Without You by David Guetta

Without You is about this guy who dances (and his dancing looks suspiciously like just talking with his hands...) and holds concerts, and his concerts all over the world somehow create Pangaea.  In his concerts, people dance in a way that looks suspiciously like just jumping up and down with their hands stretched upwards.  In the end they all meet and continue with the bouncing-with-upstretched-hands thing.

1 point if the music video in question has very good dancing or no dancing.
No point.  The dancing is very bad.
1 point if the music video has no dancing.
And yet said bad dancing takes up most of the video.
1 point if the music video has something from the beginning come into play at the end.
 No.  Interestingly enough, it ends with everybody making a heart symbol with their hands.
1 point if the music video has a series of related images, a theme, or a plotline.
Series to the max.  Point.
1 point if the music video has a theme or a plotline.
 There is no theme.  There's an undercurrent of "all the people from all of the countries are the same" but that is:
A) not a theme, but a message and
B) something that has been used as a message for decades and decades, nonstop.  I don't think many of the people watching the video really need this message....
1 point if the music video has a plotline.
Ha.  No.
1 point if the music video is either depicts extreme coolness or extreme realism.
The world does not seem very cool in this video, and the things that happen were portrayed so outrageously (look at the way the continents move!) that it's laughable.
1 point if the music video, if it has a plotline or theme, has no diversions from it.
It has these.  No point.

1 point if the music video does something that makes you think. 
The music video makes me think about never watching it again. No point. 
1 point to spare in case I really like it.
Can you tell I don't?  If not, then let me state it: I don't.


This video gets a 1/10
I am HIGHLY up for suggestions for music videos to review.
