This week's Alv's track of the week is a song which I have been loving for quite a number of weeks now. It's none other than Superhuman by Chris Brown and Keri Hilson.
I've always loved duets, they way both voices (one deep and one high-pitched) harmonise to create a picture of lovers is juz awesome to listen 2. :D Woohoo!!!
The video:
The video basically shows Chris Brown and Keri Hilson duet-ing while walking on a street, and sometimes somewhere else, like on a rooftop. The real show only starts in the 2nd half of the video, when Chris meets Keri by uhh...bumping into her! xD Both then started chatting and then Chris gives Keri his hp number. As she turns back to look at him, a car suddenly rushes out and Chris SPRINGS TO THE RESCUE!!! He grabs her and she escapes being knocked down by the car by AN INCH!!! Apparently, this caused an explosion of the car after that as the car collides with another. Then both Chris and Keri starts singing at the crash scene and yea, the video kinda ends this way all the way.
The GOOD, and the bad:
This is actually the most MUSIC kind of music video I have watched till date, which is good. It sticks to the idea that it is a music video, where almost all of the video are scenes showing both of them singing. ;) I also love the lyrics! If you have seen the lyrics, or listened to the song really carefully (well, the lyrics is actually just below anw xD), you would have noticed some things that I would like to call 'composition techniques'! :D One example, is the use of "weak" in the 1st half of the song and "strong" in the 2nd half. 2 strong contrasting words that show me the true hero. Though trying to be strong on the outside by putting on a brave front, he is still weak at times. Mostly when he's in love. (I see this a lot in movies and TV shows!!!) Another example is the usage of "it's not a bird, it's not a plane". K this ain't a really good idea, but yea you noe. People like to say "it's a bird, it's a plane, it's superman!" Hahax yea, this is called using your everyday things around you to good use! :D
However, Chris Brown may be a good dancer, but he's not good an actor at all! xD He seems distracted in this video. And quite rightly so, this is probably why the song would not feed well~ I watched Chris Brown on an episode of Suite Life before. Hahax just for entertainment, I shall put the video (of him dancing) here too. ;) Cheers! ;)

~Chris~
Weak,
I have been crying and crying for weeks.
How'd I survive when I can barely speak,
barely eat.
On my knees...
~Keri~
But that's the moment you came to me,
I don't know what your love has done to me.
Think I'm invincible, I see
Through the me
I used to be.
~Both~
You've changed my whole life.
Don't know what you're doing,
To me, with your love.
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me,
A superhuman heart beats in me,
Nothing can stop me here with you.
Superhuman
Superhuman
~Chris~
Strong,
Since I've been flying, and righting the wrongs.
Feels almost like I've had it all along,
I can see tomorrow.
~Keri~
Where every problem is gone because,
I flew everywhere with love inside of me.
It's unbelieveble to see, how love, can set me free.
~Both~
You've changed my whole life.
Don't know what you're doing,
To me with your love.
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me,
A superhuman heart beats in me,
Nothing can stop me here with you.
Superhuman
Superhuman
It's not a bird, not a plane,
It's my heart, and it's going gone away.
My only weakness is you,
Only reason is you,
Every minute with you, I feel like I can do,
Anything...
Going, going, I'm gone away,
In love.
You've changed my whole life.
Don't know what you're doing to me with your love.
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me,
A superhuman heart beats in me,
Nothing can stop me here with you.
Superhuman
Superhuman (oh, oh~)
(entertainment!!!) the Ol' Jackie xD
Can't keep on loving you
from a distance...
