While I am not too fond of AI-generated videos (Duran made a few of them which are really crap), this one’s campy tone is quite okay. Given that it’s not an official single it is interesting to see they made such an effort. Love the reversal of roles with Neil acting like Chris.

Both Robbie Williams and Pet Shop Boys have:
"Feel"
"We're the Pet Shop Boys"
"I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing"

I don't like the title "Feel" - it's very Simply Red or George Michael. "You make me feel" is much better.

100% agree with this.
And also, I totally hate Simply red. What a pretentious little curly dwarf that guy.

He really seems to be coming out of his shell
Maybe there will see/hear more of his sining on the future album(s)?

I believe that a song can be praised on its own merits, regardless of who recorded it. They have some impressive songs but he is an unattractive self-loving sleazebag.
Also the title "Feel" is a bit sleazy. The single should have Harvey Weinstein or Jimmy Saveloy on the cover. Do you think it might have affected sales..?

"Nobody else does" would have been better

WTF did I just watch? That was so funny. I hope they put it on the BluRay with all the other videos from this era.

I don't think any of us had Chris singing in German in a video prominently featuring sausages in our predictions back at the start of the year

Agreed! There is something out of the box-ish.

Looking at the reflection in Chris' sunglasses I'm guessing he filmed himself alone on a MacBook?

Is this the first time a PSB demo gets a video? And directed by Chris himself!
It's simple but you can tell he's having fun. I will say it again: the demo is far superior to the album version. Chris robotic voice singing in German just makes the message clearer, even if I can't understand what he's singing.
