Nice video editing here...Though I can tell certain rough areas of music cuts, I think it was well executed in the terms of making the video fit with the song, so I'm gonna give you a gold anyway.

Thanks so much! Yeah, song editing is still something I'm working on, so thanks for pointing that out so I know what to improve on-and thanks for the gold!

You're welcome! Music editing is difficult, you really have to be careful to match the counts and the tune when it's clipped. But yes, I thought your video selections were superb and I love this song- good choice!

Yay for using this song Becca!!! I adore this song, and think you did a great job fitting it to Sawyer! He's a man whore, hehe!!! I think you did a great job, my only suggestions would be to try and work on your beat use a little bit more and also, limit your use of talking clips. I agree with the first poster too, that you need to look out when you cut up songs. It's definitely tricky, but not impossible.

Other than those things, I think you did a wonderful job!! Good lyric interpretation, btw. Keep up the good work and good luck in the contest!!

I love this song for Sawyer! I was practically dying laughing by the time we got to the end and there was this cavalcade of kids he was denying who were his, lol!

Great clip choices and a really cute, clever vid! I enjoyed it a bunch!

Yay!!! Bille Jean! This is by far one of my all time favorite MJ songs!

You did really great with this Becca! It was perfect for Sawyer's POV and you had great clip choices of all of the girls. I loved your lyric use for "dance on the floor" you used the promo clips, it was awesome!

Good luck in the contest!
