#11: All I Want 🎹 - Well, it was hard to choose a last place. This video is undeniably really cool, but of course it was her first music video so it wasn't super developed yet, and it's really just a performance of the song out in the desert with an orchestra behind her. Love the scenery, it just doesn't match up to the stunning visuals in some of her other videos.
#10: Obsessed 🎖- Interestingly, the first two videos eliminated were her earliest and her most recent. I don't quite understand this one. The setting's a little out-of-place, but there are a lot of funny moments throughout.
#9: Brutal 📱 - A bit of an unusual video. Some distracting effects, but I think that's kinda the whole point.
#8: Bad Idea Right? ☔️ - The rain scenes are cool. Not much to say.
#7: Can't Catch Me Now 🐍 - As someone who hasn't seen this movie and doesn't get a lot of the references here, I still love this aesthetic. I've said this before, but I'll say it again: Hunger Games songs are pretty much always good, and so are Hunger Games music videos! This means that, unsurprisingly, non-album singles was the first "album" eliminated from the ranking.
#6: Drivers License 🚗 - Her first video for an album single, and right from the start, she knew what she was doing.
#5: Traitor 🐠 - One of the things I love about Liv vids is that they have a common motif of water as a metaphor for escape. This is done really well here.
#4: Deja Vu 🌴 - Honestly my favorite use of the water symbolism, and one of her most aesthetically pleasing videos.
#3: Get Him Back 🔪 - I'm gonna guess this was one of her hardest videos to make.
#2: Vampire 🧛 - Just one word: gorgeous. Guts is now the first real album eliminated from the ranking.
#1: Good 4 U 🔥 - This has to have been the hardest video to make. Obviously the highlight is that the fire and water at the end is real... omg. And the Easter eggs are great: she's dressed as a cheerleader because she's sarcastically pretending to cheer her ex on for doing better without her, and she commits Taylor Swift-style arson by burning said ex's house down, and of course she buys popcorn at the store to eat as she observes the scene. This was her third video and she was already making top-tier cinematography. With Sour being the last album eliminated, that concludes my ranking!
That's all for now! Byeeeeeeeeee!
