Her album is great. But so far all the promo have been disappointing.

Chiffon and backlighting..? Outside of a Bonnie Tyler/Celine Dion video? Honestly?!?
She has been so badly served by the directors and stylists on all of her videos, it’s not even funny at this point. Poor girl.

what is it saying exactly? does she own a lighthouse now? and converted it into a giant phallic spiralled bedroom? yeah she’s cool. But I guess its designed to appeal to the yanks innit’.

its just a bit dull init
i don’t think she’s been done a disservice by the directors and stylists, but by her management and commissioner who has evidently made such poor choices.

I agree with Boxy, who’s her product destroyer? Saying that I bet the pitch didn’t read .. Field then Lighthouse then..walking through field.

i think that this a lovely video, no theres not going to be much excitment listen to the song IDIOTS
she looks beautiful the lighthouse is not her own, she just used it for her video…she use dhereford where she grew up as the main focus in your song which i think is very cute and admirable I LOVE ELLIE SHES AN AMAZING PERSON, IF YOU DONT LIKE THIS SONG TRY ANIMAL…OR TRY ONE OF UNRELEASED SONGS.
THERE ISNT A REASON TO DISLIKE HER AND IF YOU DO DONT SAY IT SHE DOESNT DESERVE ANY OF IT.
DONT CALL HER NAMES AND NOT LEAVE YOUR NAME IT’S BULLYING,EVEN IF SHE IS A CELEBRITY HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT?
