at all.

(Half - Naked Adam saves the video though)

--jasmin-- · 08-01-2007, 01:07 PM

yeah...half-naked Adam's great!!

the bat scene's my fave...
but my fave video is definetly "She Will Be Loved"

btw..i think Adam's a good actor..i hope he gets to make some movies...i'll watch them all

~*Chrissie*~ · 08-01-2007, 02:05 PM

Yeah the bat's scene!

Mine too, probably because it's my favourite song ever. Although This Love is great too! Again, half-naked Adam helps!

I know! He's great! Totally has the gaze/look thing perfectly! Me too, just because it's him. But I think he better sticks to making gorgeous music!

I'm not loving the video. All the porn star looking girls need to go, are there no normal looking girls to put in videos anymore?

Thanks for the thread Chrissy

Great title.

Hmm.. I dunno, there's something in the video that I think was overly done. Sorry girls. I love the song and the overall stuff on the video but I think they made it so huge (like so many stuff on the video) that it look a bit overdone.

Maybe the girls.

The ****ty girls are so annoying! That's why I love SWBL because they got two beautiful simple looking girls.

I love the idea if it, though. The movie-like content plus they get to act a bit.

I love love the first part where Adam acted a lil with the girl (which an overly done lashes!) in the car. Half naked Adam is also a good part of the video, but I like the prison cut, too.

For the Director's Cut version ->

~*Chrissie*~ · 08-02-2007, 02:58 AM

Thanks for the vid Gay. And for the title, I do believe it's HAWT.

But, I agree with you. The girls and stuff, a bit overdone.

That girl looks wierd, what with the eyelashes and the huge lips

I ADORE how Adam says You lied to me, I keep replaying it!

Plus the guys are hilarious. Jesse kills me

And James looks hot!

So yeah, there are good things and bad things, but I do like it.

--jasmin-- · 08-02-2007, 04:11 AM

yeah...you know...i think they should make another video.....a simpler one....the scenes were going a bit too fast.....and they should get all those girls out...the one with Adam in the car was quite enough...and ADAM!!! ohh!!! he's such a great actor...specially that first scene in the car

Jesse's great too...cute

..btw...did he cut his hair?? it looked short

~*Chrissie*~ · 08-02-2007, 10:09 AM

Yeah he totally cut his hair. He had very short hair in concert too. He looks better.

Yeah, nah actually I think it's OK, for one video. I just hope they will never have that much porn girls in one video again. They're not 50Cent for Goodness' Sake!

Adam is totally a great actor. The first scene kills me. He's really good.

--jasmin-- · 08-02-2007, 10:25 AM

oh, yeah!! Adam's totally hot in that video!!
and THANK YOU JESSE FOR FINALLY CUTTING YOUR HAIR...YOU LOOK CUTE!!

Thanks for starting a thread for the vid Chrissie!

As for the vid I really liked the whole concept of the "movie" video as well. I loved the band mugshots (

) and the story that went along with it. The guys performance parts were

And of course the Adam + Baseball bat was just..

I have to agree with you all about the girls though. That was totally unnecessary in my opinion.

From the teasers I was actually expecting something else as well. I thought the video skipped around quite a lot too and I didn't really like that.

The car explosion was awesome too.

It's not my favorite vid. The guys seemed to have worked hard on it though so props to them for that! I have to say I really like MMW.

HappySquared · 08-02-2007, 09:15 PM

The car explosion scene was great!

Over all the video is okay with me. They just have to cut down the porn girls unecessary exposures. It didn't add much to the story line.

I love how they were given scenes to act especially Adam.

I also had expected more with the teaser but I expected in vain. But hell! It's M5 and Adam looks so hot and sexy!

What more can I ask for?

ITA! It's crazy how the video moves from a shot to another...and yeah I was expecting other stuff from the teasers too.

I kinda agree. I love the song, but the video was a bit too .. something. I think the girls are definitely one reason why I don't like it so much.

They were too everything.

Exactly.

I liked the movie-type feel of it though, and that all the guys had a 'part' in the video.

And yes,

for Jesse cutting his hair. But in the world is he wearing in those shots when they're playing?
