In this Video Editor Reacts, I react to Melanie Martinez - TUNNEL VISION. This is my second time doing a reaction to Melanie Martinez and WOW I wasn't disappointed! I am loving her music videos and all the creativity behind them. Can't wait to do more!
Original Video - • Melanie Martinez - TUN... - Zábava
I think its like a mix of the music industry and beauty standards for women like 'make them smile all the time' 'make them tall' 'make them have long hair' and stuff to do with the industry like 'chase them for photos' and like the pains of a celebrity
it’s about what fans told mel in the past years!
@@staneda4ever_did she tell u that orr💀💀
@@strawberry-shortcake1 I’ve seen a lot of very religious Mel “fans” call her demonic lately, also people complaining about her new haircut being too short and her gaining a tiny bit of weight
@@strawberry-shortcake1 why did you get all mad at me... i didn't even reply to your comment. snowflake ig
@@staneda4ever_ and being more than what people view you as
This music video has a couple callbacks to her older stuff. The drowning in tears scene is a callback to her first album crybaby. The song as a whole shares the same sentiment as show and tell and strawberry shortcake from her second album k-12. The ending scene also has the same aesthetic down as that album. The heart icons reference things that fans have done/said to or about her over the years. For example, a lot of people called her demonic for her aesthetics and visual effects. Stuff like chase them for a photo and call them a bitch for being human are also talked about in songs like show and tell.
Also the hair growing is a callback to Class Fight from k-12
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT RECOGNIZES THE EFFORT SHE PUTS IN HER VIDEOS
Hearing from someone who really knows and recognizes the great visual work that Melanie and her team do is really nice. 🙌❤️ If people saw everything that these videos entail, they would really appreciate that an artist like Melanie dedicated so much love to her projects. 🥺
this.
Yes. All the pop-ups in the music video like, "Say there demonic", and "give them long hair", are all the things her fans and people on the internet call her. Like Doja Cat, she shaved her head and everyone called her demonic, whereas Melanie Martinez comes out with a new album, and a pink "nymph", character and people call her demonic. It is not fair how people treat you especially in the music industry. But, at the end of the day, I have learned there are always going to be people there to tear you down to the day you die. And that's just life. Yes everyone wishes life was cupcakes and rainbows, but it is not. Life at this point is basically like survival and a game. And some people don't want to play that game.
yeah doja cat should be cancelled for support neonazis and dating a sexual assaulter and groomer not for the demonic imagery
The demonic part I could never understand how people could call Melanie demonic, but the only 2 things demonic about doja is she keeps promoting the 1 eye (illuminati) which is another part of devilish behaviour and her demons songs that give me nightmares for 34 days straight-
I don’t think her song Pluto means real demons, “show me the demons I’m hiding” is a phrase or a metaphor used to express you are hiding deeper issues. She wants to heal from her deeper issues so she says show me the demons I’m hiding. It’s also reminds me of her song void. At least that’s how I interpret it.
@@Icyeecat oh!
Very well said
"say they're demonic" People was calling her like that for her new look, and people was hating her and making fun of her "give them long hair" Melanie Martinez got a hair cut and her hair is short now, and people is hating on her for her haircut, also for "make them tall and skinny" people have always made fun of melanie's height, and people are now calling her fat just because of yes
You should bring more videos about Melanie, she is an extremely incredible artist, and obviously, visual.
HIGHLY recommend checking out her past projects!!! Make sure to start at the beginning with her "Crybaby" album which has 13 mv for each song! Make sure to watch in order as its necessary to understand the story. Her next album "K-12" comes with a whole film that goes deeper in the story and has all 13 mv from that album in it!! Also check out the EPs she has in between!! Love the video ❤❤❤
technically it has 11 MV's because soap and training wheels are just 1 MV same with tag ur it and milk and cookies
The theme of this song appears to be about empowerment and self-worth. The lyrics imply a confidence in one's own body and a refusal to be objectified or reduced to a mere sexual object for someone else's pleasure. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is aware of their worth and is not willing to settle for anything less than they deserve, despite the distractions and games played by others. It may also be a dedication to women who feel like they are sexualized because the have what society sees as a "perfect body" having an hourglass body figure with big breasts and a thin waist. The chorus, in particular, emphasizes one's self-worth and their refusal to be objectified solely for sexual gratification. The line "But I'm more than that, more than that" is repeated multiple times, so is the phrase "you hold me like you're rushing to my thighs, too fast to fast fast too fast", reinforcing the idea that the protagonist is not comfortable with such behavior towards them and will not allow themselves to be just an object for someone else's pleasure. The song's message could be similar to "Cake".
