outTunes: Brendan Velasquez “Anxious”


If you're looking for profundity, this music video is probably not it. 'It's just a song about being anxious to get out of your daily routine and let loose with your friends or whomever.'' So says 21-year-old Brendan Velasquez about his song "Anxious."

Still Velasquez is adorable, and this pop tune is amazingly catchy, even if the dance moves in the video are laughably bad. Check them out for yourself— they had me rolling on the floor.

Assuming he leaves the choreography to more seasoned hands, does this out gay performer have a future in pop?

Oh dear ....

Um ... what choreography? My 9-year old niece and her friends made a youtube vid to lady gaga and at least their dancing was in sync. Wow. He is adorable, though.

interesting experiment...

the next time you get one of these, try putting up a non-visual, audio-only track and then expose the video after.  i may have thought the song was decent enough, but it's too hard to tell considering the terrible acting (esther, please... just look at the over-the-shoulder head shake at 0:45) and the stupefying dancing...

Catchy song...but is seems to me as if this guy is trying to channel both Madonna and Justin Timberlake in this video lol.

Ok..

He should stick to singing because dancing isn't his thing. Oh..BTW...the '80s called. They want the hair back. Nice tune,though,and he's very cute.

Oh, wow.

Thank heavens he's pretty, because his dancing is worse than mine, and you need an EMT on standby for all the people I injure on a dance floor.

That said, it was catchy, and it reminded me how long it had been since I'd been in any club, much less the mega-clubs of my younger days.

MY MY

Unfortunately, there is a reason some of us are pretty and others are not.  I have a feeling if he weren't so damn cute he may have no future at all.

Based on what?

  Beautiful boys who have a modicum of talent all think they are the next big thing.  While the song is catchy he comes across as the love child of Aaron Carter and Joe Jonas. For his look that is.  I hope he isn't giving up any day jobs for a less than stellar career. At best he could be a one hit wonder.  Paul Lekakis, anyone?  At least Lekakis had a better sound, a better look, and a much better body.

That's all I am saying...

keep your shirt on.

okay, i wish you the best of luck, but i have two points of snark:

 

1) if you flip your bangs one more time, you'll fracture a vertebra. 

2) tell your voice coach to see if s/he can get you to stop whistling your sibilants. 

okay, i lied:

3) i'm sure your friends were psyched to be in the video, but next time, hire dancers.  and a choreographer.

He's got the pout

It looks to me as though the dancers are trying to dodge Brendan's fists.  Yes, he's cute, but the song is just so-so.  He will need expert coaching to develop into a true performer.  I am available for consultation, by the way.
