Lady Marmalade - Christina
Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya, Pink (Performance)
This
music video is a performance because it is not only set on a stage and in
dressing rooms but the four girls are singing and dancing to the camera. It’s
all about the Moulin Rouge and so they are all made up and in quite extravagant
costumes. There is a strong relationship between the video and the lyrics
because it’s all about burlesque and the fact that they are performing in
burlesque costumes strengthens this idea that women are sexualising themselves
for their audience. This therefore creates entertainment value for the audience
because they are performing a song in quite a sexual and appealing way.
Throughout the song there is also a switch between different scenes / areas.
This is obvious because as each girl sings, they each sing a verse or so, the
room changes hence showing that they are all in different positions. On the
chorus however this changes and they all come together and they all perform as
one. This is choreographed hence also showing this performance element.
