Push ft Prophet

 

 

 

Of course when put featuring neither Lil Wayne or Prophet are in the videos, just their voices. It's just Enrique some slutty dancers and the two stars of the film.

 

I'm not going to say anything about the video itself. Just let people make up their own minds about what they think of it.

aww man i wanted lil wayne in the video how dissapointing and enrique could have done some choreography.He's getting predictable with every one of his videos havin a beautiful.

model As his love interest in the video.

"getting predictable"? He's been recycling the same ideas since he crossed over into English. Not entirely his fault though he's had two videos pulled by his label because they deviated from his image as a heartthrob too much Sad Eyes and the original Don't Turn Off The Lights so I guess it's difficult to be original when your hands are tied so much.

 

Obviously very little thought went into the video besides making it as sleazy and dirty as possible. Personaly I just don't like the sleazyness of this video , plus he looks kinda bored throughout, not to mention it all looks as if it was made for about five bucks. I would have liked a video along the lines of "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado. As for Lil Wayne...who can say why he's not there. I bet he would've been in it if it released as the second single as was originaly planned. Being on the Soundtrack to a Disney movie may have had something to do with it.

so wehn is this single released in the uk??

I'm kinda out of the Enrique loop atm. I emailed someone who's usualy a good source about things like this but no word. The song hasn't been officialy added to radio in the US yet and the video is only available via the net, it doesn't look like he'll promote the song any more than he has done. It also was removed from the list of official singles from the Step Up 2 the Streets OST. The cynic in me is wondering if it's properly coming out or if they're hoping with a controversial clip and a bit of media exposure they could eek out a few more album sales rather than waste any money pushing him in reluctant mainstream US market.

 

I suppose it could come out in Europe which would be a good idea seeing as Enrique's more popular there but they'd have to get their skates on if they want to get with the Movie release. Then again it looks like Insomniac is winding down, he's only really promoting Tired Of Being Sorry in Germany and the French version of the song in France.

I wouldn't hold my breath for any more promotion for "Push".

 

Interestingly I've read in a few places that the video was heavily edited by MTV because it was too explict. The original actualy has Prophet in it.

 

Original Video...

 

 

Is it just me or is this actualy a lot less explicit. To me it just looks like they just edited Prophet out of the video. Seems strange that MTV would take the trouble to edit the video as it hasn't been shown once on the occasions they do play videos or been added to TRL. The only thing they've done is add it to their official Youtube Channel.

Yeah - it doesn't strike me as much more explicit either... but I like the video, and I like seeing Prophet in it! It would be too bad if 'Push' doesn't achieve much success because of a lack of promotion... 'cause it's a standout track on 'Insomniac' and had SO much potential! :unsure:

Tbh "Push" was never going to go anywhere. It's just a last ditch effort to eek a few more album sales without anyone wasting money or effort. It did reach #86 on Pop Radio but then dropped to #767. I guess you could call that a flop but seeing as it was never properly released to radio he's lucky to get that.

 

As I said in another thread on here Insomniac was patterned on Furtado's Loose in terms of giving Enrique a comeback as a cooler artist. When it didn't do those numbers with "Do You Know" they decided it was better off trying to appeal to his old image with a more traditional Enrique song like "Somebody's Me". Even though that was a hit on Hot AC radio it didn't make a blip on album sales. After that they were lost, they had no idea what to do with him.

 

The tour he's going to Latin America, the Middle East and Asia with is for Insomniac so there may still be some future for the album in some form. According to his official bio Insomniac has gone Gold or Platinum in 18 countries so it can't all be bad. Whether that would be enough to maintain an English career who knows. I can't see any major US record label wanting him to release English albums unless they're succesful in the US itself.

Yes, it is included there! :D It´s gorwing on me now :wub:

I don't like the video. Song is catchy, but without any great quality. But, I like to listen it.

I think the version he does live is better

like the music is different and better

Yeah I love the way he performs it live too. Unfortunately at his current US concerts he seems to only be performing it at a few shows which makes sense I suppose seeing as most the audience likely wouldn't know the song.

 

Incidently it's been said that the video was actualy filmed for the Step Up 2 version which featured Enrique solo, that's definitely the version that they were going to release as a single so I guess that would explain why Lil Wayne isn't actualy in the video.

 

Since MTV refused to air the video on their main channel and whoever was in charge of the soundtrack got pissy about releasing the song it seems Enrique's people decided to edit it, taking out clips from the movie which were in previews of the video and used the audio of the Insomniac version.

 

*sigh thinking back on this "Push" was such a wasted opportunity. As was the whole Insomniac album really.
