Barbie Girl!
This is a very cheerful and upbeat version of Barbie Girl. The video features "Barbie and Ken" wearing brightly colored wigs. Ken's is bright yellow and Barbie has a pink goldilocks number that matches her outfit. The performance is energetic and expressive with totally convincing lip syncing. Video quality is very good and the audio uses "room sound", which is not too bad and has the added bonus of picking up the sound of the occasional giggle and unexpected surprise finish. Really cute!
Thanks alexpoho!
Barbie Girl Dance.
This surrealistic looking video stands out for it's arresting visual quality. The bedroom set is gorgeous and features rich colors with a deep moody blue wall treatment and just the right amount of carefully chosen decorative elements. The video quality is excellent and the static camera placement has framed the room perfectly. The dance choreography is also exceptional and features completely synchronous Barbie inspired movements performed with precision by a pair of teen age girls that look like bookends. Another great feature of this video that sets it apart is editing. The Barbie Girl song is somewhat repetitive and the girls turn off the camera after about 2 minutes, which is a good amount of time to listen to Barbie Girl if you are not also dancing. While trying to choose a few noteworthy examples of the Barbie Girl dance genre, I've watched quite a few videos and this one is quite exceptional.
Thanks kellychance94!

Barbie Girl Dance by a Soldier in Iraq
This is a great Barbie Girl dance video for a number of reasons. The most obvious thing is that it's totally unexpected. You just don't expect to see soldiers stationed in Iraq to be dancing around the barracks to the Barbie Girl song. It's awesome! Needless to say, the art direction and costuming here is impressive. There's simply no substitute for authenticity and these guys have got it! All the soldiers in the video are sporting matching army issue gray t-shirts that say "ARMY" across the front, and their living quarters are sparsely decorated with wood paneling and gray lockers.
The charismatic lead performer lip syncs both the parts of Ken and Barbie while dancing all around the room. He spontaneously comes up with a lot of great and expressive moves and expertly plays to the camera as it follows him around. Hand held camera work is not easy and it's rare to see it done so well. I've shot a bit of hand held video in my day, and I always thought it took a good sense of rhythm to make it work. Shooting video to music is a dance in it's own right. It's one of those things that when it's bad it looks terrible, but when it's good nobody notices it.
It's nice to see these soldiers having some fun, and I really hope they are all doing well.
Thanks rokinthesaw! They've also got a great air guitar version of Queens's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Click here to break it out!.
