Review of Does Love Make You CrazyLOVE! A feeling and a place we all experience. The Music and lead-in to this piece is an attention grabber that immediately shows we all can relate. DOES love make us crazy? The answers to this question come from voices that span generational as well as personal views. This allows different perspectives to come forth. And from these replies a mixture of humor and contemplation is displayed. After listening to the entirety of the piece, I felt that the overall theme was more about WHAT love is rather than the side effect of ?feeling crazy?. The latter half had beautiful words of wisdom, which I feel took main stage and gave this piece the definition of WHAT love is. Yet, may have been a bit too long coming from one voice. I think it could either be divided into 2 segments or slimmed down to a shorter version once the focus is tweaked to be a bit more clear. Overall, a lovely look at a common theme. |

Review of Does Love Make You Crazy
Does love make you crazy? That?s the question that is offered in the title. ?Crazy in Love?, Beyonce?s smash hit from the early 2000s, was the opening sound byte for this piece. While it gave many definitions for love, some by males, others by females, still others by elders and youth; I still eagerly awaited the answer to the question. Between the choppy transitions and the silly responses to what people?s ideas of love are, I began getting a little bit restless. The only ambient sound was the children playing during the interviews and Beyonce in the beginning and ending of the piece. It seemed a little unorganized with the interviews during the end, but after listening to eight minutes and fifty-four seconds worth of audio, I did come out with one thing:
Love makes you crazy, only if you were crazy to begin with? =]
(Ms. Lavender, that is the quote of the year!)
The tone was informal, but it didn?t take away from the essence of the topic since love is generally thought of as a youthful entity. The narrator?s spunky personality shined right through the waves, and I definitely am not mad at that. With a little more work, your pieces will be as smooth as ice. Good job though!
