Is the plot to the video of Kelly Rowlands Stole different to the song

Cos I saw the video and that suggests that the bloke kills himself and Mary is so traumatised that she will never be a movie star - whereas in the song its made clear that the smart kid shoots her and Gary and goes to prison.

I think.

Why?

You're not Emma in disguise are you? Cos she keeps asking this.

No, I merely live with her.

How come out of all the great questions we thought of on holiday this is the only one anyone has remembered?

Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 11 February 2003 14:09 (twenty-three years ago)

The answer to the question is "Yes", although Mary is the girl who was pregnant, not the girl who found the suicide (unless they're the same person, it's been a while since I saw the video).

Haha I have some of your "great questions" still stored on my phone, you want I post on your behalf?

HA HA.

I blubbed like a baby at this song once.

The yakult vs special brew one had some rigorous thinking behind it.

I dont think I like this song.

SHOCKER

Is it the worst Marylin Monroe ref. of recent times? I say NO because of that stupid Citroen (?) advert that features a Monroe-alike behind the while and some greasy French crusties.

The coop is out there.

yeah, it's true, the video makes no sense.

I love this song.

it's Jeremy/Unpretty

The video makes sense, it just doesn't follow the narrative of the song!

Song: Unidentified kid Columbines Mary (a dancer) and Greg (a basketball player).

Video: Unidentified kid kills himself; Mary (a dancer) gets pregnant and has to give up her dreams; Greg (a basketball player) catches a bullet in a drive-by shooting. Someone paints a mural and Kelly sits in a tree looking fetching.

(Not as good as The Corrs' Queen Of Hollywood, of course)

Graham (graham), Tuesday, 11 February 2003 18:26 (twenty-three years ago)

(except she gets raped or something in that, and she's not happy, but not killed)

What does the chinese theater thing mean? how does that connect with Mary being pregnant?

What does the chinese theater thing mean? how does that connect with Mary being pregnant?by all means this a beautiful song but some things just doesn't add up.

Nephterry Auguste, Thursday, 4 November 2004 01:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, she's in front of the theatre and she's reflecting on the fact that she can't be a famous dancer now because she got knocked up and now has a kid to feed.

one year passes...
the smart boy was icolated and his mothers bruise probably came from his dad and he had no friends and no-one to talk to and was so fed up with life that he shot himself in the lavs.mary was walking past and herd the shot and went in to see what it was when she found the smart boy ded.She then found out she was pregnent and that means her life was stole because she cudn't become an actress with a baby. and greg's life was stolen because he was on the basketball team and one guy didn't like it because he thought he would be better than him, so at practise the gang shot him(i think) and that's how his life was stolen. at the end mary goes up to the 'in memoery of' wall and signs it about how she feels, 'think before you act' so mary's NOT dead. all this 'smart boy went and killed mary and greg then killed himsel!' is a load of rubbish because if mary had been shot, why was she alive at the end signing the wall in loving memory of greg and the smart boy? and if she was dead, why was she not on the wall? so thats a load of rubbish. it says about how his 'legs in chains' and 'baggy pants' because did you not see, he had a guitar and wore converse so he probably wore baggy pants and a chain round them. and it says about marilyn monroe fro mary because she loved marilyn monroe so much and wanted to be an actress just like her, she even went to a show based on marilyn and put her hands in marilyns hand prints in the concrete.and greg wanted to be on the baket ball team sooo much and when he got on he was excited fro the practise on saturday, but the guy (kobe) i think thought he would be better than him so they killed him. that is what happened.
thank you.
lol
