LA Reid just tweeted yesterday that Justin directed the video so I guess you can blame him then.You can't blame Justin Timberlake though, blame the director for lack of creativity, even with a small budget you can do way better than this.
I wish they would just stop. There can not be a Michael Jackson video without Michael Jackson. Just Stop.
Look at the late 90s and early 2000s videos. Lots of animation and CGI. It doesn't even have to look real at all, just try something different.
I appreciate this effort, it's better than nothing for the promo, but I was just sitting saying I've seen it all before.
I want to post his here because this is what someone can do which is at least creative. Done by Nathan Jay, the music video is great.

Too bad The Estate requested him to take down the music, so he never got to finish the music video (hence the drawing parts washes away after a minute or so in)
More creative than anything done video wise sine MJ's death.
I actually enjoyed it. Maybe im the only one.
Love Never Felt So Good, in my opinion, doesn't have strong enough lyrics to warrant a music video that follows a narrative. It would pretty much be two people falling in love... hugging... kissing... that's really it. With a track like Chicago or Slave to the Rhythm, though, I can imagine an absolutely outstanding short film being put together. Those songs have stories that progress and peak.
With that said, I love this video. Very short and sweet. It's great to see so many different races and genders and ages rocking out to Michael. And Justin, as expected, does great.
