T. H. E. (The Hardest Ever) by will.i.am

Yes, you see that right.  Mick Jagger is in this video, and not just clips from long ago.  He sings part of the song, too, unlike in Moves like Jagger.  I was looking through the Billboard Hot 100 website, like I do whenever I can't think of a modern song, and I was amazed to see that there was a song featuring somebody who not only had a name I recognized, but also a name I liked the music from.  He can still sing, too.  Apparently, most of the people came to this song for the same reasons I did, because most of the comments appeared to be about Mick Jagger.  Anyways, I digress.  Jagger might have been able to sing, but the music video itself was horrible.  The main guy starts out running, then gets on a bicycle with large box-like things being thrown at him and a wall coming up.  He then gets in progressively bigger and bigger vehicles while large box-like things get thrown at him and walls rise from the ground.  He finally goes into space, where Mick Jagger is there, along with acid-trip imagery for the rest of the song.  If you enjoy your eyes, don't watch it.

1 point if the music video in question has very good dancing or no dancing.
The guy, the girl, and Jagger all like to dance a lot.  None of it is good.
1 point if the music video has no dancing.
No point.  One could say the same thing about the entire video....
1 point if the music video has something from the beginning come into play at the end.
No-sir-ee.
1 point if the music video has a series of related images, a theme, or a plotline.
I guess I'll count the constantly progressing vehicles in the beginning as a series of related images.  Point.
1 point if the music video has a theme or a plotline.
NO.
1 point if the music video has a plotline.
OH GOSH NO.
1 point if the music video is either depicts extreme coolness or extreme realism.
It looks lame.  Jagger comes on and, believe it or not, it looks even worse.
1 point if the music video, if it has a plotline or theme, has no diversions from it.
OH HOLY GOSH ON A STICK NO.
1 point if the music video has a person or setting with an interesting status or superpower. 
Everything about this video does not go hard; it goes home.
1 point to spare in case I really like it.
I really don't.

This video gets a 3.5/10.  
I am HIGHLY up for suggestions for music videos to review.
