WoW Moviewatch: Shut Up and Grind

EmberIsolte nails the vocals wonderfully, which has more or less become what we expect from her. RavenSylpheG continues to do an amazing job with the machinima, creating a very distinctive, pleasing music video for the song. I think these two come together incredibly well in their work, and the styles match up perfectly. The video itself has the right kind of pop-fun feel to compliment Shut Up and Grind's irreverent lyrics.
The song itself isn't quite as catchy as Ninja Raiders, but then again, what is? It's an enjoyable song with a wonderful video. Great job!

The vocals were bad. The video was even worse.

Troll score of 4/10 due to lack of halariouse replys

I thought the vocals were very well done. I don't know if this is a parody of something or not though. The lyrics are kind of funny. Overall I liked it.

I thought it was pretty good, but it wasn't like "Man, that was really sweet. Where can I download the song?"

its a parody of Rihanna - Shut Up And Drive i think it was very well done and sounds really similar
5/5

Learn something new everday! I thought that the /i/ in "grind" was pronounced the same as in "grin", but instead it's pronounced as in "grime".
Also, it will never stop being surprised by how you guys pronouce acronyms :D i usually pronounce B.O.E. something like "bowie" lol.
English still has surprises for me!

The correct pronunciation of the word [graind'] were introduced long time ago in the Nyhm song "Hard like heroics". You just needed to pay attention ;)

"grind baby, grind baby"
Bump for awesomeness.

Everyone I have talked to pronounces BOE as the separate letters: "bee oh ee".

Hmm where could i get a mp3 of this to put on my mp3 player. She sings great!
I know its a parody but heck it still helps motivate me to just shut up and walk too :P

I loved this song on youtube when I saw it.
reminds me of grinding in Blasted Lands for animal parts. :) sing it under my breath sometimes when I'm questing.
Now she has a video out. YAY. Looks fantastic.

Wait, you mean it's not BElf, it IS Alliance, and it's not effing rap?
Where's the "Like" option?

It also looks like a shield from a quest out in nagrand, I had it back in BC when my pally was prot, a tanking shield.
dkhar Feb 10th 2010 3:55PM
Thought it was very well done, the part where she got ganked in stv was priceless especially to people that played on a pvp server lol

Could we please have a separate column for Wow movies and Wow music videos? 3/4 of the stuff on here is music videos, they're different things.
