The video is quiet underwhelming. I just felt that a lot more could have been done with the video as to make it tie in with the movie a bit more. Also, the special effects looked like somebody was experimenting with the green screen. When the video started with the trademark 007 gun barrel opening, I thought the vid was going to be good but it was just boring and lacked innovation. Of course Alicia had to spend a good portion of it sitting at the piano, whilst Jack White was seen strumming his electric guitar, kind of like they were having a competing standoff of the sort. I don't like the song, mainly because the two of them don't really suit. This was definetely a track Pink would have nailed with flying colours. Alicia, being a soul and R&B artist doesn't have the 'rock' texture to her vocals and as a result, her voice ended up getting drowned out in the heavily-charged rock instrumentation. She did look fantastic though, I'll give her that.....