I agree you need to see her past videos from her debut album called ‘crybaby’. She directed every music video for every song of the entire album I believe, and they’re all so stylised and incredible. It’s a MUST react. Makes sense to start from the very beginning.
This song is about overcoming peoples judgments, and believing that you are more than what other people think❤
the 'Say they're demonic' is since her new look, people were saying its demonic when its just a nymph
ive seen so many artists react to this music video but no one really criticised it from an artistic prospect ,although u were to talk about the editing of the video you did a pretty good job on the criticism of the songs lyrical background .😗 just subscribed ❤
Melanie is my favourite artist and im so glad you reacted to her crazy amazing visual fx! By the way, she isn't always a masked artist, her previous albums show her face.
hi Josh, you should do her video "DEATH" next. it was the first video she released from this album.
Up
Honestly Melanie finds a way to make it happen. The creativity of Melanie mind is awesome ! Gotta watch all them it’s literally one huge movie putting them
All together
The ‘say theyre demonic’ possibly references her enemies or antagonists in her life, that criticise their character (she calls, The Creature) as a demonic or malicious being.
The ‘fill their cup’ and ‘take their cup away’ could refer to her record label and/or fans telling her to create music, and then leak it before it releases. (fun fact: ‘TUNNEL VISION’ was one of her first leaked songs, and her overall most popular.)
The ‘give them long hair’ and ‘make them tall and skinny’ refers to the community or industry trying to influence her style and how she looks.
The ‘make them smile all the time’ maybe refers to people that go around, telling women to smile more. It may also link to the previous paragraph thingy.
The ‘give them their flower’ and ‘take them away’ could be how their fans praise them and then instantly trash on them. I could not for the life of me think of a different explanation.
The ‘chase them for a photo’ and ‘you made them very upset’ she has talked about previously and they said they don’t like when people tape them without asking, and if she denies them or tells them to stop, she makes them mad.
The ‘call them a bitch for being human’ definitely refers to her fanbase criticise her personality, and when she cries after, it refers to her album, song, and character (all of the same title) ‘Crybaby,’ where she talks about her childhood and also the character which she further explains in ‘K-12.’
‘Drain water’ isn’t in much need of an explanation.
The video game element at the end could refer to very many things, but I like to think she is saying that it doesn’t matter, and our reality is temporary and it’ll be over before we know.
5:18 'Say they're demonic' Is because when she released her new album she got called 'satanic' because of her new look
the real meaning behind most of the heat buttons are how people judge her like 'day theyre demonic' is how many people hate on her new style and era like while the tunnel vision video was live i was in the live and saw someone say ' she sold her soul' which she never did,, and you got the fill the cup right and the crying part isnt a correlation to crybaby its to show how everyone expects her to be perfect when she human too then she drowns the place by crying and the water going away is like having to vent your feelings and the 'give them flowers' shows how melanie always needs to act like shes perfect and has to always except a fans request even if its compeletely ridiculous then the "call her a bitch for bieng human' is to show that she has feelings too, shes not a robot. i think i covered all the important points but melanie has very nice song meanings
oo and the 'give them long hair' was after she got hate because she cut her hair shorter and people were like i wish she never cut it and the 'make them tall and skinny' refers to how alot of people keep judging her for bieng overweight (which she isnt)
More Melanie Martinez please! Btw, awesome reaction as always!
"chase them for a photo", "call them a b for being a human" after an event some fans were chasing her and after melanie refused to take a photo they started calling her names
Similar situation and even worse happened with Doja Cat in 2022 I think when after one of her concerts was cancelled because of rainfall, she had gotten cancelled by her fans from the country as well.
