The video is not the song -- let's not confuse them
I go to You Tube, but only to hear the music. I use it more as an audio jukebox than to see the images. In fact, I can't tell you what happens in the videos of the songs I click most on You Tube. I'm not looking, just listening. Does a good video make a song better? Does a bad video ruin a good song? For me, the answers to both questions are "no."

MTV ages gracefully as it reaches 25
When it appeared on the television scene August 1, 1981, MTV was something no one saw coming. A station that only played music videos? Who would watch that? Now it's a global phenomena minus the 24/7 music.
