Miranda Lambert — "Only Prettier"

I don't know why they'd have to airbrush it... all of those girls, especially Kellie Pickler, are quite beautiful without it.

I didn't care for that video at all.

I liked it, Kellie, Laura had a couple funny parts in it, I thought it was pretty funny/cool!

Are the people dressed in black kellie, miranda, laura and hilarie as ell

Yep. Underwhelming.

LBB reminds me of Katy Perry in that black wig.

Don't worry, you aren't missing anything. I was also hoping for something funny that really got the jist of the song, but it's just a sad, boring video.

Miranda delivers yet again with her music videos. She's definitely someone who I always look forward to what she'll do w/ her next video; they've all been so good -- especially "Famous in a Small Town" (prob. my fave video ever) and "White Liar"

Kellie Pickler had the best parts... I loved the smoking scene where she's waving it away and coughing. I feel like the only think I would've changed is that it seemed weird to have Hillary Scott there, since her good girl persona still had dark hair, and that was what they were trying to balance it against: putting darks wigs on the blonde girls. Its not too big of a deal for me though; still a great video!

There you have it. At the time of writing that post I couldn't think of another blonde that could fill the role, save for Carrie Underwood who just wouldn't have fit in as well.

But yes, Julianne Hough would've definitely been a wise choice in place of Hillary Scott.

It was a cute video, but not her best.

The song should do well on the charts, Miranda is at the top of her game after HTBM

This video was also underwhelming to me. It wasn't bad, but I think it leaves a lot to be desired. I expected them to go into more details and better scenes with the groups of girls...it didn't seem interesting enough.

While I wasn't crazy about White Liar either, I think this is definitely the worst single of Miranda's from this era yet. I hate the production on it, and the lyrics annoy me and, like lyrichord also said, are not relateable. How many more singles from this record will there likely be? I'm hoping Airstream Song gets released eventually.

I hope she releases that as the fifth single, too

That, or "Virginia Bluebell," because by the time this peaks it'll be time for a winter single and I think thats a pretty good choice.

I wanted to comment on something dudley had pointed out earlier:



I don't understand why they put that filter on Miranda's voice, either. I remember reading once that, back in 1989 when Shania was cutting rock demos, to get a reverberation they would have her stand in a shower and sing. I get the same feeling here, like Miranda is standing, as dudley said, at the back of a giant theater and is yelling.

To make matters worse, they've layered her voice behind some of the instruments. In fact, I daresay, most of the instruments. It makes for a very hard listen some times. In order to hear Miranda, you have to crank the track up, at which point the guitars just get louder. Maybe that was the point.

But I concur that the instruments really have feeling, have attitude. They are almost as sarcastic in nature as the lyrics of the song. I really have no qualms about the song, I think it's really good, but I am yet to wrap my head around the production. I just don't get it. And I get further lost when I hear Miranda sing it live, when her voice sounds crisp, clear, and strong. Why would you want to bury that behind layers of production and noise?

This wasn't moving fast to begin with but a lot of songs have had to slow down due to the plethora of top 20 debuts over the past few weeks. When you have four straight songs (Chesney, Sugarland, Flatts, Swift) immediately take a top 20 song's worth of spins from the rest, the impact will be noticeable.