When it says “say they’re demonic” I think she talking about how people say she is a demonic because she wears the pink monster all most everywhere
People say she's demonic bc of the music she makes. People make fun of her bc she's not tall. People tell her to smile bc she's a "crybaby". She also delt with bullying when she was younger. She still does ❤😢
Love this reaction! Melanie Martinez is gonna be making a whole movie with her album
I think the one thing I appreciate the most about her videos is the choreography, it's not something that is too common in the industry nowadays. I feel it really helps add to the visuals and with making the lead person more of a focus point, rather than just planting them in the center.
By the way, The "Say their demonic" texts etc. People got sent them the night before it came out and they're in the music video.
The eye masking part is so cool... I couldn't stop replaying it when I first saw the music video 😭❤ It's on beat too! It's cool seeing this and getting an idea of how all those effects were achieved
What I think the video represented was how most of her fans are really young and try and control Melanie like she isn’t human. The ending part where she was moving her arms and the dancers moved accordingly represents her taking control of that
I got to see her in concert a week ago 🤩 I was SCREAMING this song bro
If you really want to dive into the Melanie Martinez universe I recommend starting with the video for “Cry Baby”. It’s literally the birth of this trilogy. There’s not much going on editing-wise but other cool videos in this era are “Pacify Her” and “Mrs. Potato Head”.
Next era is the K-12 where the song are about her school life journey. Literally kindergarten-12th grade. There’s not many standout videos since they are all part of a movie but “Teachers Pet” and “Orange juice” are great. At the end of the movie Melanie (Crybaby) goes through a portal where she “dies”.
And that pieces with the videos you already saw in which she reincarnates into this creature.
You made me remember the game…
All the hearts relate to her past songs like “give them long hair” means class fight and then I believe “fill their cup” is sippy cup.
“Say there demonic” is based on how people/haters are saying she is demonic. The song is about self worth and all those video game like buttons are things people want her to be or to do. People are saying she is demonic because of her new portals album look. She is not demonic AT ALL!! People have chased her just for photos, body shamed her, and made her terribly sad.
I love the meanings behind her songs and videos, love your analysis of the vid 🧚♀️🫶🏻
As a big Melanie fan, it’s always so fun to listen to a song of hers and then do the research on what it’s about. I am still working on portals but the more you listen to her lyrics, you can can tell that Tunnel Vision is almost (trying to put this in Melanie’s perspective) saying like, I’m not a doll - “but I’m more than that more than that”, which is a reference to Show and Tell (old song, old album) and all the things the player selected, is what her fans (not all, just toxic ones, the Mel fans are so sweet) have done to her, “make them smile all the time” is like her fans saying she should smile more, “call them demonic” is because she was called that for being herself and feeling comfortable in her own skin. And you’re totally correct about the pressure part because in the video she’s crying so much it’s like a pool and sometimes when your under so much pressure, you get so anxious, frustrated, and upset that you start crying from it. I love how you’re so kind about her videos because she usually gets called weird but you’re so honest and that’s why I always enjoy your videos. I hoped this helped a little bit cause I know that her storyline is confusing if you’re just now starting but if you do end up watching her other videos, start with her crybaby album and then go into k-12, it’ll help make more sense.
P.S.- k-12 has a film and also try to watch her interviews, it also helps understand her songs
Thanks again! Next, react to Death by Melanie Martinez
Melanie the best!
the use of the “they/they” is cos melanie identifies as such. melanie martinez is a very whimsical artist. the music they make is very in depth. there are many songs melanie has that deal with very real subjects but sonically the songs are catchy & upbeat. a few examples are:
tag youre it - kidnapping
dollhouse - dysfunctional family
show & tell - the dehumanization of celebrities
strawberry shortcake - women being blamed for S/A
void- anxiety
i definitely recommend a deep dive into their discography :)
It's they/them but also she/they
Its also she/her…..
Queen of Art!
all of the hearts used in the mv are things fans want/point out,
Make them smile all the time- many people say that her music is depressing, and really dark. Alot of 'fans' hate on her for her music being dark
Say their demonic- Alot of 'fans' say shes worshipping satan, etc etc, when shes never said that publicly. Last time she spoke abt her religon was a while back, (2015?) and said she was christan.
