Hey all, I just saw the premiere of the Forca video on MuchMsuic. I also caught it by accident.. I left the TV on in the other room while I was reading in my bedroom and bolted towards the TV when I heard the first few seconds of the song

**** Don't read what I have typed below if you don't want to know what happens in the video until you see it for yourself ****

In the video, Nelly kind of had her old look/style from the Whoa, Nelly days. She was wearing this neon pink shirt, had hoop earings and was upbeat and dancing around.

The plot of video was kind of weird though. There's a little kid kicking a football ball around as Nelly's singing in the foreground, and then the ball gets stuck on top of a piece of a vent on the side of a tall building. The kid tries to figure out a way to get the ball back when people from around town stop what they're doing and go over to help the kid get his ball back. More and more people start pouring in and they start to climb on top of each other in an attempt to build a human ladder so someone can reach the ball. Eventually, Nelly starts climbing up on the top of the people towards the ball, and the human ladder is almost close enough. Finally, the kid climbs on top of everyone and grabs the ball, and the video's over.

In terms of the video's aesthetics, Nelly and the kid seemed to stand out because of their brighter coloured clothing, while the background (building, streets) and the other people looked dark, kind of dingy and greyish.

For anyone who's seen the video.. what did you think? What do you make out of the plot and aesthetics? I'm not too sure yet, I think I'll have to watch it again. But my first impression was "Hmmm...?"
