Yeah, whatever

Music videos have always been full of this stuff. They were invented in the 1980s after all.

The only reason anyone cares about this is because they hate Sam Smith.

Which is a legitimate reason but so many people are being completely disingenuous.

True. And a lot of elements of this video were stolen from Madonna and Lady Gaga videos that were better produced -- or The Rocky Horror Picture Show. As far as I can tell, the whole point of it is for Smith to act like he looks sexy. Like many things these days, it's hard to tell if it's parody or if he's serious.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Paula Abdul, etc . . . There have been a lot of very sexual music videos.