Give them long hair- When she cut her hair, around late 2022, when the portals era was starting. people were throwing around insults, saying she looked like she was bald.
Fill their cup- you already went over this, and understood it pretty well. People just wanted more music from her
Take their cup away- She takes about 2-4 year breaks in between each album, so 'fans' kept dming and commenting "When is the next album out?" And leaking her music to get more from her. So she "took away" songs that 'fans' leaked.
Chase them for a photo- Pretty self explanatory, she gets chased by fans and paparazzi for photos, and shes pretty senstive to that.
Call them a bitch for being human- Again, pretty self explanatory.
Thats all of them I can think of..
You are doing this video so cute!! I was always laughing how surprized you were of the little, cool things in her videos😅 As not even all fans understood the meaning of the video directly, you really did amazing with recognizing what's going on there. Love this!
I love the meaning and references this clip has💜 All the things that pop up on the screen are like things that obsessed fans do with them, like chasing for a photo, which has already happened. In their song "Show & Tell", they also talks about a similar situation.
At the end "Game Over" appears and a girl playing the game, the environment has a delicate and pink aesthetic, just like the aesthetic of the K-12 album, probably meaning how some of their fans still haven't gotten over the K-12 era and still want Melanie to have that aesthetic and try to control them like in a video game.

Amazing review! Reactions were genuine and you provided detailed explanations of likely methods used in post production for visual effects. As someone that used to video edit, i thoroughly enjoyed understanding how your mind works while examining art! 💗
I loved you reaction! Very positive and informative on the editing
We need more melanie content pleasee😭😭💚
It’s like show and tell, I think it’s abt the music industry, and anyone else on her mailing list? We got a cryptic message with a secret image and each heart in the thing was one
I’m glad you liked this one too!! I told you, her creative team never fails! They are super super talented!
When shes swimming in her tears thats a correlation to the “Crybaby” Music video
cool seeing a dissection on Melanie Martinez songs just finihsed the first video and im here now
I love this music video and I love your reaction so much this just amazing.She just amazing singer,song writer and director.🥰
This music video is what lots of people think is when her "fans" were trying to control her because they didn't like her new form so it's like at the end the person is mad that they lost the game and stopped controlling her. SHES MY FAVOURITE SINGER AND IVE HEARD LOTS OF THESE THEARYS! hope this helps!!
this video is my favourite reaction i've seen for the tunnel vision music video. i enjoyed it!
I feel like there's so many meanings to this song. Like the "give them long hair" "say they're demonic" and "chase them for a photo" is about her toxic fans, but it can also be about what its like to be manipulated and objectified as a woman. For example "fill their cup" and "take the cup away" reminds me of being treated well then suddenly not for no reason at all, which is a lot like how toxic relationships are. It goes the same with the flowers part
her song and music video “show and tell” has a similar message to this song! ❤️
It was so cool seeing the dancers from her tour in the video, they killed the choreo
Oh and the dance the lass part is a from Mad hatter from Cry Baby Album
Melanie martinez is very talented and has again a little body but BIG heart💗 we all love her
This is awesome!
I think Mel is so talented and puts so much effort in their work, it shows that she loves what she does ❤
Love your reactions and love Mel! I subbed to u ❤
i absoulytle adore her and shes so creative and puts so much hard work in to the mv
Show and tell is another song of hers that calls out people for the way that they treat her
the video is metaphor for the stuff Melanie was told after portals came out. the video game thing I basically her being controlled by hardcore fans. thank you for your reaction, I really love your analysis on her type of art
STREAM PORTALS !!!
Ok vv
omg yesssss a melanie video ^_^
Would love to see you react and talk abt her past music videos
Melanie Martinez got a new song by the way is faerie Sorier❤✨🧚♀️
The way I see it: it’s a song about people being obsessive over her. The video game theme could be how they see her nymph character: a creature from a game.
And the girl playing the game at the end could be a reference to how young some of her fans are.
