If you read the title here: "Priyanka Chopra ft. Pitbull: Exotic", you get the names of the two artists you can hear in this music video as well as the song featured in there. It runs for 4.5 minutes and was directed by highly prolific music video director Emil Nava. Chopra is a huge star in India because of her works in Bollywood movies and I am not sure how popular her music is there. She is not huge though in the western world and this music video here cannot change that one bit, even if it may have helped her getting cast for the new Baywatch movie. Probably not her greatest work either. Her singing here is probably the best example that with the right equipment you can make every mediocre singer sound tolerable I guess. The tune is kinda catchy though, I'll give them that. So I certainly liked Chopra more than Pitbull, but not a fan of him in general, also his award show hostings I've seen. Still, given that fact that I am usually much more into dark-haired chicks than blondes, I am rather surprised I am not that much into Chopra, even if she shows a whole lot of skin here. Now enough about the music and it says it all that this was not a hit by any means. Nowhere close. Perhaps that has also to do with the music video really being the most generic and predictable emptiness you can get these days from music videos. Nothing stands out or makes one bit of a difference. My opinion here is that you should skip it and if you still wanna go for it, the record is enough, no need to go for the video. I can also see some over-the-top politically correct social justice warriors not being too fond of the use of the word "exotic" here, but pay no attention to these snowflakes. There is no racism or discrimination in here. The flaws are others. Highly not recommended.
