  • Great new video.Like the afro and Japanese look!! Now Flo has a higher profile she can't stay low budget it's a natural progression.If fans prefer the old video it's still out there anyway.

  • i couldn't agree more florence, your ideas are golddust and they're all you need to make an amaxing video, always do what you want not others because it's your music and you know the best way to sell it to your fans!!! love you loads

  • This is a mess. Midas is effing up with you and your art Flo. You don't need anyone's ideas but your own, but you do need a translator for the vid's. Do your thing and find your own visual 'translator'.

  • New video makes you look rubbish one of the reasons why im totally in love with your singing is because its unique, this video makes you look like every other female artist. You have one of the best voices ever but you shouldn't rush into gimmics to sell singles.

  • What the...? Are you nuts? The old 'cheap' video was my favourite music video ever. Why is your hair fuzzy? Why did you make a new one? I don't like the white backround. I liked the forest :( *PS* please tell me that was FAKE fur you were wearing. I didn't think you could be cruel enough to wear an animal But i did love the harp in your video. I love the harp in your songs. But I don't mind about the video too much its still the besetest song ever :) make your next vido a 'cheap' one

  • loved the red facepaint, will be doing my face like that when i see you in may! love new vid, but hate to say i find it to commercially pleasing, preferred the spontaneity and amateurness of the old one, but i vstill love you and your music more than anything in the world!!!!!

  • Just listening to rabbit heart and really fancy running through a field of flowers in my skimpies. What a shame it's freezing and I'm at the train station. Could do with that fur coat in the new vid, which I really hope is fake.

  • Ive been a huge flo fan for over a year now, i really think she should have stuck to the original, even though she said it looked cheap i still thought it was wonderful in thats how it should have been! If im honest i so prefered it when flo was not really known

  • Sorry, Florence - I thought you could do no wrong, but I really don't like this video - I love the song, of course, but I think trhat heavy make up is horrible, and only hides your natural beauty which always shone out before. You're a beautiful girl, so please don't be silly - it's the music that counts, not contrived routines like this. I speak as a big fan, Love and peace, Bill x

  • Awesome ^_^ I think I do still prefer the original vid though, but that's probably just me being awkward :P Easily a number 1. Stay cool :) xxxx

  • Brilliant vid - would love to see a "behind the scenes" making of it. Why is "Hurricane Drunk" not on vid player ?

  • Really scary white-out look! SCARY!!! But really good video - great editing - and love the energy towards the end. in the words of Bjork - WAVE YOUR FLAG!!!

  • WHOA! I loved the original and I was doubtful about this one, but after seeing it i'm blown away! It's truly amazing, so much more detail and mystery behind it.

  • I have loved florence for almost a year now, and Im a very dedicated fan, but what was she thinking?! Why swap the amazing original for a ginger afro? Her songs need more story to them, hurricane drunk, you've got the love, kiss with a fist are all about florence dancing which are great in some videos. But I preferred the low budget original because it was a classic, don't be blinded by all the glitters and make up of 'Making It' as a singer. Show some more rawness and passion.
