Pink - U + Ur Hand music video analysis

Realised in 2006, ‘U + Ur Hand’ was the third single released from P!nk’s fourth album, I'm Not Dead. The music genre the album falls under is pop rock. I am going to analyse this music video and see how it fits in with its genre and also how it works as an overall music video. 

‘U + Ur Hand’ hand falls under the category of both being a Commercial exhibitionist and a televised bard as a story is being told throughout the video but the main focus is still on P!nk.  Looking at the video in terms of Goodwin’s  analysis of music it conforms to all of his six areas.

The music conforms to the conventions of a pop-rock genre by the beat of the song, the lyrics and also the mise-en-sene used in the costumes shows a edgy rock image.

This is an exaples of how costumes had been used to confornt to the pop-rock genre.
The video also follows Goodwin's second point as there are links between the lyrics and visuals: “So quit spilling your drinks on me”

There is also a link between the music and visuals with the speed of the editing from one shot to another. This can been seen by looking at the video and especially towards the end when the chorus is being repeated for the second time as the beat of the song and editing speeds up. 
Throughout the video there are numerous close up  shots of P!nk which fits into the type of music video being a Commercial exhibitionist as they help sell the artist.

 Here are two examples of two close up shots being used.
 
The music video incorporates the notion of looking with the use of going into the books as it continues to tell you the story of Lady Delish. Voyeurism is also used in the video in Pink costumes. 

 This still shows how the book was used to give the notion of looking.

 This still is an example of how voyeuristic treatment of women has been used in the video.

There is no real intertextual references used in the video, however some people may argue that the 'Story of Lady Delish' could be seen as intertextual reference as P!nk has related the lyrics of the song to the story.
