Henry- I would have never have thought/ caught how she says how no body even knows her but like her regardless just because she has nice clothes. I had not caught the line where she says no one knows anything about her but they still like her. When you listen to the song you just pass over that and only hear how her lip gloss is cool. Though the message was obvious how possessions make you have a good life.
Andy- I didn't notice how in the video during all of the attention she was getting, she was also in control and how everyone followed her. I agree that most people feel like material goods will get them far. Even Lil Mama's mom goes on to say how it was her all along and not the lip gloss but Lil Mama doesn't listen cause she likes all the attention she's getting. Music videos are also another way to advertise things its not all about the music and words like with L'Oreal paying to put their product in the video, so when people watch it they would want the product.
Jace- I agree with you that the video is saying how people need to have good looks to have a good life. I also believe that its not only good looks but the things that help you to achieve it. SIne she only got "good looking" and popular after the lip gloss. Also its all about your outside looks, not the things that are deeper than that. Thats why she says in the song "you don't know about me" Though i disagree with the ugly part because there was the nerd that wasn't good looking until she blew her lip gloss stuff on him.
