MTV. I Like

All of you must have heard of MTV. If not, u've probably been staying on another planet or been around when dinosaurs roamed the earth. MTV or Music Television (for those who dun noe, duh!) is a cable television networked in New York and was first broadcast on August 1st 1981. Over the years it has grown into a prominent and popular channel airing music videos and producing it's own reality shows. Now, it's amazing on how music videos can have an impact on the music itself.

I once recommended a friend to a song and she said she was not interested. Some days later, she came up to me asking for the music video. I asked her what makes her so interested in the song and as i guessed it correctly, she said she liked the song while watching the music video! (btw, the song in particular was 'No Promises' by Shayne Ward) Wah! Can u see the impact it has made on her and perhaps many others? Sometimes music played over the radio alone may not be enough to attract listeners. In a way, music video helps to boost the popularity and attract viewer attention. They act as a form of advertisement for the singer or music.

Most of us are visual people. Which means, we tend to remember things we see better than things we hear. No wonder there is a saying 'Go in One Ear, Come out the Other'. Haha!!

They say, 'A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words.'
Just imagine what moving pictures can do....