For when it says demonic I think like people would say that her character crybaby was demonic because that she had like super powers and she was Inmortal
I really encourage you to do more of Melanie’s music video’s especially if you know about production because her music videos always Eats!
You gotta watch "DEATH" its the first video of the PORTALS era, VOID, and TUNNEL VISION are the second and third. DEATH is my personal favorite
10:40 yes! She is referencing a scene in here “Crybaby” music video from her debut album! It’s one of my favorite aspects of the music other than the fact the video actually made me realize what the song was about!
Melanie Martinez is a fantastic artist and very visual, story based musically. Like others have said, I really recommend going aaaaalllllllllllll the way back to her first album and watching them in order as all videos link to make a movie, main example being K-12, which was released as a feature length film :)
PLEASE, if you haven't already, REACT TO MAD HATTER!!!
it's so good, and i think you'll love it as an editor's pov especially.
The buttons meaning are what Melanie’s fans do to her like “say their demonic” Because lots of fans thought she became demonic/satanic but she isn’t and “give them long hair” because fans want her hair to be longer since she cut her hair into a mullet you were right on that part. “Make them tall and skinny” it’s meaning is because her fans realized Melanie gained weight after her K-12 era (or back in 2019) So fans want her body to look tall skinny. “Chase them for a photo” obviously celebrities experience them getting chased for a pic. “Call them a b*tch for being human” I don’t really know what this means but I think that it means is because sometimes humans are just too cruel and too obsessed to celebrities and telling fans that celebrities are human too. And the end is actually a fan girl controlling Melanie in the video game like what most fans do. And I don’t know what the other buttons mean.
I have been watching several of your videos and I feel like you’d really like Victoria Monet’s video “moment” it’s a wild one!
Death by Melanie is soo cool buy also her crybaby music video are soooo amazing especially carousel by Melanie
I really loved your reaction...! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯✨✨✨🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🦋🦋🦋🦋
Love Melanie💞😊
She had so many references to her old mvs
Ok ok love his reaction I also would love his dad to be their and get his concept as well hope they do more videos together in the future of her past music and future as well
The background moving looks like one of those big LED screens they use for movies now
from my experience with listening to melanie martinez for years i can agree with most of what you're saying and i feel like the ''say their demonic'' is based on how badly some people reacted to her new look and ''make them tall and skinny'' could be how some talked badly about her gaining weight so yeah i think it's also about preasure since she's a music artist
I would love to see you react to some of her music videos from K-12 and Crybaby. Try High School Sweethearts.
You should check out Mad Hatter by Melanie Martinez!! She has a really cool MV for that and I think it would be fun for you to watch and react to that!💗
You really really need to react to all her upcoming music videos next! The songs on the album will have some really fun stuff with visuals in the MV’s! 💚 Love your reactions and comments btw!! New Sub.
Love seeing your subscribe rate keep going up! Keep it up bud!
Thank you so much! This is such a blast to do and I am so blessed to have everyone like this content and have such an amazing subscriber base! You guys are awesome!
Melanie just dropped a new music video ✨🍄😭
It’s basically about what society expects from her as an artist and how she’s more than what people see
My daughter loves Melanie. She showed me her music lol
If you want to see some of her older work heavy in video editing, you should definitely react to “mad hatter”’s music video. It’s one of my personal favs
Fun fact: the record label only supported two music videos, death and void, tunnel vision and faerie soirée were done by her friends
you need to see 'mad hatter' is her best mv!
I love how you just start The video, nothing long talk like everyone else what nobody even actually watches, thank you lol
I LOST THE GAME NOOOO
haha love u!
Fun fact: melanie martinez can just stretch tall like that, coz she’s’ magic. There’s no editing 😊(im literally joking)
the ending kind of references her previous album, k-12. it was kind of that pink whimsical theme and I think this video was resembling her fans liking her past album/era better. and then calling her new era 'demonic' and such
5:20 These heart thingys are things "fans" have said abt her "say they're demonic" meaning calling her a sadist and take their cup away meaning leeking her songs
Great reaction video! You should check out Death, the first mv in this album!
You definitely need to check out her her other albums they’re all so unique and amazing
